The Christ ; Seven Lectures. By Ernest Neville. Translated from
the French by the Rev. T. J. Despres. (T. and T. Clarke.)—Mons. Neville states, with much force; and eloquence, the claims which the Christian Church may make of having contributed to the order and progress of human society. He starts with so mach dogma as is contained in the affirmations that God was manifested in Christ, and that Christ rose from the dead. These seem to him essential to Christianity, and he proceeds to point out what the faith based on these has done for the development of man on his moral and intel- lectual side, and for his happiness. The case is very well stated in seven lectures, which will amply repay perusal.
We have received the yearly issue of the Journal of the National Indian Association (Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co.), a useful publica- tion, intended to promote a better mutual knowledge of the two countries. Its chief object, of course, is to inform English readers in matters with which it is well that they should have some acquaint- ance. It gives an account of social conditions and movements, and of current events bearing on them, furnishing also specimens of literature. A valuable feature is supplied by papers which give to Hindoo students, purposing to come to this country, the necessary information on methods of proceeding, expenses, &c. So we have a paper on Oxford expenses (the figures of which seem to us somewhat too high) ; another, on " A Student's Expenses at London University;' a third, on "The English Bar." We wish all success to this usefu publication, which has now entered, we see, on its twelfth year.
