The .71 otirrn Thinker (I). Goodman, editor 
and publisher,) is the title of a new magazine 
which has just appeared us, "An organ for the 
most, advanced speculations in Philosophy, 
Science, Sociology and Religion." The projec¬ 
tor avow* Ills Intention 11 to choose for discussion 
just those subjects which are now so carefully 
avoided " by other magazines; •• anil he expects, 
of comae, to shook many old prejudices and to 
create a good many new ones against himself 
and Ills publication. The latest results of human 
thought and modern science in all departments 
of speculative activity shall here And a place, no 
matter what creed or existing preconception 
they may conflict with." The projector Is a 
Positivist of the School of Auguste Comth, 
though not accepting' uixpinlitledly, all the 
speculations of that philosopher. The contents 
of the Issue before us are:—Egotisms by the 
editor; The Last Word about Jesus by John 
Fiskk; King Wealth Coming, by 1). Goodman ; 
What of the Future?'The Future of Marriage 
81mm as a Factor In Sociology, by I). O. Croly ;

.ti/ui nnii H'ife. (New York: Harper & 
Brothers.)— Wit.tUK Collins never hus fallen 
into tlie slough of stupidity‘and a (.tempted to 
drag in n " listening world" after him. Some¬ 
times ho leads hi* reader#, page after page, 
through the most exciting and thrilling of plots 
and Incidents, with no apparent purpose, save to 
show how very cleverly he writes n book. But. 
In “Man and Wife" there is a purpose, and a 
very noble one, too. He takes for Id# text the 
marriage laws of England and Scotland, and 
weaves from the possibilities Unit might grow, 
and undoubtedly many times have grown from 
them, an exceedingly interesting-story. The In- 
1 crest begins in the first chapter, and never lings 
for a moment until llu* last word of the book Is 
rend. None of the characters arc remarkably 
now, but all seem to have been born fora pur¬ 
pose. There is the fresh, pretty, impulsive, but 
Ioyal-hoartad,fashionable girl; the patient, suf¬ 
fering. wronged, but noble woman; the keen- 
sighted, el ear-hen dial lawyer; Ihe noble, unso¬ 
phisticated lover, and the rascally young noble¬ 
man, who Is very cleverly held up to Illustrate 
the beauties and excellencies of the present 
educational tendencies of Oxford, which so 
“adores" muscular exhibitions in all soli# of 
races, when human muscle comes In lor glory. 
This feature of the book is timely for us, when 
our papers are filled with races of men, of boats 
and yachts, of base-bull performances, otc., to 
the exclusion of other and infinitely better ma¬ 
terial. 
We have thus given sufficient to indicate the 
character and purpose ol' t his unique publica¬ 
tion. No one need be misled. It is hardly nec¬ 
essary to say that the topics named are discussed 
with varied ability and groat freedom. No in¬ 
dependent thinker need shrink from its perusal; 
no om- will be apt to agree with ali the positions 
of au> one of the writers; tout, it may lie found 
easier to disagree than to controvert. Mechani¬ 
cally the wio-lc is unique. Thera is no white 
paper, and little If any black Ink used. It is 
printed on paper of a half dozen or more 
colors, the theory being that black Ink ought 
never to be used on white paper; and that while 
paper ought never to be employed In book mak¬ 
ing. 
The Hnhenutein* (New York: Leopoldt. & 
Holt) is one ot Frederick Spieluagen’s stories 
of Gorman life, this one illustrating the merce¬ 
nary phase ot aristocratic society which depends 
for financial replenishment upou the marketa¬ 
ble value of mnrringable daughters. It Illus¬ 
trates how the demands of society and position 
may crush out or override the demands of hon- 
ov, conscience, and the host impulses of man¬ 
hood ; and how surely It condemns a minor fault 
because it is plehiun, and winks at vilest wick- 
edno^* In the patrician. It is a wordy story, hut 
interesting, and in a sense, instructive. 
Robert b'nhnner. (Boston: Loring.) — This, 
by George Macdonald, is u Scotch story. 
While Its dialogues are somewhat tedious to 
people who read such books for the story alone, 
ami its use ol’ Scotch dialect makes it somewhat 
obscure to those tin familiar therewith, it is a 
very loadable book, healthy lu tone, and Illus¬ 
trates the results of the stern old Presbyterian 
teaching signally. There is something really 
fine in more than one incident, going to establish 
the law of universal compensation. 
It oh Hoff on ihe Jordan. (New York: Har¬ 
per & Brothers.) This work is by J. Macghkgor, 
and is profusely illustrated with maps and en¬ 
gravings. It gives the incidents of a cruise in a 
canoe (the Rol) Roy) ir. Palestine, Egypt and the 
Waters of Damascus. It is full of incident and 
adventure. Is well written, and gives much in¬ 
formation which in these cosmopolitan days 
may at any time prove of practical value to any 
one. We can commend this book to our readers. 
The Mirror of Typography (Now York; T. 
H. Senior & Co.) contains a copy of “ Whittier’s 
Barefoot Boy"—a bountiful specimen of color- 
printing from zinc plates, printed upou a Camp¬ 
bell cylinder press. It is a wonderfully excel¬ 
lent specimen of color printing, as the Mirror is 
itself a reflection of tasteful typography.

Nol knowing Greek ourselves, we can barely 
make ihe announcement for the benefit of the
