Literary Notices.
Joannis Gerhardi Loci Theologici ed. Preuss. (Berlin, G. Schlawitz.)

Of this chief work of pure theology a new, excellent, and beautifully produced, and at the same time extremely inexpensive, edition in nine volumes or thirty fascicles is in course of publication. The first fascicle has already been issued, and four to six fascicles are to appear annually. This edition offers a reprint of the editio princeps of 1610, prepared by Johann Gerhard himself, together with his surviving notes, as well as extensive indices and the Life of Johann Gerhard. Since the subscription price for the fascicle is set at only 15 silver groschen, a convenient opportunity is here offered to come into possession of this splendid treasure of our Church, and every Lutheran theologian should not only make use of it himself, for the sake of his own advancement in right knowledge, if he does not yet have this work in his library, but he should also make it a pleasure to ease and enable, through purchase or the spreading of this handsome and carefully made edition, the publisher's carrying-out of this praiseworthy undertaking.

The work can be obtained from Schäfer & Koradi in Philadelphia, the fascicle at 62½ cents. S.

Published by J. A. Spalt in Hermannsburg has just appeared, and can be obtained through all bookshops:

The Teaching of Holy Scripture Concerning the Last Things (Death, Resurrection, Judgment, Eternity). By L. Harms, Pastor in Hermannsburg. 16 pp. 8vo. Price 2½ groschen.

Published by Riehm in Basel, appeared in the year 1862:

An Elucidation, from Documentary Sources, of the Religious Trial Conducted 1835–1842 at Königsberg in Prussia, for [the Study of] World and Church History. By Ernst Count von Kanitz, Royal Prussian Tribunal Councillor, retired. (XII and 468 pp., large 8vo. 2 florins.)

From a review of this work we learn that the trial conducted, in the years indicated, against the so-called Königsberg "Muckers" (at whose head stood Ebel, † 1861, and Diestel, † 1854) was nothing other than a shameful abuse of judicial power (particularly on the part of Consistorial President Schön and Consistorial Councillor Kähler), undertaken indeed out of enmity toward Christianity, and that the accused emerged from it wholly cleared of those immoralities of which they have continually been accused, not only among the general public, but even in the church-historical works of a Guericke and a Hase, as well as in the encyclopedias of Herzog, Pierer, and Ersch and Gruber.
