Schaff. History oftheChristianChurcli. By Philip
Schaff, D. D. Vole. 11., 111., from Constantine the
Great to Gregory the Great. Bvo.,pp. 1Q37. $7.50.
These volumes complete the distinguished au
thor’s History of Ancient Christianity, to which
his history of the Apostolic Church, also pub
lished by Scribner, formed the introduction; and
which it is his intention to follow with the his
tory of more Modern eras. The work, in fact,
is a translation, Dr. Schaff having, written the
greater part of it in German, in which* language
it appears simultaneously at Leipsio. Dr. Yeo
mans of Eochesterjhaß work of
translation, except in- some places which the au
thor himself wrote in English.
As to the character of the work itself, it is
scarcely necessary s to .repeat the favorable verdict
which its earlierportioris received from the Chris
tian public. The Narrative of the outward vicis
situdes of the Church is told with clearness, fair
ness and brevity. The character of Constantine
is drawn with discrimination. Nor .are the la
mentable inconsistencies into which the Church
fell in this era of worldly prosperity concealed
from view. Admirable is “The Downfall of
Heathenism,” §7. After the External History,
come, in separate chapters: The Literary Tri
umph of Christianity over Greek and Homan
Heathenism; Alliance of Church and State and
its inflnence on Public Morals and Religion; Mo
nasticism; The Hierachy and Polity of the-Church;
Church Discipline and Schisms; Public Worship
and Religious Customs and Ceremonies. The
second volume opens with a chapter on Christian
Art; but i 3 mainly occupied with- Theology, in
two general divisions: Development of the Ecu
menical Orthodoxy; Church Fathers and Theo
logical Literature.
In many respects, this must be regarded as the
best Church History accessible to English stu
dents. It combines the thoroughness and specu-
lative depth of Neander with the freshness and
vivacity,of Milman. It unites, : in other 1 wofds,
some of the bestqualities of German and of English
thinking and writing, which,rim; the department
of Church History have hitherto been found in
separate writers only. Its views of the relation
of the Church to human activity are broad, while
it grasps and vindicates with clearness and firm
ness the central truths of its inner life. No as
pect of modern- thought bearing upon his great
subject has escaped the observing glance of the
author. Even Tennyson is called in to give-beauty
and distinctness to the picture 'of St. Symeon
Stylites. But the strict scientific aim of the work
is never sacrificed for a-display of rhetoric or
learning. A living interest is made to pervade
every part. The fine instincts and noble sympa
thies of the writer not only fit him to present ad
equately the great characters whom he meets, but
' kindle the enthusiasm of his readers. The read-
ing of the history cannot be a mere-student’s job,
it is a rare enjoyment.
Besides the methodical arrangement of the ma
terials, they are rendered more accessible by an
Index.
Day. Elements of Logic, Comprising the Doctrine
of the Laws and Products of Thought and the
Doctrine of Method, together with a Logical
Praxis, designedTor.Cla-sesand for Private St,udy.'
By Henry N. Day,'author of “ Art of Rhetoric,”
“ Rhetorical Praxis,” &c. 12mo. pp. 237. $1.50.
We have here brought within the reach of
learners and teachers the results of modern specu
lation in the field of Logic; where perhaps greater
improvements of a practical sort have been made,
than in any department of philosophy. Sir Wm.
Hamilton's services in abolishing the barbarous
methods transmitted to us from the schoolmen,
and in further advancing the science, are fully re
cognized by the author and incorporated in his
work. Nor must we omit mention of his own
services in giving a more rigid exactness to the
science and in clearing of obscurity some of its im
portant and hitherto imperfectly understood de
partments. It marks a real advance in pedago
gical literature and we cannot doubt that it will
make its way into our higher schools of learning.
De Vere. Studies in English; or Glimpses of the
Inner Life of our Language. By M. Scheie de
Vere, LL. D., Professor of Modem Languages in
the University of Virginia. Crown Bvo. pp. 365.
82.50.
We owe this volume, it seems, to the fore
thought of the great Jefferson, who, in founding
the University of Virginia, made provision for a
course of Lectures on the Anglo Saxon by the
Professor of Modern Languages. The author has
for many years held this position, and has been
led to the production of the “Studies,” in which he
seeks to point out those topics which deserve most
attention and those methods which lead to a profit
able study on a historic basis. In an easy and
perspicuous style he treats of the Relations and
Elements of the English tongue, Latin in English,
English sounds, Orthography, and Accent, Names
of Places and of Men, How nouns are made, used
and abused, Adjectives and Pronouns, How we
count, Living words, Adverbs, Particles and
Shifting Letters. A vast amount of valuable in
formation, accessible, we think, no where else, is
conveyed in these chapters. The book must be
viewed as a step forward in the line of investiga
tion already pursued so successfully by Max
Mueller, Prof. Marsh and others. It is issued in
uniform style with Scribner’s Editions of Muel
ler’s Science of Language, on laid tinted paper,
and handsomely bound.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY,’ FEBRUARY'2B, 1867.
