History of the Christian Church.

BY GEORGE PARK FISHER, D.D., LL.D., PROFESSOR OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY IN YALE UNIVERSITY. 1 VOL. 8V0, WITH MAPS, $3.50.

N. Y. EXAMINER.

"It is the only manual of Church history we have ever seen that may be called readable; it is a really interesting book; it is accurate, comprehensive, and candid. Dr. Fisher has not only broad learning, but a catholic mind, and he has attempted with much success to make the spirit of the different movements intelligible."

HARTFORD COURANT.

"The author exhibits his breadth and candor on every page of his book, and it goes without saying that whatever he writes is invested with a charm, both of thought and style. We know of no Church history in the English language that can be so cordially commended to the general reader as this one."

BOSTON CONGREGATIONALIST.

"The eminent occupant of the chair of ecclesiastical history in Yale University has again made the entire Christian world his debtor. It is probably the most complete and comprehensive sketch of Church history ever brought within the compass of a single volume."

PHILADELPHIA BULLETIN.

"Compact and compendious as to size, lucid in its style and its statements, and remarkably free from all sectarian prejudices, it impresses us in every chapter as a faithful record by a conscientious believer, a most zealous worker, and an extremely interesting instructor."

Rev. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D., New York.

"The author has completely succeeded in condensing the immense mass of material into one volume, and producing a most useful studentenbuch (manual for students), which meets a long felt want."

Rev. R. S. STORRS, D.D., Brooklyn.

"I am surprised that the author has been able to put such multitudes of facts, with analyses of opinions, definitions of tendencies, and concise personal sketches, into a narrative at once so graceful, graphic, and compact."

Rev. WILLIAM M. TAYLOR, D.D., New York. "The author has supplied a great want in the book, and laid all busy men under a deep and lasting obligation."

ARTICLE I.-SOME PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF THE LITERARY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES; AND ESPECIALLY AS IT IS AT PRESENT INJURIOUSLY AFFECTED BY THE ABSENCE OF AN INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.*

It is always good to get back here, gentlemen. The privilege of coming occasionally and being one of you is really among the important advantages of a Yale education. Yet I

*The following paper by MR. HENRY HOLT, of New York City, is substantially the lecture which, by request, he delivered at Yale University in March, 1887, as one of a series of lectures before the Yale Political Science Club. At that time, Mr. Holt consented to furnish it for publication in this Review; and also consented to refrain from eliminating some passages which he had inserted in the freedom of colloquial address to an audience that he knew would be composed, to a large extent, of friends, but which he said might be considered to be of too personal a character if presented to the public without explanation. It should perhaps be added that the necessity of sending the proofs to Europe has delayed the publication of the Article, and that Mr. Holt's continued absence from the country has prevented his adding anything which might apply to the existing state of the discussion of the important subject of an International Copyright.-ED.
