 In the work before us the author has endeavoured to bring together all the 

 previously known, or now discoverable facts of Hobbes' life, and to give some 

 kind of fairly balanced representation of the whole range of his thought, 

 instead of dwelHng only on those humanistic portions of it by which he has 

 commonly been judged. It forms one of the volumes of Blackwood's 

 Philosophical Classics.

 and is supposed to have been the source of his conception of Paradise Lost.

We would recommend those of our readers who are interested in mission 

 work to read this book. It gives a graphic description of the country, and a 

 most interesting account of character and customs of the Maori, and the 

 progress these people are making under Christian and civilising influence. The 

 illustrations add much to the interest of the book.
