Scripture Difficulties. By Thomas Spalding. (Daldy, Isbister, and Co.)—Mr. Spalding
tells us that he has been himself for many years a diligent student of the Bible. His object in writing is to clear away for ordinary readers £43/1110 of the difficulties in Scripture which arise from the peculiarities of its language, symbolic, figurative, anthropo- morphic. His method in doing this is, for the most part, to explain Scripture by Scripture. The motive that urges him to his work is the conviction, contradicted by much of the popular theology, that the Bible is throughout the Book of Hope.—Geron : the Old Man in Search of Paradise. A Posthumous Work, by John Lavicourt Andordon. G. Bell and Sons.)—This book consists of a series of meditations on religions subjects, by one who was evidently through a long life a devout and earnest Christian. Mr. Anderdon was a great admirer of Bishop Ken, and wrote a biography of him, known by the title, "The Life of Bishop Ken, by a Layman."—We have received a reprint of The Last Three Sermons Preached at Oxford, by Philip N.
Shuttleworth, D.D., afterwards Lord Bishop of Chichester. (Rivingtons.) —Communion with Heaven, and other Sermons. By the late Maxwell Nicholson, D.D. (Blackwood and Sons.)—These are eloquent sermons, of a popular kind. There is a very good one among them on Haman, from a text in Esther, a book which preachers seldom have recourse to.—Days of Heaven upon Earth, and other Sermons. By Alexander Macleod, D.D. (Daldy, Isbister, and Co.)—Readers of seinions, of whom there are so many in these days, will find this volume worthy of atten- tion. Dr. Macleod's discourses are unusually thoughtful, have a decided freshness of tone, and are genuinely earnest.
