An Honorable Surrender.
By Mary Adams. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
“‘An Honorable Surrender’ is a healthful, breezy, American romance, not abounding in incidents or dramatic situations, but clever and readable on every page. For the writer knows human nature well, and looks on the sunny side of it; while her literary style is pure, graceful, and polished. It is some time since we have read so bright a little novel.”—Phila. Bulletin.

Dorner on the Future State.
Being a Translation of the Section of his System of Christian doctrine, comprising the Doctrine of the Last Things. With an Introduction and Notes. By Newman Smyth, D.D., author of “Old Faiths in New Light,” “The Orthodox Theology of To-day,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
“The present book is only one of the series of treatises which Dorner has written; but it contains most of the distinctive views by which he is best known. It is an attempt in plain words to bring the doctrine of Christian eschatology into harmony with the best knowledge and the best thought of the age.... It brings theology into harmony with man’s deepest longings, and bathes its rugged logical corners with the melting tenderness of Divine love.”—N. Y. Tribune.
