A NEW BOOK BY DR. HOLLAND.

EVERYDAY TOPICS.

BY J. C. HOLLAND,

Author of "Sevenoaks," "Arthur Bonnicastle," "The Mistress of the Manse." " Kathrina," "Bitter Sweet," "Titcomb's Letters," "Gold Foil," etc.

ONE VOL. 12mo. PRICE $I.75.

The same sound sense and practical wisdom as applied to the affairs of everyday life which secured for "Gold Foil" and "Lessons in Life" such wide and enduring popularity distinguish this volume in a still more marked degree. It contains careful selections from the articles written by Dr. Holland for the department "Topics of the Time" in Scribner's Monthly during the last five years.

Only those papers furnishing permanent value and general interest here find a place, but the range of topics is surprisingly wide and extremely attractive—"Culture," "Literature and Literary Men," "The Popular Lecture," "The Common Moralities," "Woman," "American Life and Manners" are a few of the general subjects under which the different articles are grouped.

Upon them all Dr. Holland expresses himself with that grace, directness, earnestness, and force which have given him so strong a hold upon such a multitude of readers.

SEVENOAKS.

A STORY OF TO-DAY.

BY J. G. HOLLAND,

Author of "Arthur Bonnicastle," "The Mistress of the Manse." " Kathrina," "Bitter Sweet," "Titcomb's Letters," etc.

With 2 full-page illustrations, after original designs by Sol. Eytinge. One volume, 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.

Dr. Holland in his latest novel, "The Story of Sevenoaks," has undertaken to present some typical American characters, and especially to throw light upon a phase of New York life, the outside of which, at least, is familiar to every reader. But it is not merely because the characters and scenes and incidents are thoroughly modern and familiar that the story has won so much attention during its serial publication in Scribner's Monthly. The progress of events is rapid, and graphically narrated; and it is seldom that an American Magazine Story has been followed from beginning to end by so large an audience, and with such eager and sustained interest. The book, too, is enlivened by those bits of out-of-door description, sympathetic touches of character, and genial philosophies, that his readers always find in Dr. Holland's stories, and which constitute no small part of their attraction.

THREE IMPORTANT THEOLOGICAL WORKS.

THE PARACLETE

An Essay on the Personality and Ministry of the Holy Ghost, with some Reference to Current Discussions.

By JOSEPH PARKER, D.D., Author of "ECCE DEUS," etc. One vol., I2mo, cloth......... $1.50

From the Church Journal.

"It is written in a warm, devout, earnest manner, with much power of reasoning and wealth of illustration, and very much suggestiveness, as though the author were rather burdened with the amount he had to say and used necessary repression. The introduction, and the essays reviewing Mr. Huxley, at the end, are perhaps the best parts of the book."


MODERN DOUBT AND CHRISTIAN BELIEF

A SERIES OF APOLOGETIC LECTURES ADDRESSED TO EARNEST SEEKERS AFTER TRUTH. By THEODORE CHRISTLIEB, University Preacher and Professor of Theology at Bonn. One vol., 8vo, cloth,....... $3.00

From the Presbyterian.

"One rises from the reading of this volume with mind and heart expanded and enriched, feeling that he has seen the gigantic and imposing structure of skepticism shattered and the solid rock of Divine truth disclosed. He knows not which to admire most—the author's wide and thorough research, the exhaustiveness of his discussion, his even-balanced and judicial impartiality, or his clear and finished style. Every minister and every lay student of theology needs the work, and no one who saw and heard its gifted author while in this country will need urging to procure it."


THE
SUPERHUMAN ORIGIN OF THE BIBLE
INFERRED FROM ITSELF.

By HENRY ROGERS, Author of "THE ECLIPSE OF FAITH," etc. One vol. 12mo, cloth,...... $2.00

From the Congregationalist.

"Mr. ROGERS has constructed a volume which is to outlive all his other writings. It is an instructive, stimulating, well-compacted book. Most of the considerations which he has marshaled in proof of his thesis have been presented by others, some of them with greater fulness and equal brilliancy. He has brought together what has been scattered In many treatises. He has freshened familiar illustrations and welded into one many common proofs, so that they carry a new persuasiveness, and he has added not a few subtle and suggestive and most satisfactory illustrations of the wonderful nature of that Word which abideth."
