Paul Church, Cornwall. By C. Aitken. (Newlyn Press, Newlyn. ls.)—Paul

Parish is two and a half miles south of Penzance on Mount's Bay. Here we have a guide to the antiquities of the church, with a general description of the locality. The church was burnt by the Spaniards in 1595, but not entirely destroyed, and the inhabitants seem to have shown a very commendable activity in restoring it. We would point out to Mr. Aitken that he has misquoted Gray when he makes him say of the village patriot that he "The little tyrant of his age withstood."

This is exactly what he had no opportunity of doing. "Of his fields" is quite another matter. " Breast" has been misprinted "breath."
