"The Gospel History: A Complete Chrono- logical Narrative Woven from the Text of the Four Evangelists. With Notes, Original and Selected, and Indexes ;" by James R. Gilmore ('.Edmund Kirke, ) author of ''The Life of Jesus, according to His Original Biographers, and Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., author of Jesus of Nazareth: His Life and Teachings" and "New Testament Commen- taries," etc. The title of this book tells pret- ty nearly the whole story, except the fact that the work is done with the graphic clear ness that might be expected of Edmund Kirke," and the practical religious good sense and scholarship of Dr. Lyman Abbott. It is certainly an unique and valuable aid for study in the Life of Christ. The facilities for reference to the pages of this volume are rather unusual. In the front is a list of the nearly three hundred and fifty authors quo ted in the notes, giving their nativity, occu- patton, etc. Immediately following the text of the book is full analytical index, giving nearly LOGO references to topics, incidents, persons, places, etc. then a chronological index of the life of Christi giving the month and year in Christ's life of the several incl dents; and, finally, an index to passages of scripture referred to or used in composing the narrative of ''The Gospel History" so that any verse can be found upon it's given page, in combination with the other portions of the text Published by Fords, Howard & Hubert, New York, and for sale in this city l by Judd the bookseller.
 Those who have read the first and second volumes of "The Memoirs of Prince Metter- ! nich' will be eager to read the third and | fourth volumes, which have just been pub ! lished by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. ! The first two volumes of these Memoirs 1 brought the history down to the complete overthrow of Napoleon and the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of France. l The two now before continue the narra- | ton to the Peace of Adrianople in 1929, and l the history of the important events during ! that period is drawn from the private cores 1 pondence of Prince Metternich, which is very copious and interesting, and, being addressed 1 to members of his family, or to intimate 1 friends, is less formal than the autobiographi- | cal form of the former volumes. In these letters his personal habits and his character ! l siety are revealed and the personal narrative of this remarkable man will be found of great | interest, as well as the historic events, hif 1 treatment of which forms the principal oE feet of the publication.
