DICTIONARY of SECTS, HERE SIES, ECCLESIASTICAL PARTIES, and SCHOOLS of RELI "Taken as a whole, we doubt not that the Dictionary will prove a useful work of reference; and it may claim to give in reasonable compass a mass of information respecting many religious schools, knowledge of which could previously only be acquired from amid a host of literature. The articles are written with great fairness, and in many cases display careful scholarly work."-Athenaum. "A whole library is condensed into this admirable volume. All authorities are named, and an invaluable index is supplied." Notes and Queries. "We have tested it rigidly, and in almost every instance we have been satisfied with the account given under the name of sects, heresy, or ecclesiastical party."-John Bull. "After all deductions, it is the fullest and most trustworthy book of the kind that we possess. The quantity of information it presents in a convenient and accessible form is enormous, and, having once appeared, it becomes indispensable to the theological student." Church Times "It has considerable value as a copious work of reference, more especially since a list of authorities is in most cases supplied. * Examiner. By the same Editor, DICTIONARY of DOCTRINAL and HISTORICAL THEOLOGY. By Various Writers. Second Edition, imperial 8vo. 428.; or half bound in morocco, al. 128. 64. "We know of no book of its size and bulk which supplies the infor mation here given at all, far less which supplies it in an arrangement so accessible, with a completeness of information so thorough, and with an ability in the treatment of profound subjects so great. Dr. Hook's most useful volume is a work of high calibre; but it is the work of a single mind. We have here a wider range of thought from a greater variety of sides. We have here also the work of men who evidently know what they write about, and are somewhat more profound to say the least) than the writers of the current Dictionaries of Sects and Heresies."-Guardian. "Seldom has an English work of equal magnitude been so permested with Catholic instincts, and at the same time seldom bas a work on theology been kept so free from the drift of rhetorical incrustation. Of course, it is not meant that all these remarks apply in their fall extent to every article. In a great dictionary there are compositions, as in a great house there are vessels, of various kinds. Some of these, at a future day, may be replaced by others more substantial in their build, more proportionate in their outline, and more elaborate in their detail. But admitting all this, the whole remains a home to which the student will constantly recur, sure to find spacious chambers, substan tial furniture, and (which is most important) no stinted light" Church Review "The writers who are at work on it are scholars and theologians, and earnest defenders of the Christian faith. They evidently hold fast the fundamental doctrines of Christianity, and have the religious instruction of the rising ministry at heart. Moreover, their schere is a noble one; it does credit, not only to their learning and real, but also to their tact and discretion."-London Quarterly Review. "It will be found of admirable service to all students of theology, s advancing and maintaining the Church's views on all subjects that fall within the range of fair argument and inquiry. It is not often that a work of so comprehensive and so profound a nature is marked to the very end by so many signs of wide and careful research, sound criticism, and well-founded and well expressed belief."-Standard. "The second and final instalment of Mr. Blunt's useful Dictionary, itself but a part of a more comprehensive plan, is now before the public, and fully sustains the mainly favourable impression created by the appearance of the first part. Within the sphere it has marked out for itself, no equally useful book of reference exists in English for the elucidation of theological problems.... Entries which displa much care, research, and judgment in compilation, and which will make the task of the parish priest who is brought face to face with any of the practical questions which they involve far easier than has been hitherto. The very fact that the utterances are here and there somewhat more guarded and hesitating than quite accords with our judgment, is a gain in so far as it protects the work from the charge of inculcating extreme views, and will thus secure its admission in many places where moderation is accounted the crowning grace." Church Times "Infinitely the best book of the kind in the language; and, if not the best conceivable, it is perhaps the best we are ever likely to see within its compass as to size and scope. Accurate and succinct in statement, it may safely be trusted as a handbook as regards facts, while, in our judgment, this second part still maintains the character we gave the first-namely, of showing most ability in its way of treating the more abstract and metaphysical side of theological ques tions. The liturgical articles also in this part deserve especial mention The book is sure to make its own way by sheer force of usefulness" Literary Churchman.

TRUE LIFE of the late HENRY FOTHERGILL CHORLEY. "Boston, Oct. 1, 1874. "The great literary event of the season has been Dr. Henry W. Longfellow's poem of "The Hanging of the Crane." which was read here this evening by Mr. Sidney Woolet, of London. There was a large and intelligent audience assembled, and previous to the reading of the poem the Rev. Mr. Murray delivered his new lecture on Poverty." Then Mr. Wollet was introduced, and went on with Mr. Longfellow's poem as follows': "We were not aware that in taking the poem from amongst other matter commonly available in the American files we were infringing any copyright. Had we known that we were doing so, or that the poem had already been published in this country, we certainly should not have reprinted it. Messrs. Routledge's information is only now before us, and we take the first opportunity to express our regret that we should in any way have infringed their rights. "Messrs. Routledge inform us that the poem was published by them in February last, and that they are about to publish another edition of it, illustrated by eminent American artists.""
