Carpenter's review of the Life and Philosophy of Edward Caird.

Two of the contributors deal with Hinduism ; valuable New Testament criticism will be found in Mr. J. R. Mozley's "Antitheses in Christianity" and in Professor Bacon's "Parable and Its Adaptation in the Gospels " ; in " Rome and the Anglicans," a reply to Mr. Bernard Holland, Mr. G. G. Coulton reprints the French text of Dollinger's memorable letter to the Papal Nuncio at Munich (1887), in which the following characteristic fact is recorded

Lorsque l'archev:ique me communiqua le, sentence port6e centre moi, it me fit annoncer, que j'etais assujetti A toutes lea peines accumulees par le droit canonique contre les excom- munies. La premiere et in plus importante de ces peines eat contenue dans he celebre Bulls du Pope Urbain II., qui decide gull est permis A tout le monde de tuer un excommunie, quand on is fait par un motif do zele pour l'Eglise. En memo temps it fit precher contra moi dans toutes les chaires de Munich ; et l'effet que ces declamations produisaient fut tel quo le chef de la police me fit avertir que des attentats se tramaient contre ma personne, et que je ferais bien de ne pas sortir sans accom- pagnement."

The Irish bishops, it seems, are not the only hierarchy which ".has different views of the crime of murder" from those of the non-ecclesiastical world. Professor Moffatt compares Dickens and Meredith ; Mr. Fuller writes on the Eleusinian

and Orphic Mysteries ; Mr. Tawney and Mr. J. A. R. Marriott on the Ethics of Trade.
