dissertations, with a selection of notes from the Appendix to the Harmony, and a tabular view of the Synoptical arrangement, were subsequently published in a separate volume, intituled "Dissertations on the Duration of our Saviour's Ministry, and the Chronological Arrangement of the Gospel-Records." London, 1836, 8vo. The third dissertation is particularly valuable and instructive. The most material alterations, &c., in the second edition, were printed separately for the possessors of the first edition. -37. A Greek Harmony of the Gospels, with Notes for the use of Students at the Universities. By the Rev. R. CHAPMAN, B.A. London, 1836. 4to. "This is a remarkably handsome quarto volume..... Mr. Chapman takes Mill's text; allots four passovers and therefore three years to our Lord's ministry; differs from some of Mr. Greswell's positions, and gives reasons from Newcome and Townsend; and, as to the resurrection, follows West. He has arranged a work, which is very convenient for ascertaining the verbal parallelisms without trouble. The notes show a degree of attention and industry, highly creditable to the author." (British Magazine, July, 1836. p. 59.) 38. A Harmony of the Gospels, being a Comparative View of the different statements of the Four Evangelists; showing where they agree, where they vary, and where any are silent. To which are added the marginal references, illustrating the text, with Indexes and Tables. [By William BENNING.] London, 1836. 12mo. 39. The Four Gospels, arranged in a series of Tabular Parallels, on a new principle. [By the Rev. CHOLMONDELEY, M.A.] London, 1836. royal 8vo. In this arrangement, when two or more evangelists speak on the same subject matter, their individual testimonies are always completed in the same page. In like manner where similar discourses took place at different periods, they are placed in juxta-position, as well as in context; but with indications, which prevent the narrative being disturbed. These tabular parallels are printed with singular neatness. 40.

The method adopted by Professor White in his Greek Diatessaron, is generally followed in this beautifully printed work; which is ascribed to the Rev. J. D. MACBRIDE, D.C.L. and Principal of Magdalen Hall, Oxford. The text and punctuation are strictly those of the authorized version: references are given in the margin, on one side, to the place from which each passage is taken; and, on the opposite side, Dr. Blayney's references to the Old Testament, and to the Acts and Epistles, are collected from all the four Gospels. Various readings are given at the foot of the page from the most esteemed paraphrases. 43. Lectures explanatory of the Diatessaron; or, the History of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, collected from the Four Gospels in the form of a continuous Narrative. [By the Rev. J. D. MACBRIDE, D.C.L.] Oxford, 1835. 8vo. These Lectures are designed for students, who have neither leisure nor opportunity to consult many commentaries: " the remarks are more frequently explanatory than devotional." They are derived from the best and most approved commentators, and are most valuable helps to the student, who may peruse either the Greek Diatessaron of Professor White, or the English Diatessaron, noticed in the preceding paragraph. In giving the foregoing account of the principal Harmonies which have been published, the Author has endeavoured fairly to describe the plan and objects of each. To discuss the comparative merits of the chronological arrangements of different Harmonies would require a volume. HARMONIES OF THE EPISTLES. Page 62. col. 2. Last line, add 5. Harmonia Paulina: being an arrangement, in the words of the Apostle, of the complete Scheme of Christian Faith and Practice, contained in the several Epistles of St. Paul. By the Rev. Henry LATHAM, M.A. London, 1837. 8vo. This very valuable work (the title of which fully expresses its design) is an attempt to compile a full system of Christian Faith and Practice by an arrangement of St. Paul's Epistles in a conti nuous context; the object being to sum up, and exhibit in one view the perfect Christian character, in the same words, in which St. Paul- has from time to time exhibited its detached features." (Introd. p. 1.) In the prosecution of this design, the author has judiciously thrown into an Appendix all those parts of the several epistles, which, being addressed exclusively to a particular church or individual, are not contained in the Harmony. He has then condensed together several passages of St. Paul's Epistles, which are related to each other, so as to form sixteen continuous discourses in as many chapters; which treat on our Christian calling; on faith ; on faith in God the Father; faith in God the Son,-the atonement of his death, and our justification through his merits only,-his resurrection, ascension, and return to judgment; faith in God the Holy Ghost, and our sanctification by him alone; on our duty to God; the social duties; the personal duties of the believer; Christian love or charity; Christian hope; the Church of Christ and its two Sacraments; the corruption of its doctrines and discipline; and the intention of the Jewish Dispensation. The passages from the Pauline Epistles are given in the words of the authorized version; and to the whole the author has prefixed a well-written introduction explanatory of the plan of his work. APOCRYPHAL BOOKS. Page 67. col. 1. After line 6. add 11*. Enoch Restitutus; or, an Attempt to separate from the Books of Enoch the Book quoted by St. Jude. By the Rev. E. MURRAY. Dublin and London. 1836. 8vo. The object of this work is to prove, first "that there is internal evidence of a more ancient book in combination with the apocryphal Books of Enoch. The more ancient book, Mr. Murray thinks, was written in Hebrew, as he endeavours to show: and he afterwards collects the internal evidence to the point of the existence of an ancient book. Of the books which are combined with it, Mr. Murray agrees with Archbishop Laurence, in attributing one (that which contains the Jewish History) to an early period of the reign of Herod and he thinks that which relates to astronomy probably to be the more ancient. The varieties of style in various parts of the whole composition betray different tongues; and the obscurity of some of the fables in the historical one show that it cannot be earlier than the date assigned. In that which he conceives to be the ancient book, there is no trace of rabbinical interpretation, such as might be expected, at all events, after the second century; the coincidence of its pages with those of Scripture is remarkably characterized by a want of previous knowledge of those passages which have similar meaning. The whole work displays much learning, research, and diligent inquiry." (British Magazine, July, 1836. p. 57.) Page 67. col. 2. After the last line, add 6.

