=Biblical Study.= Its Principles, Methods, and a
History of its Branches. Together with a Catalogue of
a Reference Library of Biblical Study. By CHARLES A.
BRIGGS, D.D., Professor of Hebrew and Cognate Languages
in Union Theological Seminary. 1 vol. 12mo, $2.50.
Professor Briggs’ book is admirably adapted for the use of the great
number of readers and Bible students who desire to know the results
of the most recent investigation and the best modern scholarship in
the field of Biblical Study. Without such a guide it is impossible to
comprehend the discussions which now agitate the religious world as
to the canon, the languages, the style, the text, the interpretation,
and the criticism of Scripture. Each of these departments, with other
kindred topics, is treated in a brief but thorough and comprehensive
manner, and their history and literature are presented together with
their present aspect.
=The Scriptural Idea of Man.= By MARK HOPKINS, D.D.,
LL.D., 1 vol., 12mo, $1.00.
“We wish every theological student in the land might have the chance,
at least, of reading this book. The doctrines of the Bible in relation
to man in his original nature have seldom been more powerfully
enforced, and the different schools of modern infidelity have seldom
been exposed more completely in all their weakness. It is like taking a
tonic or a breath of mountain air for one to listen to such teachings
as the pen of Doctor Hopkins here gives to the younger race of
ministers.”—_The Christian Intelligencer._
=The Grounds of Theistic and Christian Belief.=
By GEORGE P. FISHER, D.D., LL.D., Professor of
Ecclesiastical History in Yale College, 1 vol., crown
8vo. $2.50.
This volume embraces a discussion of the evidences of both natural and
revealed religion, and prominence is given to topics having special
interest at present from their connection with modern theories and
difficulties. Professor Fisher’s learning, skill in argument, and
power of language have given him the position of one of the foremost
defenders of the faith now living, and this volume will be useful to
many in clearing up perplexities and throwing new light upon the nature
of the Christian faith and its relation to modern thought.
=Christian Charity in the Ancient Church.= By
Dr. GERHARD UHLHORN, author of “The Conflict of
Christianity with Heathenism.” 1 vol. crown 8vo, $2.50.
Dr. Uhlhorn is favorably known on this side of the Atlantic by his able
and fascinating treatment of one of the most important chapters in
history, “The Conflict of Christianity with Heathenism.”
=The Life of Luther.= By JULIUS KOSTLIN, Professor
in the University of Halle. With more than 60
illustrations from original portraits, documents, etc.
1 vol. 8vo.
“At last we have a life of Luther which deserves the name.... The Herr
Kostlin, in a single well-composed volume, has produced a picture which
leaves little to be desired. A student who has read these six hundred
pages attentively will have no question left to ask.”—JAMES ANTHONY
FROUDE in _The Contemporary Review_.
=The Middle Kingdom.= A survey of the Geography,
Government, Literature, Social Life, Arts, and History
of the Chinese Empire and its inhabitants. With
illustrations and a new map of the Empire. By S. WELLS
WILLIAMS, D.D., LL.D. 2 vols. royal 8vo, $9.00.
This new issue of Dr. S. Wells Williams’s standard and important work,
“The Middle Kingdom,” is practically a new book. The text of the old
edition has been largely rewritten, and the work has been expanded so
as to include a vast amount of new material collected by Dr. Williams
during the later years of his residence in China, as well as the most
recent information regarding all the departments of the Empire.
=The Story of Roland.= By JAMES BALDWIN. With a series
of illustrations by R. B. Birch. 1 vol. square 12mo,
$2.00.
This volume is intended as a companion to “The Story of Siegfried.” As
“Siegfried” was an adaptation of Northern myths and romances to the
wants and understanding of young readers, so is this story a similar
adaptation of the Middle Age romances relating to Charlemagne and his
paladins.
=The Hoosier School-Boy.= By EDWARD EGGLESTON, author
of “The Hoosier School-Master,” etc. With full-page
illustrations. 1 vol. 12mo, $1.00.
“Those who have read ‘The Hoosier School-master’—and who has not?—will
feel that they must have this companion volume. Mr. Eggleston is a
writer of very charming stories of a peculiar character. His stories
always mean something, and are pervaded by a Christian tone of thought
and feeling.”—_Christian Secretary, Hartford._
=Mrs. Gilpin’s Frugalities.= Remnants, and 200 Ways of
Using Them. By SUSAN ANNA BROWN, author of “The Book of
Forty Puddings.” 1 vol. illuminated, $1.
This little volume, which in the range of cook-book literature occupies
a new and unoccupied field, aims to combat the spirit of wastefulness
that is the besetting sin of American housekeeping. Miss Brown provides
a multitude of receipts for transforming these remnants into savory and
nutritious _plats_, side dishes, entrees, etc. Some of these receipts
are from the French, but most of them are from the author’s own
experiments.
_These books are for sale by all book-sellers, or will
be sent, post-paid, on receipt of price._
