THEODORE PARKER'S "Discourse on Matters pertaining to Religion" has been issued by a London house, with a preface by the Rev. C. Voysey, the clergyman whose ultra-liberality has given his name such notoriety.

MR. SMALLEY COmplains that "of Mr. Mill's complete works, there is, as yet, no uniform editio ,nor are they all to be had even in volumes of the same size" in England. In America we have done better, the " we being in particular Messrs. Henry Holt & Co

OUR MONTHLY for FEBRUARY will contain the opening chapters of a Story of great interest and power by George Lee. The author exhibits power of description and grouping somewhat of the Dickens order. There is a spicy naturalness about his characters which makes them quite charming, and we follow with breathles interest the numerous incidents of their lives. Many droll characters are introduced, and many fine touches of pathos are given in the narrative.

OUR MONTHLY is an Illustrated Magazine, Religious and Miscellaneous, published at $3 per annum. A handsome Oil Chromo will be given to every subscriber, or the Chromo will be furnished, mounted on card-board, for 30 cents additional.

SCHEM'S

STATISTICS

OF THE

WORLD.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The semi-annual issue of "The Statistics of the World,' by Professor Alexander Schem (G. J. Moulton), sustains the favorable reputation of that useful work. The compiler has brought his own high personal authority to the preparation of the work, combined with an intelligent use of the most recent sources of information, forming a series of reports concerning the government population, and commerce of the different countries of the world, together with a variety of miscellaneous statistical facts, which can hardly be found elsewhere in so narrow a compass or with so little expense of time and money."-N. Y. Tribune.

"As a work of reference for writers, politicians, and others most valuable."-N. Y. Evening Post.

"Altogether the compilation is exceedingly valuable, and the enterprise that has accomplished it cannot be too highly commended."-N. Y. Evening Mail.

"With great ingenuity Prof. Schem has so tabulated his materials as to enable him to display clearly and compactly statistical summaries on all subjects capable of numerical or nominal statement, and interesting to the merchant, the publicist, the professional man, and the citizen.

It is a

masterpiece of condensation and clearness, and deserves the most liberal support."-Christian Union, N. Y.

"The arrangement is unique, but convenient, and the tables have been bought down to the latest information."— Golden Age, N. Y.

"We know of nothing in tne way of compact statistics quite so convenient as Schem's Statistics of the World,' a semiannual publication, at once very compact and very comprehensive."-Hearth and Home.

"In comprehensiveness and compactness the chart is a marvel."-Home Journal.

"The tables of statistics prepared by Professor A. J. Schem, and commonly known as Schem's Tables,' or 'Schem's Charts,' have a well-established reputation for con. venience, compactness, and comprehensiveness. There is no other publication so convenient and trustworthy for the general statistics of all countries."-Boston Advertiser.

"We know of no statistical table which includes so much in small space as Prof. Alexander J. Schem's."-Springfield Republican.

"Dr. Geikie's "Life" is pre-eminently a young man's book. Profoundly earnest, with apt and striking illustrations, practical in its suggestions, and never dull, there are few books of the hundreds addressed to youth which are more interesting or more likely to make a lasting impression for good on the young man's mind."-Church and State.
