LITERATURE, BRITISH, IN 1883. An exam- 

 ination of the list of books published in Great 

 Britain brings to light no work of startling 

 merit and novelty, though many have ap- 

 peared which are important, and which aid in 

 giving the year a favorable standing in the 

 history of literature. Following will be found 

 those more significant works in the different 

 classes, original and translations, which have 

 specially attracted attention. 



Theology and Religions Literature. The Gos- 

 pels and Epistles have been published, with 

 annotations, in Dr. Plummer's " St. John," Dr. 

 Westcott's " Epistles," Canon Farrar's " Epis- 

 tle to the Hebrews," in which he claims the 

 authorship for Apollo's, differing, therefore, 

 with many of the leading modern as well as 

 ancient scholars. Dr. Maclear has annotated 

 the " Gospel of St. Mark," and Dr. Godet the 

 "Epistle to the Romans." Dr. Joseph Par- 

 ker has written a study of the " Inner Life of 

 Christ," Dr. Charteris has published six lec- 

 tures in defense of "The New Testament 

 Scriptures," and Dean Stanley has published 

 his " Addresses and Sermons " delivered in 

 America. Canon' Freemantle's work on "The 

 Gospel of the Secular Life " is notable ; Raw- 

 linson's "Religions of the Ancient World" 

 is a valuable contribution to the history of 

 theology ; as is also Dr. Moffat's " Church in 

 Scotland." An important addition to extant 

 histories of the Order of Jesus is " The Records 

 of the English Province " of the order by 

 Mr. Foley, the English Jesuit ; while Dr. Grie- 

 singer has issued a complete history of the 

 Jesuits from an adverse stand-point. Dr. Mc- 

 Hale has issued his work on " The Roman Cath- 

 olic Archbishops of Tuam " ; the collection of 

 English diocesan histories has been extend- 

 ed ; and Mr. Stanley Lane-Poole has written on 

 Mohammedanism, in eight papers collected un- 

 der the title of " Studies in a Mosque." 



Biography and History. These subjects, as 

 usual, have been largely treated. The " English 

 Men of Letters " series includes the names, for 

 the year, of Macaulay, Sheridan, Fielding, and
