Grafton, Rt. Rev. Charles Chapman. Christian and Catholic. [*]$1.50. Longmans.
“The aim of the good bishop ... is ‘not controversial’ but to help souls who are in honest doubt to come into closer union with Christ ... The mass of Christians ... he designates as ‘the sects’ in distinction from ‘the church’ ... To secede from the Anglican church to the Roman is pronounced to be ‘the most terrible sin we believe a Christian man can commit.’”—Outlook.

Grant, Mrs. Colquhoun. Mother of czars. [*]$3.50. ([*]12s.) Dutton.
“This ‘Mother of czars’ was the princess Dorothea of Würtemberg who married the Czarevitch Paul, son of Catherine II.... The czar’s two sons were Alexander I. and Nicholas I.... Mrs. Grant’s book consists largely of details of a tour made by the Grand Duke Paul and his wife during the years 1780-81. The most enjoyable time was spent in France.”—Spec.
“A very innocuous sketch of the wife of Paul I. of Russia.”
