THE

LIGHT OF ASIA;

OR, THE GREAT RENUNCIATION.

Being the Life and Teaching of Gautama, Prince of India and Founder of Buddhism,
TOLD IN VERSE BY AN INDIAN BUDDHIST.

By EDWIN ARNOLD, C.S.I., Author of "The Indian Song of Songs." LIBRARY EDITION, Cr. 8vo. cloth, price 75. 6d., and paper cover 6s., may still be obtained. "Mr. Edwin Arnold's poem, the 'Light of Asia,' is the most sympathetic account ever published in Europe of the life and teaching of the Sakya Saint, Prince Gautama Siddartha, the Lord Buddha. It is beyond the scope of the present review to enter into any explanation of the Dharma (Law of Righteousness), Karma, Nirvana, and other tenets and precepts of Buddhism. They will be found summed up in Buddha's 'Sermon on the Mount,' the poetical paraphrase of which in Mr. Arnold's 'Light of Asia' is one of the most interesting chapters of his book."-Times.

SELF CULTURE:

PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, MORAL AND SPIRITUAL.

A COURSE OF LECTURES.

By JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE.

"This is one of the warmest and kindliest books of the year. It consists of twenty-one lectures, covering the whole ground of physical, intellectual, moral, and spiritual self-knowledge, self-control, and self-building . full of the genial wisdom which Dr. Clarke's seventy years of serenely active and reflective life have taught him. They must be few, even of those who have thought much on the subject, who will not find here more than one valuable hint, while to the young man or woman earnestly resolved to make the most of life and of the talents given in trust, this book deserves to become a valuable friend, rich as it is in practical counsels of the highest worth."-Literary World (Boston).

ENGLISH-ARABIC

LEXICON,

In which the Equivalents for English Words and Idiomatic Sentences are Rendered into Literary and Colloquial Arabic.

By GEORGE PERCY BADGER, D.C.L., Late Chaplain, Bombay Presidency.

"Dr. Badger's Lexicon, as far as we can judge from the specimen before us, is well worthy of his profound scholarship, and will be welcomed by all whom business or pleasure calls to the East. The Lexicon is not merely a bare series of Arabic equivalents for English words, but contains under each word all the idiomatic sentences into which it enters, with an equally idiomatic rendering of the same in Arabic. The Arabic verbs are also given, with the vowels of the aorists and other typical forms, so that the work will form a complete repository of the colloquial and literary Arabic."-Athenæum.

SERMONS:

SCRIPTO-RATIONAL.

TOGETHER WITH

CONTAINING THE SUBSTANCE OF SHAKER THEOLOGY.

REPLIES AND CRITICISMS LOGICALLY AND CLEARLY SET FORTH.

By H. L. EADS,

Bishop of South Union, Kentucky.

This is the first book ever written for publication, by an individual whose whole life has been consecratedly devoted to and guided by the principles of Shakerism; and the tenor of the discourses denotes "words fitly spoken, like apples of gold and pictures of silver." The sermons embrace nearly or quite every feature of Shaker policy, and will be highly appreciated by many as a book of reference upon the subject of Shakerism.

"Elder Eads has in this volume given an exposition of several doctrines of a quaint sect, and, instead of remaining in the obscurity of a retired and exclusive community, he comes before the world as a keen defender of his body, and an aggressive opponent of received doctrines of orthodoxy. The volume is curious and interesting and throws light upon views which are often regarded by many as merely amusing and incredible except by the credulous. The volume is worth reading as a contribution to religious opinion, as a curious phase of belief-in fact as a study in the pathology of theology."—Scotsman.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEVONIAN FOSSILS:

GASTEROPODA, PTEROPODA, CEPHALOPODA, CRUSTACEA, AND CORALS OF THE UPPER
HELDERBERG, HAMILTON, AND CHEMUNG GROUPS.
By JAMES HALL.

This work is published by authority of the Legislature of the State, in advance of the regular edition of the Palæontology, and contains nearly complete illustrations of the Gasteropoda and Pteropoda, about half the number necessary to complete the Cephalopoda and almost a complete collection of plates illustrating the Crustacea. In addition to these are thirty plates of corals, a large number of plates will be necessary to complete this class. The preparation of the plates by lithography for the fifth volume being very slow, it was decided to issue one hundred copies of the plates, so far as ready, reproduced by the Albertype process. As this volume contains only plates and explanations, it has been considered important to present, in connection with them, the more important synonymy of the genera and species, which would ordinarily accompany the descriptive text.

ODONTORNITHES.

A MONOGRAPH ON THE EXTINCT TOOTHED BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA.
By OTHNIEL CHARLES MARSH.

Professor of Paleontology in Yale College.

With Thirty-Four Plates and Forty Woodcuts.

