By E. de Pressensé, D. D. [A. D. F. Randolph & Co. $2.00.] While Protestantism seems to be dying away in Northern Germany, where the great majority of the people sympathize with its teachings, it continues to fight bravely, and with good results, in France, where its adherents are an insignificant minority. The present volume of the Rev. Mr. Pressensé, himself a leading Protestant, is of interest chiefly for the information it gives about the present condition of French Protestantism. In the long chapter on Adolphe Monod, the author describes the career and opinions of the most eminent of recent French clergymen; who was born in 1802, the son of the French pastor in Copenhagen by a Danish mother, and who studied theology at Geneva. Another long chapter in Mr. de Pressensé's volume is given to Alexandre Vinet, a clergyman who, on account of his literary writings, is not unknown to the general public. As illustrating the character of French Protestantism, his career is almost as worthy of study as is Monod's, and this part of Mr. de Pressense's book is, in our opinion, much the more important. While the author always writes correctly and clearly, there is an absence of life in his pages which de prives hem of much literary value, and when he gets off what is specially his ground, he seems to us, as in the chapter on the "Culturkampf," superficial and unfair. For general interest, the article on "Strauss and Voltaire" is the best the volume con tains. The Pastor. By Rt. Rev. G. T. Bedell. [J. B. Lippincott & Co., $2.00.] This is by far the best work on pastoral theology for ministers of the Episcopal Church, and in important respects the best for ministers of any church, with which we are acquainted. Much that is formal and technical in it limits its use, of course, to members of the particular communion to which its respected author belongs; but its large wisdom, its practical tone, and the fervent piety which vitalizes its pages adapt it to the wants of all who have the care of human souls. Bishop Bedell is known as a "Low Churchman," and his lowness and lowliness appear in his treatise in many ways. His spirit is uniformly admirable, and his views on preaching, on the pastoral care, and on all the details of the minister's life and service, are rendered weighty by the experiences of a long and highly honored career. No minister of any denomination can read this work without being instructed and stimulated in a marked degree. Sermons Parochial and Occasional, by J. B. Mozley, D.D. [E. P.

The work was first published some twenty years ago, though not without difficulty; but once published it has taken a place among the standard authorities which no scholar, especially of religious truth, can do without. Its bibliography, by Dr. Ezra Abbot, is one of the great performances in its peculiar line. Here are given the titles, often annotated, of about 5,000 books relating to the nature, origin, and destiny of the soul. To the original treatise the author has added six new chapters which discuss the subject in its most recent aspects. The work is one, we doubt not, which has been doing, and will continue to do, a silent but powerful service in modifying current opinions, and reducing much that is crude and exaggerated to a rational standard. than can be said of much that bears the name.

Mr. Charles Dickens, the son of his father, has supplemented his ingenious and useful Dictionary of London with an equally ingenious and usefamous stream from Oxford to the Nore with ful Dictionary of the Thames, following that great minuteness of description, and with all that freshness and novelty of method which entitles the work to call itself "an unconventional handbook." There are maps, and the little book altogether is one which no tourist in England can well afford to be without. [Macmillan & Co. 50 cents.] Volume II of The Bible Commentary is out, carrying this useful work into and through the fourth Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. A learned introduction to the first book is furnished by Canon Westcott, who also supplies the commentary and critical notes. The similar service for the second part is rendered by Canon Cook. It is a compact and useful work.
