SOME BOOKS OF THE WEEK.
I Under this heckling we notice such Bouks of the wee): as tare not boon reurred for review in other forms.] The Christian World Pulpit of .14nuary 30th, 1901 (13 Fleet Street, ld.), gives "Memorial Sermons" preached in many places on the Sunday that followed the death of Queen Victoria, among them being the discourses of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Winchester, the Deans of Westminster and Windsor Canons Scott Holland and Hensley Henson. Of preachers outside the Anglican Church we have Doctors Donald Macleod, Joseph Parker, John Clifford, Alexander Maclaren, and John Watson. and Messrs. Greenough and Price Hughes. We do not intend to criticise or compare. Perhaps we may mention the very noble passage in which Canon Henson speaks of the Edwards in English history. Canon Henson is a newcomer at Westminster, and this discourse gives a happy augury of what may be expected from him. On the whole, the collection does honour to the pulpit of this country. It was a great occasion, and these preachers, at least, and many others, we believe, were not unequal to it.—We may mention in this connection a second edition of Events of the Reign, compiled by Frederick Hyland (G. Allen, ls. and ls. 6d.)
