NEW PUBLICATIONS.

From Samuel Carson & Co., San Francisco,
we have " Pre-Gacial Man and the Aryan
Race" by Lorenzo Burge. 1t is from the
press of Lee * Shepard, Boston, and sells
at 81 so. The author treats the early
chapters of Genesis as containing an ale
CORY, in which is hidden history of cre-
alton, of pre-glacial man, of the Aryan
race, and of the Asiatic deluge He claims
that it is wonderful this history should
have been in the possession of man for
5000 years and not have been suspected as
existing. That this history corresponds
with the agreed facts of geology and those
revealed through Christ. The chief
novelty in the work is the treatment of
names as cipher keys, indicating races,
characters Of races, conditions and historic
periods. The work is elaborately illus
trated. We have not read it further than
to gain faint idea of its character. We
judge that it is a book of. very much and
novel interest. We are promised that it
shall be supplemented by a second volume
showing how the transmission of knowl-
edge and civilization of the Aryas through
the Turanian TO the Semitic race was
effected.
From John B. Alden, New York, we
have of his Manifold Cyclopedia )"
another number. We have heretofore
work, as several numbers have appeared.
We venture TO forecast its great popularity
Its compactness and cheapness greatly rec
ommend 1t. As to the quality of the work,
both literary and mechanical, any reader is
capable of judging. The volumes received
are certainly deserving of the praise which
they seem TO be receiving. The venerable
Professor Day, of Yale College, speaks of
the work in the following terms: The
book IN all respects more than answers nv
expectations. 1t is very neat volume, of
form convenient for use, firmly bound, of
large. clear type, with contents of lust that
general character which the popular reader
requires, comprehensive, accurate and COM
pact. Its marvelously low cost makes it a
prize eagerly to be sought in every intelli-
gence-loving household"
