    ilc \) iclDS , Set . From Mr . B . " W . Allen . —' The Triumph of Life '

    portion mystical of p 6 a em remarkable ,-by EJla Dietz trilogy . This , of which is the last the , earlier divisions were entitled ' The Triumph of

    Love ' and ' The Triumph of Time / Like them , ' The Triumph of Life ' is distinguished by a rare of command Biblical imagery poetical to d an icti extent on , and which by a is command perhaps

    rarer still . The poems of the volume before us are in effect psalms , being , like the celebrated book which bears that name , the prayers and

    utterances of a deeply troubled spirit . They appear to be the result of intense study of the Old Testament .

    be disappointed because there is no list of contents in the book . But if they are inclined to overlook this somewhat unusual

    imperfection and to proceed with a perusal of the verses , they will be well rewarded by finding not a few evidences of a fine poetic fancy , besides

    man single y very work musical , comprises lines in . all The thirty poem -nine , taken groups as a of verses , each dealing with a distinct subject ,

    and together showing some attention to historical sequence , and to the attributes , in different ages , of English thought and action . An especially

    worthy poem on Gordon makes one even excuse an addition to the thousands of verses on the same subject which have already appeared .

    From Messrs . Bemrose & Sons . — ' The Tongue of Fire ; or , the Power of Christianity , ' by William

    Arthur . A re-issue of this work in the ' Author's Uniform Edition ' deserves a hearty welcome . The popularity of ' The Tongue of Fire' has been

    an established fact for about thirty years ; it was a book which General Gordon said should be often XWVM read VtWVJi a V nd o » n e of - its recent - V- »« kJ » % successes « - SV V + J W 9 < J was f « JHM A its W »« f ^ * ¦ , * * " ^ - * - ^^^ ^ "' " * ***** ¦ ^^ ^^* ^^^¦* **¦ School
