the greatest authorities during , many generations rid have ge spofcen and Carl in yle term were s of much high impressed laudation . with Cole its
value , and C . H . Spurgeon remarks : ' It is a rich mine ; every page of it is as precious as solid gold . Books nowadays are hammered out , and
you get but little metal in acres of leaf ; but the journal of George Fox contains ingots of gold ; truths which require to — be thought of — month by

America and Canada , ' by the Hev . John Kerr Campbell , D . D . This is a pleasantly written little book _ - giving an account of the author ' s
-, - - m ^ -j - — _ - - ^ - experiences during ^ a holiday trip in the autumn of 1885 . It is doubtful , however , whether it will be sufficiently novel to interest the ordinary
reader . Now-a-days the United States and Canada liave been so frequently described before that unless an author be a man of exceeding n ly
acute observation and originality of style his work has little chance of wide success . But probably to this position Dr . Campbell has little
thought of aspiring , and to the circle of home readers his volume , we have little doubt , will prove highly acceptable .
