V. Under the title, ‘“ The Ritual of the English Church,”’ we have, first, a summary of the struggle which began in England in 1833, concerning the interruption ofthe Ar- ticles of the Church , and second, in great- er detail, the attempt made, within the last twenty years, to introduce Catholic usages into the Service of the Church, Then fol- lows a minute account of the interpretation of the Rubrics, particularly those prescrib- ing the position of the priest at the com- munion table. The article closes with a history of the bili recently passed for the regulation of public worship.

We reget that limited space will not per- mit us to do more than speak briefly of the other articles in this number, all of them being deserving of special mention. ‘ Pro. vincial Turkey,’’ by exposing the neglected state of that country, shows how the Otto- man Empire has failed to keep its part of the Treaty of Paris, of 1856. ‘‘ The Repubs lic of Venice : Its Rise, Decline and fall,” and the “ Life of Bishop Patterson,”’ are in« teresting reading ; “ East Anglia: Its Strikes and Lock-Outs,” treats of the ever-recurs ring labour question; Burrows’ “ Worthies of All Souls” is a history of the College of
