The papers in the October number of the Church Quarterly
(a number which, by-the-way, has almost too mach of a Jubilee look) that the layman will find most readable are Fifty Years of English Art" and "Shelley and the Shelley Society." The Shelley paper is fuller stoat, old-fashioned English morality, and is vigorously written. It is to be regretted, however, that its author, in his contempt for the ultra-Shelleyans, should have said anything about their habits, dress, or personal appearance, and should have told us that "they may be known by their low tarn-down collars, by their cadaverous countenance, and would-be poetic aspect." Of the other and more " professional " papers in this number of the Church Quarterly, "The National Synod," "Religion in Ireland, Past and Present," and "Sceptical Christianity" merit careful reading. The last should provoke controversy.
