/LLETr. History of the Presbyterian Church
in the - United States •of.A-America. By E.
H. Gillett, author of 'Life and Times of
John Russ. Vol. I, 11. Philadelphia: Pres
byterian Publication Committee. Large
12 me. pp. 576,,605. With Index. Price
$5.
After many partial and fragmentary
attempts by individuals, presbyteries,
and general assemblies, renewed through
if, long course of years, but, all summed
together, totally inadequate to and un
worthy of the subject, we at length
have in these two volumes, a just, sys
tematic and satisfactory account' of
ithe century and three quarters of
.American Presbyterianism. It is a
great work, worthy of the author of
.the Life and Times of John Huss ; and
.the Presbyterian . Publication Committee
may point to it with just pride as their
chef d'oeuvre, fit to lead their list, and
assuring to the churches who are look.
ing for substantial fruits of the Endow.
ment Fund just placed in the Commit
tee's hands.
Commencing with a sketch of the
Presbyterian element in the early set
tlers of New England, the author soon
comes to the career of the ardent and
indefatigable Irish pioneer of Presby
terianism in America, Francis Make
znie ; gives the rise of the first Presby
tery in 1706, of the Synod in 1717, the
history of the adopting act of 1729, of
the division of 1741, and reunion of '5B;
then passes in rapid, animated review,
the progress of the churohin different
States—Virginia, the Carolinas, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania,. Maryland
and Virginia (again), the Carolinas,
(again), New York, Kentucky, Tennes
see, Pennsylvania (again), NeW Jer
sey (again), interweaving meanwhile
those general surveys of, various periods
of the chum)), which give unity to what
would otherwise be a distracting kaleid
oscope ofisolated facts. the first
volume, besides the history in the above
named States, contains chapters on the
Synods and their Schools ; the General
Assembly from its rise, to 1815', and
the church in the revolutionary period
from 1755 to 1788. The second volume
'earriee' on
,the, history in the different
States and the church at large, up to
1830, when the period from 1830 to 1837,
times under review in a long.and im
portant chapter; another chapter is
given to the assemblies of 1837 and '3B;
one to the "Results of the Division,"
and a final chapter to the "Two Assam ,
blies." The latter and more delicate
part of Dr. Gillett's task is performed
in a kindly, catholic spirit, yet with a
firm regard to the interests of the truth
involved in those years of painful strug
gle*.
We have thus the materials for esti
mating the peculiar character, influence
and. destiny of the American Presbyte
rian church, as we have never had them
befme. Dr. Gillett's history. is not- a
philosophy, nor is it a partisan and con
troversial book; but it is a clear, con,
fleeted, and conscientiously full and
accurate volume. Every locality in
which Presbyterianism in our'country
had gained a foothold, before the divi
sion, will feel a special interest in the
work as a' repository of a the most im
portant facts of the church's history
there. It should be carried by colpor
tours and agents to every Presbyterian
threshold in the land. We design
giving it a more careful notice in our
columns.
GROUT. Zulu-Land ; or, Life among the
Zulu-Kafirp of Natal and Zulu-Land,
South Africa. With map and illustrations
largely from Original Photographs. By
Rev. Lewis Grout, for fifteen years.mis
sionary of the American Board in South
Africa. Author of the " Grammar of the
Zulu Language," and corresponding
member of the American Oriental Society.
Philadelphia : Presbyterian Publication
, Committee. 12 mo. pp. 351.
A new and interesting field for narra
,tive and description opens in the por
tion of South Africa treated of in this
rbeau_tiful volume. The fifteen years of
; Mr. Grout's sojourn ,among the Zulus
have been put to good purpose. The
mature results of his 'observation, read
'lug and scholarship are told in graphic.
yle. The thorough acquaintance and
mpathy with his subject which .a de
, ed missionary is, of all other persons,
sin to acquire, is abundently shown
ho narrative. His .own experiences
pioneer missionary'; the history of
„people, so far as known; the geog
,aly, topography, geology, fauna and
b‘a, climate, nocturnal heavens; the
pearance, manners and customs, lan
age, superstitions and character of
e natives; missions among the Zulus
d present state of affairs in Zulu-land
e ably and instructively treated by
he writer. The volume forms an im
, )4
ortant addition to our knowledge of
be human family, especially in its re
. tion to the gospel as an aggressive
rower.
The illustrations are accurate and
legant, conveying correct ideas of the
;mote people and country which they
represent.
