A TREASURY OF PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE. Collected and set in order by LOUISA FRANCES POULTER.

"This book is a collection of choice readings, divided into four sections. The first two are from writers on divine subjects, ancient and modern; the third is occupied by writers upon miscellaneous topics, the selections all being in harmony with a religious spirit; the fourth is composed wholly of passages intended to breathe consolation to the bereaved. Miss Poulter's religious feeling is entirely separate from the dissentions of the day. It regards the essence of Christianity, and awakens only the most universal and Catholic emotions. Therefore it is that her treasury -which contains just and beautiful thoughts of all kinds from writers themselves conflicting much in opinion on points of discipline-among contemporaries, for example, from the Vicar of Frome and Archdeacon Manning, as well as from Mr. Maurice, Thomas Carlyle, and Walter Savage Landor-is one out of which men of all sects may draw stores for the increase of their own wealth. So choice is the fruit offered us here from the best trees of a most extensive orchard-and though it is true that in our greediness we could wish Miss Poulter had gone to some trees that have been passed by, this cannot be said in blame; for when the lap is full the gathering must cease. In the whole lapful there is nothing that we wish to throw away; we may, therefore, all sit down and be thankful to the bringer of the feast."-EXAMINER.
