Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. With Notes and Introduction by W.

E. Barnes, D.D. (Cambridge University Press. Is. Gd. net.)—This new volume of the well-known " Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges" leaves only Deuteronomy, which Principal George Adam Smith is editing, to complete the work. Professor Barnes's commentary on these three difficult Minor Prophets is excellent, and brings out very clearly their historical and theo- logical significance. In Ids Preface be contrasts our Revised Version with the American Standard Version of 1901, to the advantage of the American scholars.
