The present volume of The Expositor, Edited by the Rev.
W. Robertson Nicoll (Hodder and Stoughton, 78.6d. net), is not less full of interesting and valuable matter than its predecessors. We would mention especially the notes on more or less recently dis- covered papyri by Mr. Stanley A. Cook, Dr. Driver, and Dr. Milligan; Professor Orr's articles on "The Resurrection of Christ" ; and Sir W. Ramsay. on "The Chronology of the Life of Christ." A notable instance of the advantage of the inter- preter who leaves the hearth for the field is to be seen in the criticism of an inference from the use of the word "lamb." The inference is that it implies the spring. Sir W. Ramsay says : " The word ' lamb ' is used in Asiatic Turkey for a young sheep at any season of the year."—The Expository Times, Edited by James Hastings, D.D. (T. and T. Clark, 7s. 6d.), is, as usual, a treasury of good things, of the greatest use, in the first place, to the preacher, and, in the second and the more important, to thoso who hoar him.
