The King's Windows ; or, Glimpses of the Wonderful Works
of God. By Rev. E. Paxton Hood. With 41 illustrations. (R.T.S.)—This book, which is well got up and well illustrated, is a reprint of papers which appeared originally in the Sunday at Home for 1881. Its publication was the last literary work of the author, who has lately died. The thirteen chapters into which the book is divided treat, under happy titles, of several of the main branches of physical science, with which he shows himself to be well acquainted. The book does not profess to give more than "glimpses ;" bat they are shown in such a way as is likely to stimulate the curiosity of the young in conjunction with religious feelings, which is the author's main object. Good selections of poetry, drawn from many different sources, are freely inter- spersed, and add to the value and attractiveness of the descriptions.
