volume OF the series Of Bible biographical

the good work was done. THIS volume con-
tAins fifteen discOurSes, each on aphaSe uf the
romantic history OF Joseph Like the
volumes on Daniel, David, Elijah Moses,
Paul and Peter which have preceded it, It
svails itself oi the latest results ot Ejblical
criticism and arch Biological diSrDVorv and
finds nothing in these to weaken faith in the
scriptural account but surprisingly much in
illustration and eiuCidaton OF that account.
The style il lucid and furcIble and the ser
mons are peculiar in being equally interest
ing and satisfactory for the professional
student and for the ordinary reader.
Learned yet eminently practical, devnut and
full of hOmely common-senSe, they belong
to the very best sermons ot the kisd to lie
found anywhere.

As the years 90 toy Geo. Eliot will come
to be more and more studied. She WAS one
ot Englaud'S first rank OF gruinses and no
woman Of her race and tongue has won such
| fame. ear by year study and criticism OF
her will develop, with the added advantage
| of the light thrown upon her character and
| her works, and the relation OF her personality
| to her writings, by the fullneSs OF the me
| moirs, letters and journals already publ iSned.
| By the aid ot these and with ardent interest
| and profound sympathy, Abhe Goold

We have noticed from time to time the dis
criminatng literary work done by our Tor

editing the series "Thrnugh The lear WIN

II the last number issued for MAY is the ho-r
OF the series thus lar 1t Is probably owing to
the fact that this volume makes So plain, that
