“The ‘Christian Year,’ by Rev. John Keble, has found a place in the hearts of pious Churchmen, second only to that of the ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ among Christians generally. It consists of poems on all the church-days of the year, in which the deepest thoughts of a saint, a poet, a scholar, and a pastor, when stirred with the strongest feelings both of Christian and of man, find expression; and these ‘Musings’ of Miss Yonge will interest every admirer of that famous work. In a series of annotations on these poems, Miss Yonge has sought to seize and express the subtle meaning of the poet, and explain a few difficulties in their arrangement and allusions. Nearly one-third of the book is occupied with recollections of Rev. John Keble, in which is presented with singular distinctness the life of one of the saintliest men of modern times. The style of Miss Yonge is one of charming purity and simplicity, and the entire volume as a book of devotion will be read with profit by all Christians.”—Church Journal.
“All the principal religious festivals of the year are appropriately alluded to in this volume, with suitable reflections thereon. The book partakes more of a series of sermons than any thing else, although prayers are occasionally introduced. All whose religious views coincide with those expressed in the work will find it interesting and instructive.”—Rochester Democrat.
