Memorials of the Rev. John Frederick Stevenson. By his Wife.
(J. Clarke and Co.)—We may commend this volume to our readers. Dr. Stevenson's name must be known to many of them. He was a Nonconformist minister (as a Baptist first, and afterwards as an Independent), and filled for a short time, till, in fact, the total breakdown of his health, the post vacated by the death of Mr. Baldwin Brown. We have here an interesting memoir from tie pen of his wife, and a selection from his sermons, under the headings of " Ethical " and "Theological," the latter being of an apologetic character, dealing with common difficulties in the acceptance of Revelation. The last of the sermons is a fragment. Its subject is "The Glorious Body," and was the last which he preached. A notice of Professor Elmalie is added, as being" in many respects singularly descriptive of the writer himself."
