Church and Chapel. Edited by the Rev. R. H. Haddon.
(Smith, Elder, and Co.)—Five preachers—viz., the late Dean of Westminster, and Messrs. Brooke Lambert, R. H. Redden, A. J. Ross, and S. A. Barnett—preached these sermons in the Lent of last year, dealing therein with the principles and constitution of the great religious communities of this country ; the Dean treating of the Church of England, Mr. Lambert of the Baptists, Mr. Ross of the Presbyterians, Mr. Barnett of the Society of Friends, and the Editor of the Inde- pendents and Methodists. These sermons resemble each other in the liberality and sympathy with which differences of opinion and practice are treated. If the several bodies described do not think them adequate—and this they can hardly seem—they will not refuse to give them the credit of fairness. Comprehension may be impos- sible, and even undesirable, but an union that will go a long way towards supplying its place will be helped on by such volumes as this.
