1 Tyermans Wesley promises TO be the mos,
satisfactory life of the founder of Nethodism
that has yet appeared. 1t lacks somsth:ng OF
the grace of style OF Southey's Life of Wesley,
| but Is much more complete and accurate. This
volume covers the most eventful period OF wes-
eys career, from TIS to 1901 and gives in one OF
its interesting chapters the veritabe history (for
the first tme) of wesley's troublesome court
| ship with Grace Murray.

MUSIC AND MORALS By the Rev II Ha.
! q po- 4; ne" iork: Harper Bros. Through
The title to this book hardly gives true idea
of its character. In scattery way it gives
wonderful amount OF curious information in
regard to music and composers, set off by criti-
cism acute if not always just. The first part
deals with the philosophy of music, its emo.
ions and morals; the second is biographical;
the third instrumental, and the fourth critical.
TH0CGHTs UPON GOVERNMENT. By Arthur
b. Mohun Col "
Mr.. Helps, who has written much, mainly
upon popular subjects, here takes up the more
ponderous affair of Government. That he is
conservative, is shown at the start by the dedi-
cation of his book to Lord Derby; and entering
upon the volume, itself, is found to be a good
tempered argument to show that without ignor-
ing the largest and deepest political questions,
more OF the social we'll being of the people may
be made to depend upon Improvement" and
"improvers," rather than upon "reforms" and
Performers"
ANCIENT AMERICA: Or, NOTES ON AMERI-
NJ New H1:I: Harper Br Osn gTts TEsgh
Philip Solomons and J. @. Psrker
Mr.. Baldwin, editor of the Worcester Spy. and
who will be remembered as a member of Con-
gress from Massachusetts,, has followed up his
erudite "Pre-historic Nations by the present
important work. 1t is valuable as giving in
concise form all that has been deyeloped con-
shrewd and thoughtful suggestions relative to
the significance of these antiquities. Treating
upon the ancient " Mound Builders whose
work yet remains in both North and Soutb
America, Mr.. Baldwin holds that the mounds in
this part of the continent were used precisely as
similar structures were used In Mexico and Cen
trail America. The lower mounds must have
been constructed as foundations of the more i'm
portant eGifces of the mound building people
and the higher mounds, with broad, fiat sum
mits, reached by flights OF steps on the outside
are like the Mexican teocallis or temples.

Parker and Philip Solomons.
This volume concludes Lord Brougham's au-
IN which he recalls the chief inter-
ests and events of his long life. Like the pre-
ceding volumes, it has delightful streak of
sarruious vanity runnin6thrOugh it and giving
II a flavor Of personality. The memoirs con- |
clude with notices of some OF the writer's most |
valued contemporaries-LordH Holland, Palmer
ston, Russell, Scarlett, Plunkett, Granville. |
Durham, and others-and these are quite inter-
esting.
