The Life of Oar Lord ,feasts Christ, by Emma Marshall
(Nisbet and Co.), has reached its fourth thousand. It is told in the simplest language, and is intended for " very young children." The illustra- tions are good.—Lady Brassey publishes with Messrs. Longman and Co., a popular edition of In the Trades, the Tropics, and the "Roaring Forties."—We have also to acknowledge a reprint of The Spirit of Prayer, Part I. By William Law. Edited by George Pitt. (It. B. Murdoch.)—Mr. Pitt edited this treatise eleven years ago, and now brings it out again, feeling that its value as a spiritual guide cannot be overestimated. " I have read all standard Quaker works with intense unity. I have also read all known spiritual writers in the world with much general satisfaction. After all that, I turn to my first love, W. Law's Spirit of Prayer, and conclude it stands far above all." So writes the editor, and there are many, doubtless, who will feel that be does not express himself too strongly.
