Twenty-One Years in St. George's Mission. By the Rev. C.

F. Lowder, M.A. (Rivingtons.)—Thare is much in this volume with which we feel no sympathy, much from which, did the occasion demand, we should express a most deoided dissent. But we prefer to be silent on these points. Here we have the record of a work carried on with the greatest courage and devotion, under most painful circumstances, some- times even in the midst of no inconsiderable dangers. Such a record can- not fail to interest and touch every reader. Sometimes, for the ludicrous often lies very close to the horrible in these regions, it can hardly fail to amuse him. Of spacial papers, we may notice that in the appendix which tolls the story of the cholera in 1866.
