Vtar's CaMt. Sint/D.—HOMILETICS AND PASTORAL THEOT.OOY. By William G. T. Shedd, D.D., Baldwin Professor in Union Theological Seminary, New York City. Published by Charles Scribner Sr Co., New Yo k. This volume embodies the bulk of the lectures delivered by Dr. Shedd while a Professor in Au burn Seminary, together with Essays printed in the .American Presbyterian and Pheologie . al Review. Differing in origin, they agree in a common pur pose, and in the masterly power with which the subjects are treated. They are thoughtful, sug gestive and complete. Dr. Shedd finds the power of the preacher, not in any formal preparation for his work, but in the apprehension of positive Christian truth in the Word of God. With this as an inspiring and guiding power, he can rise to sincerity, eloquence and beauty as a pulpit orator. The part of the book assigned to Pastoral The ology is briefer than the * other, but not less weighty. It is the result of deep study, if not of wide experience, and will deserve attention. As to the mechanical execution of the book we regret that its wide margins, and fine execu tion, will put it beyond the reach of many who wolild profit by its perusal. We think it: de - - serves the honor of a cheap edition. JAMES.—The Bankrupt Law of the United States. 1867. With Notes of American and English de cisions upon the Principles and Practice of the Law of Bankruptcy, adapted to the use of the Lawyer and the Merchant. By Edwin James, of the New York Bar, and one of the framers of the recent English "Bankruptcy Amendment Act." Bvo. Pp. 325. Harper & Brothers, publishers. New York. For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co. The method of right legislation on the subject of bankruptcy is one of the most difficult of prob lems. The old English laws on the subject were purely barbarous, though not so bad as the Ro man, which punished the offence with slavery. The U. S. acts of 1800 and 1841 were both fail ures, as neither of them secured the great object of discharging the honest but unfortunate debtor upon the complete surrender of his property, and at the same time of protecting the creditor . against dishonesty in the debtor. The law of 1867, it is hoped, will work better. It is here given by Mr. James (formerly of the English bar) with copioug.bolleetion of cases and,decis ions under each section. The work will no doubt rank as a classic:among' the lawyers, bUt is of interest, and intelligible, to others; as for instance, pastors on $lOOO a year and editors whose -Sib scribers wont pay up. LONGFELLOW.—Th e - Poetical Werks of'Henry WO' de worth Longfellow. Complete Edition.tPp. 361. sq., 16:no. Boston : Ticknor & Fields, 1867. Price This. Diamond Edition of Longfellow is (as our Irish friends say) "a jewel of a book"—fitly bound in the green of unaffected nature,,and the. gold of the thirty years of poetic sunlight that lie between its covers. _Longfellow has taken a stronger hold of the American people, as a whole, than any other of our poe.s. • Lowell has more concentration, wit and ethical power : Whittier more of • the fire and ring,of , a great lyrist. But these affect rather a class, while he reaches the whole Mass of men,—cultured and uncultured alike—appealing to feelings the most universal. From the publication of the Psalm of Life, in 1839, up to the present, his works have comman ded the public ear and many will hail with pleasure the appearance of this exquisite bijou edition of his whole works, while awaiting his Dante. TEGNE.2.--FRITIIIOF ' S SAGA, from the Swedish of Esaias Tegner, Bishop of Wexiti, By. Rev. Wm. L. Blackley, A.M. First American Edition edited by Bayard. Taylor. Pp. xxviii : 201. Published by Leypoldt & Holt, New York. The relics of the old Norse Literature, which date from before - the introduction of Ohristianity into Scandinavia, forma subject of study of the, most absorbing interest. The Sagas , and Eddas, in which these are embodied, attracted attention in the great revival of national feelings, when the Lutheran Reformation pervaded Sweden, but their study - sank - into a newpedantry. When a sim ila.r revival took place after the French Revolution, tbey were studied in a spirit at once mcire' critical and sympathetic; and Grundvigt and Ohlen schlager in Denmark embodied their studies in original poems, of acknowledged merit. Tegner, the Swede, ranks below neither of these, and in his Frith iof's Saga, we have the most characteristic work of the most popular of Swedish poets. The good Bishop is already known through Longfel low's beautiful rendering of his "Children of the Lord's Supper ;" and of the "Saga," which. is founded on the old Norse poem, four English edi tions have already appeared. The present is most conformable to the sense and metre of the original. The theme is the adventures of a great vik-ing (or "bays-man," not "sea-king") on sea and land, among gods and men. CARLETON DAVIES.—How - TO MAKE MONEY AND How TO KEEP IT. By Thomas H. Davies, Author of i" Cosmogony, or Mysteries of Creation," and "Answer to Hugh Miller and Geologists." Pp. 322. Published by G. W. Carleton ,gr, Co., New York. For sale by T. B. Peterson & Co., Philadelphia. The subordinate duties of life are worthy of our consideration as well as the principal. One of them—' to provide for one's own,'.! is discussed in this book with a goad deal of keen insight, and in a way that miy be instructive to many. The radical defect of the book is that it embraces only oue side of the question; "..Hoi to spend which is the most difficult question, not being , touched on. Had'he gone farther- than - he did; THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY '2, 1867. he must have gone higher. The spending must of necessity involve moral principles, and these our author has systematically ignored. PROMETHEUS IN ATLANTIS : A Prophecy of the Ex tinction of the Christian Civilization. Published by G. W. Carleton & Co., New York. For sale by T. B. Peterson & Co., Philadelphia. Some Southerner, crazed by the logic of events,' and suffering under a night-mare brought on by swallowing Johnson's Dictionary and Hegel's Metaphysics, here rushes into print in a style that will astonish most readers. Every other word is Greek or Latin, every tenth is a new coinage. The fall of slavery is to him the de struction of civilization, and the Emancipation Proclamation necessitates a reconstruction of the universe. Like some things a great deal better, it passeth. all understanding, and may best be described in the sublime climax of its hero : " Powers of darkness [and obscurity] ! how long have I wrestled with you, but now you have me on the hip."

