The Progress of Being. By the Rev. David Thomas. (Jackson

WaHord, and Hodder.)—Mr. Thomas "respectfully recommends" people to read his book on the "Crisis of Being" before they read this. We have pleasure in seconding the recommendation. It will at all events save them from that which it has been our cruel destiny to read, or try to read ; or if it does not, will show they do not deserve to be saved.
