CURRENT LITERATURE.

Theodore Parker's Works. Volume %IL Edited by Frances Power Cobbe. (Tritbner and Co.)—This volume contains some autobiographical and miscellaneous writings, of which the most important is a paper on Daniel Webster, severe but not unjust, and evidently not written in any spirit of triumph, but rather of sorrow over his great errors. The volume, like most of Parker's writings, is calculated to raise one's opinion of him as a moralist, and rather to lessen his reputation as a thinker and writer, —that is, to mike one feel that he has been underrated in the one capacity, and overpraised in the other.
