EPISCOPAL GROWTH.

Yesterday with the Fathers. BY William
Wilberforce Newton, II. ID. The Coch-
rane Publishing Company. New York.
The fathers meant in this work are
the founders and great laborers IN
building up the Protestant Episcopal
church in New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and New England. The
period covered is the forty years i'm.
mediately preceding 1880. 1t does full
Justice to all the great names that
make the brilliant array Of the Epis-
copal divines in that period. But the
author by no means eXalts these great
characters on pedestals and stands afar
off worsbiping them: he brings them
right down TO the level Of humanity,
and shows them in their friendly and
neighborly relations with those about
them. The author, however, is not
free from a certain ingratitude, such
as is displayed towards the one-armed
Westerner who did his best to help him
In his affliction. And he is little in
tolerant IN number of places. But
tine story is devotedly told. and the
author has doubtless used his utmost
powers in telling 1T.

COMMANDMENTS SPIRITUALIZED

This book undertakes TO spiritualize
the Ten Commandments. 1t is written
in a deeply reverent spirit, and under"
takes TO add from modern experience
and modern philosophy certain suppos-
edly correlated maxims to the command

thou shall have no other gods before

rectlv.' To the eighth commandment
"Thou shalt not steal 1T adds - Thou

1T adds "Thou shalt sanctify thy ex-
periences. To the sixth commandment,
"Thou shalt do no murder 1t adds
"Thou shalt save life which may be
desirable, but is certainly not an ever
present restraint or compulsion ms the
commandment itself is. The attempt at
spiritualizing the commandments IS not,
in fact. marked success; and while

courapement from the book, we doubt
If the average man or woman could

IDEALISTIC NATURALISM.

What Nature Is: an Outline OF Scientific
Naturalism. BY Charles Kendall Frank
lin. Published by Sherman. French &
Company, Boston.
The author Of this work undertakes
to put man in accord with the great
universe of nature, and to trace
through him the secrets Of nature and
the laws governing them, As the au.
thor says (page 26); "The ultimate
nature of matter cannot be understood
by search after it's ultimate particle,
but by a study of its highest form,
that is, ourselves And further
(page 2S): "When we get through
with the analysis of the ineffective
and motive side of our nature, we find
that we are the highest developed form
of the radiant and gravitant energies
of Nature 1t pronounces as false
the idealistic philosophy, and presents
Naturalism as the conquerlng pbiloso-
ply for mankind. IT is evident, how.
ever. that the book while exploiting
uaturalism is in fact speculative: that
the author 8 mind works in the alb
stract, and that he is not follower
Of any positive, actual scientific
method. While he decries idealsm, his
system is itself highly idealistic. It is
based on speculation or idealism, and
not upon scientific inquiry or proof
nor does he at any time bring scjen-
tific proof to the test of his own phi
losophy. 1t is Il book entertaining to
read and in way philosophical. but
by no means scientific.

A FATAL FRIENDSHIP.

Berenice By +. Phillips Oppenhem.
With Illustrations by Howard Chandler
ChTsty and Howard Somervlle Pub
lished by Little. Brown, and Company,
Boston.
The idea of this book is that man
of letters and learning went as a sort
OF substitute critic TO see a play which
was much talked Of, being persuaded
thereto by friend, who was n great
admirer of the actress. Berenice. The
critic. Matravers, was not satisfied
with the play. but appears to have been
very we'll satisfied with the actress,
whom he met after the play was over,
Their intimacy ripeped ver-- fast. and
Matravers brought forth play that ne
had written in his younger days, which
took the town of London by storm.
His relations with Berenice. whom he
insisted upon having for leading lady,
became love very speedily: and when he
found that she was already married, It
was shock but did not break their
friendship. Curiously, then, Matravers
was thrown into relations with the hus-
band through the son, and the madness
of Matravers precipitated the end,
which was n tragedy. The story is
vividly told, with an expertness and
skill which naturally belong with Op-
penheim s narratives.

A SOUTHERN CHARACTER.

Colonel Todhunter of Missouri. BY Rip
ley ID. Saunders With Illustrs tions
by w. B. King. The Bohbs Merrill
Company, Publishers. Indianapolis.
This Is a catchy book, in which a
fine old sport is the leading character.
His basic idea is very well expressed
in this quotation: 81 II be eternally
condemned, sub. if ] care the snap Of
a whip for winnin that wasn't the
result of the hottest fight we knew how
to put up. sub. y The Colonel is
shrewd. tolerant, generous, and true
hearted; he has vernacular of his
OWE. in which he expresses his thoughts
pithily and in most entertaining man
ner. The appeal of the story lies in its
delightful character drawing. particu-
larly of the colonel; in its picturesque
local color. which has also the charm
of novelty, since Missouri is less ex-
plotted in fiction perhaps than any 9th
er of the southern States; in its racy
dialogue. its pervasive humor, and,
above all. in its humanness. The col
onel's wit. philosophy and shrcwdness
are always adequate, and his whole
hearted affection. his courage. his 10y
atty. his genuineness are irresistible 1t
is a right well written, entertaining
book. the author being southern born
and fully appreciative of the southern
character. and of southern loves and
hates.
