Excerpt from Margaret Percival in America: A Tale A host of English books, called Religious Nov els, have been transplanted into this country, and reprinted, without note or comment. It is to be hoped that they have done our young people some good. But it is certain that, in our parish and Sabbath-school libraries, they have greatly puzzled those who read, by their obstinate adherence to close sectarian usages, and by their utter ignorance of the generous spirit which exists in America between Christians of different names. It would be a pity if our young friends forgot, that, as Christians here, they have duties and opportuni ties too lofty to be risked, too precious to be thrown away, by the accidental suggestions of any insular literature, -of any isolated ecclesiastical arrange ment.
