The Anglican Pulpit of To-day. (Hodder and Stoughton.)—Here are short

biographies and specimen sermons of forty "distinguished

preachers of the Church of England." Among the forty are seventeen Bishops (two of them, Drs. Fraser and Woodford, now deceased), one suffragan Bishop, three Deans, and various other dignitaries, among whom we observe the names of Canons Scott Holland, Westcott, and Body, Archdeacon Farrar, Professors Driver, Salmon, and Paget. One American preacher, the Rev. Phillips Brooks, appears in the list. This is a volume which is obviously a subject of description rather than of criticism, and which accordingly, after saying so much, we will commend to our readers.
