Golden Thoughts from the Great Writers. Arranged by Alfred Z.

Fuller. (E. Nister.)---This is a "volume of selected devotional poems and extracts," containing many well-known poems which it is needless to praise. One or two are possibly a little out of place. Those who appreciate Frances Ridley Havergal, James Montgomery, or John Keble, may not be altogether pleased with Popes " Universal Prayer." The illustrations, too, are of varying merit, and the coloured are not the best.
