We have received from Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode an "In

Memoriam" edition of the Book of Common Prayer, together with Hymns, Ancient and Modern (3s.) Prefixed are the "Special Forms of Service to be used on the Day of the Funeral or within the Octave." One of the best of the photographs of the Queen serves as frontispiece. The volume is bound in violet leather, flexible, with a wreath in silver, including the word "In Memoriam," the monogram of V.R.I., and the dates 1837-1901. It is somewhat Erastian, -with its wreath instead of a cross and the Royal like- ness inside, but it is a pretty little volume.
