Golden Words. (John Henry and James Parker.)—A volume of elections

from the writings of English divines of the fifteenth and

sixteenth centuries, by a lay member of the Church of England. We shall, perhaps, give the best idea of the book bysaying that the passages are selected from such writers as Barrow, Bishop Coverdale, Cudworth, Dr. Donne, Bishop Hall, Hooker, Bishops Hooper and Jewell, South, and Jeremy Taylor, and relate to such subjects as prayer, the Lord's Supper, the Sabbath, faith, repentance, ere. The selections seem to us to be made in a thoroughly unsectarian, though ultra-orthodox spirit.
