How the.Bible Caine to Us. By Frank S. Herne. (Sunday

School Union. Is. net.)—Mr. Herne describes in sensible language the history of the Old and New Testaments, with a special mention of the most important manuscripts of the Now. A few words would have been in season about the papyri, which, though insignificant in extent, throw back the antiquity of the text by a century and a half. The second part is a narrative of the English Bible. Altogether, this is a reasonable and serviceable little book.