Introduction to the Criticism and Interpretation of the Bible, by C. E. STOWE, Professor of Biblical Literature in Lane Seminary, Cincinnati. [Ohio], Vol. I. Cincinnati, 1835, 8vo. The object of this work, is to give a clear statement of the principles and facts most necessary to be known, preparatory to the critical study of the Scripture. The subjects discussed are, Divine Revelation, the language in which it is given, and its peculiarities in respect to interpretation;-the genuineness of the Pentateuch, with a vindication of it from objections;-the origin and early progress of alphabetic writing; the authenticity and character of the Gospels ;-the genuineness and interpretation of the Apocalypse; tural idea and proof of inspiration ;-and miracles. A second vo-Hebrew and Pagan Prophets contrasted; the doctrine, Scriplume was announced, which, if published in America, has not yet reached this country. It was to contain "a history of the Old and New Testaments, a brief account of the principal Manuscripts and critical editions, and a particular introduction to each of the remaining books of the Bible, similar to those given in the first volume to the Pentateuch, the Gospels, and the Apocalypse." In the arrangement of topics, the author has endeavoured to adopt that method, by which the discussion of each preceding subject will throw most light on the succeeding, and the greatest clearness will be secured with the least repetition.

The manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate Version, which are preserved in the royal and national libraries of Europe, are so numerous, that any complete description of them is scarcely to be expected. These letters of Sir F. Madden, who is principal keeper of the MSS. in the British Museum, were first printed in the Gentleman's Magazine for October, November, and December, 1836; and they demand a notice in this place on account of the erudite bibliographical description which they contain of one of the oldest manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate Version which is extant.

His work comprises within a short compass the necessary elements of Hebrew Grammar. Part I. treats on the Hebrew Letters and Vowel Points; Part II. on verbs, nouns, pronouns, and particles; and Part III. on Syntax. Copious paradigms are given of the Verb and Noun. To the whole is prefixed a concise historical sketch of the Shemitic Languages in general, and of the Hebrew Language in particular, including a special notice of the labours of the Masorites.

In short, the book, instead of being an acquisition to Oriental philology, will prove, if not cast at once into its merited obscurity, a reproach to the literary character of the country which produced it."

Page 91. col. 2. Last line but 18, add 4*. A Grammar of the New Testament Dialect. By Moses STUART, Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary, Andover. Andover, 1834. 8vo. London, 1838. 8vo. A Grammar of the dialect peculiar to the New Testament is necessary to all who would critically study its original language: and this work of Professor Stuart will supply the student with every information which he can desire on this subject. After a ing the character of the New Testament Greek, the author treats, short account of the Greek dialects and of the controversy respectin the two first parts, on letters and their forms, and on grammatical forms and flexions. The remainder of the volume is occupied with the syntax: considerable space is appropriated to the Greek article. This portion of Professor's Stuart's work was reprinted at Edinburgh, and forms the tenth volume of the Biblical Cabinet. The results of the investigations of Winer, Passow, Buttmann, and other distinguished Greek grammarians, are here given, together with those of the author himself. This Grammar completely supersedes that of Winer, of which an account is given in page 91. The London reprint is beautifully and accurately executed; the quotations from the Greek Testament and from the classic authors have all been verified; and various typographical errors have been carefully corrected. LEXICONS TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. Page 93. col. 2. After line 6. add Dr. Robinson's improved Lexicon, on the basis of Wahl's Clavis Philologica Novi Testamenti having been out of print for some years, the learned author, in 1836, published the new and very important Lexicon which is noticed in the following paragraph: 13*. A Greek and English Lexicon to the New Testament. By Edward ROBINSON, D.D. Boston, 1836, royal 8vo. London, 1837, 8vo. Edinburgh, 1837. 8vo. This truly valuable Lexicon contains the results of the learned author's researches, as well as those of all preceding lexicographers of the New Testament: the following is a brief outline of the plan which he has adopted in the arrangement of his materials. The etymology of each word is given, so far as it appertains to the Greek and Hebrew, and occasionally to the Latin. To each word is assigned its primary signification, whether found in the New Testament or not; and then the author deduces from it all the sigthe work he has bestowed much attention, in bringing out to view nifications which occur in the New Testament. In this portion of the force of the prepositions in composition. Further, the different forms and inflections of words are exhibited, so far as seemed proper in a lexicon; and the usage of the writers of the New Testament is, in all cases, illustrated by references to the Septuagint, and the other Greek versions, as well as to the writings of Philo and Josephus, and to the writers in the common or later idiom of the Greek language. So far as the limits of a lexicon permit, attention has been given to the interpretation of difficult passages; and in each article a reference is given to every passage of the New Testament where every word is found; thus rendering the Lexicon, to a very considerable extent, a concordance to the New Testament. The London edition was superintended by the Rev. Dr. BloomSolomon Negris, aided by the Rev. Mr. Duncan. Both editors profield; and the Edinburgh edition by the learned Hellenist, Mr. fess to have corrected numerous errata, which had unavoidably crept into the original work: and the additions which they have made (sometimes correcting, at others modifying the author's statements) are printed between brackets. The British reprints are as cheap as they are beautifully executed: and Dr. Robinson's work may justly be regarded as the most comprehensive Lexicon to the New Testament which has ever been published.

