Our Chancellor; Sketches for Historical
Picture. BY NORTH BUSCH. One vol
ume. Crown Svo. $3.50. Translated
from the German by WILLIAM BEATTY
KINGSTON, author OF "William l., Ger
man Emperor" :" The Battle OF Berlin"
&c. Two volumes in one. New York !:
CHARLES SCRIBNER's Sons. 1884.
OF course it is a life of BISMARCK. He
is the Chancellor. Mr.. BENTON wouldn't
let the tite-pages OF his speeches read
" Hon. THOMAS ii. BENTON" but made
them read simply "Mr. BENTON" There
was but one Mr.. BENTON. There is but
one Chancellor. BISMARCK, like NAPOLEON
and FREDERICK the Great, belongs to the
number OF great historical characters
whose personalities are as interesting STU
dies as their achievements. He has in him,
as they had, an element which gives a pc
culiar fascination to his career, about
which the world will never tire OF read
ing, and about which there will always be
something OF the marvellous.

Nan: Whence and Whither7 BY RICHARD
B. WEsTBROOK, d. d., Ii. B., Author OF
"The Bible-Whence and What :"
Philadelphia: j. B. LIPPINCoTT q Co.
1884. Price 81.
The author is Doctor of Divinity, but
a very "liberal" one, il by the word
" liberal" is meant very free thinker for
clergyman. Yet he tries 10 reconcile his
admissions with the Bible. We doubt If
such books do any good. This one is highly
interesting.
