"Dr. von Holst represents Calhoun as being a more important and more interesting statesman than Webster or Clay, because he was the representative of an idea the slavery idea. Although he has no sympathy with the slave system or the politics of its supporters, he presents a review of the slavery question that takes into very serious consideration a good many matters that American political writers of the present day find it convenient to ignore or forget."

The series will consist of ten or twelve volumes, each devoted to the critical exposition of some one masterpiece of German philosophy. The aim will be to furnish a clear statement of the original author's argument, to interpret and elucidate it by reference to the historic and acknowledged results of philosophic inquiry, to give an independent estimate of merits and deficiencies, and especially to show, as occasion may require, in what way German thought contains the natural complement or the muchneeded corrective, of British speculation.

"The sketch of the Royal Academy Exhibition-the pictures, the visitors, the criticisms-under the altered condition of things, is a small miracle of cleverness.

The second volume covers, most satisfactorily, the interesting and important period of the Louisiana purchase, the embargo, and the war of 1812. The strong points of the first volume--its realism, its close use of contemporary periodical literature, and its attention to the personality of the actors on the public stage-are even further developed in this volume."-Nation.

"Mr. Schouler enters in detail into the social and economical life of the people; their recreations; their habits of thought and action; their municipal arrangements; the character and influence of the immigration; the influence of classes and families upon the mass of voters; the difficulties of intercommunication; and the provincial peculiarities of the newspapers and other sources of popular information.

And the result is a book which, though very far from perfection, is in many respects the most real history of the United States yet produced."-Nation.

SKEAT, Rev. Walter W. A concise etymological dictionary of the English language. N. Y., Harper, 1882. 12+616 p. D. cl., $1.25. "Mr. Skeat's work appears in two quite different forms. The English one is much fuller-giving the history of the growth of the word and references to the early authors who used it. The American one is abridged by the author, and the system of arrangement changed, derivative forms being classified under the leading type with cross-references, and it is a little cheaper. On the other hand it omits a good deal that is valuable in the other edition, not only of history and quotation, but of etymology-so much that its usefulness is rather for the younger student than for the finished scholar."-Boston Advertiser.

"A rapid sketch of Longfellow's career artfully interwoven with an estimate of his position in the history of American letters, an analysis of his important productions, and much acute criticism upon his poems as they successively present themselves in the course of the story. This combination of narrative and comment is the true method of literary biography, and when it is well done, as it is here, the result is always interesting."-New York TribBost.,

THE VALUE OF A GOOD LIBRARIAN.-The income of the London Institution in 1874, the late librarian's first year of office, was £3080 14s. 8d.; in 1881-2, his last year, it was £4247 4s. 2d., an increase of 37 per cent.

IT has been thought that very few books have come to America from the late London auctions. It is now stated, however, that among the 3000 v. received by the Hartford Theological Seminary, the past year, a considerable number were from the Sunderland Collection.

LAST February the librarian of the Philadelphia Library Company addressed to Dr. J. M. Toner the following suggestive note: "My Dear Doctor, I want you to come and see our new fire-proof building, costing $800,000. We have room for 400,000 volumes, and an endowment to administer it. Accordingly we have no hesitation in inviting contributions from collectors. Give us your collection and your portrait, and we will call it the Toner Library, and keep it together.'

Unluckily for the Ridgway Library, Dr. Toner showed this to the Librarian of Congress, who remarked, "The offer is a fair one, Doctor, but the Library of Congress will do as well for you, I know." The spoken made a deeper impression than the written word. In May Dr. Toner offered to the Library of Congress his collection of books, pamphlets, and mss., numbering between 20,000 and 25,000, and requiring about 4000 linear feet of shelving, on condition that it be kept together, known as the "Toner collection," and made accessible to the public, and that he shall enjoy the priv ilege of making additions to the collection from time to time, and also of providing for its perpetual increase. It consists chiefly of medical works, and general and local American histories; publications relating to our climate and diseases; biographies of medical men (printed and in mss.), and works on the history of medicine in America from the settlement of the country to the end of the first half century of our national existence. This historical collection, which is particularly rich in the early literature of small-pox, yellow fever, cholera, and other epidemics, is thought to be second to none in the country. It is hardly necessary to say that the gift was accepted by Congress on the conditions proposed. It is to be regretted that the Library of Congress is now in such crowded quarters that there is absolutely no room in which properly to bestow and arrange this generous gift, the first example of the gift of a library to the nation.

the Oxford Movement.

By T. MOZLEY, formerly Fellow of Oriel. 2 vols., crown 8vo, $3.

The Oxford movement was not only one of the most important in the religious history of England, but so many famous men were conspicuous in it that it had a remarkable personal as well as historic interest. Newman, Pusey, Keble, and many other notable men figure in Mr. Mozley's engaging "Reminiscences," which are full of anecdotes and recollections that will be read with nearly as great zest in America as in England. Mr. Mozley was for years one of the leading writers on the London Times, and his book is crowded with interesting facts and glimpses of interesting people.
