    and it is easy to imagine the impression -which such a sermonso unconventional and so free from

    From Messrs . Strahan & Co . — ' Passages from the Diary of an Early Methodist , ' by the late Richard Bowewith a preface by Thomas Percival Bunting .

    , The tribute which Mr . Euntiiig pays in the preface to the author of this volume is not a whit too — — — enthusiastic — — ___ . It is perfectly trueas he says

    - j ^ , ^ , that ' whether art seeks to realise the ideal , or to idealise the real , the power and habit of minute and accurate observation supply the main element

    ! of success / and it is equally true that this faculty j of careful observation was possessed in no ordi-¦ ! t ¦ ¦ nary j _ j 1 . If measure n ^_ # ^ jw * i i ^* ^ ^^ by w ^ w Richard mm ^ mr ^ ^^ dk ^* w ^ **» Rowe ^ ¦ ^ ¦ ^ ^^ * * ^^ / v Those ^ m ^ ^^ w - ^ r of ^^ ^ our ^^ w ^ v

    J readers who have read his ' Episodes in an Obscure Life' will readily admit the justice of this observation ; and the present workalthough

    substan-, tially a piece of fiction , drawn , not from the life , but from the still lively records of the past , is a worthy effort of the same hand . Mr . Rowe ,

    moreover , as the son of a Methodist preacher who lived in the half-century immediately preceding ' John "Wesley ' s deathwa , s able also to draw to a

    , considerabl V « v e extent . . from * % the * life " ¦ y * some of the . characters he has here set before us , and the result is that we have not only a very attractive

    and readable work , but a conscientious effort to pourtray the life of the earlier Methodists , their home struggles and their curious phraseology . It

    was a somewhat venturesome task which Mr . Rowe undertook , but he discharged it right well ; and his bits of word-painting are as lifelike when

    he is describing the degraded parson as when he sets before us the manners and customs of the followers —¦ of ¦ Mr . Wesley ¦ ¦ . In some ¦ cases _ . _ his

    before the reader the state of feeling in the

    country at the time of the rise of the Methodits body .
