The New Testament and its Writers. By the Rev. J.
A. M'Clymont. (A. and C. Black.)—This is a republication of a work which first appeared in a series of "Guild and Bible-Class Text-Books," issued by a Committee of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, It gives an account, constructed on orthodox lines, of the criticism of the New Testament, the date, authorship, and general characteristics of the various books. There is nothing that calls for special remark. Everything has to be put briefly, for the volume consists of less than three
hundred pages ; but the proportion of subjects is well observed, and what is indispensable is given. There are some interesting facsimiles of early MSS., the Sinaiticus, Vaticanus, and Alex- andrinus among them, while an appendix gives a summarised account of sub-Apostolic literature.
