“Taken as a whole, it is admirably done. The geographical arrangement is somewhat confusing, but perhaps a strictly chronological account would have been less easy to understand.

King, Most Rev. William. Great archbishop of Dublin, William King; his autobiography, family, and a selection from his correspondence; ed. by Chas. S. King. *$3. Longmans.
“William King played a most important part in church and state.... He was well described as ‘a state Whig, a church Tory, a good bishop.’... His kinsman Sir Charles King here prints for the first time a translation of the archbishop’s Latin autobiography and many letters adding extracts from correspondents already published, with notes on family history and cognate matters.... King corresponded with Swift, Addison, Berkeley, and many churchmen and politicians.”—Sat. R.
