upon him, in notes appended to each volume, first, to compare, in all doubtful cases, the facts on which Swedenborg based himself in his inductions with the facts admitted as true by the scientific world of the present day; secondly, to point out all those cases where Swedenborg's inductions are confirmed by modern researches; and thirdly, where the results of Swedenborg's inductions differ from those which have been adopted by modern scientific men, to make a critical examination as to which of the two is right. In order to contribute to the correctness and scientific precision of the present work, Dr. J. J. Garth Wilkinson. the learned translator and editor of a number of Swedenborg's philosophical works, has kindly consented to assist Dr. Tafel in seeing the work through the press. Subscribers' names to be forwarded to Boericke and Tafel, Grand Street, New York, or Trübner and Co., Ludgate Hill, London.

THE ANTIQUARY'S LIBRARY.-This is the title of a new series of works to be issued by Mr. Elliot Stock. They are to be got up in sumptuous form, and printed on hand-made paper, but a restricted number only will be issued by subscription. The first year's volumes will be Folk Lore Relics of Early Village Life, by G. L. Gomme; Caxton's Game and Play of the Chesse, edited by W. E. A. Axon;_Personal Ornaments and their Associations, by H. B. Wheatley. Thirteen other volumes on various Antiquarian subjects, by well-known writers, are announced as to follow these in course of time.

WALTHAM ABBEY.-A new work on the History and Architecture of Waltham Abbey, with 22 illustrations, folio size, is announced to be published by Mr. Elliot Stock, shortly.

MERCEDES DE RIOS (Richards, Great Queen-street) is a short and interesting collection of extracts from the diary of an old Crimean soldier. The author, Major Palma di Cesnola, who appears to be even more accomplished with his sword than with his pen, is the hero of the story. The heroine, a lady of surpassing beauty, and with "limbs," says the author, "which were models to Michael Angelo," survives a series of surpassing adventures only to fall a prey to fever, and the hero is left lamenting, to a "melancholy tomb and deplorable memories." The reader who, like Goldsmith's Citizen of the World, "loves a story and hates reasoning," will spend a satisfactory half-hour in considering this one.

THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT.-It is to the enterprise of an American publishing firm, Messrs. Porter & Coates, of Philadelphia, that we are indebted for the idea of a comparative edition of the New Testament, both versions in one book. It is a well-printed volume in long primer type, crown octavo size, the Authorized and Revised versions both being on one page in opposite columns; and Messrs. Porter & Coates announce that the proof readings have been gone over so carefully, and by so many competent proof readers, that they believe the text is absolutely correct. It is unfortunate that this edition cannot be sold in the United Kingdom on account of the copyright law; but we are glad to see that the Oxford and Cambridge University Presses have announced a similar edition that will show at a glance the alterations and emendations that have been made in the Revised version. It is well known that although American scholars were invited to co-operate in the production of a Revised version of the New Testament, many of their readings were rejected, although it is by no means certain that they were not improvements. These readings were printed at the end of the English edition. Dr. Roswell D. Hitchcock, President of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, has an edition of the New Testament in long primer type, published by Messrs. Fords, Howard, and Hulbert, New York, in which the rejected emendations of the American revisers have been embodied in the text. As the possession of a correct version of the New Testament by the present generation is of infinitely more consequence than any question of literary property, we think that if the English revisers are not prepared to issue such an edition, they ought to allow Dr. Hitchcock's edition to circulate here, as it gives all the results of the labour of the whole International Committee-both the English and the American branches.

ties, so that in the 659 pages contained in his dictionary the reader has actually at his command the contents of a library. The wide range of subjects touched upon and explained is a surprising one, for every city or battle-field mentioned in the histories of ancient and modern warfare is noted, and the date and result of the action given. Besides these, every military term obtaining in the American. French, English, Roman, Russian, Austrian, Prussian. Asiatic, and other services of the past and present is explained. Then, again, all the nations noted for their warlike nature in the history of the world, from the earliest ages down to the present, are graphically though briefly described. The famous treaties of history, and all heraldic terms, are also among the contents, while considerable space is naturally devoted to descriptions of the various military services of Europe. A very prominent and valuable feature is the statistical information about the different tribes of American Indians. also the geographical data in every country on the face of the globe and every State in the Union. This brief summary of the leading features will give the reader an idea of the wide scope and thorough ness of Captain Wilhelm's work. As a book of reference will prove of value, not only to the military student and soldier, but should find a place on the shelves of every pl and private library, for it contains much that will interes the general reader. It is only necessary to read the author's preface to convince one of his modesty, for, though he ha produced a book unequalled in its peculiar sphere, he disarms criticism by stating that in a volume containing 17,257 artice there must be some errors. After a careful examination the Dictionary we are constrained to confess that the err indeed, very few, and are lost sight of in the presence so much accurate and interesting information. The volume is handsomely printed in clear type, and the text is free from technical language wherever possible. The appendix is riched by some 600 engravings, which greatly add to the value of the work, while the binding is attractive and sub stantial. From the New York Herald of June 25th, 1881.

