Mazzini or Theodore Parker) that the doctrin of Theism must not be treated as co-ordinate with that of Human Immortality. The two doctrins with me lie on quite different planes. I hav always held with Paley and with Archbishop Whately,-(perhaps with nineteen clergymen out of twenty)--that on the existence of an Overruling God all mankind ar right in dogmatizing; but that no one can fitly dogmatize concerning "human life after "death," who does not trace the doctrin through some transcendental channel to some source of knowledge not human. From another quarter I am asked, whether I really disbelieve in a Spirit World. I might hav replied simply,--“ Until I hav evidence to the contrary, I believe "that only the Divine Spirit is without local attachment "to Matter, being hereby unlimited in Space; and the "whole Spirit World known to me consists of embodied "Spirits and that unique Spirit." But my interrogator turns sharp aside by explaining that he means "a World "full of Spiritual Substance," giving me as illustration, that "Love is a Spiritual substance." I hav now only to reply, that I fear all discussion between him and me must be futil. "Love" in my judgment is an emotion To suppose it diffused outside (if that is meant) I regard as rank absurdity: to call it a Substance is to me a gross and delusive abuse of language. of or in a spirit.

The Bibliography of Swinburne; A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL LIST, ARRANGED IN CHRONOLOGIGAL ORDER, OF THE PUBLISHED WRITINGS IN VERSE AND PROSE OF ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE (1857-1884). This Bibliography commences with the brief-lived College Magazine, to which Mr. SWINBURNE was one of the chief contributors when an undergraduate at Oxford in 1857-8. Besides a careful enumeration and description of the first editions of all his separately published volumes and pamphlets in verse and prose, the original appearance is duly noted of every poem, prose article, or letter, contributed to any journal or magazine (e.g., Once a Week, The Spectator, The Cornhill Magazine, The Morning Star, The Fortnightly Review, The Examiner, The Dark Blue, The Academy, The Athenæum, The Tatler, Belgravia, The Gentleman's Magazine, La République des Lettres, Le Rappel, The Glasgow University Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, &c., &c.), whether collected or uncollected. Among other entries will be found a remarkable novel, published in instalments, and never issued in a separate form, and several productions in verse not generally known to be from Mr. SWINBURNE's pen. The whole forms a copious and it is believed approximately complete record of a remarkable and brilliant literary career, extending already over a quarter of a century. ONLY 250 COPIES PRINTED. GEORGE REDWAY, YORK STREET, COVENT GARDEN. Printed on hand-made paper, and bound in vellum. The Edition is limited to five hundred and fifty copies, fifty of which are on large paper. "Enthusiastic admirers of Dickens are greatly beholden to Mr. C. P. Johnson for his useful and interesting Hints to Collectors of Original Editions of the Works of Charles Dickens' (Redway). The book is a companion to the similar guide to collectors of Thackeray's first editions, is compiled with the like care, and produced with the like finish and taste."The Saturday Review. "This is a sister volume to the Hints to Collectors of First Editions of Thackeray,' which we noticed a month or two ago. The works of Dickens, with a few notable Dickensiana,' make up fifty-eight numbers. . . . and Mr. Johnson has further augmented the present volume with a list of thirtysix plays founded on Dickens's works, and another list of twenty-three published portraits of Dickens. As we are unable to detect any slips in his work, we must content ourselves with thanking him for the correctness of his annotations. It is unnecessary to repeat our praise of the elegant format of these books. "-The Academy. "These two elegantly-produced little books, printed on hand-made paper and bound in vellum, should be welcomed by the intending collector of the works of the two authors under treatment, and the more experienced bibliographer will find the verbatim reproductions of the original title-pages not without use. . . . . For the purpose of checking the correct numbers of these illustrations, verifying the collations, and detecting possible frauds. Mr. Johnson's books are unique. The 'Hints,' moreover, incorporated in his prefaces. ... and the 'Notes' appended to each entry are serviceable, and often shrewd; indeed, the whole labour, evidently one of love, bestowed upon the books is exceptionally accurate and commendable, and we hope to welcome Mr. Johnson at`no distant date as a bibliographer of a more pretentious subject.""-Time.
