 its merits in our classes.— Prof. J. W. Rust, President of Bethel Female College,

A thoughtful contribution to the literature of aesthetics is "The Artist and his 

 Mission," by Professor William M. Reily, of Palatinate College. It is written 

 with the utmost modesty, and makes no pretence to original investigation; but it 

 represents, in point of fact, no small amount of reading and reiiection. The 

 author's views on the true object and purpose of art are clear and true, and are 

 faithful to the conception of duty. Moral beauty as well as physical is recognized 

 in this treatise, whicti is creditable both to the learning and the spirit of its author.
