hopes may be more acceptable and easier of 

 credit to those who doubt concerning the 

 present accepted view. Not " Calvary " the 

 crucifixion according to this view, was the 

 culmination of Christ's life work, and marked 

 the accomplishment of his mission, but the 

 temptation in the wilderness, in which " our 

 Lord literally bought back the spiritual free- 

 dom of mankind through the spiritual danger 

 that he, guarded with the weakness of the 

 flesh, was presumed to encounter when he 

 was led by the Spirit into the wilderness." 



The Elements of Economics of Industry, 

 by Alfred Marshall, is an abridgment of the 

 first volume of the author's Principles of 

 Economics, noticed in our June number. 

 The reduction of the larger work has been 

 effected by the omission of many discussions 

 on points of minor importance and of some 

 difficult theoretical investigations, thus allow- 

 ing arguments that are retained to be given 

 in full. A chapter on trade-unions is in- 

 cluded in the present volume, although in the 

 larger work this subject is postponed to a 

 later stage. (Macmillan, $1.) 



The results of extended study are em- 

 bodied in The English Language and English 

 G-rammar, by Samuel Ramsey. The former 

 part of the book is a general account of the 

 origin and present condition of our mother- 

 tongue, considerable attention being devoted 

 to pronunciation and spelling. The latter 

 part is a treatise on the nature and uses of 

 the parts of speech, closing with some sug- 

 gestions to young writers. Throughout the 

 volume the author gives his personal impres- 

 sions freely on controverted matters, though 

 acknowledging, as for example in his analy- 

 sis of the sounds in English speech, that 

 others see these things differently. (Put- 

 nam, $3.)
