The Book of Bible Prayers. By J. B. Marsh. (Simpkin

and Marshall.)—Mr. John B. Marsh, of Manchester, has taken the trouble to gather together all the separate prayers the utterance of which in recorded in the Bible and publishing them in a separate volume. The Psalms being excluded, the collection is by no means a large one. Mr. Marsh appears to anticipate that, as these petitions are the prayers of persons occupying almost every station in life, and as they were offered in every variety of season, they will be useful as models for prayers under all imaginable circumstances.
