soon, which it seems to us must be OF great
use, especially to students and ministers. Ii

tainS references to the principal works In every
department of religious literature, tOpically
and alphabetically arranged. For example, II
any one wishes to study the subject of Re
generation, he will fnd under that head III
this book, the titles to various books or reviews
in which that subject Is discussed, and viii
know at once where TO 20 for information.
The book has grown up under DR.. Malcolm

last forty years, and Is the result of his expe-
rience. We think it will be of essential ser
vice to his younger acknowledgement.
