[Every book sent to us by the author or publisher will be promptly acknowledged, the title of the book, number of pages, the names of author and publishers being given in every case, together with the price, when we are informed what it is. Such other notice will be given as the merit of the several works may demand. Marked copies of the paper containing notices will be sent to publishers.]

"Aulichten übu National Reform" (Views on National Reform); 124 pages; price, 15 cents. The above is a translation in the German of standard tracts well known to our readers. They are just the thing to have to use among Germans, to meet the deluding sophistries of the religio-political movement.

"Interlinear Greek-English Gospel of Luke; Sunday-school Lessons for 1890;" paper, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents. Albert & Scott, Chicago. The above pamphlet supplies a Greek text, the Greek order of words in English, and an emphatic translation, by B. Wilson. These things make it helpful to every careful student of the word, whether he may or may not read Greek, if he use it wisely. Teachers and Bible classes may be able to get some helpful suggestions from this little book. For sale by all booksellers, or mailed on receipt of price by the publishers.

"Life of Toussaint L'Ouverture, with an Historical Survey of the Island of San Domingo from the Discovery of the Island by Christopher Columbus, in 1492, to the Death of Toussaint, in 1803," by Rev. C. O. Benjamin, attorney-at-law, author of "Future of the American Negro," "History of the British West Indies," "Poetic Gems," etc. Paper covers; 109 pages.

Among great patriots, little known, is Toussaint L'Ouverture. He belonged to the negro race. He was born on the beautiful isle of Hayti, or San Domingo. He came upon the stage of action shortly after the French revolution of the eighteenth century, after Hayti had been riven from center to circumference over race wars. He took up a forlorn hope, the liberty of his race, and carried it forward to success. All this Mr. Benjamin, who is himself a colored man, and who is using every means in his power to benefit the race, tells us in a very interesting way, with many other interesting facts connected therewith, in the pamphlet noticed above. There is also connected with the pamphlet a very good map of the island of San Domingo. Everyone interested in the negro problem ought to read it. Printed by Evening Express Co., Los Angeles, Cal. Price not given.
