By William Stephen Gilly, M.A., Prebendary of Durham. Rivington, 1832.] This is a volume which no one can read without improvement. It contains the history of a young Protestant clergyman, Felix Neff, who devoted his life to the duty of preaching the divine word to the scattered inhabitants of the dreary regions called “the High Alps” of France[1];--and who, in the discharge of this sacred trust, felt that he was advancing his principal object while he was improving the physical condition of these poor people, and leading them to the acquirement of _general_ knowledge. The difficulties which this wise and pious man encountered could only have been overcome by the most ardent zeal. The labours which he underwent, and the privations which he sustained, ruined his health, and consigned him prematurely to the grave. But his career, though short, was one of permanent usefulness to the mountaineers in whose service he perished: and he has left behind him a new example of how much one man may accomplish for the benefit of his fellow-creatures, who goes forward in a good work with singleness of purpose, regardless of any other reward but the approbation of his own conscience.
