The Mela at Tulsipur. By the Rev. B. H. Badley.

(Religious Tract Society.)-1 " tnela " is a religious fair, something, we may presume, like a Breton pardon ; and Mr. Badley, who gives as a second title to his book—" Glimpses of Missionary Life and Work in India "—describes it and many other things which have come under his observation from personal experience. Most of the accounts that we have of missionary work in India refer to the field of its greatest successes, the South. The writer of the volume before us laboured in the North, not far from the Himalayas. This gives a certain novelty to his narrative. We are glad to see that he is not, on the whole, dissatisfied with his success.
