The Christian Reformer. No. 1. (Williams and Norgate.)—We have all
good wishes for this new " monthly magazine of liberal religious thought and life." Though the views expressed in the Editor's Introduction are not to our mind, the programme there set forth promises usefulness. Indeed, we cannot hope any- thing better for the Christian Reformer than that they should be faithfully carried out. The most interesting and valuable contribu- tion to the present number is Dr. Upton's essay on " Dr. Carpenter : as a Psychologist and Theologian ;" its value is in no small degree in- creased by Dr. James Martinean's note appended to it. This gives a concise view of a noteworthy argument on the subject of miracles. The " Reminiscences of Continental Travel Fifty Years Ago," by the late Mr. Wicksteed, are scarcely in place, occupying room which might be more appropriately filled. Mr. V. D. Davis gives an im- partial account of Dean Church's sermons "On the Formation of Christian Character," and Mr. R. A. Armstrong writes in a some- what discouraging tone about the "New Parliament."
