The Influence of Dean Colet upon the Reformation of the
English Church. By the Rev. J. H. Lupton. (Bell and Sons.)—This is a careful review of the position and work of the munificent Founder of St. Paul's School. Mr. Lupton has served the school well for now many years, and he adds no little to this service by his thoughtful and learned appreciation of its Founder. Whatever we may think of the men who had an actual part in the revolt of England from the Papacy—and they must be judged according to the immense difficulties in which they found themselves—there can be no doubt 'what must be our judgment of the Dean, a Reformer in heart and spirit, who was happily spared the painful task of translating his thought into action. We should rather say that " a more excellent way " of so doing was opened to him, which he followed with a most entire devotion and singleness of heart.
