Alexander Raleigh : Records of his Life. Edited by Mary

Raleigh. (A. and C. Black.)—For this work we have nothing but good words, and it is one of those for which the fewest are the best. All that is told of Mr. Raleigh in this volume goes to justify the adoption of the motto on the title-page of the memoir, taken from Bayard Taylor :— " The healing of the world Is in its nameless saints. Buell separate star Seems nothing, but a myriad eouiteeed stars Break up the night, and make it beautiful."
