of what truly he calls 'one of the greatest and most difficult books of the New Testament' with a systematic thoroughness and fairness which cannot be too highly commended. Henceforth English students of this portion of the New Testament will have only themselves to blame if they cannot trace the connection of thought and final purport of this epistle."--_Academy._ THE EXPOSITOR'S BIBLE. SECOND SERIES. _Price 7s. 6d, each Volume._ Fifth Edition. The Book of Isaiah. Vol. I. Chapters I.-XXXIX. By the Rev. GEORGE ADAM SMITH, M.A., Aberdeen. With Map. "This is a very attractive book. Mr. George Adam Smith has evidently such a mastery of the scholarship of his subject that it would be a sheer impertinence for most scholars, even though tolerable Hebraists, to criticise his translations; and certainly it is not the intention of the present reviewer to attempt anything of the kind, to do which he is absolutely incompetent. All we desire is to let English readers know how very lucid, impressive, and, indeed, how vivid a study of Isaiah is within their reach--the fault of the book, if it has a fault, being rather that it finds too many points of connection between Isaiah and our modern world, than that it finds too few. In other words, no one can say that the book is not full of life."--_Spectator._ Second Edition. The First Epistle to the Corinthians. By the Rev. Professor MARCUS DODS, D.D. "A clear, close, unaffected, unostentatious exposition, not verse by verse, but thought after thought of this most interesting, perhaps, and certainly most various, of all the Apostle's writings."--_London Quarterly Review._ Second Edition. The Epistle to the Galatians. By the Rev. Professor G. G. FINDLAY, B.A., Headingley College, Leeds. "Professor G.G. Findlay discloses a minute acquaintance with his subject, an earnest desire to penetrate its inmost meaning, and a marked capacity of illustrating and enforcing the text."--_Record._ Second Edition. The Pastoral Epistles. By the Rev. ALFRED PLUMMER, D.D., Master of University College, Durham. "It is an admirable example of what popular theology ought to be--presuming a somewhat high level of education and interest in its readers, and built throughout upon sound erudition and sensible, devout, and well-disciplined reflection."-