COLLIER. The Dawn of Heaven, or the Prin
ciples of the Heavenly Life applied to the
Earthly. By the lath Re Jos. A. Collier
of Kingston, N. Y., with a trief biograph
ical sketch of the author. New York:
Robert Carter and Bros. 12 mo. pp. 305.
With portrait. Philadelphia : Wm. S. &
A. Martien.
The author, of the larger part of this
volume, a minister of marked spiritual
ity and Christian loveliness; in the. Re
formed Dutch Chnich, known as.the
thor of a number of practical works, as:
" The Christian Home," " The Young
Men of the Bible," tittle Prowns and
how to win them,"
_and, " Pl9asapt
Paths for little Feet," recently fell, a
victim to an insidious: and protracted
disease, during which he visibly-ripened
for heaven, growing in 'patience, faith
and resignation and in the general spir
ituality of his character. " His faith
seemed to see the King, in his beanty,and
to bring near the land that is very far off:
This book, The. Dawn of Heaven,' is , the
ripe frtiit of these celestial commUnings,
presentinT the thoughts of his holiest
moments, and the 'hallowed resifts of
his nearest approaches to God." It is a
privilege to read the productions of a
noble and cultivated in tellect,thus drawn
` , within the effulgence of the eternal world
and imparting some of its beauty and
brightness to the written page. The
deeply spiritual views of the writer are
so expressed as.to bear upon the practi
cal earthly life, and to impress it with
the principles which shall make it the
introduction to the heavenly. It can
not be read but with deeep' profit and
delight by every one aspiring after a
larger measure of heavenly-mindedness
in the daily, life. The externalS are
very beautiful.
LANGE'S "BIBELWERK;
LANGE.--SCHAFF. A Commentary on the
Holy Scriptures; Critical; Doctrinal and
Homiletical, with Special Reference to
Ministers and Student& By John Peter
Lange, D.D, Professor of Theology in the
University of Bonn. In connection with
a number of Eminent European Divines.
Translated from the German,, and Edited
. with Additions original and selected, By
Philip. Schaff, D.D, in connection with
American Divines of"various Evangelical
Denominations. Vol. 1., of. the New l'es
tament ; containing a general, ..Introdue
tion and the Gospel according to Mattlifqi.
New York: Chas. Scribner. Royal Bvo.
pp. 568. For Sale by J. B. Lippincott &
Co.. • aaamaz.
From the very first announcement of
this great and comprehensive work in
Germany we have cherished the wish
that it might be brought within the
reach of all classes of Biblical students
in our own country. It is with no corn-
Mon gratification therefore that we an
nounce the first instalment of an Amer
ican edition in the goodly volume before
us. •In plan and in execution, this
Commentary exceeds any that have
ever appeared. More than a hundred
years agq, , a work on a similar plan was
executed by a learned German, named
Starke, but this of Lange's exceeds it
in genius and geniality, besides having
far richer stores of materials from
which to dra 7 w. "The time," says the
highly accomplished American editor,
in his introductory on Epochs of Exege
sis, "has now arrived for the preparation
of a comprehensive theological com
mentary, which , shall satisfy all the
theoretical and practical demands of
the evangelical ministry of, the present
generation, and serve as a complete
exegetical library -for constant refer
mace; a commentary learned, yet.popu
lar, orthodox and sound, yet unsecta
rian, liberal and truly catholic in spirit
and aim : combining with original re
search the most valuable results of the
exegetical labors of the past and pres
ent, and making them available for the
practical use of ministers and the gen
eral good of the church. Such a com
mentary can be successfully wrought
out only at such a fruitful period of
biblical research as the present, and by
an association of experienced divines,
equally distinguished for ripe scholar
ship and sound piety, and fully compe
tent to act as mediator between the
severe sciences of the professional chair,
and the practical duties of the pastoral
office." ItO needless to say that the
editor in these words is felicitously and
truthfully describing the work he is
thus bringing within reach of the
American -public.
In the limits of a brief notice like
the present, it is 'impossible fairly to
present the meritorious characteristics,
or convey an idea of the richness of
the work. - It may be regarded as a
lucidly composed and arranged cyclope
dia of exegetical, doctrinal and homi
letical theology. A thorough acquaint
ance with it might well be accepted as
a sufficient preparation for the regular
work of the pastoral office. Certainly
the careful study and mastering of such
a commentary,wonld insure that degree
of fitness which is based
.upon intimate
familiarity with the spirit, scope and
meaning of the Scriptures.
