A Handbook to the Psalms. By the Rev. Edward M.

Holmes. (Wells Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—This little volume comes to the public commended by a preface from the pen of Bishop Stubbs. The writer, who takes the moderate view of attributing the first book of the Psalms only (i.-xli.) to David, gives some useful information in his Prolegomena, and supplies a running summary with notes. The preacher, and the reader of the Psalms generally, will find much in this volume which he will be able to turn to good service.