"Kimchi left a commentary on most of the books of Scripture, which, though written six hundred years ago, will bear a comparison with any that has appeared, even in the nineteenth century... To the reader of the English Bible, Kimchi is also of value, as he will find the translation generally confirmed, and see how very little that Rabbi would have altered." (Introd. p. viii.) For this specimen of Kimchi's commentary, Bible students are greatly indebted to the Rev. Dr. Mc. Caul; who is well known to be one of the most profoundly learned men in Talmudical and Rabbinical literature that can be found in England or in Europe. The value of this volume is greatly enhanced by the important critical and controversial observations with which he has enriched it. COMMENTATORS ON THE OLD TESTAMENT. Page 109. col. 2.

After line 17. add The author of this translation is a Jew, who of course has given Jewish, interpretations to those predictions which relate to the Messiah. Many of the notes are very useful, but many also are tainted with German neologism. The translation is very close; and, the Hebrew text being placed opposite, it is an excellent aid to the grammatical study of the Old Testament. The ten volumes, which have been published, comprise the Pentateuch and historical books, as far as the second book of Chronicles, and the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah. The typographical execution of the work is very neat. 23.

London, 1654-62. 5 vols. folio. This work contains many judicious observations, collected from various sources; but they are for the most part expressed in unCouth language. It is very scarce and dear, and is seldom to be found complete, the several volumes of which it consists having been published at different times: viz. the Annotations on the Minor Prophets in 1654; on the New Testament, in 1656; on Ezra, Nehemiah, Job, and the Psalms, in 1657; on the books of Proverbs to Daniel inclusive, in 1660; and on the Pentateuch to the second book of Chronicles inclusive, in 1662. Page 111. col. 2. After line 18, to the account of Dodd's Commentary on the Bible, add The name of John Locke, in the title page of this commentary, is a misnomer. The greater part of the notes were written by the friend and contemporary of Locke, the Rev. and truly learned Dr. Cudworth; whose manuscripts being sold by Lord Marsham in 1762 to Mr. R. Davis, a bookseller in Piccadilly (who concluded that they were the MSS. of Locke), " it became an object of conDispensa-sideration with him, as a tradesman, bow to convert them to the 9.

The business therefore was, by the aid of such celebrated names, as Mr. Locke and Dr. Waterland, to fabricate a new Bible with annotations. At a consultation it was suggested that, though these names were very important, it would be necessary to the complete success of the design, to join with them some popular living character. Dr. Dodd was then in the height of his reputation as a preacher, and accordingly he was fixed upon to carry on the undertaking. This was the origin of Dr. Dodd's Bible."

The work has been carefully corrected throughout: the practical reflections which were in the first edition are omitted. In its present greatly improved state, this work contains a great mass of most important and critical results within a comparatively short compass: it is both a cheap and a beautifully printed volume.

The text of our authorized translation is not given in this Com-Imperial 8vo. mentary, which is equally adapted for the family and the study, and embodies the result of the author's labours for about forty years. During that period he states that he carefully studied the original Scriptures with versions, and the comments of the fathers, Chrysostom, Theophylact, and Jerome, and the more recent critical works of Beza, Cappel, Calvin, Cameron, Drusius, Estius, Grotius, Lightfoot, Marlorat, Menochius, Tirinus, Vatablus and others, who have applied their profound learning to the elucidation of the Sacred Volume. To English Commentators, the author's references are very few, "lest he should be a plagiarist from others, which" (he truly observes) "real industry has no need to be." Many valuable elucidations of difficult passages will be found in this work, which are passed over in larger commentaries. The reflections at the end of each chapter are characterized by simplicity of diction combined with earnest piety. Four well executed maps and a good general index add to the value of this unassuming commentary. 39.

This compilation exhibits a condensation of all that is valuable in the deservedly esteemed commentaries of Henry and Scott on the entire Bible, and of Doddridge on the New Testament. The notes are compiled from the various critics enumerated in the title page; and, in general, the selection is made with judgment. 40.

To each psalm is prefixed a concise introduction; and a few explanatory notes are subjoined; the more critical remarks being placed at the end of the volume, together with an Appendix, containing brief dissertations on the most difficult topics of inquiry relating to the interpretation of the Book of Psalms.
