Threefold Praise, and other Verses. By Frances Ridley Havergal. (Nisbet

and Co.)—Here we have some thirty pieces from the pen of Miss Havergal, prettily illustrated with borders of flowers and -fruit, landscapes, &c. When we say that the pictures are not un- worthy of the hymns and extracts from poems, we have said enough.—Another volume of a devotional kind is Holy Seasons of the Church, (S.P.C.K.), "a Selection in Verse and Prose from the Writings of Various Authors." Compiled and illustrated by E. Beatrice Coles.
