The Success of Christian Missions. By Robert Young. (Hodder and

Stoughton.)—This volume is valuable as a collection of interesting quotations, if for no other reason. Mr. Young, although an earnest believer in Christian Missions, gives both sides of a deeply interesting and frequently recurring question ; and his volume may fairly, therefore, be regarded much in the same way as are Mr. Sydney Buxton's well-known political " manuals." Mr. Young is a Scotchman, and not the least interesting portion of his volume is that in which he indicates the attitude of the Church of Scotland towards Missions in the days of " Moderate" ascendency.
