Lord Tennyson and the Bible. By George Lester. (Home and

Co.)—The first part of this book contains a general survey of the poet's relations to the Bible, and Christian belief generally. One

noticeable remark is, that his knowledge of these matters forms an atmosphere rather than a theology." The second part con- tains "Allusions to Holy Scripture found in the Works of Tenny- son, arranged in the order of the Sacred Books."
