The History of the World's Parliament of Religions, by the Rev. John Henry Barrows, D. D. is now in our hands. We have had time to give it only a cursory examination since its reception, but from such examination it appears to us that it is all that could be desired in such a work.
The editorial part of it is exalted in tone, and breathes forth a deeply religious spirit. Most of the addresses were worthy of the occasion, and evinced an earnest reaching out after God.
President Bonney's opening and closing addresses are sparkling gems of religious sentiment, and are worthy of the great and broad-minded man who uttered them. Such catholicity of religious views no doubt impressed itself upon the minds of the participants and had its due effect in broadening their views.
