A Comprehensive F.e,igiOus
.s..... Work.

The national Ppblishi.n .ng Co., of Phila.
have done good service to the cause of
religious literature, 'oy their timely pub
lcation of yhe Illustrated History of
the Biole, by IJr. William Smith, Of
England, which they have just issued in
magnificent octave volume of 1105
page',, containing over $50 fine Script
ure illustrations, and maps.
We need say nothing Of DIR. Smith as
a writer of Biblical literature. His
fame extends over the whole civilized
world, and he is everywhere recognized
as one Of the most conscientious, faith
full and competent historians, and one
Of the most profound classical scholars
of the day. All religious denominations
accept and endorse his statement, and
watch with eagerness for the appear
ance of his books. He deals with the
facts of sacred History, and discards all
sectarian discussion. He writes for the
whole Christian World, and not for
any particular denomination. His
Dictionary of the Bible" has had the
unprecedented sale of over 250, 600
copies in the United States alone.
His masterpiece, however, is The
illustrated History of the Bible, in
which he sums up all the results of his
profound studies, enriched with the
wealth of his great genius as writer
His book is not ephemeral, but will live
as long as the English language is spo,
ken, and will always hold its place as
the great History of the Bible, 1t is
| hrillia nt in ctpIa nrOfonnJ in thou,bt
and research, and as interesting aud
entertaining as novel. He carries us
from the Creation of the World, to the
death of st. John the Evangelist, rela,
ting the whole Bible. story, and making
plain its connection with contemporary
eous events in secular history. He
opens to US wealth of romance. beauty
and dramatic interest, which will sur.
prise even the constant readers of The
Holy Book, and will enable them tt
find more pleasure in the Bible thar
they ever dreamed of.
To this magnificent work Of DR.
Smith, is added an abridgment of Deal
Milman's great History of the Jews. Ii
this we are given IL thrilling narrative o.
the terrible siege of Jerusalem by Titu:
and the destruction of the temple, thu
dispersion of the Jews, their frantic ef
forts to regain their Holy City, anC
their wanderings and prosecutions il
strange lands. This is most yaluabl,
addition to the work, for no one cal

lating to the Jews, and the utterance

Historical RIMS.

One Of the most interesting that has
come down to our times is the signet ring
of Mary, Queen of Scots, now in safe
keeping among the treasures of the
British Museum. Sir Henry Ellis was of
opipiont that this was Mary's nuptial ring
when she was married to Darnle;, and
that it affords the earliest instan ,e of her
bearing the royal arms Of Scotland alone
after having discarded the arms OF
France. When Dauphiness, she and her
husband had quartered the arms of Eng
land, which gave great offense to Queen
Elizabeth. Within the ring is a mono
gram formed Of the letters M. and A..

she used the same monogram, probably as
a puzzle for the Queen of England and
her Councillor Burleigh.
The clue was, however, given to them
when Darnley was created Duke of Alba
ny. Another interesting ring is the one
which Queen Elizabeth is supposed to
have sent to the Earl of Essex, but which
was never delivered to him. 1t is of gold,
with the head of the Queen cut on hard
onyx, and it is now in the possession Of

Queen Elizabeth had double ring made
with two diamonds, which formed q heart
when joined. She kept one half, and sent
the other to Mary Queen of Scots as
token OF her constant friendship; but, a.

that. Mary commissioned Bearoun to
