By Alexander Bain, LL.D., Professor of Logic in the University of Aberdeen. New and revised edition. I vol., 12mo. 731 pages. Price $2.00.

"In an introductory chapter are set forth such doctrines of psychology as have a bearing on Logic, the nature of knowledge in general, and the classification of the sciences, the intention being to avoid doctrinal digressions in the course of the work. Although preparatory to the understanding of what follows, this chapter may be passed over lightly on a first perusal of the work.

"Mr. Mill's view of the relation of Deduction and Induction is fully adopted, as being the solution of the otherwise inextricable puzzle of the Syllogism, and the means of giving unity and comprehensiveness to Logic." - Extract from Preface.

If popularity be taken as the measure of success in literary effort, Sebastian Brandt's " Ship of Fools" must be considered one of the most successful books recorded in the whole history of literature. Published in edition after edition (the first dated 1494) at a time but shortly after the invention of printing, when books were expensive, and their circulation limited; translated into the leading languages of Europe at a time when translations of new works were only the results of the most signal merits, its success was then quite unparalleled. It may be said in modern phrase to have been the rage of the reading world at the end of the 15th and throughout the 16th centuries. The Germans proudly award it the epithet" epoch making," and its long continued popularity affords good, if not quite sufficient ground for the extravagant eulogies they lavish upon it. Brandt's satire is a satire for all time, embodied in the language of the 15th century, colored with the habits and fashions of the times, executed after the manner of working of the period, and motived by the eager questioning spirit and the discontent with "abusions" and "folyes" which resulted in the Reformation; this satire in its morals or lessons is almost as applicable to the year of grace 1874, as to the year of gracelessness, 1497. It never can grow old; in the mirror in which the men of his time saw themselves reflected, the men of all time can recognize themselves; a crew of "able bodied" is never wanting to man this old, weather-beaten, but ever sea-worthy vessel. Barclay's 'Ship of Fools," however, is not only important as a picture of the English life and popular feeling of his time, it is both in style and vocabulary a most valuable and remarkable monument of the English language. ... In the long, barren track between Chaucer and Spenser the "Ship of Fools" stands all but alone as a popular poem.—From the Introauction.

NOTES IN SEASON,

MR. SHOVE'S theory of "Life under Glass" is nearly ready to astonish the world by Messrs. Osgood's help. First he arraigns the natural climate for its fickleness and general unpleasantness, and then shows what might be done by bottling up the sunshine under forty acres of glass. It is a veritable Utopia that he proposes, a Central Park city in fact. The same house has nearly ready also a very bright novel, "Good Luck," from the German of Ernest Werner, by Frances A. Shaw.

EARLY in May, we can look for the appearance of George Eliot's new book, "The Legend of Jubal, and other Poems," which, by special arOsgood will publish. rangement with the author, Messrs. James R.
