=Pastor Naudié's Young Wife.= By ÉDOUARD ROD. Translated from the
French by BRADLEY GILMAN. 12mo. Cloth. $1.25.
M. Rod's new novel is a study of French Protestantism, and its
scene is laid in La Rochelle and Montauban, the two Huguenot
strongholds. It was first published in the "Revue des Deux Mondes,"
and at once achieved success. "M. Rod's work," says Edmund Gosse in
the "Contemporary Review," "whether in criticism or fiction, always
demands attention." "The Catholics," says a writer in "Literature,"
"praise the book because they find in it arguments against their
adversaries; the Protestants, while protesting that the author,
because he writes in the clerical _Gaulois_, is none of theirs, read
it to discover personal allusions to their spiritual guides."
=The Kinship of Souls. A Narrative.= By REUEN THOMAS. 12mo. Cloth,
extra. $1.50.
The author of this work is well known through his connection with
the ministry. The volume gives an account of a trip made by a
philosophical professor, his intellectual daughter, and a young
theological student, including descriptions of various portions of
England and Germany visited by the persons of the narrative. The
undogmatic way in which the author discusses theology and philosophy
will interest the serious-minded.

WILLIAM HENRY JOHNSON. 12mo. Cloth, extra. $1.50.

France.
