The Testimony of the Stars to the Truths Revealed in

the Bible. By Caroline Dent. (Rivington.)—This book is abridged from the " Maz- zeroth " of the late Miss Frances Rolleston, and briefly exhibits the ingenious attempt to find a symbolic meaning in the configurations of the Constellations. The zodiac, for instance, is supposed to set forth the scheme of Redemption. All this seems to snit the Ptolemaic rather than the Copernican theory of the universe.