EDMUND KHIKE'S NEW TESTAMENT.
Kirke. The Life of Jesus, according to his original
Biographers. With- Notes by Edmund. Kirke.
Author of “ Among 'the Pines,” “ Patriot Boys,
and Prison Pictures,” Ac. Boston, Lee'A Shep
ard. 16mo. pp. 297.
This volume puts the rather sensational author
of “ Among the Pines” in a new and pleasing
light. It is the habits of
reading the New Testament, in which he was led
to arrange the four gospels into a single consecu
tive story, upon the plan of Robinson’s harmony.
Ministerial friends qn,feeipg. what
pared, solely for private use, strongly urged its
publication, and it now appears, with a few ex-;
planatory notes, and with'the language somewhat
modernized, though not radically altered, from
that of; our received. English ,;AU:such
undertakings on the part of our literary men are
tokens of good. They prove how deep is the in
terest felt in such circles ‘in the Life of Christ;
and they are calculated to interest a still wider
circle inC^hegreat;filets’of.Giiristiahity‘by present
ing them in fresh forms and under new names to
the public. . jl; j ;JA
The manner in which Mr. Kirke has accom
plished his work, for the most part, meets our
views. His alterations of the English version are
done. ~
decided imilimpfoveWeiitA where -Dives lint hell
(Hades,, says Mr. Kirke) speaks’of the end of
Lazarus’ finger, instead of the “tip,” as the old
version has it. The notes generally are real helps
briefly and judiciously ‘introduced; yet here we
observe that Lukeas accused-of an error in fact,
in the account of the healing of the blind man at
Jericho; & parallel 0 the lifsairens
at the baptism'of our Saviour, is found in Livy;
and the temptation’ik-positively resolved into a
symbolical representation of an internal experi
ence-of the S ( ayiour. So that while the superna
tural, in miracle or prophecy, is not questioned at
all, one feels that-the writer’stands father upon
the outer circles of Evangelical belief.
The paper, presswork, and binding of the vo
lume are exceedingly handsome.
Howitt. A Story of English Country-Life, by Wm
Howitt. Three English volumes in one. Pliila,
T. B. Peterson & Bros. 12tno. pp. 402. $2. -
In this work of fiction, the writer accomplishes
several purposes. Besides interesting and charm
ing the reader with his vivid descriptions of En
glish scenery, and stirring them with a first class
sensation, ctA* Miss Braddon, he instructs them
as to such English characters as may be found in
a decaying landed aristocracy .on the one hand,
and in a family rising on the other hand, from
pauperism to wealth by the honest lab A and tri
umphant energy of one of its members; he brings
forward his co-religionists, the Quakers, “best
foot foremost,” and last of all he inculcates his
own peculiar latitudinarian faith in the superna
tural. Of sensational novels, Mr:Mowitt’s l book
is probably among the very purest, and without
doubt it is something of pearl amid the fathomless
mass of rubbish which the people are silly enough
to buy and read, and which therefore, will never
want publishers. The green and gilt, binding of
Woodburn Grange is very. ; handsome.

American Libraries. —The historical library
of Mr. Peter Force is by far the most valuable
collection of books and manuscripts relating to
American history that has ever been brought to
gether by one person in this country. There is
a very large collection of the early American voy
ages; of early printed American books, every day
becoming rarer, there are ten times as many as in
the Congressional Library. Of the laws and jour
nals of the early colonial assemblies there are over
two hundred volumes, few of which have been re
printed, and none of which are in the Congres
sional Library. The Library of Congress has
not an American newspaper printed prior to 1789.
The Force Library has very complete files from
1735 to 1800, about-245 volumes. It has also
nearly 40,000 pamphlets relating to America, of
which 8,310 were printed prior to 1800. The
collection of atlases, maps, and plans relating to
America is absolutely unique. While the na
tional library has not a single autograph letter or
paper of our Revolutionary generals and states
men, the Force collection has forty-eight folio
volumes of rare and valuable autograph letters, be
sides various military journals, reports, private
journals of George Washington, Gen Green, Ar
thur Lee, Paul Jones, and two unpublished man
uscript works of Las Casas—in all 429 volumes.
There are also beside about 310 folio MS. volumes
of collections prepared by Mr. Force for his
“American Archives,” all copies of old papers,
the originals of which are in many cases now de
stroyed, This superb collection Mr, Force is
willing to sell to the Government for $lOO,OOO.
