A critical portrait of George MacDonald's Wilfrid Cumbermede traces how the child Wilfrid seeks meaning beyond worldly gain. The review highlights themes of nature's influence, moral trials, spiritual doubt, and the quest for divine sacrifice through a pivotal inner confession.
A London review covers Gervask Wheeler’s The Choice of a Dwelling praising its practical guidance for buyers and builders. It also discusses The City Temple by Joseph Parker as a weekly homiletic magazine centered on Parker’s sermons. A new edition of Sir Thomas Buxton by Thomas Binney is noted, with the author’s preface explaining its renewed availability and value for younger readers.
The review praises Adams's translation of Jules Michelet's Mountain as more beautiful and instructive than Nelson and Son's edition. It argues Michelet is a naturalist first, with a poetic touch, seeking the secret life of nature and endowing all with life, making his works read like poems and alive with vigor.
A brief catalog note announcing two translated works: The Mountain from Michelot and the translator of The Bird, illustrated with fifty four designs by Percival Skelton, published by T. Nelson and Sons.
A reader surveys travel and nature books. The piece praises The Mountain as a vivid exploration of Alps and other ranges, noting the author's lively language and ability to treat small details with equal weight. It also reviews Beautiful Birds in Far-off Lands and Edith Vernon's Life Work, highlighting illustrations, style, and moral themes, with critiques of compression and pacing.
