Bremen Lectures.
On Fundamental, Living, Religious Questions by various eminent European
Divines. Translated by REV. D. HEAGLE, with an Introduction by REV.
ALVAH HOVET, D.D., President of Newton Theological Institution. Of this
volume, as touching some of the great religious questions of the day,
the translator well says it would be difficult to find another work
wherein is included in so brief compass so much of that which with the
present helps from science and thought, should be said on these several
themes. _Third edition. 12mo_, $1.50.
China.
By ROBT. K. DOUGLAS, of the British Museum, and Professor of Chinese at
King's College, London, with revisions by Yan Phou Lee. The latest
addition to Lothrop's Library of Entertaining History, and a work which
is not only graphic and interesting in style and matter, but which bears
the marks of authenticity and scholarship on every page. _12mo, cloth,_
$1.50.

Cookery for Beginners.
By MARION HARLAND, author of "Common Sense in the Household," etc.

favorite gift book from mother to daughter, and well deserves a place on
