LITERATURE AND LITERARY PROGRESS IN 1874.

vigorous assault upon Dr. Hodge's system, 



>h:irp, ami in parts effective, boars the ex- 

 \o title, "Fetii-h in Theology; or Doc- 

 triiKilism Twin in Ritualism," by John Miller. 

 A .oiitrilmtion to a controvorsy still in active 

 ; oss is " Euchuristio Presence, Eucharistio 

 ;ioe, and Eucharistio Adoration," by the 

 unuel Duel, Professor in the General 

 Theological Seminary, New York; and Dr. 

 Sohall' illuminates a pending theologico-politi- 

 r il i-ontroversy byrepublishingMr. Gladstone's 

 pamphlet on "The Vatican Decrees in their 

 ng on Civil Allegiance," appending to 

 thorn a History of the Vatican Council, and 

 xts of the Papal Syllabus and Vatican 

 < 03, in Latin and English. Among books 

 of practical religion may be noticed "Joseph 

 Tuckerman on the Elevation of the Poor; a 

 selection from his Reports as Minister at Largo 

 in Boston, with on Introduction, by E. E. Hale," 

 as at once a worthy memorial of an eminent 

 Christian philanthropist, and a manual of prac- 

 tical suggestion, "{strength and Beauty: Dis- 

 cussions for Young Men," by ex-President 

 Mark Hopkins, D. D., a collection of insuf- 

 ficiently disguised sermons, in which high prin- 

 ciples of philosophy and religion are discussed 

 with remarkable freshness of thought and a 

 striking, sometimes almost poetical vividness 

 of illustration, and are applied to the conduct 

 of life. " The Christian in the World," a prize 

 essay, by the Rev. D. W. Faunce, has so much 

 of unconventional good sense that, if it were 

 not for the official announcement of the fact, it 

 would not be suspected to have been made " to 

 order." A book out of the heart and speaking 

 to the heart, in a spirit of fine religious intel- 

 ligence, is "Helps to a Life of Prayer," by the 

 Rev. J. M. Manning, D. D. The "History, 

 Essays, Orations, and other Documents of the 

 Sixth General Conference of the Evangelical 

 Alliance," edited by the Rev. Drs. Philip 

 Schaff and S. Irenams Prime, presents a series 

 of papers, some of great ability, some merely 

 expressive of amiable feeling, but all interest- 

 ing and appropriately commemorating a mem- 

 orable occasion. 



Perhaps some of the works cited below by 

 their titles, are as worthy of notice as those 

 we have mentioned, but so much must suffice :
