We are in receipt of the first minuber of ' The Australasian Accountant and Busiiness Man's Journal ' The proprietor and editor is Mr. T. H. Thompson (Dunedin) whose special fitness for the duties of conducting this excellent monthly is sufficiently indicated by the fact that he is joint author, with a local solicitor of the admirable ' N.Z. Manual of Accountancy and 'Commercial Law,' which has met with such well-merited success among business people in this Colony.' There a re vi Great Britain and in some other countries publications covering the same gio.und, but tihis is the first of the kind in Australasia. Local conditions are apecially catered, for, a>nd able writers have beefr engaged to deal with legal accountancy and other questions affecting commerce in these countries. The editor has contrived to lighten his \anous themes by the introduction of well executed heliogravures and, among other things by qjuaint ' Ballads about Business,' in which humor and business acumen are happily Wended. The publication carries a free accident insurance for £100. It ip extremely valuable to business people and to colleges and schools where a commercial course is taugiht. (Rate of subscription, 10s 6d per auburn). From the publishers (Pustet and Co., New York) we have received ' The Mirror of True Manhood as Reflected in the Life of St. Joseph.' This valuable manual is translated from the French by the Rev. Dr. M-ullany, and is enriched with a preface by the Right Rev. Dr! Colton, Bishop of Buffalo. It consists of some 340 pages of beaiuti fully clear and legi'Wle type, amd sets before the mental eye of the reader a series of de\o"it meditations on the various aspects of the life of St. Joseph— t lie designs of God in his regxurd ;as the husband ol Mary, a-s the foster-father of the Holy Child; his place in the various incidents of t!ie infancy, youth^ private and pubht life, and death ami resmrreotion of the Sayior of the World ; his various virtiues, and the many roles whi.h he fills in regard to those who are engaged in the pilgrimage, towards eternity, ' The Mirror of True Manhood ' is a book which should be in the hands of every layman, youns^ and old. We specially recommend it for those in charge of youith, for colleges and schools, 'etc., as it cannot fairto strengthen their devotion to the great Patron of the Universal Churuh.
