Dr. Ware's appointment to the Deanery of Canterbury, made vacant by the death of Dr. Farrar, is, in every respect, an excellent selection. But he should have been preferred long ago. In an assembly of ecclesiastics, which is sadly lacking in learning and literary distinction, the name of Dr. Wace shines forth as quite a beacon-light of erudition, comparing favourably even with his predecessor. Amongst other and numerous religious and theological works, he was a large contributor to the " Dictionary of Christian Biography," which he edited in collaboration with the late Sir William Smith. As a preacher Dr. Wace is not especially effective, but his sermons always read excellently. The;, are written with real literary talent. As Dean of Canterbury the learned doctor will have ample leisure for those studies in ecclesiastical literature of which he is so fond, and which has inspired some of his best and most authoritative work. Although not yet seventy, he is in bearing and appearance rather old for his age, and the calm atmosphere of the Cathedral City will be a welcome change to him after noisy London. He, will be much missed at St. Michael's. . Tucker's Sunshine Jolly ' Crystals: The sale always growing; the q'WtilUy always nigh; 18 flavours, each makes.; a pint.