During the past year the Congressional library
received 7,251 volumes and about 600 pamphlets;
of the books 5,603 volumes were gained by pur
chase; 645, chiefly official documents, by gift;
167 by exchange, and only 836 by the operation
of the copyright law. The library now contains
99,650 volumes, exclusive of the 40,000 volumes,
more or less, of the Smithsonian Institute, which
are to be incorporated with it as a special deposit.

Early. English Language. —Mr. R. Mooris
has just published “Specimens of Early English,
selected from: the chief English Authors,LA- D.
1250—1400; with Grammatical Introduction,
Notes, and Glossary.” Mr. Morris has classified
thc 'specialties of the early dialects, under* the
he'ads'oPNorther'n, Midland, and Southern.' The
outlines of the Early English grammar are, how
ever, based on the Southern dialect only. To
each declension and conjugation is added the
Anglo-Saxon one from which it was degraded, so
that its origin is clearly seen. After treating all
the parts of speech, Mr. Morris introduces a set
of sentences as exercises on the grammar, and
then begins his specimens. These include passa
ges from every important work of the period, and
are very fully and correctly annotated, with a
complete glossary.
Ciiarles Dickens.— This very successful au

Boy at Mugby.”

'Jural Stuitmtui;.
BE GENTLE WITH TOUR STOCK.
I presume that no man of experience or
of observation will disagree with me, when
I assert that a quiet or gentle disposition
can be cultivated as well as bred, in most, if
not all domestic animals. Point me to a
man who loves his horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
and poultry, and I will show you a gentle,
quiet, orderly stock. On the contrary, show
me a bad tempered, unfeeling farmer, or
herdsman, and I will insure you kicking,
runaway horses, hooking unruly cattle, wild
and unquiet sheep and hogs. This is the
rule. There may be exceptions, but they
are few and far between. There are un
doubtedly cases in the management of
horses and cattle, where sharp and decided
discipline may be necessary and proper; but
the cases are rare aiid should be treated with
coolness and judgment, and hot as is gene
rally the case when under the influence of
passion. The model horseman oVliex-dsman,
when he goes into the stable, always has a
kind word for his horse, a gentle pat for his
neck, or a stroke over his head or nose. If
a horse is fond of his keeper, he likes to
smell of him and eat out of his hand. When
he goes to catch a horse from thepasture, he
takes an ear of corn or a handful of oats.
Ho never goes into the field where his ani
mals run, without having a talk with them.
Perhaps you. do not believe, doubting read
er, that dumb animals can understand hu
man language. Still they can, and you may
laugh at me if you are. so inclined, when I
assure you that I find vastly more enjoy
ment in talking with an intelligent horse
than in conversation with a human ninny.
I am not alone in the indulgence of these
“ beastly ” tastes. Some of the wisest and
best of'our'race have, at times, reckoned it
among their greatest enjoyments to mingle
with their flocks and herds. One of the
greatest minds the world ever produced, the
“ God-like Daniel,” was never so happy as
when sauntering among his Alderneys and
his Devons. Who. doubts that his animals
were.quiet and peaceable? I have some
what wandered from my text, but my aim
has been to show that if we love our domes
tic animals, we shall bc kind and gentle with
them, ,Und that such treatment generally be
gets, a,like disposition in them. On the con
trary, a mail who rarely goes near his horse
or cow without an angry word or a kick,
generally has bad tempered and unruly ani
mals. It is easy to show that such treat
ment is unprofitable, as well as inhuman.
All dairymen will bear me out in the asser
tion that a' quiet/gentle milker gets one
third more milk than one who kicks and
pounds his cows about. A kind and humane,
teamster, whp loves and takes good. care;(of
; hm.team, will do more work in the lo'nga-un;
with much less of wear and • tear, tb.anjdhe
ill tempered cur who overdrives and abuses
lhis horses. How mean and unmanly; as well
as'unwise, to let our’temper have vent upon
the poot innocent creatures whom God, in
His providence, has placed under our con
trol! When He decreed that man should
“ have dominion over the fish of the sea and
over the fowls of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,” he did not design
that he should play the tyrant, or abuse the
Responsibility thus imposed upon him; but
that he should so act as to hasten the happy
period when “ the wolf also shall dwell with
the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down
with I 'the kid, and the calf and the young
lion and the fatling together, ,and ,a li ; .ttie
child shall lead them.” If this peaceable
epoch shall ever ,be brought about it will be
through human instrumentality, when men
shall, cultivate ■ peace not only among-na
tions, States and communities, but. in their
own households. and farm-yards.— H P.-8.,
