Religious Confessions and Confessants. By Anna R. Burr. (Houghton Mifflin

Company. lOs. 6d. net.)—In this interest- ing book Miss Burr undertakes to examine the " documents of personal religion"—" to study, by means of induction through individual examples, the manifestation of that force to which tradition has assigned the name religion." She deals with the writers of self-revelation in its spiritual aspect, like St. Augustine, Bunyan, and Fox, and her instructive book cannot fail to be read with deep interest.
