When intemperance is under cloud
condemned to back streets and shanties-
it can do comparatively little harm.
The danger arises from it's responsibility,
from its presumptuous exaltation of
itself before the public eye-from its ar
rogant claim to social standing and re-
cognition And if this much is yielded
to it, it will go further and demand to
be regarded as alone and exclusively
respectable-doing its best to make it a
disgrace to be temperate. 1t becomes
Christian people, and all good citizens
therefore to deny and resist the respecta-
bility of intemperance-to endeavor to
create public sentiment that will frown
upon all the sources and agencies of this
evil. While we show the spirit of the
gospel towards the sinner, we must give
no countenance either politically or So
cially to the sin. 1t must not be our
fault or owing to our silence and mac
ton, that intemperance is so respectable.
And, let us remember that however
respectable it may be, it is wrong; nor
can all the influence of prominent citi-
zens, nor the splendors of decoration,
nor the DISCUSSES of humanity or patrio-
tism, ever make it right. w. E. B.

mainly as an Individual that DR.. Storrs con-
slders him, but as embodying the many forces
that had contributed to determine his spirit and
aims, and to assign him his work in the world
and as eliminating in supreme action
the long preceding tendencies of history"
This leads the speaker to arraign the Roman
Catholic Church, for Its guilty attitude in respect
to the use and diffusion of the sacred Scriptures
IN the vulgar tongue, and to show how this sec
ularlsed hierarchy, departing step by step from
the original gospel, found itself at length in
direct opposition to the explicit command of the
Saviour and the characteristic life work of the
apostles. DIR. Storrs does this not in an acrino.

When we state that this is a large-sized vol.
ume of 764 pages in small type, the reader will
have an idea of the amount of work implied in
such a collection OF passages from the 544 au-
thors whose writings are cited The author calls
1t in his preface one of his three dictionaries Of
English Literature, which is more correct de-
scription than that Of the title page inasmuch as
the quotations from the writers of antiquity or
from continental writers are very few in com
parison with those from English writers.
The work is arranged, alphabetically, by sub
jects, Of which there are 57l, and the quotations
amount to nearly 5000. The dictionaries Of
johnson, Webster, and Worcester, and the ex-
cellent compilation Of Henry Southgate, the

author remarks, have furnished him with manv
quotations, "but the most valuable portions
have been derived from the Tatlers' and Spec
tators OF Addison and Steele, the Ramblers OF
Dr. Johnson, the works of Sir Thomas Browne
Edmund Burke. Robert Hall, and Montaipne
and the vigorous, brilliant, and thoughtful Es-
says of Lord Macauay" Too much space en-
trely is given, we think, to the last named
writer, and too little to such master of prose
as Milton, while there is but a single quotation
from Fielding, and far too few from Swift. But
the merit OF the work lies in the patience and
industry with which so many authors have been
ransacked, and much matter gone over, in
order to bring together in the form of a diction
airy the choice thoughts of European literature.
1t is book that will prove of great value to all
literary men, and especially to those connected
with the press, where such books of reference
are almost indispensable. Nothing conduees
more to help the modern literary man than the
encyclopedias and dictionaries on all subjects
which he must collect around him such books
as Worcester's Dictionary, McClintock end
Strong's Cyclop@dia, DR.. William Smiths die
tionaries, Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World
ETC. To these we may add the present volume.
The work is in itself apart from this, very pleas
ant and instructive reading, for who has time
now for the vast range of literature? And there
is very large class who by such book will
be introduced to authors, of whom they would
remain entirely ignorant without it.
The Messrs Lippincott have done their part
of the work in a very handsome manner.
