Scribncr & Co. of New York have recentlv
published Manual of Worship for all
Christian people" entitled "A Selection of
Spiritual Songs with Music for the Choir"
The author is Chas S. Robinson. of New
York, who has before this prepared two differ
ent works of a character somewhat similar
10 the present. In style the work is very fine,
being beautifully printed on excellent paper,
with gilt edges, and handsomely bound in dark
cloth. In it we find all the best of the spr-
ituai songs extant, all the most clevating and
inspiring sacred hymns in use. 1t is a rich
production Of its kind, and will undoubtedly
meet with general favor where it is used.
