Kempis. (Arthur L. Humphreys.)—This is an edition of the De

Imitatione Christi of the simplest kind. There is no ornament, no annotation, no surroundings of any kind, but large type, showing clearly against dead-white paper. Every one's taste will not be the same, but to some minds this will be an ideal form of a book of devotion ; there is absolutely nothing to distract the attention.
