and supplemented it with such additional materials as were in her
possession, including a selection from the Dean's full and varied correspondence. Dean Lake was a Fellow and Tutor of Balliol during the height of the Oxford Movement, and was afterwards a member of the famous Royal Commission on Education, which may be said to have laid the foundation for all subsequent legislation on the subject. He was on intimate terms with the leading men in the English Church during an eventful period of its history, but, though a strong Churchman, he was a thorough man of the world, of broad views and wide culture. Mrs. Lake has been permitted to publish letters to her husband from his numerous friends, including Arch-bishop Tait, Dean Church, Dean Stanley, Mr. Gladstone, Canon Liddon, Dr. Pusey, Lord Halifax, and others--letters that not only add considerably to our knowledge of those distinguished characters, but contain many valuable comments upon large questions of permanent interest. * * * * * WITH RIMINGTON.