THE CONCORD SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHY.-The Coned Summer School of Philosophy, which has now become que an established institution of New England, was first opens 1879 by Mr. A. Bronson Alcott, and the sessions were held in his library at the "Orchard House"; but the me ings of the School are now held in the Hill-side Chapel, built amongst the pines near the "Orchard House." Mr. Alcott, in 1842, first formed the idea of establishing a School of Philosophy, and began collecting books to form the nuclea of a library for the same; but it was not until July 15, 157, that he was able to open the School, which has since been gradually growing in scope and aims until it has reached its present dimensions. Prof. W. T. Harris, of St. Louis, has removed his quarters to Concord, and the prospectus of the course for 1881, now before us, which closed on the 13th Philoso of August last, contains five lectures by him on phical Distinctions," and five on "Hegel's Philosophy."

A NURSING HANDBOOK. The Committee of the Con necticut State Hospital at New Haven, finding the want of a manual for their training school for nurses, determined to have one made which should be brief, simple, and exhaustive. The result is a handy volume of 266 pages which, we think, ought to meet the wants of all who wish to study nursing. It is intended for family and general use, and, as far as we ca see, contains just what is required and nothing superfluous.

PRIMITIVE AMERICAN INDUSTRY.-Dr. Charles C. Abboti has prepared an important work on Archæology, "Primitive Industry: or. Illustrations of the Handiwork in Stone, Bone, and Clay, of the Native Races of the Northern Atlantic Seaboard of America." This volume is the result of many years of constant labour, in collecting, and studying comparatively, the various forms of stone and bone implements made and used by the Atlantic Coast tribes of Indians once occupying that portion of the country between Maine to Maryland. The shell heaps of the coast, the pottery, and all other exist ing traces of these people, are fully treated of. It embodies also an exhaustive discussion of the geological age of the implement-bearing gravels of the Delaware River, in relation to the question of the Antiquity of Man in North America; the whole constituting a complete treatise on the subject as referring to this portion of the continent. Dr. Abbott has long held a position in the front rank of archeological investigators; his long experience as a collector, his years uninterrupted study. his untiring labours in this, his chosen field of investigation, to say nothing of the talent displayed in the numerous productions already before the public, all combine to make him preeminently fitted to assume the authorship of such a work. We feel confident that archæo

of

logists will appreciate the necessity for this contribution to her science. It will be the standard work on the subject, and will, we trust, find its way into every public library. The book contains 550 pages, and over 400 illustrations, royal octaro It is published by Mr. S. E. Cassino of Boston, and Messrs Trübner & Co. are the London agents.

LITERARY STYLE.-This is the title of a volume of Essays William Mathews, LL.D., author of "Getting on in the World." The Great Conversers," etc., etc. It contains ays on the following subjects: Literary Style-The Duty of Praise Periodical Literature The Blues and their Remedy-The Modesty of Genius -Sensitiveness to Criticism -The Ideal and the Real - Fat vs. Lean-Memory and its Marvels-Fools-Angling-Intellectual Playfulness-A Plea for the Erring-The Secret of Longevity-The Season of Travel-Hot-House Education-Originality-The Art of Listening-Who are Gentlemen ?-Office Seeking-Ameri3818m3. This list attests its attractive variety, and to comsend it to the reading public is enough to say that in thoughtalness, grace, and all the elements that go to make a Loroughly fascinating book, it is not surpassed by any of its redecessors. More than a hundred thousand volumes of rof. Mathews' previous works have been sold, and this fact, oupled with the steadily continuing demand for them, conrs the judgment of the critics of the Press that he is the Prince of American essayists." Messrs. S. C. Griggs & , Chicago, are the publishers, and Trübner & Co. are the London agents.

