The Emphatic New Testament, according to the Authorized Version, compared with the various readings of the Vatican Manuscript. The Four Gospels. Edited, with an Introductory Essay on Greek Em- phasis, by John Taylor, Author of" Junius Identified," &c.

jAn attempt to mark by peculiar types what Mr. Taylor considers the em- phatic words of the New Testament according to his own views. In his opinion, the English version, "as it has been hitherto printed, fails to give the reader a full conception of the meaning designed to be conveyed by the Greek original. That meaning falls short, in regard-1. to those words which are connected with the Greek article; 2. to those pronouns-substan- tive which are intended to carry in themselves a peculiar emphasis; and 3. to those adjectives and pronouns which obtain a comparative importance, by reason of the position which they occupy in the Greek text, with reference to some other words." Except that this emphasis is marked by three differ- ent types, according to that one of the above classes to which it belongs, the emphasis, as Mr. Taylor fairly admits, is a species of Italics, only marked by the editor, not the author. There are some other features of a critical kind, chiefly in relation to various readings. The present volume contains the Gospels.]

Specimens of Old Indian Poetry. Translated from the Original Sans- crit, into English Verse. By Ralph T. H. Griffith, MA. [These specimens seem well selected to display the variety of subject, mat- ter, and treatment of the old Hindoo poetry ; but the translation wants abo- riginal character. Though the images, modes of life; and to some degree the cast of thought, are Oriental, the style is English. Mr. Griffith intimates that he has sometimes expanded sometimes condensed his original, as well as taken other liberties to adapt his " specimens " to English tastes. This is justifiable, no doubt, inasmuch as the object of a writer is to be read but every change of this nature engrafts another mind upon the original wnting, and diminishes its distinctive idiosyncracy. These changes, however, are not exactly the thing we mean. Mr. Griffith, in his style, too often imitates the English ballad. In spite of this the book will be found curious as a re- flection of the ideas of the at &an t this, Lydia : a Woman's Book. By Mrs. Newton Crosland, Author of " Part- ners for Life," &c.

[The apparent object of this tale is to illustrate the evils which follow when a woman allows her love to overcome her independence of thinking. In prudential ethics the question is one both of kind and degree. In Lydia the lover is such a rank rascal, and the woman so weak, that the story can illustrate nothing.] The Days of Bruce ; a Story from Scottish History„! By Grace Aguilar, Author of "Home Influence." [The title of this volume of the late Miss Aguilar's posthumous works suffi- ciently indicates the subject; but that subject was rather above the range of the writer's genius. Miss Aguilar, though by no means of the earth earthy, was yet altogether of the day. When she wandered to other countries and remote times, she became conventional after an Annual fashion. This con- ventionalism distinguishes The .Days of Bruce.] Philosophers and Actresses &o. Illustrated. (Readable Books.) [A selected translation from Aisenne Houssaye's forced, smart, and very Frenchified sketches; neatly put forth, illustrated with a profusion of wood- cuts, and sold for a shilling.] Wild Spring Flowers. By Alice Georgina, aged eight years. [These trifles in prose and verse are more curious than remarkable, even though the production of a child between the age of six and eight.] The Irish Tourist's Illustrated Handbook for Visitors to Ireland. 'With numerous Maps. [A great gathering appears to be expected in Ireland during the present tourist season, on account of the meeting of the British Association in the North, and the Exhibition of National Industry in the South ; and great Preparations are in progress to provide for it. Hotel-keepers are fixing their charges ; railway companies are preparing to issue tickets for "a long day," as Paddy says ; proprietors of show-places are arranging to offer "facilities , ; and this handbook is published in coincidence with the other speculations. R is a businesslike affair. The matter is arranged after the plan of Murray, hi distinct tours ; there are many wood-cuts and several maps, 'with specific information as regards locomotion, &c. A tabular list of theprmcipal hotels of Ireland, with their charges ler bed, meals, &c., is particularly useful.] A Journey to Katmandu, (the Capital of Nvenel,) with the Camp of Jung Bahadoor ; including a Sketch of the Nepaulese Ambassador at Home. By Laurence Oliphant. (Murray's Readings for the Rail.) Analytical Physics, or Trinology a New Theory of Physical Science. By Robert Forfar.

Of the reprints, the most important are undoubtedly Coleridge's " Church and State" and " Lay Sermons " ; but the most likely to have a run is "Uncle Tom's Cabin,' a tale descriptive of slavery in America, in which the fair writer has aimed at depicting the evils of the "institution" without ex- aggerating them, not denying certain merits to planters or certain vices to the slaves. It has had a wonderful run in the States—ten editions in four- teen days, so it is said. The selected "Addresses delivered at Popular Insti- tutions" contain some good names—as Herschel, Alison, Whateley, Tal-

fourd ; and they Sorra a sightly book. "Articles on Reform in Private (Lunatic) Asylums" is a reprint of papers that have appeared in medical publications.
