Come Ye Apart. By the Rev. T. R. Miller, D.D.
(Sunday School Union.)—This is a volume of " Daily Readings," arranged for the whole year. The author dates, we see, from Philadelphia, and this is a copyright edition. It is less useful than it might otherwise be for Church of England readers, because it takes no account of the Anglican Calendar. No fault, of course; but simply from our point of view a disadvantage.—With this may be mentioned, A Book of Thoughts. By Mary B. Curry. (T. Fisher Unwin.)—The compiler adds the words "linked with memories of John Bright." These may be best explained by the following words quoted from the preface :—" It occurred to me that it would be a pleasure to preserve some record of the passages of prose and poetry peculiarly associated with my father's memory, and which, as much during the busy years of his life, as during times of greater leisure and of illness, were to him a constant source of mental and spiritual refreshment." Some of the passages were marked by his own hand in the books from which they have been taken; others were well known to those about him as favourite passages. It will be interesting to give a list of the authors most frequently used :—James Russell Lowell, .15 ; Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 14; Lewis Morris, 14; Whittier, 13; Archbishop Trench, 11; Wordsworth, 9 ; A. A. Proctor, 8 ; T. T. Lynch, 7.
