NJ. A.. which forms OF the series now being pub
lished by Scrbner & Welford is said by the author
in his preface to be but resume Of facts discovered
by Others. large number of which have not before
appeared in English been colated until now.
Very wisely the attempt has been made to con-
slider Rubeus III his dual character OF painter and
diplomat the threads which led to the events OF
the two thoroughly interwoven that
the consideration of set without reference to the
other would be very inadequate Still however. in the
present volume have too much OF this painter and
too little his art for while his and BIRTH
his education and masters, his life in Italy. Spain.
France. Holland and England. are fully and care
fully described. there is but little Of criticism de-
scrption Of his master works or Of analysis of his
different styles. by no means commendable
prudery on the part of the publishers has led them
to reproduce none of the painters works which
contain nudes. work on Rubens without illustra-
ttons Of some of his finest works wherein he showed
the great glories of that gorgeous coloring with
which his name is always associated. aud without
detailed mentions and crtiques OF those works. is
decidedly like description Of Rome without
mention of st. Peters.

which would be out OF place in work OF the
scope Of the present one. Hogarth thus preached
greater if not effective sermons than
delivered from the pulpit. To-day their
value historically is incalculable. The life and
ways. the scenery ard costumes Of London, pic
tured with fidelity and truth which scrnpie
not to descend where necessary to the most
minute and even offensive details. and
which no chronicier could have attempted
to equal. Mr.. Dobson in his present volume has
skilfuy avoided detailed description of those parts
Of Hogarths work which. however great their value
may his students possibly better lett alone
in work intended to be popular. srin we hope at
some future time to have from the author an ex-
haustive volume the subject. The descriptions Of
the Harlots and Rakes Progresses. Of the Marriage

cellent. The series of the Industrious and Idle ap-
prentices seems to be rather sighted. though the
author says 1t lis full Of contemporary detail OF the
most interesting character" There is at the end Of
the volume chronology Of Hogarth's life list of
the engravngs by and after him and OF his prin
cipal paintings and Of their present possessors.

"ANGEIE's FORTUNE"

Andre Theuriet is OF the limited class Of
Frenchmen who write realistic stories without
finding indecency and other repulsive qualities me-
cessary to their realism. His angeles Fortune"
although not pretty story. is extremely natural
and contains characters not one Of whom is conven-
tional. book without q sinner would be almost
impossibility. there is both sin and in
the plot. but there is gloating over the and
magnifying of the other is the case in too many
strong French romances. For part Of the pleasure
to be derived from the story the reader must thank
Mrs. Mary Neal Sherwood. who not only has made
acceptable translation. but has judiciously made
few alterationS and omissions that render the
rative acceptable to the generality of American
readers. Published by T. d. Peterson & Brothers.

Mr. Charles Lanman. OF Washington, D. c., has
just compiled. and James Anglim Of tho same city
published volume from the letters and diary OF
the Rev. Octavius Perinchief. an Episcopal clergy
man. who attracted more than ordinary attention in
the various parishes and social circles where he was
known, but who received far less attention and
gard than his character and abilities demanded.
From his diary and family letters Mr.. Perinchief ap
pears to have possessed that peculiar combination
Of wisdom. unselfshncss and earnestness that are
invaluable in pulpit aud pastoral work. and which,
like the other good things of this world are rare in
proportion to their value. He talked and wrote
with scarcely particle OF churchly for
malism, and, he was an honest
thinker. his simple. artless diction the
conveyance of much good sense upon matters that
are religious moro than churchly. He looked at
human nature exactly . man Of the world would;
estimated by their deeds instead OF their pro-
fessons; detected hypocrites and humbugs In spite
of all cloaks and wells. yet kept his own nature
sweet by recognizing good wherever he found it, and
claiming brotherhood. personally or through his
sympathes with the noble spirits of all faiths and
climes. Had he been man Of greater prominence
in Church his diary would be eagerly conned by
thousands. yet it's contents more valuable than
they would have been in such case, for they show
US the heart of good man who Is sustained by

scure parishes and without either money fame
are literally giving their lives tor their fellow men.
