Sunday Echoes in Weekday Hours : a Tale illustrative of

the Miracles. By Mrs. Carry Brock. (Seeley.)—We can but expect that a tale in which the Old and New Testament miracles are illustrated by the history of a few months in the lives of a few very excellent but rather common-place people should be forced in style and full of im- probable incidents. The author should really have omitted the miracle of " Elisha and the Bears," and not have condemned a young boy to be shot dead for merely chaffing the curate.
