Biblical Revision : its Necessity and Purpose. By Members of

the American Revision Committee. (Sunday-School Union.)—There is little in this volume that will not be familiar to those who have kept up with the literature of the subject that has appeared on this side of tho Atlantic. It is welcome, however, not only for its own sake, but as affording a proof of the substantial harmony that exists be- tween the Revising " Companies " bore and in the United States. It contains eighteen essays on various aspects of the subject, all of which must be taken as expressing only the individual opinion of their writers.
