Memoir of the Rev. Henry Watson Fen, B.A. By the
Rev. G. T. Fox. (Religious Tract Society.)—This is a new edition of a book which was first published about thirty years ago. The subject of it was educated at Rugby, wont out as a missionary to Southern India, and there died, in his thirty-second year. A piety of a very strongly- marked typo had left an impression of itself which resulted in the foundation of a missionary fund at his old school. There his memory is annually commemorated by a sermon, and it is, in part, to meet the desire fur some more information about him that this new edition of his life is published. We could not wish, indeed, it would-be hopeless to wish, that such boys wore common ; but that when they are found they exercise a singular and abiding in- fluence, is beyond doubt. Young Fox was a fully-developed saint, and MS letters, though they will shock many by the absolute un- reserve with which they speak of religious feeling, present a remark- able study.
