The Church Review.—'A miniature in every sense, it is worthy of the title. 'To each of nineteen chosen Christian seasons four pages are devoted. The first contains the title, the second a text of Holy Scripture, the third a short poem of from four to twelve lines, and the last a little prayer of a single sentence at once allusive in its language, and direct in its point of appeal. The poems—and here is the note of novelty-are in the main not directly religious, but are little impressionist sketches of some aspect of life and nature, duly connected with their subject by an invisible yet none the less real link. And sometimes the connection is only by force of contrast—in the poem on the Annunciation, a daring but illuminating contrast.'
