This volume embraces a discussion of the evidences of both natural and
revealed religion, and prominence is given to topics having special
interest at present from their connection with modern theories and
difficulties. Professor Fisher’s learning, skill in argument, and
power of language have given him the position of one of the foremost
defenders of the faith now living, and this volume will be useful to
many in clearing up perplexities and throwing new light upon the nature
of the Christian faith and its relation to modern thought.

=The Life of Luther.= By JULIUS KOSTLIN, Professor
in the University of Halle. With more than 60
illustrations from original portraits, documents, etc.
1 vol. 8vo.
“At last we have a life of Luther which deserves the name.... The Herr
Kostlin, in a single well-composed volume, has produced a picture which
leaves little to be desired. A student who has read these six hundred
pages attentively will have no question left to ask.”—JAMES ANTHONY
FROUDE in _The Contemporary Review_.
=The Middle Kingdom.= A survey of the Geography,
Government, Literature, Social Life, Arts, and History
of the Chinese Empire and its inhabitants. With

This new issue of Dr. S. Wells Williams’s standard and important work,
“The Middle Kingdom,” is practically a new book. The text of the old
edition has been largely rewritten, and the work has been expanded so
as to include a vast amount of new material collected by Dr. Williams
during the later years of his residence in China, as well as the most
recent information regarding all the departments of the Empire.
=The Story of Roland.= By JAMES BALDWIN. With a series
of illustrations by R. B. Birch. 1 vol. square 12mo,
$2.00.
This volume is intended as a companion to “The Story of Siegfried.” As
“Siegfried” was an adaptation of Northern myths and romances to the
wants and understanding of young readers, so is this story a similar
adaptation of the Middle Age romances relating to Charlemagne and his
paladins.
=The Hoosier School-Boy.= By EDWARD EGGLESTON, author
of “The Hoosier School-Master,” etc. With full-page
illustrations. 1 vol. 12mo, $1.00.
“Those who have read ‘The Hoosier School-master’—and who has not?—will
feel that they must have this companion volume. Mr. Eggleston is a
writer of very charming stories of a peculiar character. His stories
always mean something, and are pervaded by a Christian tone of thought
and feeling.”—_Christian Secretary, Hartford._
