 638 JET JEWEL (Berlin, 1845-'63), Schenckel (1864), and Keim (1867-'71). A humanitarian view is presented by W. II. Furness in "Jesus and his Biogra- phers" (Philadelphia, 1838), and "Jesus" (1870). The Vie de notre seigneur Jesus- Christ, by the abbe Brispot (Paris, 1850- '53), presents the Roman Catholic view. A volume of " Historical Lectures on the Life of Christ," by C. J. Ellicott (London, 1859), is a popular work, while the notes appended consider most of the points under critical discussion. The "Life of our Lord upon Earth," by Samuel J. Andrews (New York, 1863), considers only the outward events of the life of Jesus, but is a thorough discussion of these. A new impulse was given to this department of study by the Vie de Jems of Ernest Renan (Paris, 1863), which considered the gospel story as a legendary romance. A reply by E. de Pressens6, entitled U&cole cri- tique de Jesm- Christ, appeared the same year, followed by Jesus- Christ, son temps, sa me, son (euvre (Paris, 1866), by the same author; while a multitude of volumes and essays on the sub- ject appeared in Europe and America.

Seeley, "Ecce Homo" (London, 1866); Z. Eddy, "Immanuel" (Springfield, 1868); William Hanna, "Life of Christ" (Edinburgh, 1869); Lyman Abbott, "Jesus of Nazareth: His Life and Teachings" (New York, 1869); Howard Crosby, "Jesus, his Life and Works" (New York, 1871); Lewis Mercier, "Outlines of the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ " (London, 1871); Sir George Stephen, "Life of Christ" (London, 1871); Henry Ward Beecher, "Life of Jesus the Christ'!

JET, a variety of lignite, resembling cannel coal, but harder, of deeper black, and of more brilliant lustre. It is found in detached pieces in tertiary clays along the coast of Yorkshire, England, and in various places on the continent of Europe. From its susceptibility of taking a fine polish and its intense blackness, it has been largely used for mourning articles of or- nament, as buttons, crosses, and ear rings.
