Voices of Sacred Song for Quiet Hours, from One Hunared

Authors-, edited by W. F. Oilmen (London, J. Nisbet, 1864), is an elegant little volume, for which the best poems of religious authors and the most religious poems of authors generally admired have been carefully and not unsuccessfully selected. No sectarian tenets or sentiments appear to have been peculiarly favoured in it. The arrangement is not suited for continuous perusal, but will enable every reader soon to dis- cover his favourite poet.
