''The Fundamental Concepts of Modern
 Philosophic Thought" !" by Professor Rudolph
 Eucken, has been translated by Professor
 M. Stuart Phelps, and published by D. Ap-
 pleton Go. Nothing is more necessary in
 the study of philosophy than an exact and
 accurate knowledge of it's terms; otherwise
 the understanding goes stumbling amid con-
 captions but vaguely understood, and often
 created by the imagination rather than by
 any definite knowledge. Thus the real mean ing of such terms in modern philosophy as the "Subjective'' and the Objective"
 s'Monism'' and ''Dualism," Evolution, stOptimism' and ''Pessimism" and others in common use is often but vaguely or mis- takenly understood, and they create confusion in the mind for want of accurate definition. This work of precise definition and interpre- tation by analysis and derivation for the most common and fundamental terms of modern philosophy has been done by Professor Eucken in thorough and scholarly manner, and the work is almost indispensable to those who would study modern philosophy accu- rately and scientifically The book is fur nished with an introductory essay by Presi- dent Porter.

 "A Hopeless Case" by Edgar Fawcett, is 6 cleverly written story, quite out of the com mon run. The Hopeless Case" is a young lady, unsophisticated, with high aims and ideals, who has spent the twenty years or so of her life with people who, though cultivated and refined, are not in the least fashionable. Circumstances at this stage bring her into New York society, and she spends year trying to adapt herself to ways which seem to her frivolous in the extreme, and at the end of that time she re- turns to her early friends, as she explains to her hostess, Because you and those about you belong to another world from mine. Yours is world that laughs and en- joys itself great deal that reads little, thinks little, and is very careless of to-mor- row. It is an anexceedingly dainty world, with no sympathies for what lies beyond it's limits. like it much from an outward point of view, but there is much from an inward point of view that wearies and disheartens me- I want less repression, more genuineness, warmer impulse, wider intellectual reach' And so she leaves it all, and with it one who she &C., knowledges very nearly comes up to her ideal of manliness, and who would fain induce her to remain.

 Second Thoughts, " by Rhoda Broughton, is published in two volumes in the Appletons' Handy Volume Series The elements of which the tale is composed are: marriage prescribed by will under penalty of a loss of fortune antipathy on the part of the two persons who are thus required to be lovers; the growth of affection between them in spite of the adverse conditions the removal of ob stacles by the loss of the fortune which has been the barrier between them, and mar riage at last.
