The Book of Family Worship, contains a collection of daily

morning and evening prayers for a month, besides a number of occasional supplications for the feast-days of the Church, or on the occurrence of' those events which happen to us all. They are principally compikd from the best modern divines, with the addi- tion of JEREMY TAYLOR'S Sacramental Prayers and Meditations. The type of this edition is bold, the paper excellent, the composi- tion somewhat wordy, and too full of ill-chosen epithets. Pro- perly to supplicate an earthly potentate, is difficult; to meet the critic's approbation in addressing a heavenly one, we perceive in- spiration is needed.