This Volume is the first of a series of Monographs designed to make known to science the Extinct Vertebrate Life of North America. The material is abundant, and the results already attained are full of promise for the future. A somewhat careful estimate makes the number of new species of extinct vertebrates collected since 1868, and now in the Yale College Museum, about 1000. Nearly 300 of these have already been described by Prof. Marsh, and some have been noticed or described by other authors, but at least one half remain to be investigated.

Among the new groups brought to light are the following, which will be fully described in subsequent volumes of the present series.

The first Pterodactyles, or flying reptiles, discovered in America were found in the same geological horizon with the Odontornithes, described in the above memoir. These were of enormous size, some having a spread of wings of nearly twenty-five feet; but they were especially remarkable on account of having no teeth, and hence resembling recent birds. They form a new order, Pteranodontia, from the type genus Pteranodon.

With these fossils were found also great numbers of Mosasauroid reptiles, a group which, although rare in Europe, attained an enormous development in America, both in numbers and variety of forms.

[ocr errors]

The most interesting discoveries made in the Jurassic formation were the gigantic reptiles belonging to the new suborder Sauropoda, including by far the largest land animals yet discovered. Another remarkable group of large reptiles found in the same formation were the Stegosauria. Other Dinosaurs from the same horizon, the Atlantosaurus beds, show that this was the dominant form of vertebrate life in that age, and many hundred specimens of these reptiles are now in the Yale Museum. In a lower horizon of the same formation, the "Sauranodon beds," were found the remains of a peculiar new group of reptiles, the Sauranodontia, allied to Ichthyosaurus, but without teeth.

In the Eocene deposits of the Rocky Mountains, Professor Marsh discovered a new order of huge mammals, the Dinocerata. Remains of several hundred individuals were secured, and a monograph on the group will follow the above memoir. In the same formation were found the remains of another new order of mammals, the Tillodontia, in many respects the most remarkable of any yet discovered. In the same Eocene deposits were secured the first remains of fossil Primates known from North America, as well as the first Cheiroptera, and Marsupialia. Abundant material also was found in the same region to illustrate the genealogy of the Horse, and a memoir on this subject is in course of preparation.

SELECT EXTRA-TROPICAL PLANTS, readily eligible for Industrial Culture or Naturalization, with Indications of their Native Countries and some of their Uses. By Baron FERD. VON MUELLER, K.C.M.G., M.D., Ph.D., F.R.S. 8vo. pp. x.-394, cloth. Price 8s.

The aim of Baron von Mueller in this work has been the bringing together, closely arrayed, some condensed data in -popular language on all the principal utilitarian plants hitherto known to prosper in extra-tropical zones. Portions of the work originally appeared in the volumes of the Victorian Acclimation Society; but under the auspices of the Central Government at Calcutta the whole has been re-issued in a re-arranged and largely supplemented form.

This is one of those valuable District Gazetteers which have been prepared under the general superintendence of Dr. Hunter, the Director-General of Statistics, preliminary to the compilation by himself of the Imperial Gazetteer of the whole of India. The volume will be found to contain the fullest information concerning the Physical Geography, Flora, Fauna, History, Inhabitants, Religion, Language and Literature, Art and Industry, Administration, etc., of Mysore and Coorg.

MYSORE INSCRIPTIONS. Translated for Government, by LEWIS RICE, Director of Public Instruction, Mysore and Coorg. 8vo. pp. 458, with Plate and Maps, boards. Price 30s.

The value of inscriptions has of late years been more and more recognized as one of the chief sources from which trustworthy materials may be drawn for the purposes of history. The inscriptions translated in this volume are concerned entirely with the Karnáta, or Karnataka country, as represented by the existing state of Mysore (Mahishar). The modern history of this state is well known to all who are conversant with Indian affairs as forming one of the most important chapters in the records of the progress of British dominion in the East. But the ancient history of the country is, even to its own people, almost, if not altogether, a blank.

TRIBES OF THE HINDOO KOOSH. By Major J. BIDDULPH, B.S.C., Political Officer at Gilgit. 8vo. pp. 34°, with Illustrations and Tables, cloth. Price 15s.

During the last six years it has been the Author's good fortune to visit a number of countries on both sides of the Eastern portion of the Hindoo Koosh range of mountains, all of which are very little known, and some of which have never before been visited by Europeans. In 1873 he formed one of Sir D. Forsyth's mission to Kashgar, and in the Spring of the following year crossed the Pamer and visited Sirikol and Wakhan. In 1876 he visited Gilgit, Hunza, and part of Yassin, and in 1877 was appointed by the Indian Government to reside at Gilgit in a Political capacity. In 1878 he visited Yassin and Chitral, and was only prevented by the outbreak of hostilities with Cabul from prolonging his journey.

[ocr errors]

This must have been a task involving no small labour, as the tables are comparative of Japanese and Western dates from Tai-Kwa, 1st year, to Mei-ji, 6th year (645 A.D. to 1873 A.D.), at which latter date the Gregorian Calendar was adopted in Japan. As a key to dates in the history of the country of the Mikado these tables are invaluable, and will recommend themselves."-London and China Express.
