![opinion, but with especial reference to materialism. So far as he lias proceeded, Mr. Thomas has done his work witli great spirit and intelligence. We have tested the trans- lation at different points, and have always found that it reflects the original freely and accurately. —Pail Mall Gazette. Every section of Dr. Lango's work is followed by a copious body of notes, abounding in references to authorities, aud bearing ample testimony to the extensive reading of the author.—Saturday Review. We seo no reason for not endorsing the translator's judgment that is 'raised far above the level of ordinary controversial writing by its thoroughness, comprehensiveness, and impartiality.—Contemporary Review. The ' English and Foreign Philosophical Library' could not be more worthily inaugurated than by a translation of Lange's great work.—Mind. Vol. IV.] Post 8vo, pp. xii.—362, cloth, price 10s. 6d. NATURAL LAW: An Essay in Ethics. By EDITH SIMOOI. Second Edition. *' Miss Simcox deserves cordial recognition for the excellent work she has done in vindication of naturalism, and especially for the high nobility of her ethical purpose.— Athenaeum. A book which for the rest is a mine of suggestion.—Academy. The writer's highest skill is seen in bringing together aspects of ideas which limit one another, and even seem to conflict, in elucidating the paradoxical side of accepted propositions, and embodying acute perceptions in elaborate epigrammatic periods.— Examiner. ' This thoughtful and able work is in many respects the most important contribution yet made to the ethics of the evolution theory.—Mind. Vols. V.

Sixth Edition, with a New Introduction. Professional reproaches against a book so manly and modest, so evidently truth- loving, so high-minded and devout, as this of Mr. Greg's, are but a melancholy imbecility. .... No candid reader of the ' Creed of Christendom' can close the book without the secret acknowledgment that it is a model of honest investigation and clear exposition, conceived in the true spirit of serious and faithful research.—Westminster Review. This work remains a monument of his industry, his high literary power, his clear intellect, and his resolute desire to arrive at the truth. In its present shape, with its new introduction, it will be still more widely read, and more warmly welcomed by those who believe that in a contest between Truth and Error, Truth never can be worsted.— Scotsman.

TTELE, Dr. Theol., Professor of the History of Religions in the University of Leiden. Translated from the Dutch by J. Estlin Carpenter, II.A. '' Few books of its size contain the result of so much wide thinking, able and laborious study, or enable the reader to gain a better bird's-eye view of the latest results of inves- tigations into the religious history of nations. As Professor Tiele modestly says, ' In this little book are outlines—pencil sketches, I might say—nothing more.' But there are some men whose sketches from a thumb-nail are of far more worth than an enormous canvas covered with the crude painting of others, aud it is easy to see that these pages, full of information, these sentences, cut and perhaps also dry, short and clear, condense the fruits of long and thorough research.—Scotsman. »'vis To us the value of the book seems to consist in the condensed statement of what is certainly known of all the chief religions of the world up to the rise of Buddhism, Chris- tianity, Islam, which are qualified as universal religions; and the opportunity which it thus affords to the student of making original and more minute investigations from a starting-point of unquestioned taut.—Theological Review.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21782477_0424.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
