rhymes and words are very queer: such as nebulæ' and 'obey,' ‘peak' and stake,' 'out' and chariot;' and mintages, such as 'eterne,' 'effringing,'' pave' (for pavement), atramental,' 'efflote.' We give Mr. Strong the benefit of a careless printer; but such words as Asinoe, Cassiopea, Ursus major, have an odd look.
'Christian Heroism' (Burns, Walters), by Mr. J. Mason Neale, is a collection of tales, inculcating the higher range of the Christian character, for the use of young people, told with that writer's well-known power.
The labours of the Oxford Architectural Society are very gratifying; but will they allow us to suggest that they might cull the public reports of their 'Proceedings' with advantage? The exhibition of the process of acquiring knowledge is not very useful: we allude to the debate on Romanesque.

Mr. Gresley's little work on the English Church' has reached a second edition, published in a cheap form for distribution.
'A Letter to the Pew-Renters of Stamford-hill Chapel,' by Mr. Heathcote, has just reached us. It deserves a very attentive reading, and indicates a much higher tone on the "Innovation" question than we have heard lately. The right ground is to prove that ritual and ceremonial are a privilege. If congregations claim from their pastors the abandonment of privilege, let them feel that with their heart's desire,' they receive 'leanness to their souls.'
It seems superfluous to do more than announce a volume from Archdeacon Manning. (Parker, Rivingtons.) The conclusion of the 5th November Sermon gives a very favourable specimen of this author's style, which, if it has a tendency towards deterioration, seems slightly deficient in sinew. It is almost too graceful: the language flows on with so rich a melody, that we are almost detained from the solemn thoughts by the sweet music in which they float.

Of general Sermons, we have to acknowledge volumes by Mr. Armstrong of Exeter, on the Festivals' (Oxford, Parker), very sound. Six Sermons at the consecration of S. John's, Jedburgh, (Grant & Burns) in which one by Mr. Keble is singularly effective. Expository discourses by Mr. Berkeley Addison of Edinburgh. Also very earnest and seasonable single Sermons, by Mr. Oldknow, of Birmingham, on 'Sacerdotal Remission and Retaining Sins;' by Mr. Cecil Wray, of Liverpool, on Ritual Conformity;' by Mr. Browne, of Bawdsey, Suffolk, on Fasting;' by Mr. C. G. Perceval, Plain Lectures on the Gospel of St. Matthew;' the first of four volumes on the same subject.
