“_There is a copious index, and the whole volume forms a Handy-book of Church Law down to the present time, which, if found on the library shelves of most of the clergy, would often save them from much unnecessary trouble, vexation, and expense._”――NATIONAL CHURCH. =THOUGHTS ON PERSONAL RELIGION=; being a Treatise on the Christian Life in its Two Chief Elements, Devotion and Practice.

With Six Illustrations, reduced from Engravings by FRA ANGELICO. Royal 16mo. 2s. 6d. “_All the Instructions, all of the Hymns, and most of the Prayers here are excellent. And when we use the cautionary expression ‘most of the,’ &c., we do not mean to imply that all the prayers are not excellent in themselves, but only to express a doubt whether in some cases they may not be a little too elaborate for children. Of course it by no means follows that when you use a book you are to use equally every portion of it: what does not suit one may suit a score of others, and this book is clearly compiled on the |comprehensive| principle. But to give a veracious verdict on the book it is needful to mention this. We need hardly say that it is well worth buying, and of a very high order of merit._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN. “_Messrs. Rivington have sent us a manual of prayers for children, called ‘The Star of Childhood,’ edited by the Rev. T. T. Carter, a very full collection, including instruction as well as devotion, and a judicious selection of hymns._”――CHURCH REVIEW. “_The Rev. T. T. Carter, of Clewer, has put forth a much needed and excellent book of devotions for little children, called ‘The Star of Childhood.’ We think it fair to tell our readers, that in it they will find that for children who have lost a near relative a short commemorative prayer is provided; but we most earnestly hope that even by those who are not willing to accept this usage, the book will not be rejected, for it is a most valuable one._”――MONTHLY PACKET.
