HURD & HOUGHTON announce "The Character of Christ: Does it Supply an Adequate Basis for a Religion?" reprinted from The Contemporary Review, of London. It is likely to make a stir in the theological world on account of the boldness of its departure from the popular mode of apology for Christianity. The writer is a manly thinker, and shows a firmness in the position which he takes that argues well for his deep conviction of the truth which he supports. The same firm announce for the American Tract Society "The Metaphors of St. Paul," and "The Companions of St. Paul," two volumes in one, by Dean Howson, well-known

for his share in Conybeare and Howson's great work on St. Paul. Dean Howson is on his way to this country.

THE COMING NOVELIST. -Grif and Joshua Marvel, two novels, by B. L. Farjeon, were pub lished in England last year, and have received unusual notice and praise from the British press. Some critics find in Mr. Farjeon certain of Marryat's best traits, others find the genuine Dickens' touch and tenderness, especially in his treatment of the poor and wretched, all find him original, thoughtful, and altogether readable.

NOTES ON BOOKS AND AUTHORS,

WILLIAM BLACK.

From the N. Y. Citizen.

[ocr errors]

THE "Monarch of Mincing Lane was by all odds the best novel of the year, whether in respect of plot or character, Mr. Black-whose former novels, clever as they were, did not rise much above the level of the novels of Mrs. Edwards or of certain other of the second-rate novelists of the day-surprised his readers by the unex pected and remarkable excellence of that work. In the "Daughter of Heth," his latest effort, we recognize the same original conception and sharp drawing of character, and the same severe simplicity of narrative associated with genuine and powerful pathos. Mr. Black is an exceedingly skilful narrator, and a thorough artist in the construction of his stories. More than this, he is a creator, and he has given us, both in the present work and in its immediate predecessor, characters that are as fresh and original as they are lifelike and forcible in drawing and coloring.

The scene of the story is laid in a small Scottish parish, which is pictured with the fidelity and with more than the picturesque variety of George McDonald. Into the stern, gloomy household of the Presbyterian minister comes a bright young niece, half French by birth, and wholly French in character and education. The minister's oldest son, a noisy, riotous youth, falls in love with his pretty cousin, as does also the Earl of Earlshope, a young English nobleman whose country seat is in the neighborhood. The girl loves the latter, but the sudden appearance of an unexpected wife puts an end to their romance. young Scotchman chiefly out of a tender pity for him, and dies of a broken heart.

Atlantic Essays (Osgood) is the title of a duodecimo volume containing twelve essays, contributed during the past thirteen years to the Atlantic Monthly, by Thomas Wentworth HigginThe titles of the essays in the order they appear in the volume are as follows: "A Plea for Culture," "Literature as an Art," "Americanism in Literature," "A Letter to a Young Contributor," "Ought Women to Learn the Alphabet?" "A Charge with Prince Rupert," "Mademoi"The Puritan Minister," selle's Campaigns,”

Fayal and the Portuguese," "The Greek Goddesses," "Sappho," and "On an Old Latin Text-Book." The essays, says the College Courant, are so entirely free from the cant and claptrap which characterize many of the popular productions of the present day, that it is really a pleasure to read them. The pleasure is not lessened when we come to discover that they have been written in the interests of culture and composi tion, and are beautiful specimens of what may be accomplished by the proper use of a language enriched by valuable accessions from all the other known languages of the world.

This story has not the freshness of plot, nor the variety of incident and character, that belonged to the "Monarch of Mincing Lane." It is, however, charmingly told, and can almost be said to be unmarred by a single fault. Its chief merit, however, lies in the delineation of Coquette, the young French girl. Her character is new to fiction, and portrayed with the touch of a consummate artist. In no novel of the day have we found a character drawn, with more genuine, though unobtrusive, power. The reader declines Castilian Days (Osgood). The few papers to regard her as a mere creation of the fancy, so about life and affairs in Spain, recently contributed lifelike is her portrait. There is nothing too by Mr. John Hay to the "Atlantic Monthly," highly colored or out of drawing in this admirable have, we think, won for him more valuable, if not portrait; and the reader can easily understand the more acceptable, praises than his ventures in poetry eagerness with which the two young men of the of whatever sort. These papers, with several others story strive to possess themselves of this delicate not heretofore published, have been gathered into and exquisite flower.
