It was observed on the death of the late Lord

Radstock that an English nobleman who devoted his life to missionary enterprise of the "Revivalist" type was an unusual, if not a unique, phenomenon. The " interpretation and record" of his remarkable career, sympathetically written by Mrs. Edward Trotter -under the title of Lord Radstock (Hodder and Stoughton, 3s. 6d.), should find many interested readers. The author follows the order adopted by the Roman Catholic Church in the biographies of her saints, dealing in turn with the life, the virtues, and the miracles—the last being repre- sented by the results of Lord Radstock's evangelistic labours in England, Russia, Sweden, and other countries.
