The Psalter and Canticles Pointed for Chanting. By the Rev.

Henry Pullen. (Macmillan.)—There are considerable novelties in the arrange- ment of bars and the pointing of this psalter, but without deciding the question, we think Mr. Pullen has a right to be heard. Some of tho remarks in his preface are very sensible, though slightly bitter in their tone. The concluding sentence addressed to singers in general, "try to feel the meaning of what you sing, and to look as if you felt it," would make the writer no small stock of enemies, if people could have a mirror held up to them while they were singing.
