"It is a book every page of which is full of interest, and which we do not hesitate to call substantial and accurate formation. No person was better qualified to produce a work of this kind than he who had so carefully studied the 'Ten Great Religions of the World.' The one essential qualification of Dr. Clarke for the task he has performed, and which

s manifest in every section of the book before us, is his appreciation of whatsoever things are true and good in all religions. t matters not how remote the period, or how distant the land of which he speaks, their religious ideas, etc., are all justly reated."-The Christian Life.

It is marked by thoroughness of preparation, sound judgment, and admirable impartiality. It is a promising beginning

series, which has proved so useful and popular.—The Nation.

Admiral Ammen's history of the naval operations on the Atlantic coast, from 1861 to the close of the war, describes
the active work of the navy in attacking the defensive strongholds of the Confederacy from Hampton Roads to Flori
Keys. It includes a full account of the long siege of Charlestown, and the scarcely less arduous operations against Fort
Fisher, the capture of Hatteras Inlet, Roanoke Island and Newbern, and other minor movements along the coast.

THE GULF

AND INLAND WATERS.

By A. T. MAHAN,
Commander U. S. Navy.

The achievements of the Naval Force on the Mississippi and its tributaries, and on the Gulf and the Red River, either
independently or in co-operation with the Army, form one of the most thrilling chapters in the history of the Civil War.
The exploits of Farragut, Foote and Porter, with their gallant crews and improvised vessels, teem with acts of daring,
marvellous escapes, and terrific encounters. Commander Mahan has done full justice to this side of his narrative, but he
has given at the same time a record of this part of the war that has greater claims to historic value than any which have
preceded it.
