LITERARY NOTICES.

By Editor

[The SIGNS OF THE TIMES holds itself under no obligation to notice any publications sent it by publishers. Those considered worthy of notice, or which are deemed profitable to its subscribers, will receive such notice as time, space, and value will permit.]

We have received from the International Tract Society, Hamburg, Germany, a neat little pamphlet in the Bohemian language, entitled, "Plná Vira," which, being interpreted, means, "Full Faith." May it be a blessing to those who read it, and may it lead them into the fullness of faith as it is in Christ Jesus.

The Good Health maintains through all the years a continually growing excellence. In the February number a series of articles begins on "Biographical Health Studies," by that well-known interesting writer, Felix L. Oswald, M.D. Helen L. Manning contributes No. 1 of "Ventilation of Sleeping Rooms," a very important subject. "A Practical Talk on Fermentations," "The Adulteration of Food," and many other articles short and long make this number valuable. Price, $2.00 per year, including companion volume; 20 cents a number. Battle Creek, Michigan.

"AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS," by Geo. T. Angell, editor of Our Dumb Animals, president of the American Humane Education Society, etc. A large-page pamphlet of one hundred pages, with appendix of nearly fifty pages. Sent by mail, ten cents. American Humane Education Society, 19 Milk Street, Boston, Mass.

"THE STRIKE AT SHANE'S," a sequel to "Black Beauty." A prize story written for The American Humane Education Society, 19 Milk Street, Boston, Mass.; 92 pp. Price by mail, 10 cents.

The first of the above pamphlets gives many most interesting incidents in the way of various reforms in which Mr. Angell has been engaged. He says that these sketches are "published for the use of his friends and all who care to read them." He certainly has done noble work for the protection of poor dumb brutes, and against adulteration of food products, etc.

"The Strike at Shane's" is a story of how all the animals and birds struck against the will and service of a cruel master, and how he was brought to see that the golden rule is the best rule, applied even to the brute creation. A good book for the cruelly disposed to read.

"THE INTERLINEAR TRANSLATION OF THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT, with THE AUTHORIZED VERSION," which is conveniently printed in the margin for ready reference, together with the various readings of the Greek text of the editions of Elzevir 1624, Griesbach, Lachman, Tischendorf, Tregelles, Alford, and Wordsworth. Arthur Hinds & Co., 4 Cooper Institute, New York City. Price, cloth, well bound, $3.00; half leather, $4.00; divinity circuit, $5.00.

The above text is well printed, with a properly accented Greek text, and where the arrangement of the word-for-word rendering is likely to be mistaken by a person unacquainted with the Greek idiom, the words are numbered to assist the student. We believe that it will be of real help to the student.

We noticed this last week, but the printer made us say "profusely accented" instead of "properly accented." See advertisement in No. 13 of this volume of the SIGNS.
