Among the rare and quaint examples OF our
carly literature. rescued by the editors from the
Oblivion of dusty library shelves, is Edward Holy
okes Doctrine Of Life or of Mans Redemption"
1885, which, we venture to say, will be new
even to antiquarians. The matter is more enter
tanning than the title would indicate. 1t IS the
world old story over again of woman's wiles and
mans easy subsection. Tirzana Princess OF Moab,
and one of Solomons wives beguiles the King
into granting her the right to build "a chapel on
Mount Olvet for the practice of her idolatrous
rites to the ruin of his Kingdome and posterity"
and very cleverly the mink does it. Choosing
specially favorable occasion for the granting OF
a request she reminded him that she was not
brought up in his religion, which, she says, is
very cross to mans nature, and Is urged with
great terror and strictness." Her own religion
was more ancient and she had a most devout
opinion of it, and therefore, :" with an humble
department. of body with her face to the ground
she asked the favor of building chapel Solomon
was greatly shocked and proceeded to give her
sermon in five heads upon the wickedness and

right with some asperity, in her claims as to the
wonderful achievements of her god Chemosh, and
convicting her of sundry grave historical errors.
Although the King had thus brayed her as wheat
with pestle in mortar, yet her folly departed
not from her, She began to cry, Of course
Having her Handkerchief in her hand with snubs
of umrhs and imphs, fell at the Kings feet

dismissed and departs the presence of the King
But she doesn't give up. She sends her brother,
"a notable, insinuating. crafty instrument, who
on a time came to Solomon's Court and having
seen and heard an excellent concert Of music. Of
Instruments of all sorts as also the voices of
singing men and singing women, which
he admired and praised, and extolled the
King, as if all had been Of his invention. Also
he magnifed the King for his excellent endowments
in contriving his plots for buildings, and his wis
dom in natural philosophy, and his rare gift in
song and his wonderful instinct to speak Of the
natures, virtues and effects of trees, shrubs and
herbs of fowls beasts fishes and creeping things,
etc. With this artful preface, Tirzana's brother
opened the subject again, but with no success Then

after he had in most pleasant manner saluted
her, departs, and then her spirit was revived,
color began to be in her cheeks and lghtsOmeness
in her countenance." Then Mr.. Holyolxe asks
the reader to pardon him in a DEPRESSION"
wherein he treats Of Adam and Eve Satans
dealings by the Janneses and Jambreses, and
other instances Of womens wiles which corrupt
other women, and after little while men follow
their wives, and corruptions gangrenate quickly,
and spread far" Some months afterward the King
called for Tirzana again. She comes " in all

Detailed consideration Of the second and third
volumes must be deferred to another day. We
must not omit TO direct attention, however to the
admirable typographical appearance Of this work
The type is large and handsome throughout, es.
pecially adapting it to household use. The nu

One meritorious feature is the headings, which are
always interesting, and keyed TO the manner of

these days Of sloveny bOolmalong, that the reader
finds under his hand SO clean and workmanlike
