The Gospel in Bohemia. By G. Jane Whateley. (Religious Tract

Society.)-We have in this volume a short but interesting sketch of the history of the Christian Church in Bohemia down to the fatal battle of the Weiesenborg in 1620. The greater part of the book consists of the story of the persecution of the Protestant party in Bohemia after that battle, and the extinction of Protestantism in those lands. The story is abridged from the old chronicle in Latin, compiled by Amos Coraminius, Bishop of the Bohemian Brethren's Church, and is full of interest and pathos. A brief account is added of the resuscitation of this crushed Church, through the labours of Count Zinzondorf and others, and its re-establishment as the Moravian Church. This little book deserves a wide popularity.
