By William Walker, Ictur^ and Teacher of Free-hand Drawing in Owens College, &c. With upwards of 200 Woodcuts and Diagrams. (Seeley, Jackson, and Halliday.)—Everthing that a tyro in the art of drawing can reasonably ask for, in the way of oral instruction, is provided in a useful little manual. The drawing-master treats him as a creature endowed with brains, as well as ambitious of deftly handling the pencil and chalk. From one thing to another, he leads him on ; from purely technical rules and instructions, to the more refined elements of the art, which everyone must master who would pass from a mere dauber or copyist to the higher sphere of an artist. When the pupil has learnt to draw straight and curved lines, and shade his surfaces so as to look as like nature as he can make them, he is instructed in the subtler secrets of proportion, symmetry, and character in art work; in taste, style, and “ motive ; ” a word which we gladly welcome as naturalised at last in our art-language. Per spective also is sufficiently illustrated for the purposes of free-hand drawing. The diagrams are generally good. A little more graphic force, and a little less conventionality, particularly in examples of leafage and tree-drawing, would make the illustrations really excellent. Demonology and Devil Lore. By Moncure D. Conway, M.A. Two Vols., with numerous Illustrations. (Chatto and Windus.)—In a work full of curious and recondite learning, the history of demon worship is traced back to its rightful origin, as the complement of the solar myth ; and the offspring of the prevalent notion affirming the existence of the dual and antagonistic principles of Good and Evil in nature. Starting from this point, the author,in great detail, discusses the many forms assumed by the Devil of human imagination in his sinister and deadly influences inimical to mankind, as animals, serpents, dragons, and what not. The mortal strife main tained between the Deity and the Demon under various aspects is traced from one myth to another, concluding with more modem manifes tations of a similar character, as in witchcraft, sorcery, and the Faust and Mephisto legend. We shall return to the subject when we can command space more adequate to its vast im portance and engrossing interest. The Dramatic Works of G. E. Lessing. Trans feted from the German. Edited by Ernest Bell, M.A. With a Short Memoir by Helen Zimmern. Two Vols. (George Bell and Sons.) —Lessing, the parent of modern German thought, the master to whom Goethe, Schiller, and many others looked up with imitative Ireverence, is gradually making his way in England, through recent translations of his works and Mr. Sime’s Memoir. The more he is known the better will he be appreciated. Miss Zimmern has condensed into a few pages the particulars of his life. Art and literature were its predominant occupations. His treatise on the Laocoon group established his reputation as an art critic. The limits he drew between painting and poetry have taken their place among the canons of art which may be regarded as axiomatic. A project for the 1 or .noiii proves. The order of their composition, in point of date, has been inverted, for no very J Y397 on it bus zsib sufficient reason we think ; three tragedies and B -haoaiq a dramatic poem, “ Nathan the Wise,” preced |■ •ratal js : ing the comedies, although composed at a later 1iiiolsO period. “ Sara Sampson " and “ Emilia Galotti ” Ikmsa n among the tragedies, and “ Minna Von Barn helm ” as a comedy, will always hold their own 1 nwo trarl I aqjsdiaq as works of genuine art, although not perhaps I sit ritiv of the very first order; for, except with the ■ bus stcti work of the Immortals, the lapse of time and I tairrqoq change of manners seriously affect the popular I elttii sro estimate of such things. But with some little | e'gniazsJ allowance made on this account, Lessing's | nrarii lo dramas are very readable. Several of them now appear for the first time in English. I sWjS. The Englishman's Critical and Expository Bible : .veil 9flj Cyclopedia. Compiled and Written by the Rev. A. R. Fausset, M.A., Rector of St. Cuthbert’s, , I.e'iisddJi ! labboH) York, &c. Illustrated by 600 Woodcuts. (Hodder R lo iroiaivi and Stoughton.)—In these days of the division of I dona lo literary, as of all other labour, a work of such ' ,naq algn magnitude as this, emanating from a single pen, E gni'isvsar entitles its author to the praise of persevering modal 9£ industry. It has cost him, he tells us, the labour of seven years. His predominant idea in under- 1 I -labrm ni I bairuml fl taking it was to put Bible students, both learned and unlearned, in possession of the fruits of 1 lo giirnl aril efriJS’ modern criticism and research, as regards the historical and other external features of Scrip l-qrio2 lo J bus Isnh: ture, while also conveying “ those doctrinal and experimental truths which the written word it |->r biovz 1 self contains.” The results of the Palestine f enitaeisT laristam Exploration supplied him with fresh material bus yriqsfor elucidating obscure points of topography and .gedomea: history. Egyptian and Assyrian researches, -noo emo; also, are not overlooked, nor the welcome con srit lo ya firmation they afford to the accuracy of the rfaflgnS ,1 sacred writers. Other commentators, English and German, have been made available in clear ! -rselo ni 9 banistnoo ing away difficulties. The information contained ni .yllsoit! in the Cyclopaedia is arranged alphabetically, in sfllii ano' pages of three columns, the numerous little .ixst orii. wood-engravings taking their place in the text. aloihts dor Scripture references are worked into each article iHSitoqnii as they are required; notices of more important personages running into short biographies inter i-i91ni g9id oiiosbib b woven with reflections of a moral and didactic bns Insia character. Readers of Ultra-Protestant and noitansfq: Calvinistic views will appreciate the explanation ynsm lo li of doctrinal matters. In his treatment of many controverted passages of Scripture, the author 1 Toriins ad decidedly adopts the literal interpretation. The adT .noil "'mirmnaili reader may be interested to find the “Millennium discussed as a future event; “ Antichrist and bus " tarn “ Babylon ” are explained, in a somewhat obso ■-ogdo tariv ,dismal al lete sense, as the Church of Rome. We remark, with some surprise, the absence of “ Grace . as l as "aosiO the title of a separate article. And in the article I aloiiis aril . on the “Holy Ghost,” His “procession” in ani "noiaas eternity, from the Father and the „Son, is !Jai ,no2 a strangely confused with His “ Mission to the J adl ol "n< Apostles after Christ’s Ascension.
