The chief object and aim' of this pious and gifted woman cannot fail in its object. Indeed, we may almost to a certainty pronounce for this labour of her devotional love a success which her most Christian sanguine wishes could not have anticipated for it. The authoress has termed it a small book, and may have at first intended it as such; it is gratifying that it is otherwise, for a single page could not be spared, so redolent is ench with the best of material. It is remarked in the preface that the work was written while the body was in a state of ill health-what a contrast must the spirit have presented! May it long direct the head and hand to add thus to our useful literature."-Standard.
