A Young Girl's Wooing: By E. P. Roe. i2mo. pp. 482. Dodd, Meade 

 & Co., N. Y, 1884. For sale by M. H. Dickinson, $1.50. 



We do not know how many novels Rev. Mr. Roe has written, but, judging 

 from the large sales of all of them, he has not yet " outlived his usefulness " nor 

 his popularity. Whatever we may say of such books in general, it is proper to 

 say that the style of the author is attractive and the moral tone of his works irre- 

 proachable. 



The volume under consideration is no exception in excellence to those pre- 

 ceding it, and is interesting as a story and well written as a literary production. 



The Religions of the Ancient World : By Professor George Rawlinson. 

 Sent to any address for 30 cents. J. Fitzgerald, Publisher, 20 Lafayette 

 Place, New York. For sale by M. H. Dickinson. 



The study of the religious systems of antiquity, of the forms assumed by 

 religious ideas in their development among the Egyptians, Babylonians, Chal- 

 deans, Greeks, Romans, and other ancient peopJes ; their mythologies, their curi- 

 rites and ceremonies, their beliefs as to a future state, etc., is one of the most 

 important and interesting branches of historical research. No more competent 

 guide in this fascinating study could be found than Mr. Rawlinson, the well- 

 known author and Camden Professor of Ancient History in the University of 

 Oxford, and no edition can better meet the wants of the masses than this.
