Morgan (Mold) has translated his book on the 1859 Revival, and has published it in an English garb. The Welsh volume created a sensation ; it was a revela¬ tion to the young, and brought recollections to the old, because it reproduced in a vivid manner the scenes which took piece in the Principality fifty years before. The English volume is not altogether a translation ; it is something better, and, at the same time, something not quite so good. It is a new book, wrought of old materials, therefore free from the stiffness that usually accom¬ panies a translation. At the same time it is only about half the size of the Welsh one ; on that account many stirring incidents are unavoidably left out, and many of the de¬ scriptions, because of the abridgement, are not quite so graphic. Still, it is a capital book, giving for the first time to the mono- glot Englishman an opportunity to under¬ stand the great religious upheaval that changed the aspect of our country. Mr. Morgan has the artist's touch ; his descrip¬ tions are graphic and vivid. I trust that the new generation which we find in our English churches will read and study this book, so that they may catch a little of its fire. «£* «£* «£* Carmarthenshire Monthly Meeting.
