e We have received three volumes of a series entitled
"County Churches" (G. Allen and Sons). These are Norfolk, North and South, 2 vols., by J. Charles Cox, LL.D. (3s. net each), and Surrey, by J. C. Morris, M.A: (2s. 6d. net). They aim at being "compre- hensive, handy guides at a modest price," and this excellent purpose is, as far as we can judge, well carried out. Space has to be severely limited. In Norfolk there are more than six hundred and fifty -churches, and the two volumes, though of ample dimensions in view of the price, do not contain as many pages. The plan of the series is such that our function is fulfilled when we have recorded and welcomed its appearance.—With these may be mentioned The Parish Churches of the Diocese of Canterbury, by Thomas H. Oyler (Hunter and Longhurst, 10s. 6d. net). This, it will be seen, is on a larger scale. The pictures, taken from photographs, are a principal feature. Brief notes give the age, the style, and other details.
