$1.00. The bishop writes out of the fullness of his heart, and with abundant love and charity. His works make the world wiser, happier, and better. These "Thoughts and Theories" are couched in polished English, in sentences terse and full of meaning; few living writers command a more charming style. =Education and the Higher Life=. 12mo, 210 pages, $1.00. Bishop Spalding has struck a note which must vibrate in every heart which loves the glory of Christianity and the progress of humanity.... The book is a stimulant, a tonic, a trumpet-call to higher things, a beacon light for better days.--_The Catholic Union and Times_. =Things of the Mind=. 12mo, 237 pages, $1.00. Out of a disciplined and fertile mind he pours forth epigrammatic sentences and suggestions in a fashion which recalls Emerson. He is always and everywhere American, and the last chapter is at once wisely critical and soundly laudatory of our country.--_The Sunday School Times, Philadelphia_. =Means and Ends of Education=. 12mo, 232 pages, $1.00. Bishop Spalding comes nearer being an essayist in education than any other American. He has that rarest of educational gifts,--the ability to throw light brilliantly, and yet softly, making his paragraphs both bright and mellow, all without "preaching," without pedantry, and without being cranky.--_Journal of Education_, Boston. =Opportunity, and Other Essays and Addresses=. 12mo, 228 pages, $1.00. In this volume, as in his other books, Bishop Spalding is occupied with the larger problems of education. In addition to the specifically educational subjects there are themes of the widest possible interest, to the treatment of which the ripe experience of the writer gives high value. =Songs, chiefly from the German=. 16mo, gilt top, $1.25. He has gathered the flowers from the German garden of song and translated them, giving a literal rendering, but still preserving the melody,--an art which was thought to have been lost with Longfellow.--_The Chicago Record_. _Sold by all booksellers, or mailed, on receipt of price, by_ A. C. McCLURG & CO., PUBLISHERS, CHICAGO. By Mrs. Elizabeth Wormeley Latimer. _JUDEA: From Cyrus to Titus, 537 B. C.--70 A. D._ Handsomely illustrated. 8vo. $2.50. This is a book for the people rather than for scholars, but written with the resources of scholarship at command. Not entering into the mooted questions of criticism, it is a well writt
