Dr. $. Blount Cheshire, Bishop of North Carolina, publishes a

new edition of The Country Parson of George Herbert (Thomas Whittaker, New York, 3s. net). He has supplied an introduction, in which he urges the advantage of making a practical use of Herbert's book. There is much that the "country parson" of to-day, different as are his circumstances in many respects, may learn from it for the better fulfilment of his duty. A few foot- notes, explanatory of difficulties in the text, have been added.
