she has enjoyed opportunities of the social kind that do not fall to many.'--_Westminster Gazette_. * * * * * MEMORIALS OF THE VERY REV. W.C. LAKE, D.D., DEAN OF DURHAM, 1869-1894. Edited by his Widow, KATHARINE LAKE. One volume, 8vo., with Photogravure Portrait, 16s. At the time of his death in 1897, the late Dean of Durham was engaged upon his Reminiscences, but they were unfortunately left in a very fragmentary and incomplete condition. Mrs. Lake has, however, put the MSS. in order, with the co-operation of Canon Rawlinson, of Canterbury, and supplemented it with such additional materials as were in her possession, including a selection from the Dean's full and varied correspondence. Dean Lake was a Fellow and Tutor of Balliol during the height of the Oxford Movement, and was afterwards a member of the famous Royal Commission on Education, which may be said to have laid the foundation for all subsequent legislation on the subject. He was on intimate terms with the leading men in the English Church during an eventful period of its history, but, though a strong Churchman, he was a thorough man of the world, of broad views and wide culture. Mrs. Lake has been permitted to publish letters to her husband from his numerous friends, including Arch-bishop Tait, Dean Church, Dean Stanley, Mr. Gladstone, Canon Liddon, Dr. Pusey, Lord Halifax, and others--letters that not only add considerably to our knowledge of those distinguished characters, but contain many valuable comments upon large questions of permanent interest. * * * * * WITH RIMINGTON.

By JAMES ADDERLEY, AUTHOR OF 'FRANCIS, THE LITTLE POOR MAN OF ASSISI,' 'STEPHEN REMARX,' ETC. Small crown 8vo., elegantly bound, with devotional Portrait, 3s. 6d. This little life of St. Vincent de Paul does not aim at supplanting larger biographies, but it contains enough to make the reader feel that to know nothing of St. Vincent would be a serio
