THR FROZEN DEEP. By Wilkie Collins. w.
F. Gill h Co., Boston !: Kahn Il Co., New
Orleans.
The play Of the Frozen Deep, by Wilkie
Collins, was first represented in 1856 by a
company of amateur actors Of whom Charles
Dickens was one, was transformed by the
author into shape for public reading, and now
is made to do q third term of service in the
covers of book. The amount of work it has
done being considered, this production seems
a very slight thing though we can easily i'm
agine that it would be infinitely more effective
in dramatic form than in the guise of story.
Its plot is slight and not unusual, and is de-
veloped in bald, mechanical fashion which
is by no means attractive.

STONES THROUGH CLASS HOUSES, or Modern
Christianity Civilized Heathenisn. By
the author Of The Fight in Dame Europa's
School Boston: William F. Gill Il Co.
New Orleans: Kahn & Co.
The Fight in Dame Europa's School crsa-
ted no little sensation few years since,
as the keenest political satire ever writ
ten. The reputation then established for
Canon Pullen, its distinguished author,
will be in no wise diminished by the
present publication, which is an equally
scathing satire upon the conventional Chris
tianity Of the present day, and a powerful
plea for the pure Christianity Of Christ him
self and his early followers.
The work itself is in the form of dialogue
between a modern civilized heather and a
modern orthodox clergyman, and in unrelent-
ing denunciation of theological shams has
never been surpassed.
There is no satire in the preface, which con-
tains the real argument II is in very dead
earnest and cannot be read carelessly or dis
missed lightly. In point Of logic, it is ap-
parently unanswerable, though it will doubt
less call forth bitter replies and severe denun-
cations.
