Thoughts by the Way. By Canon 'Woodhouse. (S.P.C.K.)— It would

have added to the interest of this little volume if some indication had been given in it of the occasions which prompted the first writing, or speaking, of the papers it contains. They are very short, and read almost like notes or sketches for longer works, though they are more carefallY written than is usually the case with such things. There is much freehness and vitality about these "Thoughts," and they have a pleasant power of bringing old truths into touch with modern, needs with no loss of reverence.