They are (so far as we can judge) lively and interesting, and are not marked by denominational peculiari ties. The first of the foul. is an English stofy of American life. The illustrations are good and the style of their getting up very creditable. VINCENT.—TWO years with Jesus : First year. His toric putlines, 'Journeys, and Miracles.

I have never derived greater pleasure ow the receipt of money in my life;"—as if this were the only occasion on which American publishers have dealt generously with him.--A translation of Dante's " Inferno' by Dr. Theophilus W.

Ed ward McPherson, Clerk of the U. S. House of Representatives, announces that he has in press a "Political 'Manual for 1367," which will take up our political history where his last manual ended, July 4, 1866, and carry it . down to April 1 of the current year, or the end of the late session of Congress.

The Marquis of Lorne, eldest son and heir of the Duke of Argyle, having paid' a hasty visit, last year, to the West Indies and the United States, has written a book about 'it, called, "A Trip to the Tropics, and Home through America." In Jamaica; he (grandson of Mrs. Stowe's Dueless of Sutherland) was evidently under the influence of the anti-negro party.

His tone is good; without undue partisan feeling; and yet favorable to the great people with whom we have so many ties." Mr. Hepworth • Dixou's " New Ameri ca" has gone into a sixth edition.

Moffat's Life Pills and Phenix Bitters were first used in private practice in 1825. They were introduced to the public in ISM, since which time their reputation has extended. until they have a sale in excess of all other Cathartic and Purifying Medicines. There is hardly a family among civilized nations who have not personal evidence of their beneficial effects. Their great success is owing to their uniform reliability in cases of Constipation, Bilious and Stomachic diseases, whether of long or short duration. They are entirely vegetable in their composition, and harmless to the gentlest infant. One ingredient opens the pores of the skin; another is diuretic; aid stimulates rirOper'actiott 'cif the kidneys; a third is emollient, lossening phlegm and humor from the lungs; other properties are warming and cathartic, and cleanse the stomach and bowels from all unhealthy secretions. Their combined effort is, to regulate the impaired functions of the system, and to produce health. It is not asserted Moffat's PIUS are a cure-all—that they will cure all complaints—but under ordinary circumstances they may be relied upon to cure Nervous and Sick Headache, Costive-, news, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Jaundice, Liver and Bilious Complaints, Colds, Scurvy; General Weakness, &c.
