Cyclopaedia of Illustrations for Public Speakers. Compiled and edited by

Robert Scott and William C. Stiles (Funk and Wagnalls Co. 21s. net.)—This work is described as "containing facts, incidents, stories, experiences, anecdotes, selections, &c., for illus- trative purposes." The editors have charge of the Homiletic Review. This indicates that illustrations which may serve the purposes of the preacher are not absent; they do not dominate the book, which will be found helpful in dealing with any topic.
