Washington: Wm, Ballantyne & Son.” Mr. Maurice was greatly endeared to the Eng- Ush people by what Ife Lad done for their mate- rial and moral advancement. Among these efforts were the excursions tothe country of poor children, of which he was the originator, as he was of the movement for the higher edu- cation of women. He also founded the Lopdon Workingmens College, and he was one of the Projectors of the Queen’s College for Ladies. In addition to these larger duties he was engaged in many other progressive efforts, and his name and services were always at the corlmand of whatever promised to elevate and Improve man- kind. It is natural, therefore, that there should be an interest in his life and its works; and in ‘Ro way could this want be met so well as by the j publication of his letters, which “nothing ex- tenuate, nor set down naught in malice.” They constitute, indeed, the record of a pure and noble career, for the study of which all readers must be better. DUE WEST: or, Round the World in Ten Monthe. By Marurrs M. Battov, Boston: Houghton, Miftin &Co. Weshington: Wm. Ballantyne & Son. | There seems to be no end to the supply of books of travel, and indeed there seems to be noend to the aemand ror them; for seeing strange countries through the eyes of an intel- ligent and appreciative traveler is next to see- ing them with your own. Recognizing this fact, Mr. Ballou has done well to publish in at tractive style the record of his trip around the world made a year or two ago. It includes the crossing of the our continent, and the Pacilic ocean, to Japan, where a month was spent; thence to China and up Pearl river to Canton: a week in Hong Kong; thence te and across Cey- Jon; from there to India, Egypt, Malta, Spain, France, Belgium nnd England. The author ob- serves closely and describes intelligently and agreeably, and, altogether, he has made an in- teresting and creditable book.

It wasin the year 1517 that Luther nailed to the gates of the church his ninety-five propositions against indulgences. ‘These theses sponded by burning the bull. The result of his defiance was that he was summoned by the em- ofthe empire in the city of Worms, and though warned by his timid friends not to go, he said, “though there are as_ many devils In Worms as there are tiles on the houses yet will T go.” Be- fore the nobles of church and state, he appealed tothe Bible, ni ience and private judg- ment pope, the traditions ana the councils. quently the diet placed him un- der the ban of the and he was an outlaw before church and “state. He was shielded by Frederick the Wise and lodged in the now cele- brated castle of Wartburg. —In 1525 he married Von Bora, in order, as he said, “to please his father, to tease the pope and to vex the devil.” It was a daring act in that age and among that people, for she was an ex-nun, but although the marriage was bitterly criticised even by Luther's friends, it was nevertheless a happy one. The most important work of Luther between 1521 and 1534, was his transla- tion of the Bible. It displaced all other German translations, assisted powerfully in the spread ofthe reformation and is yet in general use in pears to ve really little or no ground for think- ing that most of the pictures offered did not bring very near if not quite thelr full value.
