A Chain of Prayer Across the Ages. Compiled and arranged

for daily use by Selina Fitzherbert Fox, M.D., B.S. (John Murray. 5s. net.)—This is an interesting anthology of prayers covering the whole Christian era, and containing also certain prayers culled from the Old Testament. We find in it collects written by the early Fathers of the Church, by mediaeval divines, by Elizabethan reformers, and, lastly, by men and women of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book is designed to facilitate family worship. It has an excellent index, and should prove useful.
