The Pilgrim in the Shadow of the Jungfrau. By GEO. B. CHEEVER, D. D. New York and London: Wiley & Putnam.

Dr. Cheever dedicates his book to Richard H. Dana, whom he calls, in the dedication, “the poet of ‘Daybreak’ “ — why, we cannot for our life conceive. The book itself is Cheeverish — if we may coin a phrase — in the extreme. It has a great deal of descriptive merit, is full of blunders of composition, and abuses the Catholics right roundly. The quotations made, and frequently introduced, show considerable taste.
