Well Begun. By Joseph Parker, D.D. (Nisbet.)—We are not always

able to praise Di'. Parker's utterances, but he is at his best in this volume. It is full of plain sense plainly put, but with a certain freshness and originality of manner that gives no little attraction to it. Dr. Parker's precepts are excellent, and his examples altogether to the point. The sketches of John Ryland and George Moore are admirable.
