    , M . De Fleury ' s * Loves of the Learned ' might have been entitled . ' Curiosities of Medical Experience . ' * We find in it glimpses of the

    medical men who are to be foiirtd at watering-, . places ; of the ^ smartphysicianfrom the capital ,

    who does things handsomely during the season , and of the modest local practitioner , who plods

    on the year round in his unobtrusive way . Another chapter depicts the life and amusements of students who are under the house-surgeon in

    a hospital . Another gives an idea of the . recreations of a pupil in an apothecary ' s shop , of his scientific experiments on odours to pass the

    time . And another tells how a man of science , accidentally precipi tated into the Seine at night , is more occupied with the resemblance to mercury

    of the water about him than in seeking how to get out of it . The author has lived in the world of science which he describes .

    From the Clarendon Press . —* The Marquess India Cornwallis * series , ' ) b . y W Mr . . S Seton . Seton -Karr -Karr is ( well ' Rulers quali of

    fied to write about Cornwallis ; and in the book before us , he has produced a readable and valuable biography . Its literary merit , indeedis

    not equal to that of some of the preceding , volumes in the same series ; but if it is not precisely brilliantit is judiciousclearand

    compact A . v , and succeeds ' , in giving , a very , fair presentation of Cornwallis , both as a public functionary and a private individual . The parts

    relating to India show , as might be expected , accuracy and care , and as these make up the major part of the volume ; the biography may

    C 7 M . * 9 ? be relied v MT on as setting forth in the briefest space all that is authoritatively known concerning Cornwallis .

    From Messrs . James Clarke & Co . — ' What of Samuel ? ' by James Morris Whiton , Ph . D . This little bookby the minister of Trinity

    Congreational Church , New Yorkis intended as an aid g in the study , of sacred , history , and especially to help readers to a clearer discernment

    of a point of supreme importance to faith in a Divine Kevelation in the Old Testament , namely •/ , * That the demonstration of a Divine

    Light in the early records of the development of a spiritual life does not depend on one's maintaining that there were no errors in the

    utterances of the early pupils of the Spirit , ' but appears rather in the evident fact of a progressive ' clearing away of their illusions and

    superstitions by the increasing power of the Light . ' It is written with simplicity , earnestness , and knowledge , and is , we think , well calculated

    to accomplish the purpose for which it was written . From the same . — Why I left Congregationalism '

    by George Sale Reaney . Some time ago Mr , . lleaney left Congregationalism and took orders in the Church of England , and the present work

    sets forth his reasons for so doing . In his young days one of his teachers wrote regarding Mr . Reaney that * his hermeneutics are vicious in

    the extreme . ' Those who are curious to know what his hermeneutics are now had better read his book .

    From the same . * A Man ' s Mistake / by Minnie Worboise . Hyacinth Dell is poor and supposed to be an orphan . Her fatherwho was

    a spendthrift , was thought to have , perished at to live sea , with and her Hyac aunts inth in Mrs consequ . Kezie e Pope nce g and oes
