=Dorner on the Future State.=
Translated and edited with an Introduction. By NEWMAN SMYTH,
D.D., author of “Old Faiths in a New Light,” “The Orthodox
Theology of To-day,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
This is a faithful translation of that part of Dr. Dorner’s
“System of Christian Doctrine” which relates to the future
state of the soul; with an introduction and Notes by Dr.
Newman Smyth. The object of the book is to set forth clearly
and accurately the views of the great German theologian
on a subject of highest interest and importance, wherein
he has been strangely misrepresented in this country, and
particularly by the Rev. Joseph Cook, in his recent lectures
on Future Probation.
=In the Desert.=
By REV. HENRY M. FIELD, D.D., author of “From the Lakes of
Killarney to the Golden Horn,” and “From Egypt to Japan.” 1
vol. crown 8vo, with a map, $2.
This volume is the account of a journey in the track of the
Israelites. All of Dr. Field’s powers of observation and
description are brought into play in this book, which will
undoubtedly prove the most delightful popular narrative of
travels in the desert of Mount Sinai that has ever been
written.
=Ice-Pack and Tundra.=
An Account of the Search for the _Jeannette_ and a Sledge
Journey Through Siberia. By WILLIAM H. GILDER, correspondent
of the New York _Herald_, with the Rodgers Search
Expedition; author of “Schwatka’s Search.” 1 vol, 8vo, with
maps and illustrations, $4.
Mr. Gilder’s experience as an arctic traveler, and his
skill in the description of his journeys, have now given
him a reputation as one of the highest authorities on polar
expeditions. His new book is an account of the voyage
of the _Rodgers_, her discoveries and destruction; with
the thrilling personal narrative of his own solitary and
perilous journey of more than five thousand miles through
the Siberian wastes. The whole story of the _Jeannette_ is
given from its papers and the accounts of survivors. It will
be seen that the volume possesses an extraordinary interest.
=Life of Lord Lawrence.=
By R. BOSWORTH SMITH, M.A. With maps and portraits. 2 vols.,
8vo, $5.
This book contains the most vivid, full and authentic
account of the suppression of the Indian Mutiny, from the
point of view of one of the great actors in Indian affairs,
and from sources never hitherto open to the public. It
is also the life of one of the most heroic and genuine
characters of the times in which we live. Lord Lawrence is
known to his contemporaries as the savior of the Indian
Empire to the crown during the mutiny of 1857, and as the
singularly able and energetic Governor-General of India in
more recent times. Little, comparatively, has been known
of his personal character and relations, since he had the
modesty of a truly great man in all that concerned his own
achievements. Mr. Bosworth Smith has given in his biography,
a record worthy of its subject. He has written with a noble
enthusiasm, and his book, in genuine human interest, in
historical importance, and in literary workmanship, is not
second to any biography that has appeared in recent times.
