PRINCIPLES OF ECoNoMICs.-In this
substantial volume Grover Pease Osborne,
comparatively new writer on political
economy, presents a valuable c0ntribu-
ton to that important branch of science.
He discusses every detail of the subject.
but does not ask the reader TO adopt his
own conclusions. The work is singulary
clear aud attractive in style. Every topic
is discussed with simplicity and direct
ness. Socialism is pOintedly considered,
the definitions of wealth are extended, and
the author has endeayored to make his
book one that can be easily read and
understood by any one Of ordinary intelli-
gence. Every one should read and study
elementary economics. but the subject is
often so dry. and the reasoning OF the
great writer so abstract, that a really
good general work is needed. Mr.. Osborne
has, in measure, supplied such work.

hopeful. Its dominant idea is the ultimate
evolution of universal religion. The
authors of the various chapters evidently

what its title indicates, guide and coun-
selor along the way leading to the true
spiritual life. Published by G. ii. Ellis.
