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.

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;

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

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."

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. They are expressly made
for these diseases, Millions upon millions of cures can be cited
In no single instance has a complaint ever come to our knowledge,
where they have not operated as recommeneed.

care exercised in filling our order, persuaded as I am, even from
