BOOK NOTICES.

ALAN THoRNE, by Martha Livingston Moodey.
Boston: D. Lothrop Company; price 81 IS.
After surfeit of theological novels by
female novelists aimed against the tenets of
christianity, it is refreshing to note the ap-
pearance of one-also by woman-that
sturdily defends the old faith. Martha
Livingston Moodey has given us such an
one in ALAN Thorne." Its conception is
decidedly bold and original, aud has been
skillfully and ingeniously carried out
Some of the incidents of the story are full
Of pathos. Parents and teachers who have
been looking anxiously for some book to put
into the hands of the young people as an
anUidote to Robert Elsmere," may find
what they want in this. 1t may, indeed,
almost be said to begin where Robert
Elsmere" left off, and to show IN the career
of Robert horne how Elsmere's life would
most probably have developed had he
been spared few years longer.
