A Garner of Gleanings. By the Lady Knightley of Fawsley.

(Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—This is a volume of wise sayings, happy phrases, lofty thoughts, gathered from a wide circle of authors both new and old, expressed both in verse and in prose. One we may quote because it cannot be heard too often; it was written by Bunsen :—" Let it never be forgotten that Christianity is not thought, but action; not a system, but a life." It is a pity that a little book which is not meant to be read through, but to be kept, should not have been put into a more durable form.
