Bishops of the Day. By Frederic Sawrey Lowndes. (Grant Richards.)—It

is needless to say much about this volume beyond what is told in the sub-title, "A Biographical Dictionary of the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of England and of all Churches in Communion therewith throughout the 'World." The total number is three hundred and eighteen, of whom forty- five are without Sees. Eleven are octogenarians, thirty-four septuagenarians. About thirteen are under forty.
