Godii Word and Man's Heart. Sermons preached befOre the 'Univer-

sity of Oxford by the Bishop of Lincoln. (W. Skeffingt2n.)—In the first four of these five sermons, which are all more or less addressed a the theological questions of the hour, Dr. Jackson insists 'on.the adapta- tion of the great doctrines of our faith to the moral nature of man. In the last he warns his hearers against excessive ritualism and excessive faith, contending for a more careful study of the evidences of religion as "a part of liberal education." All these discourses are written in a clear and vigorous style, and with that moderation and good sense for which the Bishop is noted.
