We have to notice two additional volumes of the Pulpit

Commentary, edited by the Very Rev. H. D. H. Spence and the Rev. Joseph S. Exell (Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co.), one of them belonging to the Old Testament, the other to the New Testament series. The former deals with two of the Minor Prophets, Hosea and Joel. The intro- duction to both is written by the Rev. W. J. Deane, the exposition and homiletics by the Rev. Professor J. J. Given, while for the homilies we have the names of Messrs. Jerdan, Thomson, Rowland, Orr, and Thomas.
