John Howard. By the Rev. IL H. Scullard, M.A. (Hazen,
Watson, and Viney. 2s.)—Mr. Scullard, who is the minister of the "Howard Congregational Church, Bedford," here publishes a lecture which he delivered "in connection with the Bedford and District Free Church Council,"—a somewhat obscure phrase. It does not claim to be an exhaustive account of the great reformer, but it may be called a fairly satisfactory account of the man and his work. Mr. Scullard is, we think, not always very wise in his dicta, but his narrative is readable, while the illustrations with which he has equipped his book are highly interesting. There is a portrait, and photographs of various localities and objects at home and abroad with which the name of Howard is connected. How beautiful is the inscription on his tomb at Stepanooka "Whoever thou art, thou standest at the tomb of thy friend."