The introductory portion of the work
including Dr. Schaff's preface, are them
selves treatises of great value. They
include, A General Introduction to the
Holy Scriptures, A General and Special
Introduction to the New Testament,
PHILADELPHIA; THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1864.
General Homiletical Introduction, In
troduction to the Gospel of Matthew.
The body of the work includes Exegeti,
cal and Critical Notes on the original
text; Doctrinal and Ethical remarks;
and Suggestions of rare valve and
evangelical freshness and i9gertuityto
Preachers, Called "Homiletical and
Practical." The tone .of the ,book is
such as to be acceptable to all evangeli
cal Christians and humble believers. in
the divine authority and inspire.tion.of
the Scriptures, with more or less Leaning
to the Established churches 0f,.. Ger
many. Dr. Lange himself, with Dr.
Van (Esterzee, a distinguished chap?,
pion of orthodoxy in - Holland, takes
the leading part .in the work, homing
many able coadjutors; while in this
country, Dr. Schaff is aided by such
men as Prof. Shedd of Union Seminary,
Drs. Yeotnans and Kendrick of Roches
ter; Dr. Schiffer of Philadelphia; Dr.
Poor of Newark ; Dr. Lillie of Kings
ton; Rev. C. C. Starbuck of New York,
and Rev.'J. Isidor Momberf; Lancaster

The present volume contains only the
Gospel of Matthew. ThO entire New
Testament, except Rom an s, Epistles
of John and the Revelation, and of the

it laraeticable very generally to possess

CLEVELAND. The Poetical Works. of .John
John
Milton ; with a life of the Anther, Pre
liminary Dissertations_ on each Poem;
Notes Critical and EXplatiatory"; an Index
to the subject of — Paradise Lost ; and a
Verbal [ride's to all the Poems. BY Chas. :
Dexter Cleveland:. Author ,of the; Com
pendium of _English, American and Classi
cal Literature. Philadelphia: Frederick
Leypoldt.. Bio. Pp. 688:
A work of great labor and of perma
nent value. The learned and scholarly
editor has been_ 'but too content to ap
pear in that sullordinate. character;
having given us in large measure a se
lection from the criticisms of others,,
and an improvement upoii the work of
others rather than his own. It would
more powerfully impress upon us the
the living, actual influence of Milton if
some living commentator would embody'
the impressions made by his matchless
poems upon the modern mind.
Prof. Cleveland however especially
disclaims origin ality, and must be cre
dited with entire success in his effort to
furnish an edition critical enough for
the scholar, full enough for the general
reader, beautiful enough for the table
of the opulent, and yet not too dear for
the school room and the dwellings of
persons of limited means. the Indexes
are exceedingly full, and great pains
have been taken to secure an accurate
text.
WILLIAMS. A Year in China ; and a Narra
tive of Capture and Imprisonment, when
Homeward bound; ron board the Rebel
A sprightly narrative of fresh and
varied interest by one who, as wife of
the American Commissioner at Swatow
possessed unusual facilities for gaining
information. A novel4page is opened
in the Literature of Modern Travels,
where the capture of the writer on
board:the Jaciib Bell, by Rebel Pirates
is, so graphically desoribed. The writer
is influenced by truly Christian sympa
thies and introduces the Missionaries
and their work in the tone of sincere
friendship and admiration. The im
primatur of Mr. Bryant could hardly be
needed to give currency to a volume
which has such decided elements of
popularity. The exterior is very at
tractive.
Poetry.—Our neighbor across the
street, Mr. Frederick. Leypoldt, is the
Philadelphia publisher of Sir Edward
Buller Lytton's translation of the
‘, Poems and Ballads of Schiller." The
present volUme is the translator's own
revision of his former translation, made
as he tells us, with the advantage of ten
years' additional acquaintance with
Schiller, , au well as with the subtleties
of the language he employed. Many of
the translations have been wholly re
wrjtten' and most of them carefully re
touched.
Appleton & Co., New York, have
brought out Lyra Anglica,na,, a churchly
compilation by Rev. George T. Rider,
M. A., selected from English writers, in
cluding in free' measure' he old English,
such as -Vaughn, Quarles, Herbert &
Crashaw. For later hymnology, the
compiler, draws largely upon the Keble
School. The feature of the work is the
arrangement—the topics following the
order of the Apostle's creed. In this
volume the sentiment has not didsained
the adventitious aid of material drapery.
The printing and binding are beautiful,
and, the illustrated initial letters and
tail pieces take their designs from the
subject.
