Eugime Bersier's Pulpit. By J. F. B. Tinling, B.A. (Hodder

and Stoughton. Is. Gcl.)—There can be no doubt about the utility of this book, in which Mr. Tinling has analysed all the published sermons of M. Bersier. A reader who knows the sermons as they were preached—and nothing finer has been heard for many a day from a French pulpit—may be inclined to grumble at these " skeletons," but it would be ungracious. Mr. Tinling does what he can. Let us hope that he will send not a few readers to the noble originals.