NUMISMATICAL DIRECTORY.-Mr. R. W. Mercer, of Cininnati, desires to call the attention of Numismatical Societies and bonafide Collectors of United States and foreign coins, medals, tokens, badges, metal cards, etc.; also colonial coins, Continental, colonial, and confederate paper money, bonds, etc., to the new Edition (1882) of his Numismatical Directory, published annually. He wishes the names and addresses of all Bumismatists, numismatical societies and authors, at home or abroad, and he will publish the same in his Directory free of sharge. Much other valuable information to dealers and collectors will be given, such as the mints of the world, a price current of all American gold, silver, copper, tin, nickle, and bronze coins; also rare metal cards, mint marks, etc., making the work indispensable and of general information to all. To fully accomplish this end, and for that purpose, he will be thankful for literary contributions from any of the fraternity, that the manual may be made as complete as possible.

PHONETIC TYPE AS AN AGENT IN EDUCATION.-Mr. C. W. Knudsen, of South Norwalk, Conn., has published a plea for the "English Demotic Alphabet," printed in pronouncing orthography, and also " Esop's Fables," together with some in words of one syllable, by Mary Godolphin, also printed in pronouncing orthography. It is stated that a child can be taught to read English well in three months by using the Demotic Alphabet as an introduction to the ordinary type, whilst by studying the ordinary alphabet direct it usually takes three years to arrive at the same proficiency. From Messrs. Ginn and Heath we get Prof. F. A. March's A. B. C. Book printed in the types used in the more advanced Readers of Dr. Leigh and Prof. Vickroy. These types are certainly easily read by those not accustomed to their form, and if they assist the young in learning to read we should think they have established their claim for general adoption in elementary works.

A POLITICAL CYCLOPÆDIA-Messrs. Rand McNally & Co. of Chicago have in the press a Cyclopedia of Political Science, edited by Mr. Jno. J. Lalor, the well-known political economist. It will supply a want which Charles Knight supplied to a certain extent in his time, by his Political Cyclopædia, which work is however old and out of date, even if it is still to be had. The Encyclopædia which Mr. Lalor is about to edit will be a more extensive one than the late Charles Knight's, and will be in political science what the Encyclopædia Britannica is in general science, each article being elaborately treated and signed by the author of it.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. - UNITED STATES.British farmers would be thankful for the government assistance given to farmers in the United States, where a Commissioner collects useful information and makes expensive chemical experiments, in their behalf. The Hon. W. G. Le Duc, the Commissioner, in his report for 1879, gives the average yield per acre of four kinds of sugar cane, all grown on the same land, so that the planter or farmer can easily estimate which sort it would pay him best to cultivate. There is besides the report of the Entomologist, illustrated with coloured plates, the report of the Botanist on grasses, a

coloured plates, experiments with seeds, and a treatise on the fibres in the collection of the Department of Agriculture. The whole forming a valuable annual manual, saving the farmers time and money. The Commissioner also issues special reports from time to time, such as "Insects injurious to the Sugar Cane,' "On the Condition of Crops and Live Stock," Contagious Pleuro-Pneumonia," etc., etc. We understand that efforts will be made shortly to still further improve the efficiency of this department.

THE AMERICAN WINE AND GRAPE GROWER.-This is the title of a New York Monthly Periodical, which commenced publishing in January this year. It is devoted to Viniculture, Pomology, and the kindred industries. It appears to be a representative periodical of an industry which is destined to be a most important one in the United States. It is only a question of time for the New World to surpass the Old in its wines as in many other productions.

THE HARVARD REGISTER.-This periodical came to an end with a quadruple number, viz. April, May, June, and July, 1881, being Numbers 4, 5, 6, and 7 of Volume III. It is impossible to give an accurate idea of the contents of this number, which is more like a book than a magazine. It contains ten portraits, besides many other engravings of interest, the old college pump not being forgotten, Mr. W. R. Thayer contributing a few verses under the engraving. The price at which Mr. Moses King, the publisher, of Cambridge, Mass., offers this number (fifty cents) is merely a nominal one, considering it contains 268 pages. Amongst the portraits will be found those of the following, with biographical sketches:--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale, Professor Francis Bowen, Rev. Dr. Edward A. Washburn, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Robert Todd Lincoln; also historical and descriptive sketches, accompanied by views of Massachusetts Hall; Dane Hall.-the Law School; Phillips Andover Academy; "Elmwood,"-the home of Lowell; the Old Burial Ground between the First Parish and Christ Churches; and Matthews Hall; and, besides a large variety of University news, and graduate items, an exceptionally good collection of articles.

