A Book of Remembrance in Relation to the Mystery of
God. (W. Poole.)—" The subject of this work," says the author, in his preface, "is a very high one." We have certainly found it hard to understand, and indeed, have only gathered that it discusses the fulfilment of pro- phecy. It is curious to find the statement that in 1828 the English nation ",began to bring forth the fruits of the kingdom of God, by numerous successive Acts of Parliament, and to cease to speak as a dragon." Among those Acts are mentioned the Roman Catholic Emancipation and the Irish Church Disestablishmont Acts. Archdeacon Denison would not be inclined to take this view. The last statement in the volume seems to have an immediate interest,—that "the accept- able year of the Lord began on the 1st of March, 1878." It is some- what disappointing, on the lot of November, to find that it seems to have had so little effect in making the world either wiser or bettor.
