SAMUEL CROWTHER OF THE NIGER, by JESSE PAGE. Glasgow: Pickering & Inglis, 229 Bothwell street.
In this interesting biography we have the life-story of the slave boy who afterwards became a bishop. The story is of remarkable interest, and throws considerable light on the horrors of the slave trade in the part of Africa through which the Niger flows. Samuel Crowther, after his own conversion, worked with a zeal that was truly apostolic to bring the Gospel to the benighted heathen in the part of the world where his lot was cast. Here and there, there are doctrinal expressions with which we do not agree, but readers will find the biography most interesting.
SCRIPTURE CALENDARS. From the same firm we have received a number of Scripture Calendars. These are very beautifully produced, with texts from the Scripture.