CATALOGUE OF THE SURGEON-GENERAL'S LIBRARY.-"The Index Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office, United States Army: Authors and Subjects, Vol. II., BERLIOZ-CHOLAS," has reached us. It includes 12,459 author-titles, representing 4,934 volumes and 9,810 pamphlets. It also includes 11.550 subject-titles of separately books and pamphlets, and 37,310 titles of articles in periodicals. We believe this is the first time authors and subjects have been arranged in one alphabet in any library catalogue, and it must have been an herculean labour.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS. -The Annual Report of Brig.-General H. G. Wright, Chief of Engineers, for 1880, in three parts, has reached us. This valuable report points out, like the 1879 one, that the coasts of the United States are miserably provided with defences in these days of heavily armoured "Ironclads." There is one thing to be said, that no country would be likely to provoke a war with the United States, so that to a great extent she is mistress of her own destiny as regards peace or war.

UTICA LUNATIC ASYLUM.-We have received the thirtyeighth annual report of the Managers of the New York State Lunatic Asylum for last year. Dr. John P. Gray, the superintendent, gives a very interesting paper on "The Custody and Treatment of the Insane." Dr. Gray says, "The first English statute placing lunatics and their property under the care of the State was enacted in the year 1272 in the reign of Edward the First."

BEAUTIFUL LETTERS.-Under this title Messrs. N. P. Fletcher & Co.. of Hartford, Conn., have published a book of Alphabets, Initials, Monograms, and Ornaments, illuminated and in colours; it is tastefully got up, and is the best book of the kind we have seen at the price. See TRÜBNER'S RECORD, Nos. 161-2.

LIBRARY MATTERS.-We have received the Bulletin of the Library Company of Philadelphia for July, 1881, giving the rules and the additions made to the Library since January, 1881. Of the Bulletin of the Boston Public Library, April and July are now before us; the April contains bibliographical articles on Russia and Nihilism, Thos. Carlyle, William Blake, and the Theatre of the Greeks. It also contains an extract from the Will of the late Lydia D. Parker, widow of Theodore Parker, bequeathing her books and the marble bust of her husband, by Story, together with the crayon portraits by Cheney, of her husband and herself. The Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Trustees of the

66

of volumes in the main building and branches now amount to 391,338, but the use of books for the year shows a decrease of 91,640 volumes.-The Report of the Peabody Institute, Baltimore, for 1880, shows that the Library on the 1st of June contained 71.719 volumes, of which 2.325 were added during the year. There was a decline in the use of books to the number of volumes compared with the previous year of 8,682.-The Harvard University Bulletin, Nos. 18 and 19, in continuation of the Library Bulletin, and taking the place of the Harvard Register, contain the completion of Mr. Justin Winsor's Halliwelliana, and ELR to LOR of Scudder's Bibliography of Fossil Insects. The "University Notes" at the end, the matter of which is to fill the place of the late Harvard Register," contain much that is of interest. In No. 18 will be found an abstract of Professor Lanman's Lectures on the Vedas. In connexion with the Harvard University Bulletin, Mr. Justin Winsor is issuing a series of "Bibliographical Contributions," No. 10 of which contains the valuable "Halliwelliana" now completed, and which has been running through the pages of the Bulletin for some time past. No. 12 is a list of the publications of Harvard University and its Officers, 1870 to 1880.-All the reports of the American Libraries show a falling off in the circulation of books. The New York Nation explains this by the theory that business was so brisk that people had not time to read, and in addition to this, they were diverted by the Presidential Election and the literature connected with it. It is not likely that Americans are becoming less addicted to reading than they have been formerly; and without further evidence, we must take it for granted that exceptional causes were at work to produce this result.

FISHERIES-Dominion of Canada.-We have received the Annual Report of W. F. Whitcher, Esq., Commissioner of Fisheries for the Dominion of Canada, for 1878 and 1879, giving the statistics of fish-breeding by artificial means, the condition of the fisheries, and state of the rivers, the fishery laws and the means taken for their due observance. We are glad to see by these Reports that the Canadian fisheries are increasing in value. In 1877 they had reached 12,029,957 dollars; in 1878, 13,215,678 dollars, besides the catch in Manitoba, which was estimated at 40,000 dollars, and in 1879 13,529,254.91 dollars. The value of fish exported in 1878-9 was 7,072,203 against 6,929,366 dollars in 1877-8. For the

half-year ending December 31, 1879, it amounted to 4,197,322 against 4,846,566 dollars during the same period of 1878. From Supplement No. 2 of the Eleventh Annual Report to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, for the year 1880, we find that the total expenditure of the Dominion of Canada on Fish-culture for the year ending June 30th amounted to 29,109.61 dollars, and the number of young fish distributed was 21,520,600.

