Welsh Political and Educational Leaders. Edited by the Rev. J.

Vyrnwy Morgan, D.D. (Jai-lies Nisbet and Co. 16s.)—No one can complain of any want of catholicity in Dr. Morgan's selection of his leaders. Bishops such as Dr. Burgess (founder of Lam; peter College) and Dr. Connop Thirlwall ; Deans as Dr. Colton of Bangor and Dr. Vaughan of Llandaff ; politicians of either side as Lord Plymouth and Mr. Lloyd George ; Anglican clergy- men and ministers of various denominations; men of letters finch es Sir Lewis Morris,—all these classes figure in these pages. Everything is necessarily brief, but the impression left•by the whole is deep. No one can doubt that the Welsh are'very much' in earnest, both in politics and in education. Happily in the latter they can find common ground of meeting. The volume is plentifully illustrated with portraits.
