My Life. By William Mair, D.D. (Hodder and Stoughton. 6s.)-Anyone

who wants to know the actual working of eccle- siastical matters in Scotland cannot do better than read Dr. Mair's autobiography. He tells us of his parochial experience, and he has a good deal to say about the General Assembly and its debates. He has regularly attended its Sessions, has taken a prominent part in is deliberations, and was Moderator in 1897. The subjects of Patronage, the Relaxation of Tests, Union with other Presbyterian bodies, are familiar to him.
