Kan-Ylng P'icn, Treatise of the Exalted One on Re- 

 sponse and Retribution. Translated from the Chinese by Teitaro Suzuki 

 and Dr. Paul Carus. Containing Chinese Text, Verbatim Translation, 

 Explanatory Notes and Moral Tales. Edited by Dr. Paul Carus. 16 

 plates. Pp. 135. 1906. Boards, 75c net. 



The book contains a critical and descriptive introduction, and the entire Chinese 

 text in large and distinct characters with the verbatim translation of each page ar- 

 ranged on the opposite page in corresponding vertical columns. This feature makes the 

 book a valuable addition to the number of Chinese-English text-books already avail- 

 able. The text is a facsimile reproduction from a collection of Chinese texts made in 

 Japan by Chinese scribes. 



After the Chinese text follows the English translation giving references to the 

 corresponding characters in the Chinese original, as well as to the explanatory notes 

 immediately following the English version. These are very full and explain the sig- 

 nificance of allusions in the Treatise and compare different translations of disputed 

 passages. This is the first translation into English directly from the Chinese original, 

 though it was rendered into French by Stanislas Julien, and from his French edition 

 into English by Douglas. 



A number of illustrative stories are. appended in all the editions of the original, 

 but the selection of these stories seems to vary in the different editions. They are very 

 inferior in intrinsic value to the Treatise itself, and so are represented here only by 

 extracts translated in .part directly from the Chinese edition and in part through the 

 French of Julien, but many are illustrated by reproductions of the Chinese pictures 

 from the original edition. The frontispiece is a modern interpretation by Keichyu 

 Yamada of Lao Tze, the great Oriental philosopher, "The Exalted One" to whom the 

 authorship of this Treatise is ascribed. 



and Religion. A Study of Spinoza's Metaphysics and of 

 his particular utterances in "regard to religion, with a view to determining 

 the significance of his thought for religion and incidentally his personal 



attitude toward it. By Elmer Ellsworth 

 Powell, A. M., Ph. D., Professor of 

 Philosophy in Miami University. 1906.

Spinoza has been regarded for centuries 

 as the most radical philosopher, yet he had a 

 reverential attitude toward religion and prom- 

 inent thinkers such as Goethe looked up to him 

 as their teacher in both metaphysics and religion. 

 Professor E. E. Powell, of Miami University, 

 feels that there has been great need to have 

 Spinoza's philosophy and attitude toward re- 

 ligion set forth by a competent hand, and, ac- 

 cordingly, he has undertaken the task with a 

 real love of his subject, and has indeed ac- 

 complished it with success.
