city have Just published The Life ano
Correspondence of Arthur Penrhyn
Stanley, Late Dean OF Westminster, by
Rowland E. Prothero, M. A., bsrristsF-
at-law. late fellow of All-Souls' college,
Oxford, with the cooperation and sane
ton of Very Rev. G. g. Bradley, d. D.,
dean of Westminster. The prominent
position which Dean Stanley held in the
ecclesiastical, literary and social world
for more than generation gives a spe-
cial value and interest to this adequate
and authoritative biography. Dean
Stanley's sympathies were so broad, his
tastes so liberal. his personality so
unique and attractive, that this detailed
portrait of the man and full account of
his active life will appeal to the widest
class OF readers. The author has been
fellow at Oxford, and was recently APP
pointed editor of the Quarterly Review.
The late Dean Stanley was unique
among English ecclesiastics and schol-
srs in his position, in his work and in
the influence which he exerted, and this
biography is perhaps the most notable
work OF its kind since Dean Stsnley's
written with perfect courtesy, but with
out undue reserve, and from its pages
Dean Stanley stands forth, exempted
from the censures and criticisms which
disturbed his life, and in the light of
ore who honestly did his duty and fol-
lowed his convictions faithfully in
whatever he did.
The work passes at once in the list of
the Jew great biographies of modern
times, and contains indispensable ma
terials for the writing of the history OF
the Church OF England. 1t presents
not the conservative side of things, but
the convictions and the principles of
one who was first pupil OF DR.. Arnold,
then q disciple, afterward an sdmirer
and almost disciple OF Cardinal New
man, but all the time liberal minded
churchmsn, who became in the lapse
of time the leader of the broad church
school of thought which Coleridgs in
augurated, and who carved out for him-
self unique and distinct career in Eng
lish life and thought. The deepest in
terest is felt in this country in the ca.
reer of such man. His writings have
had o large circulation In the United
States, and he was one of the few men
who stand between the great teachers OF
the world and the multitude, and make
common their thought to the human
race. 1t is an ample and fascinating
biography, presenting q great career
with desirable fulness and in literary
form intensely attractive. The work is
in every way admirable and work that
will be to many well nigh indispensable.
Perhaps no similar book since Treve-
lyan's Life of Macaulay has been pre-
pared with 80 much care or wisdom,
1t will surely reach not only the
library Of the churchman and the
scholar, but the sitting room table,
where the family gather for winter
evenings enjoyment.

Have you seen bob ?" There is only
one Bob" and it will entertain YOU
hugely if you will read Bob, d Fox Ter
rier's Autobiography, by our fellow
O. A. Sumner. Bob" is an
eartern born dog and came west for his
health. He narrates his journey west
il very graphic manner. He is a sensi-
BILE dog az we'll as a philosopher, and
well posted in dog etiquette, their duties
and obligations. He is not a coward,
but at the came time knows when "dis-
various experiences are amusinglv told.
HIS wife ''Bess" and the "Babies' are
to the reader and become
quite july companions before the end of
the book is reached. His experiences
with the dog catcher and at the
pound are given, together with
the killing of prize hen
which placed the entire family of
Bob" in disgrace and caused "Bob"
to wear FOOLS cap on his head and sit
all day on the gate post. Then came
the event OF Bob's liie-the April dog
shown which. to his chagrin, he car
RED off only q red ribbon, while Bess
captured blue one. Bob's life, as it is
published, shows him to be pretty, in
telligent terrier, and teaches that dogs
life is happy one when he is owned by
q good master, and it is particular hades
hen he is kicked and cutfed by those
miserable wretches that one so often
sees dragging poor dog to what is
called HE home. In fact, "Never make
q friend of man whose dog won't follow
him." Mr.. Summers little book is very
appropriately dedicated to "Bob's
friends, the authors friends and to all
lovers OF intelligent dogs"
