Newman Smyth’s Reply to Joseph Cook.
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.
