We have received another volume of The Pulpit Commentary, edited
by the Rev. Canon Spence and the Rev. Joseph S. Exell.—The volume deals with Jeremiah xxx. to end, and with the Lamentations. Dr. Cheyne, whose appointment to the Professorship of Exegetics at Oxford we have observed with pleasure, supplies the "Exposition ;" the Rev. W. F. Adeney, the" Homiletics ;" and the Rev. D. Young, S. Conway, and A. F. Muir, the "Homilies." The industry of the editors— who have, we think, another huge work, " Thirty Thousand Thoughts," on hand—is nothing less than portentous --The Altar Hymnal : a Book of Song for Use at the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist, with Music compiled and arranged by A. H. Brown (Griffith, Farran, and Co.) --Congregational Hymns : a Hymnal for the Free Churches (Elliot Stock).--Family Worship, Part L, "Scripture Readings ;" and Part II., "Family Prayers," edited by Lyman Abbott (I. Clarke and Co.)--Propmdia Prophetica ; or, the Use and Design of the Old Testament, examined by William Rowe Lyall, D.D. A new edition, with notices by George C. Pearson, M.A. (Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co.)-- Studies in the CL. Psalms. By the Rev. A. R. Fausset, M.A. (Nisbet and Co.)--A book of valuable suggestion, which we are glad to see has reached a second edition.—The Contemporary Pulpit. Vol. III. (W. Swan Sonnenschein and Co.)—The selection of sermons in this periodical continues to be excellent. There is other valuable matter also, in the way of exposition, sermon outlines, and miscellanies of various kinds. We heartily wish it continued success.
