"Praying and Working," this production gives charming pictures of men of very beautiful character, such as Pastor Harms, Hans Egede, Christian Spittler, Barth, Batsch, Neumark, Feneberg, Friedefeld, and Madame Zell, fit companions of those whom Dr. Stevenson portrayed before. A number of essays on Vagabonds, Hymns, Guesses at Truth, &c., of a lighter character, complete the volume. The setting is sometimes a little too large for the picture in the biographical papers; but we know too little of the devoted, simple-hearted philanthropists of Europe, and especially of those of Germany, and can easily forgive the fault. “Dr. Chalmers at Elberfeld," is really a practical homily for English Christians, or how to deal with pauperism, and "Matthew Claudius" is a hint to the literati on the nobleness of a homme de lettres, who makes truth and goodness a higher end than literary ambition, while he is thoroughly a man of letters still. The book is one of a class which needs to be multiplied, and to supplant in Sabbath school libraries the weak fictions which now inundate them.

BULLION'S LATIN-ENGLISH AND ENGLISH-LATIN DICTIONARY.* *. This is a new imprint of a work that has been previously before the public. The author is a well-known and industrious compiler of school books. This Dictionary is an abridgment and re-arrangement of Riddle's Lexicon, which was founded on Freund's. A large collection of synonyms is incorporated by the compiler, and a Latin-English Dictionary adapted from that of Kaltschmidt. The aim was through great condensation, facilitated by system, to produce a dictionary of convenient size containing all that is necessary for ordinary use in schools and colleges. The result is certainly a very useful manual. It covers the range of Latin authors commonly read in schools and colleges; points out etymologies, usually with great care; indicates the composition; distinguishes some 7000 similar words, or synonyms;" and classifies the definitions as "proper, metonymical, and figurative," and frequently also as "general and special," with the necessary subdivisions. Examples are given, with the author's name, but without specifying the place. The arrangement of the definitions is convenient for the eye. On the whole, the work seems well adapted to the end in view, and forms a good and convenient manual.

THE NEW ENGLANDER is published quarterly in New Haven, Conn. For thirty years it has been a recognized exponent and defender of those views respecting politics, public affairs education, social improvement, religious doctrine and life, which have given character to New England. It has, also, from the first, included in its plan the discussion of questions of public interest in literature, science, and philosophy.

It disclaims allegiance to any party in theology or politics, and signifies the independence with which it acts by adopting as its motto the Horatian line "Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri."

New Books as they appear will be examined in the spirit of impartial but courteous criticism, and particular efforts will be made to render critical notices valuable for their fullness and thoroughness.

The New Englander is published in January, April, July, and October. Terms for 1873, $4 in advance; single copies, $1. Home and Foreign Missionaries and Theological Students, on application by mail, will be supplied as heretofore for $2 per year. The complete set, comprising 31 Volumes, with an Index Volume, $60.
