Religion, anti other Essays. By Arthur Schopenhauor. Translated by T.
B. Saunders. (Swan Sonnonschein.)—There is no doubt eithsr is to the public interest taken in Schopenbauer or as to the services rendered to his memory by Mr. Saunders. Sehopenhauer i porhaps at his best and pleasantest when he is deliberately and elaborately sententious, as when he says : "Obstinacy is the result ei the will forcing itself into the place of the intellect." So Mr. SSiunders has done quite right to give, in a volume of selections like the present, his "Psychological Observations." Of course, any book professing to let the English reading public know what Schopenhauer is, would have been incomplete without the " Dialogue on Religion" and "A. Few Words about Pantheism." On the other hand, "On Books and Bonding" does not exhibit Schopenhauer at his best and profoundest. All things considered, however, this is a very handy and useful little book.
