Ordinals, Past and Present. By the Rev. J. Bainbridge Smith.

(J. Parker and Co.)—This pamphlet may be described as a very useful supplement to works written in defence of Anglican Orden-. The author gives various forms that have been, or are now, used in various churches. In one way it is useless to multiply evidence of this kind. Rome condemns whatever is not Roman, and no evidence, though it be complete up to the very point of demon- stration, will be of any avail.
