REVIEW OF REVIEWS.

The Leading Illustrated Church Review.

Rev. CANON

EDITED BY

FLEMING, B.D.

The Religious Review of Reviews, June 15th.-In several respects we greatly prefer this Review to the Review of the Churches. A publication which has one aim and one editor must, of course, have a directness and compactness which a journal edited by half-a-dozen people, representing so many different forms and phases of opinion, must necessarily lack. The number opens with an account of a very interesting interview with the Bishop of Capetown. Then follows a good hard paper on "The Leverage of Logic," by Rev. Compton Readc. It is a plea for a new work on the subject. We think Whately's logic is rather hardly dealt with in this essay, and such writers as Mill, Mansel, and Sir William Hamilton are dismissed in a sentence. Too great an attempt is made to put a very big subject in a nutshell. It needs to be much more expanded, illustrated, and proved from the writer's point of view. There is an admirable paper by the editor on "The Art of Reading," and the tone of the whole Review is thoroughly refreshing and bracing. We would most decidedly advise our clerical brethren to invest in it in preference to such monthlies as the Churchman and the Clergyman's Magazine. It is really marvellous value for the money, only 6d. Of course, men with plenty of sixpences to spend can take numerous magazines, but for a man of good Church principles, with only one to invest every month in such literature,、 The Religious Review of Reviews is the one. It is a case of "eclipse first, the rest nowhere."' IRISH ECCLESIASTICAL GAZETTE, June 29, 1894.

HEART OF OAK: a Three-Stranded Yarn.

By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of The Convict Ship.' 3 vols, crown 8vo. 15s. Det

Mr. Clark Russell's excellent new story. . . . It requires the genius of a Clark Russell in his own parties line to make all this appear possible, and to keep the interest steadily increasing to the finish. But the dif task is accomplished, and only one or two of the author's previous stories could be mentioned as more succent.. or more distinctive in their plot and construction, than "Heart of Oak."'—ATHENEUM.

The extraordinary narrative seems so veracious and is so exciting that every reader will find himself tady the warmest interest in the fate and possible fortunes of the castaways. The perils of the deep were never becz painted in words; and the story is as bracing and healthy as the polar atmosphere in which its incidents nov. It is an excellent sea-story, which has all the good qualities for which its author's books are admired, and wall will maintain and confirm his reputation.'-SCOTSMAN.

"In "Heart of Oak" the descriptive passages are fully equal in vividness and beauty to those in any of long line of predecessors. We think it likely that Mr. Russell's admirers (whose name is legion) vill inclined to feel that they can get as much of the ocean as they need by staying comfortably at home and rai

tales like "Heart of Oak."'-DAILY CHRONICLE.

...

'Mr. Olark Russell's hand has lost none of its cunning. From the first page the reader's attention secured.... The reader would hardly thank us for spoiling by premature disclosure his enjoyment s thrilling a tale. Those who want to get away from weary or unsavoury problems into an atmosphe honest romance and adventure cannot do better than yield themselves to the spell of this "three-str yarn."'-GLASGOW HERALD.

The marvel of it is that Mr. Russell's imagination never flags, nor is he ever at a loss for those minute dab which, skilfully and artistically piled up, go to make a living picture. "Heart of Oak" is worthy to take in the matchless roll of his sea-stories. Of living writers Mr. Russell, alike in style and method, most restį approaches the classic standard of Defoe.'- PUNCH.

"Heart of Oak" is an extremely clever and uncommonly lively book.-LEEDS MERCURY.

A story which will hold the reader's close attention from beginning to end.'-LITERARY WORLD. Mr. Russell has adopted, I think for the first time, on this occasion Wilkie Collins's plan of telling h by different witnesses, as in a court of law, and the result is successful.-JAMES PAYN in the ILLOSTRA LONDON NEWS.

'Mr. Clark Russell has built up as thrilling and startling a romance as any we have had from his pen The story has, of course, a happy ending-Mr. Russell is the friend of happy endings, and we like him all better for being so.... He keeps the heart of his reader palpitating with interest and excitement from the f

page to the last.'-SPEAKER.

The latest of these romances may vie with the earliest in attractions; as an effort of imagin irreducible to pure reason, we rate it alongside of "The Death Ship," and we mean this estimate for high past.

The plot is skilfully constructed, the dialogue is crisp, there is no violation of the probabilities, and interest of the reader is never allowed to flag.'-GLASGOW HERALD.

A very good story.... Mr. Robinson knows how to tell a story as a story should be told. His f dramatic, his characters are alive, his style is crisp and graphic, and, above all, he knows how and when etop.
