RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., New York
city, have sent US by mail the following
new books, fresh from the press:
INTENTIONAL GEOMETRY. One of the
Science Primer series. By William
George Spencer.
The little book contains a series of prob
lens intended to familisrize the pupil with
geometrical conceptions and to exercise his
inventive faculty. 1t is the primer of prac-
teal geometry, comprising questions and
definitions designed to be of use to the
learner when he takes up theoretical geome-
try.
THE ILLUSTRATED PILGRIM's PROGRESS,
in English and French. POlyglot edition;
by Benjamin West, of London.
Bunyan's great work has occupied place
in the front rank of literature for more than
two centuries. 1t is stated that the Bible
alone, of all other books, has gone through
so many editions. The experiment of trans
lating the quaint, 81 nple, thoroughly Anglo
Saxon idiom of this immortal allegory into
French has proved only partially success
full. The translator does not seem to have
been able to transfer the charming sim
plicity of the original, but contents himself
with the redundant style of modern French.
As the English and French are printed on
opposite pages, however, after the style in
which the laws of Louisiana were once pub
lished, the reader, if he possess but lin.
tied knowledge even of the English Ian
guage, will get an inkling of its real merits

IRELAND ANU AMERICA IN FRANCE.

IhCGHINO HiNO SaWC1tSA IN ttFN'SOS'
When the English rife association
men succeeded in supplanting the
Irish and Scotch teams with British
team they thought they had heard the
last Of them, particularly Of the Irish
team. the Irish team-though rep
resentative only of a certain class
gave Ireland and some OF her grew
ances too much prominence IN the
eyes of the world, and this would
never do for John Bull. SO the order
went forth for mixed team. But
Major Leech, who first originated
the idea of an international rifle con-
test and who has been Captain Of the
Irish team during several years, is not
inclined TO favor the amalgamat1On
business, and SO he once more comes
forward to suggest an h-Amerlcan
match. In letter written from Dub
lin to Colonel SchermerhOrn,S Secretary
of the National Rife Association or
America, Major Leech says:
"By the rules of the Centennial
match the winning team may select
the range for the future competition
for that trophy, the winners OF which
are the champion rifle shots of the
world so long as they can hold the
prize. The American success at
Creedmoor has been SO uniform hith-
erto as to cause it to be asserted that
the range gives an undne advantage
to the American team and that per-
haps a change of venue might not be
unacceptable to your champions. 1t
has occurred to me that some neutral
ground. which / before ventured to
suggest. might be agreed upon for
the next competition Again, the
Irish and American match is one that
| have reason to believe it is the wish
of the Americans, as it certainly is
the desire of the Irish, to perpetuate,
and thus to still further induce, as
! far as rifle shooting intercourse can.
that kindly reciprocity Of feeling sc

| flying to feel that our united efforts tC
create goodwill are fully acknowl
edged at both sides of the Atlantic
The great worlds Exhibition to take
place in Paris in 1878 would seem tC
offer all the advantages of a neutra
ground for one or both of these com
petitions. If my proposal is favorably
received and if your team decided or
coming to Europe next year, | neeC
not say what pleasure it would give
rs to welcome our American friends
once more, and if Paris be selected
for the Centennial match | have NJ
doubt than an Irish team would b,
certain to enter for it. That tn,
French authorities would give us fl
cilities for such Il trial of skill | have
reason to believe, and the term
already settled we have but to adher
to the rules of the Centennial match.
Considerable interest is bein!
aroused in this country in the Pari
Exhibition, and Major Leech's sug
gestion for an Irish American riff
match will tend to its increase. TIL
suggestion is an excellent one, TO
various reasons, and, we have n
doubt, will be acted on favorably.-
