    preceded by a ' text for life , * which is taken from the work ' Our Fathers have told us . ' We need not dwell upon the value of such a book as a

    treasury of high teaching . Apart from that , it is an introduction or index to the works from , which it is derived , which will have exceeding

    • value for those whose time for reading is limited , and "who would not ordinarily give attention to essays on art . We will quote one piece , for the

    beginning of a new year : — January 1 . of Let life every and dawn setting of morning sun be be to to you as as its the clos beginning e : then

    let every , one every of these short lives leave you its sure record (» f some kindly tiling done for others—some goodly strength 1870 or knowledge . gained for yourselves . —Lectures on Art ,

    To such beautiful passages , Professor Ruskin himself contributes an addition of extreme interest — — _ some __ _ verses _ of his — own which were inspired

    , j by mountain ecenery , and written when he was not quite nine jears old . The frontispiece is a new portrait . The volume is a small quarto ,

    printed in tint upon toned paper . Its binding is an elegantly gilt cloth , with bevelled boards and gilt edges .

    Series . ' The second French book now before us is a selection of interesting pieces in prose and verse , with a vocabulary at the foot of each pagr * .

    Well-engraved illustrations of familiar objects give an interesting appearance to the lessons . The method — is Pestalozzian — 7 and the aim is to

    convey a knowledge of French , without the interposition of the learner ' s own language . Messrs . A . S . Barnes & Co . ' s new aid in modern

    languages may be called a very attractive-looking school or home book . From the Cambridge Press . —' The Epistles of St .

    Dr . Plummer commences with a sketch of the local , moral , and intellectual surroundings of the

    Apostle at the time when he wrote these letters accepting the theory as to his residence at Ephestw during the closing years of his life as a practical

    certainty . He then deals with the question of the authenticity of the EpistLes and of the evidence in favour of their Johannine authorship ;

    their relation to the Gospel—under which he gives an interesting table of parallels between the Eistles and the Gospelsome interesting n ) tes

    on p the Greek text and Eng , lish versions , and some general literary Dotes . Then follow the notes and comments , and in the appendices we have several

    interesting papers on 'The Three Evil Tendencies in the World ; ' ' Antichrist ; ' 'The Sect of the Cainites ^ r ^ h . ^ r ^^ ^^ v ^^™ ^ w - ^^ ^ w ; m ' ' The ^^^ ^^^^^ - ^^ Thre ^^^— ™— - ^^ ^^™ ^^ - e ^^— ^ Heavenl ¦ - ^^ v — y m Witnesses - - - — - ~ — — , ' and
