"This Church of England." By George A. Cobbold, B.A. (A.
R. Mowbray and Co. ls. 6d.)—There is no need to notice in detail the four "Addresses" which make up the contents of this volume. Past, present, and future are viewed from the High Anglican position. We may notice, however, that the author emphatically disclaims the statement that ritual does not symbolize doctrine. Eucharistic vestments, for instance, proclaim "the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ's Body and Blood, veiled beneath the outward forms of bread and wine," an ex- pression that certainly harmonizes with Transubstantiation. Mr. Cobbold is, of course, very contemptuous of " Protestantism," and has for this and for the rest of his book the imprimatur of Dr. Grafton, Bishop of Fond du Lac, a prelate of the Church which formally designates itself the "Protestant Episcopal Church -of the United States of America."
