c. ok, A NJ, OI the Ohio Wesley an UniVer-
Tn4 Methodist Quarterly Review for octo-
ber has N xtehdbd and e6nltJl1Tf1e tary
ieview of tins work by Rev. j. A. McAuiy,
=. NJ, OF Georgetown, D. e. which con-
at is gratifying that the work has been
gwen to English readers in a way So worthy
of its merits The translation by Professor
LacaOiX not merely preserves the spirit OF
the original, btL also in high degree that
gFaphic charm Which is SO often marred or
lost IN the P. Ocess of transferring thought
rom one expression to OabOther. II has been
widely nOticrd hy the press, and without ex-
cept1On, SO far as we have seen. IN terms OF
cOmmendation. In Que or two notices, oth-
wise favorable, there are stat ment~ likely
20 convey a wrong impression Of the En-
glish work in one respect, TT is difficult" &"
SAY ohe critic, to say precisely what this
book is. 1t is not translation of the orig
ihai work" Mr.. LacrOiX in one place calls
it an Infringement in another a digest
Now if from this the impression be- taken
that the book has been so modified in the
translation as 10 have lost material indent tie
ty with The original, 1t is utterly at fault
We have looked through the French work
sunc1entty 10 be fully Jusllned IN saylngS
that while narrative details are sometimes
DmpuncJiuuSly stated, and speeches Oh
questions lacking the int crest for American
r. aders which thesy hau for French, are in
-ome instances ep3tomiZed, the substance
j. always ed, and that IN other res
preparing the work in English had, we un-
utrstaDd, the authors cordial appreciation.
The interest of the work is enhanced by a
Biographical appensl1 careIu1ly prepared
by the translator. 1t has, beStaes, what the
original lacks, that requisite of every COM
plete book, 4 coplOus muck. The publishers
SHOW their appreciation of the work in the
elegant and attract i've style in which they
nave issued ii, They have done the author
a favor, and the cause of religion and civil
liberty sign i service in sending it forth
in n form and at a cost SO favorable to its
extensive circulation.
