THE events of the last three months invest some of the publications of the preceding quarter with a peculiar interest; e. g., Bavoux' "France under Napoleon III., the Empire, and Parliamentary Government;" Duc de Broglie's "Views on the Government of France;" Cherbuliez' "Political Germany since the Peace of Prague (1866-70);" Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne's "Waterloo-a Study of the Campaign of 1815;" Gouraud's "French Society and Democracy;" Guyho's "The Army: its History, its Future, its Organization, and its Legislation at Rome, in France, in Europe, and in the United States;" Lehr's "Noble Alsace, followed by the Livre d'Or of the Patriciate of Strasburg;" "Campaigns of the Army of Africa," by the late Duke of Orleans, with Preface and Introduction by the Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres; vol.

The theological and religious literature of the quarter presents little that is worthy of special note.
