Sermons to Young Boy& By Rev. F. de W. Lushington.

(John Murray. 3s. 6d.)—This book of sermons is mure remarkable from its promise than for its actual performance. Almost every sermon contains some illuminating tam* or happy illustration, but the arrangement of the subjects tilWves a great deal to be desired. We should have judged them to be, for the most part, considerably over the heads of young boys ; but a great deal depends upon delivery in making difficult thoughts intelligible ; and if Mr. Lushington knows he has succeeded in teaching his young boys by these sermons, he is to be congratulated.
