Prayers of the Ages. Compiled by Caroline S. Whitmarsh. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. pp. 335. (Gathered from very various sources, some of them rare and curious, and giving sufficient examples of pagan and Oriental piety. The deficiencies appear to be of special prayers from such sources as the Jewish liturgy, and of a larger variety from the older English, like the very interesting examples on pages 144 and 147; while too much space is taken up with long and formal prayers, some quite conventional and commonplace, of recent composition. Still, in its breadth of devotional sympathy, and its absolute freedom from the limits of any religious creed, it is unique among similar collections; and in typography and arrangement extremely neat.) - The Theology of the Greek Poets. By W. S. Tyler, Williston Professor of Greek in Amherst College. Boston: Draper & Halliday. pp. 365. (The most interesting part of this volume, to the general reader, is the outline which it gives of the dramatic story of Eschylus and Sophocles, so strikingly illustrative of the subject it treats. The scholar will be disappointed at finding one-third of the volume taken up with irrelevant, however interesting, discussions, - one, a purely theological essay, "The Head of the Church Head over all Things;" and the other, a re-arguing of the "Homeric Question" on the familiar ground taken by Colonel Mure. The parallelism between the religious ideas of the elder Greek poets and those of the Hebrew Scriptures is a little tedious; but has its value to the scientific student of opinion, as well as to those who, like the author, seek in it a support to their own doctrinal system.)

This is a question which the great American public has a right to ask, and it has also a right to expect a candid, straightforward, and satisfactory reply. The answer shall be given fairly and squarely, from the personal testimony of thousands who have used the Preparation during the last thirty years. These competent witnesses declare, over their own signatures, that the Preparation will Promptly relieve indigestion, Allay the symptoms of fever, Keep the brain cool and clear, and correct promptly, and without necessitating any interruption of the ordinary avocations of life, all those minor complaints of the body which, when neglected, too often lead to chronic disorders of a fatal character. Those who have tested the Preparation in their own cases, or in the cases of their friends, are, of course, the best judges of its merits; and the above summary is simply a condensation of a portion of their testimony, covering a period of about thirty years.