COFFEA LIBERICA.-Messrs. S. W. Silver & Co., of Cornhill, have issued a valuable little treatise by Dr. H. A. Alford i Nicholls, on the Cultivation of Liberian Coffee in the West Indies. It appears that the Coffea liberica, unlike its Arabian relative, is not subject to blights and insects, and can be cultivated in much lower elevations; it is a larger and stronger shrub, and the berries are finer. As regards flavor we presume the Arabian must yield the palm in that particular, if we may judge by the price fetched in the New York markets by Liberian, which is twelve shillings per hundred weight more than Arabian grown in Ceylon.

VICTORIA MINES.-The Reports of the Mining Survey and Registrars for the quar er ended March 31st, 1881, the total quantities of gold got respectively from alluvia The Mine and quartz reefs to be 193,345 oz. 6 dwt. Statistics of Victoria for the year 1880 show a marid increase in the yield of gold compared to that of the preced ing year, various new areas in volcanic country having been opened up.

Dowson.-Professor John Dowson, whose death we regret to say took place on August 23rd, was born at Uxbridge in 1820, and received an ordinary school education. At the age of sixteen he went to London as an assistant to his uncle Mr. Edwin Norris at the Royal Asiatic Society, who, noticing his aptitude for acquiring languages, persuaded him to study those of the East, which he did for some years, and afterwards taught them to private pupils and at Haileybury College. In 1855 he was appointed Professor at University College, London, being at the same time Assistant Secretary to the Royal Asiatic Society. In 1855 he became Professor of Hindustani to the Staff College, Sandhurst, which opened in that year; this appointment he held until 1877. Prof. Dowson has given to the world the following valuable results of his literary labours. A translation of the "Ikhwanu-s-Safa." 1869, the Arabic Philosophical Cyclopædia of the "Brotherhood of Purity." "A Grammar of the Urdu or Hindustani Language," 1872. "The History of India as told by its own Historians," edited by him, from the papers of the late Sir H. M. Elliot, K.C.B., in eight volumes, shows a vast amount of labour and research, and is the only reliable one of India during the Mohamedan period. In 1879 Messrs. Trübner & Co., the publishers of the above three works, issued in their "Oriental Series" his "Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology and Religion, Geography and Literature," a work intended to cover the same ground in Oriental matters as Smith's Classical Dictionary does in Greek and Roman. Professor Dowson was also a contributor to the "Encyclopædia Britannica," the "Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society," and the "Saturday Review." He will long be remembered by many for his amiability and his readiness to assist others who were studying subjects which he had made his speciality; without expectation of reward, he followed Oriental studies more for the intrinsic love of them than for gain or profit.

JONES.-Mr. Winter Jones, the late Chief Librarian of the British Museum, died on Sept. 7th at his residence, Henleyon-Thames, aged 76.

HARPER.-The New York publishing trade has sustained another loss through the death of Mr. Fletcher Urba Harper, a son of Mr. Joseph W. Harper, and a member the firm of Harper and Bros, since 1870. He died in New York on October the 5th last.

HAVEN.-At Salem, Oregon, recently died Bishop Erasta Otis Haven, D.D., LL.D., of the Methodist Episcopal Church He was born at Boston, Nov. 1st, 1820, and for some yea edited Zion's Herald," the oldest Methodist paper in t world. His works were―" The Young Man Advised," Pillars of Truth," "Rhetoric," "Mental Philosophy,” and "Moral Philosophy."

HOLLAND.-Dr. J. G. Holland, editor of "Scribner's Monthly," now called "The Century Magazine," died Oct. 12th, aged 62 years. He was born at Belchertor Mass., on July 24th, 1819. He practised medicine for a short time before he commenced as a journalist. In May, 1849. he became associate editor of the Springfield "Republican, which position he held until 1866. In 1870 he became editor of Scribner's Monthly." He published many of his works His princi under the nom de plume of "Timothy Titcomb," pal ones were-"History of Western Mass.," 1855; Path," a novel, 1857; " Timothy Titcomb's Letter to the Young." 1858; •Bitter Sweet," a dramatic poem, 1858: "Gold Foil," 1859; Miss Gilbert's Career," 1860; "Letters to the Jones's." 1863; "Lessons in Life." 1861; "Plain Talk on Familiar Subjects," 1865; "Life of President Lincoln," 1866; and Katarina," a poem, 1867.

Bar

LANIER.—Mr. Sidney Lanier died at Lynn, North Caro lina, on the 8th of September. Being a Georgian by birth his sympathies naturally ranged him on the Confederate side during the Civil War. Although principally known as a contributor to periodical literature, he was a poet of n mean merit, and much that he wrote will live after him. Amongst the volumes he published may be mentioned his "Guide to Florida," The Science of English Verse." "The Boys' Froissart," "The Boys' King Arthur," and "The Boy's Mabinogion."
