Bullen, author of “The Cruise of the Cachalot” and other successful sea stories, has just brought out another vol- ume of salt water yarns, called ‘“Deep Sea Plunderings.” In this he emphasizes not only the freshness and vigor of the sea, but also its grandeur and gloom, its uncertainty and remorselessness. Mr. Bullen is a_past master of deep- water literature. He introduces the pic- turesque and dramgtic side of a sailor’s life as well as depicting the hardéhips of fo'c’stle existence. “‘Deep Sea Plunder- ings” is a series of bewildering sea stories. The thrilling experiences that the unknown sailor faces as-a mere incident of his daily life, and the hardships h encounters, are pictured with the vivid- ness and insight that the author of “The Cruise of the Cachalot” always realizes 50 foreibly and inevitably in his briliiant pages.

Crowell & Co., New York. Price 60 cents. Tolstoi, always a world-force, is here seen again in one of his most character- istic attitudes—stern adherence to what he thinks is right, fearless danllncation of wrong, and able exposition of the#ten- . Hefs, which question many of the funda- mental truths of the Bible, one does not see how his church could avoid refusing him the sacrament, for he follows Vol- taire at more than one point, while yet adhering to the ‘“true religion, that is, a true relation to the sourte of all—God.” Of scarcely less import, though a much shorter article is the succeeding paper “On Religious Tolerance.”” Here he sounds the note of the prophet—and the iconoclast. Then come a score of essays and letters, not one of which is without its interest. Nearly all of them ars of theological trend. “We cannot give the bent of his mind better than by quoting once more from the author, where he takes issue with Coleridge and says: “I began by loving my orthodox faith more than my peace; then I loved Christianity more than my church; and now I love the truth more than anything in the world. And until now the truth coincides for me with Christianity as I understand it; and I profess this Christianity, and in that measure in. which 1 dg profess it I peacefully and joyously ‘live and geaffimlly and joyously am approaching eath.” Julius Caesar. The Bowen-Merrill Company, Indian- apolls, has just issued volume four, “Julius Caesar,” in its excellent serles of Shakespearean dramas, under the edi- torial supervision of Edward Dowden. The present volume is edited and anno- tated by Michael Macmillan—one of the rominent Shakespearean commentators. 'he remainder of the series will appear at closer intervals from now on—the next play will be “The Tempest.” For every one of these plays care nas been taken to select as the editor an authority who is by temperament particularly adapted to the play for which he is chosen. 2111. introduction to ‘‘Julius Caesar” i{s most full and cannot fail to be of the greatest interest and value to all Shakespearean scholars. It considers every phase of this ing the national administration as well as all local organizations; . its historical method is logical, showing not on.y what our free institutions are. but also why they are, by tracing their development; and its arrangement is topical, thus atd- ing the teacher in assigning lessons, and the scholar in studying and remembering them. It contains the constitution and the Declaration of Independence in ful and a complete index renders possible rzwiiy reference to any topic. FPrice %0 cents. el Vegetarian Cook Book. “A Comprehensive Guide Bdok to Nat- ural, Hygienic and Humane Diet,” by Sid- ney H. Beard, is a vegetarian cook book, published at an opportune time. The ad- vancing prices of meat, together with the natural desire for cooling and easily pre- bared foods during the summer time, will probably result in its widespread popu- larity. ‘It is not so much an argument for that food system as a practical plan for its observance, devoting most of its space to recipes and suggestions. Simple directions for salads, luncheon dishes, desserts and other toothsome dishes make the book of value to every housekeeper, irrespective of her “food creed.” But the subject itself of food reform !s beginning to be seriously considered :{ thoughtful and enlightened persons in all parts of the world, and the extent of this Interest ia Increasing day by day.

Mr. Maclay also had to his credit the authorship of another valuable work, “A History of American Priva- teers.” Volume i1I of the series contains an account of the navy since the Civil War, with a history of the Bpanish- American War; and a new edition of this particular volume has just been placed oun the market.
