THE OLD WORLD IN IT'S NEW FACE.
impressions In Europe in lS67-'o5 BY
HENRY w. BELLOWS, Vol. II. New YORK
CLARKE II Co. 1871
All who read the first volume Of
DR.. Bellows's Travels in Europe will
make haste to secure the second vol
ume. Notwithstanding the thread
bare nature of the theme. the distin-
guished divine really succeeded in
putting a new face on many old sub
jects in his journeyings through Eu-
rope. He seems to have been pecu-
| Iiarly adapted to this work. for, added
to an admirable power of observation
the author has the rare endowment
of that judgment which prompts him
to give us graphic sketches of things
interesting to American readers, with
out the exaggeration and straining
which mark most of the popular
books of travel. He also keeps him
self very properly in the background,
and remembers that few people out
side of his own circle of friends care
to know of his little difficulties about
omelets or the private history of boot
black. The second volume takes us
through Italy and the East, and
therefore offers peculiar attractions to
all who are interested in knowing the
| present condition of Bible countries.

We do not call our school teachers
Dominies, but all who read this vol
ume viii at once recognize its author
as a genuine teacher. The English
papers all speak in the most compli-
mentary terms of the merits of the
book. We copy a notice from the
Pail Mall Gazette:
1.-THE strong points of our author
may be stated at once. He really
knows what he is writing abo1t-a
mighty matter to begin with. He has
taught boys, lived with them, and
studied them; aud can look at them,
though a school master, with other
than a school-master's eyes. This,
indeed, is the distinctive interest of
whashe has to say; fer though every
body may hope that he knows his own
boys, how can he be sure that he

submits them to examination as a
genius. and says many shrewd things
about them from that point of view.
Another of his strong points Is, that
he holds a middle course between the
old and new theories of education
and has the faculty OF picking out
what is good in each. And in a much
more trying part Of his duty he acquits
himself well. He handles what he
calls in the chapter he has devoted to
them, The Difficulties and Vacations
of the Dominic with fairness and
temper"
