The Revised Version of Scripture. By C. J. Ellicott, D.D.,

Bishop of Gloucester. (S.P.C.K. 2s.)—Bishop Ellicott pub- lishes here five addresses which formed together his charge given to the clergy of the archdeaconry of Gloucester at his last visitation. We may quote from the prefatory note that its object was to "suggest the question, whether the time has not now arrived for the more general use of the Revised Version at the lectern in the public service of the Church." The subject is too large to enter upon in a passing notice, but we may say generally that the Bishop has our warmest sympathy.
