    ing that the price of each volume is but sixpence it must be said that Messrs . Black are

    issuing an edition of wondrous beauty . From Messrs . Burns & Oates , Limited . —* Holy

    Wisdom ; or , Directions for the Prayer of Contemplation , & c ., ' written by Ven . Father F . Augustine Baker , a monk of the English

    Congregation of the Holy Order of S . Benedict , edited by the Right Rev . Abbot SweeneyD . D . This . is a book of devotional

    directions , extracted from the writings of Father August ine Baker . It shows much piety , a good deal of acumen , and also some

    had already been told all that was known or could possibly be of interest concerning Warren . . Hastings _ ^^ , g and that , , therefore ' , Captai * n

    Trotter ' s monograph is superfluous . But in fact it is nothing of the sort . During the present year three volumes of ' Letters ,

    Despatches , and other State Papers preserved in the Foreign Department of the Government of India 1772-1785 ' have been printed , and

    Captain Trotter ' s book exhibits for the first time the actual work of Hastings as set forth in — the ori — ginal records . This g kj ives it a special

    value . And c ^ not only is fresh light thrown x . on the career of Hastings , but the biography is written with conspicuous literary abilityand

    a delightful disregard j _ for conventional % r op inion , . From the Cambridge University Press . — ' The

    books well adapted to the use not only of students and teachers , but of general readers of the Bible as well . . The exposition is

    remarkably lucid ; indeed , the whole work is ! done with a talent and a conscientiousness that merit the highest praise .

    ( which make a volume of over 800 pag , es ) and is the history of a poet / s heart for a quarter of a century . Moreover , there is hardly a phase

    of great thoug problems ht or feeling of time in connection , or questions with all of the the period , of which it does not take account . Mr .

    from the Norwegian original by Edmund Gosse . While Ibsen is regarded by some English critics as not only a man of supreme genius and a great literary artistbut as the preacher of a I

    new gospel , the propagator , of a new faith , others sneer at his pretensions , and laugh at his claims to be considered as either a poet or an

    artist in the strict sense . Which _ of the contending — - ^— — £ « parties h — — is rig £ j ht it would — — - still - — — — perh «^* - ¦ h ^^ H ^^ m ^^ ap ^^ ¦¦ ^ ^ s I
