Josiah Viney : a Record of his Life and Work.
Ey Henry Johnson. (Elliot Stock. 59.)—Mr. Piney was a Congregational minister who had charges at Herne Bay, Bethnal Green, and Highgate successively. He retired from pastoral work while still little more than sixty years of age, devoting the rest of his life to good works of various kinds. We can easily understand that many people would gladly have a record of a long and useful life. For them, and not for the general public, this volume is written, and written with good taste and adequate skill.—Sermons and Lectures, by the Rev. Henry Bonner (Horace Marshall and Sons, 5s. net.), contains thirty sermons and five literary lectures by a man who, it is easy to say, possessed considerable culture and ability, and, it is also plain, he grew. His latest sermons—Mr. Bonner died, at the age of fifty-one, in 1898—have not been given, the notes being insufficient, but there is enough to show a broad and receptive mind in the preacher.
