DEC. 1, 1866.

The Character of Jesus Portrayed: a Biblical Essay, with an Appendix. By Dr. Daniel Schenkel, Professor of Theology, Heidelberg. Translated from the third German edition, with Introduction and Notes, by W. H. Furness, D. D. pp. xxvi., 269; 359. Boston: Little, Brown & Co.

The work of Dr. Schenkel was called forth by Rénan's Vie de Jésus. Dr. Furness describes the value of the work as consisting not so much in its particular expositions "as in its thorough fidelity to a purely historical method, in its pervading appreciation of the humanity both of the nature and spirit of Jesus, and in a love of truth and freedom." It is difficult to present in a summary form the various views entertained by the author. His general stand-point may be understood from his expression of sympathy with the "manly boldness" of Bauer, and of regret that "our theological faculties have, for the most part, become supporters of an obsolete doctrinal system." The work, on account of the extreme freedom which pervades it, has attracted considerable attention abroad, and has been violently assailed in Germany by those whom its author describes, according to his way of thinking, as “the men of tradition" and "a clerical faction." Dr. Schenkel is a native of Schaffhausen, in Switzerland. In 1850 he succeeded De Wette as Professor of Theology in Basel, but a few years afterwards he accepted a call to the University of Heidelberg, where he still resides. He appears to share the critical skepticism of De Wette and Bret schneider, though his ecclesiasticallposition is, we believe, one of reformed and progressive Lutheranism. A Critical History of the Doctrine of a Future Life, with a Complete Bibliography of the Subject. By Wm. Rounseville Alger. Fourth edition, carefully revised. pp. x., 676. N. Y.: W. J. Widdleton. This work appeared originally, we believe, in 1862. There is no preface or note to the present edition indicating that it differs in any, and, if so, in what respect, from the preceding editions, although the title page states that it has been "carefully revised." The pagination is the same, except that there is an additional page at the close, in which the author disclaims any intention "to cast doubt on the immortality of the soul, or to depreciate the belief in it." The "Literature of the Doctrine of Future Life," by Mr. Ezra Abbot-a remarkable piece of special bibliography-still stands as it did when it first appeared. The volumein royal octavo form-as issued by Mr. Widdleton, presents a very neat appearance. As respects its merits and peculiarities, we expressed ourselves at considerable length upon its first appearance. The History of Christianity from the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire. By Henry Hart Milman, D. D., Dean of St. Paul's. 3 vols. pp. viii., 485; iv., 478; iv., 507. New York: W. J. Widdleton.

This is a work which, for a number of years past, has not only maintained its position, but won for itself increasing respect. It may be perused by the general reader of history, as well as by the theological student. In the present edition, the dean has carefully revised it throughout, without overlooking anything that has appeared since its first publication, either from the Tübingen School, the recent Orientalists, or Rénan. The volumes belong to Mr. Widdleton's department of Riverside books, and are in the excellent style of typography and paper characteristic of those works. We would especially commend this history by Dean Milman to young men who are fond of historical reading. Let them not infer from the title that it is a work

of heavy, dull theology. On the contrary, the style is not only agreeable, but has about it a positive charm, due to the blended influence of scholarship, sense, and taste.

Morning by Morning, or Daily Readings for the Family or the Closet. By C. H. Spurgeon. pp. 408. New York: Sheldon & Co.

In their plan these Readings furnish a text for each successive day of the year, with a meditation thereon, each occupying a page. Hymns for worship in the family in the morning are added at the end of the volume.

This work first appeared in 1857. Since then it has passed through five editions, and the present is the sixth. We are not aware of any other volume which gives so complete a general view of Brazil and the Brazilians. Our commercial relations with that portion of the continent are assuming importance, and the information here given concerning the people and the productions of the country is most valuable. The numerous and spirited illus trations impart additional interest to the text. History of the United States of America, designed for Schools, extending from the Discovery of Americs by Columbus to the Close of the Rebellion, wilá Numerous Maps and Engravings, together with a Notice of American Antiquities and the Indira Tribes. By Ebert Guernsey, A. M. pp. 95. Philadelphia: Moss & Co.

Mr. Guernsey's work has been before the public for nearly twenty years. The present is a revised edition, in which the narrative is brought down to the surrender of the Confederate armies in 1865 and the adoption of the Constitutional amendment abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude. A chronological table appended to the volume gives the dates of leading events up to July of last year. Personal Recollections of Distinguished Generals. B William F. J. Shanks. pp. xiii., 352. New York Harper & Brothers.

Mr. Shanks was, we believe, a war correspondent, and the papers here collected appeared originally, la we mistake not, in "Harper's Magazine," although they are now revised and enlarged. There are portraits of fifteen of the generals. The leading sketches are those of Sherman, Thomas, Grant Sheridan, Hooker, Rosseau. They are written in style of free pointed characterization, and abound in personal incidents.

The Life and Times of Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha, or Re Jacket. By the late William L. Stone. With Memoir of the Author, by his Son. pp. viii., 5 Albany: J. Munsell.

50

The "Life of Red Jacket," as is well known, is in fact a portion-the concluding one-of the history of the Six Nations. The volume has therefore general historical as well as a personal biographical interest. It has been reproduced in beautiful form by Mr. Munsell. In several instances the narrative notes, and appendix have been made fuller in the present edition, manuscripts being used for that purpose which were collected by the author after the work had passed the press. A full memoir Mr. Stone, written by his son, forms an appropriate and graceful portion of the volume. The work its present attractive shape will doubtless win i itself a new circle of readers.

Poems.

POETRY.

DEC. 1, 1866.

By Edgar Allan Poe. With an original memoir. pp. 278. New York: W. J. Widdleton. In this edition Mr. Widdleton has given us in a compact form and an excellent style of book manufacture, a complete collection of Poe's Poems, with a newly written memoir. We are not surprised at the increased popularity of the poems, for they indicate rare genius, a genius which seems to have been lavished in vain upon its dissolute and unfortunate possessor.

Flower-de-Luce. By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. With Illustrations. pp. 72. Boston: Ticknor & Fields.

In this beautifully printed little volume there are twelve of the recent poetical productions of Mr. Longfellow in addition to the one from which the title is taken. There are five illustrations, engraved by Anthony, after designs by Fenn, Perkins, Etynge, Jr., Waud, and Coleman, Jr. The form is small quarto, and the paper and typography are unexceptionable.

FICTION.

The Old Helmet. World." Brothers. "Wide, Wide World" had such a run that there will be no lack of readers for another volume from the same pen. The author tells us that the incidents and testimonies given in the work as matters of fact are not drawn from imagination, but reported from excellent authority, and that in the case of reported words of third parties the words stand unchanged without any meddling.

These are both by Mr. Edward Willet, and published by T. W. Strong, New York. They are regular old-fashioned fairy tales, with grotesque and amusing wood-cuts to match, just such as will please little folks.

The King's Ring. By Theodore Tilton, illustrated by Frank Jones. pp. 8. New York: Hurd & Houghton.

This is a new juvenile, in the style of ornate colored printing, which has been applied by Hurd & Houghton to their juveniles, and which has made some of them almost specimens of art in their department.

The text adopted in this edition is that of Dr. Jonathan Scott, which appeared in 1811. It is selected because it is believed it will be found by the young to be more readable than the scholarly version of Mr. Edward Lane. Objectionable expressions and passages have been expunged, so that there need be no hesitation in putting the work into the hands of children. The stories have also been re-grouped, and occasional foot-notes are added ex
