The Life and Friendships of Catherine Marsh. By L. E.

O'Rorke. (Longmans and Co. 10s. 6d. net.)—Miss Catherine Marsh, who died in 1912 at the great age of ninety-four, was, in the Primate's phrase, " the veteran pioneer of women's evangelistic forces in the England of to-day." The value of her unobtrusive labours in all good causes was incalculable, and those who knew her will be glad to read this carefully written memoir, with its many letters from her friends, among whom was numbered Mr. Gladstone.
