The Finding of the Saviour in the Temple. By Rev.

Richard Glover, M.A. (W. Hunt and Co.)—Mr. Glover is the Incumbent of Christ Church,

Dover, and this volume contains a series of sermons he preached on the occasion of Mr. Holman Hunt's picture being exhibited in that town. The idea was certainly good, as people who had marvelled at the skill of the painter would be the more ready to hear an exposition of the inner meaning of his work. They would for once have something to connect Sunday with week-days and religion with life. Perhaps Mr. Glover's execution is not equal to the conception, and he does not at- tempt to reproduce in words the charm of the picture. But we do not expect Fine-Art criticism or anthetic description in the pulpit.
