will be of interest to those who like to study the history of triljes little known 

 to the outside world, and of whom it will probably soon be said, " Their 

 memory and their name is gone."

Records of the Past; being English Translations of the 

 Ancient Monuments of Eg}'pt and Western Asia. Edited by A. II. Sayce. 

 Crown 8vo, pp. viii. — 208. (London: S. Bagster and Sons.)

 especially for the Biblical student, as illustrating and in some instances con- 

 firming the statements of the sacred volume. 



In Clover and Heather. By Wallace Bruce. Crown 8vo, 

 pp. 198. (Edinburgh and London : W. Blackwood and Sons. ) Price 4s. 6d. 



This book consists of 52 poetical pieces by an American, but one who, if 

 he is not, as his name would suggest, of Scottish origin, has intense sympathy 

 and admiration for Burns and Scott, two of Scotland's greatest poets. Mr. 

 Bruce stands high as a poet in the estimation of such competent American 

 judges as Longfellow, Whittier. and Wendell-Holmes, and we think that this 

 book will create or confirm a favourable opinion of the poetic powers of the 

 writer among English readers. 



Studies in Pedagogy. By Gen. T. J. Morgan, A.M., D.D. 

 Crown 8vo, pp. 360. (Boston, U.S.A. : Silver Burdett and Co. 1890.) 

 Price .$1.75. 



This is a work from the pen of one who has had long experience in teach- 

 ing, and who has a just and high appreciation of the office of the schoolmaster. 

 Though it is a well-worn subject, yet the writer treats it in a somewhat novel 

 style, and has produced a book suggestive, helpful, and readable.

We have before us one of the most interesting volumes of this magnificent 

 series. It commences with an account of the discoveries of the Spaniards in 

 these regions and the advent of trappers and travellers. Commencing in 

 chapter 3, the story of Mormonism is told, with all its attendant revelations, 

 miracles, and persecutions, how Joseph Smith ha'd a vision, how he found the 

 book of Mormon, began to preach, and was driven forth and killed in Illinois, 

 his followers meanwhile fleeing to the valley of the Great Salt Lake.
