With an appreciation by W. Robertson Nicoll, M. A. Printed in two colors, with marginal and other decorations from original designs by F. Berkeley Smith. 12mo, decorated cloth, gilt top, boxed, $1.25.

CONTENTS: The Miracle of Friendship, The Culture of Friendship, The Fruits of Friendship, The Choice of Friendship, The Eclipse of Friendship, The Wreck of Friendship, The Renewing of Friendship, The Limits of Friendship, The Higher Friendship.

Dr. Nicoll says: "Mr. Hugh Black, of Free St. George's, Edinburgh, who is now, we suppose, the most popular preacher in Scotland, has published a wise and charming little book on Friendship. It is full of good things winningly expressed; and though very simply written, is the result of real thought and experience. Mr. Black's is the art that conceals art. For young men especially this volume will be a golden possession, and it can hardly fail to affect their after lives."

A Devotional Study of the Beatitudes. With marginal illuminations in color, from original designs. 12mo, decorated cloth, gilt top, boxed, $1.00.

The peculiar adaptability of the Beatitudes to treatment in a devotional and expository manner, and Dr. Miller's great popularity as a writer of works of this nature were a happy combination, which has resulted in a choice addition to devotional literature. In its mechanical details-rough-edged paper, ample margins with artistic illuminations, ornamental chapter headings and title page, decorated covers-the book is worthy of subject and author.

"Everyone knows the way Dr. Miller has of saying these suggestive, comforting, helpful things that reach the heart and do good like a medicine."-The Advance.

A Brief History of Ancient Jerusalem; with an account of the Modern City and its Conditions, Political, Religious and Social. 15 Illustrations and 4 Maps. 8vo, cloth, $1.50.

Mr. Wallace lived in Jerusalem for five years as United States Consul for Palestine. His book is the only recent work on the subject which is both brief and authoritative, for of the works on the same subject previously issued, those in any degree authoritative have been commonly too exhaustive for general reading, while the briefer works have been usually the impressions of tourists or transient visitors. The author has sought to place in the hands of those who are interested in this city of sacred memories and holy sites a book of such facts as are ascertainable. The opinions expressed are based upon careful study of recognized authorities supplemented by diligent personal investigation. The book will prepare intending visitors for an intelligent comprehension of what they shall see when they arrive in the Holy City. At the same time it will benefit those whom circumstances prevent from beholding the present remnant of the once great city, by giving them a picture of what it is and by narrating the experiences through which it has reached its present condition. The illustrations, all from original photographs, and the maps, which are also new, form an important feature.

"Few lovers of travel records need to be told about Mrs. Bishop's qualifications as a writer; and her grasp of situations, her insight into inevitable changes, and her speculations about probable outcomes, are all exceedingly valuable and entertaining." -The Interior.

"No other book on Korea is so satisfying in its presentation of the facts of nature and man in Korea as they are to-day. This is not a work of history, but of travel and observation; yet, in its discussions of the forces and environment which have made the native what he is, it is thorough and illuminating."-The Nation.

"Dr. Martin has just been appointed President of the Imperial University of China, which is not to be confounded with the Tungwen College, supported by the customs revenues, of which he was President for many years. He is the author of A Cycle of Cathay' published last year. No book by an American has revealed a more intimate acquaintance with the language and life of the Chinese. It has met with deserved success."-The Critic.

"A just and truthful view of things as they appear to a clear-eyed, broad-minded, highly cultured American and Christian student."Christian Work.

BY ROBERT E. SPEER

Students' Lectures on Missions, Princeton, 1898. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.

"The author defines his purpose 'to sketch in broad outline the spirit of the Eastern peoples, the present making of history in Asia, and the part therein of Christian missions.' His views are evidently based on wide and thoughtful research, as well as upon the experiences of an extended tour in the countries discussed in 1890-'97. ... The book will be ranked as one of the noteworthy contributions to the literature of missions."-The Sunday School Times.

"Written in clear, terse, strong style."-The Evangelist.
