NEW Pu BLICATIoNS.

Essays In PHILOSOPHICAL and New, by
William Knight. OF the seven essays coz
tanned in this volume two were delivered to
the Royal Institution of Great Britain, one
was read to the Ethical Society at Toynbee
Hall, East London, in 1888 and the remand
er were addressed to Philosophical Societies
or to University students. The author of
these papers is P Professor of Moral Philoso-
ply and Political Economy in the university
Of st. Andrews, N. B. and dedicates the
book to his friend Mr.. James Russell Lowell
Thoroughly imbued with certain very posi-
tive immaterialistic views, Prof. Knight
never argues from his theories and facts
with anything but scholarly breadth and
quiet, impartial statement. In dealing with
Idealism, the classification of the Sciences,
Ethical Philosophy and Evolution, Eclesiasti-
cism, Personality and the Infinite, Immor-
tality and the Doctrine of Metempsychosis,
which are the themes that make up his pres
ent work, he maintains always the philoso-
piers consideration Of opposite claims and
the views of different thinkers. together with
an answering strength of conviction in his
own. Here is material for study and the
student will find many suggestive ideas and
will carry away stimulus and vigor from the
perusal of these pages. Whether one agrees
wholly or not with the theories here advaD ced
he must grant them to be strong in founda-
ton, fine in expression, and elevatiDg in
tone. Boston, Houghton, Mitfiin and Co.

Verses Along the Way by Mary Elizabeth
Blake. Many readers will associate bits of
verse and fragments of poems that they have
culled here and there from the magazines as
specially choice and winning with the in
itials IN. e. B. And the letters now blossom
into full name in the present pretty volume.
This writer has previously published other
books of prose as well as verse. Irish by
birth and Roman Catholic in religion, the
poems on Boyle O'Reilly and many about the
Emerald Isle are full of the fire of the SYM
pathy which love kindles. Mrs. Blake has
true lyric grace: she sings. not talks in verse;
She is fond of little children and writes
charming baby ballads. Here is the last
