Words of Counsel. By J. B. Pearson, LL.D. (Elliot Stock.)—

This volume is, in fact, the commonplace book of the late Dr. Pearson, who, after some years spent in the bishopric of New- c istle, N.S.W., became vicar of an English living, and died there some few months ago. It will be prized, both for its own sake and as a memorial of a good and able man.
