A Quarterly

The Quest contains a very instructive article by Dr. C. C. Montefiore, called " Reflections on Rabbinic Religion." It deals with those post-Old Testament Jewish Scriptures, entirely unknown to the average Gentile, which have meant so much to the orthodox Jew. There is a strange article called " The Passing," by Mr. Harry Tighe, which would be of deep interest if it described a real experience, but which we imagine from the last paragraph to be of the nature of fiction. " Expe- riences in Automatic Verse," by Miss Scatcherd, claims to be written by the hand of the authoress unguided by her intel- ligence. Some are both musical and interesting, some nothing short of ridiculous.
