The Lord's Supper : a Clerical Symposium (Hodder and Stoughton),

is a reprint from the pages of the Homiletic Quarterly. Twelve writers have contributed to it, representing Lutheranism, various shades of Anglicanism, and not a few shades of Protestant opinion. Drs. Lutbardt, De Pressense, and Littledale, Mr. J. P. Hoppe, Mr. M. F. Sadler, and Mr. J. A. Beer are among the best known of the writers. Surely, the name "symposium" is, in this instance, not happily applied.—Studies in the History of the Book of Common Prayer, with appendices, by Herbert Mortimer Luckock, D.D., (Rivington), contains, we presume, the substance of lectures given by the writer in his capacity of Principal of the Theological College of Ely. It deals with four main topics,—the Anglican reform, the Puritan innovations, the Elizabethan reaction, and the Caroline settlement.
