We have received a cheap edition of Sixty Years of

an Agitator's Life, by George Jacob Holyoake (T. Fisher Unwin, 2s. fid. not). We need hardly say that it is a book of' a most interesting kind, a view of the intellectual life of the nineteenth century taken from an unusual standpoint. Of course the Holyoake of the last two decades of the century was not quite the same person as the Holyoake of 1840-1880. But this does not in the least tell against the sincerity of the man or the value of his book.
