Energy, Efficient and Final Cause.
(Philosophic Series, No. II.) By James McCosh, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol., 12mo, paper, 50 cents.
“It is not unlikely to prove true in the end that the most useful popular service which Dr. McCosh has rendered to the cause of right thinking and to a sound philosophy of life is his proposed “Philosophic Series,” the first number of which, ‘Criteria of Diverse Kind of Truth as Opposed to Agnosticism,’ we have perused with great satisfaction.”—The Independent.

Socrates.
A Translation of the Apology, Crito, and parts of the Phædo of Plato. An introduction by Professor W. W. Goodwin, of Harvard University. 1 vol., 12mo. A new and cheaper edition, paper, 50 cents.
This volume offers a new translation of the parts of Plato which are most essential to an understanding of the personal character and the moral position of Socrates, and includes a famous specimen of Plato’s own speculations on one of the grandest subjects.
“We do not, at the moment, remember any translation of a Greek author which is a better specimen of idiomatic English than this, or a more faithful rendering of the real spirit of the original into English as good and as simple as the Greek.”—N. Y. Evening Post.
