    CAPITAL. AND POPULATION : A Study of the Economic Effects of their Relations to Each Other. By Frederick B. Hawley. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. It would be false modesty in me to seem unaware that the economic law I have attempted to establish equals in its influence upon economic conclusions any hitherto ascertained. Granted its truth, it throws new and decisive light on nearly all the unsolved problems of the science. —Extract from Preface. SHAKESPEARE FROM AN AMERICAN POINT OF VIEW; in- cluding an Inquiry as to his Religious Faith and to his Knowl- edge of Law; with the Baconian Theoi-y considered. By George Wilkes. Third edition, revised and corrected by the author. 8vo. Cloth. $3.50. THE RHYMESTER; or, The Rules of Rhyme. A Guide to English Versification. With a Dictionary of Rhymes, an Examination of Classical Measures, and Comments upon Burlesque. Comic Verse, and Song-Writing. By the late Tom Hood. Edited, with Additions, by Arthur Penn. 18mo, cloth, gilt or red edges. Uniform with The Orthoepist and The Verbalist. $1.00. Three whole chapters have been added to this work by the American editor— one on the sonnet, one on the rondeau and the ballade, and a third on other fixed forms of verse ; while he has dealt freely with the English author's text, making occasional alterations, frequent insertions, and revising the dictionary of rhymes. STUDIES IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST. By the Eev. A. M. Faiebairn, D.D., Principal of Airedale College, Bradford, and author of' Stndies in the Philosophy of Religion and History. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. Contents : The Historical Conditions—The Narratives of the Birth and In- fancy—The Growth and Education of Jesus ; His Personality—The Baptist and the Christ—The Temptation of Christ—The New Teacher; the Kingdom of Heaven—Galilee, Judea, Samaria—The Master and the Disciples—The Earlier Miracles—Jesus and the Jews—The Later Teaching—The Later Miracles—Jericho and Jerusalem—Gethsemane—The Betrayer—The Chief Priests—The Trial—The Crucifixion—The Resurrection. These ' Studies in the Life of Christ' are not exhaustive and critical discus- sions on the Gospel History, but are simply attempts at orientation—at reaching points of view from which the life of Christ may be understood and construed. . . . The author sends the volume forth in the hope that it may help to make the Person it seeks to interpret more real, living, and lovable, to the men of to-day. —From Preface. Professor Fairbairn's thoughtful and brilliant sketches. Dr. Fairbairn's is not the base rhetoric often employed to hide want of thought or poverty of thought, but the noble rhetoric which is alive with thought and imagination to its utmost and finest extremities.—Rev. Samxiee Cox, in the Expositor. We can scarcely describe the depth and truthfulness and power of his teach- ing as given here. From the beginning to the end, with not more than two or three exceptions, what the author says is more than satisfactory. The volume is one more suited for study than for mere reading; and yet, as regards the matter of style, it is fully equal to Canon Farrar's popular delineation, while, as regards wisdom, it is vastly superior to it.— The Churchman. These ' studies ' are admirable. They are evangelical and modern, and in thought and style of expression are strong, clear, and fresh. They do not ignore the objections and arguments of skeptics, but clearly Christ is to the author more than a mere mental abstraction.—ihe United Presbyterian.
