    sacrificial ritual practised amongst the ancient heathen , and proceeds to examine the purport of similar rites amongst C-the Jews , But the

    strength of the book lies in the masterly elaboration of the testimony respecting our Lord ' s sufferings , death , and resurrection . Its

    excellent arrangement and lucid style will render the work of great value to those who seek a solid groundwork for the orthodox Protestant

    faith . From the same . — 'Gershom the Miner , ' by Crona

    —* A Short Comparative Grammar of Greek and . Latin for Schools and Colleges , ' by Victor Henrytranslated by R . T . ElliottM . A .

    , , This work does in a very excellent way what it professes to accomplish , namely to exhibit in a concise form the main results of modern

    research , and the application of modern method , as bearing upon the scientific grammar of Greek and Latin . Professor Henry has a high

    reputation in philology , and probably no one is better equipped for the task he undertook in this book . It supplies a much-felt wantand

    , we are sure it will be welcomed by English students as a rare contribution to an important field in scholarship . The translator has done

    his work admirably , and the thanks of scholars * VW due to add him •»¦» that as »• well . the . V a * to the original is 4 1 . author 'a & J »«« .

    From the same . —* The Three Banquets , and Prison Poems , ' by Ida White . The authoress diligently utilised a term of imprisonment for debt at

    Hollo way Gaol by writing a number of poems as various in their subjects as in their metre . There are many pretty verses in the volume ,

    but the prevailing tone is that of deep sadness . Sympathy with the distressed , and appreciation of goodness and purity , come into frequent

    prominence . Although the book contains nothing remarkable , yet it can certainly claim ¦ a more ¦» than ¦ ¦ i i average vhk position amongst _ ... the

    . lawful sports on Sundays . Mr . Govett by his research throws a good deal of light on this

    ; declaration , and has furnished much curious 1 information not available in ordinary historical books . The work is of real interest , and has

    afforded the author an opportunity for giving an excellent social sketch of an engaging historical period .

    From Mr . T . Fisher XJnwin . —* The Barbary Corsairs , ' by Stanley Lane-Poole . This is another valuable contribution to the Story of the

    Nations Series . From his ample acquirements in special fields , and from his previous studies of Eastern subjects , the author was well fitted

    to undertake this work , and he has unquestionably furnished a volume that is as interesting as it is full of historic information . It is

    marked by great lucidity of treatment , by full knowledge , and by a clear and vigorous style . ! The work has numerous excellent illustrations .

    As in the case of the previous volumes of this series , it is admirably printed ,
