We have received the first volume of the new (i.e.,

the third) series of The Expositor, edited by the Rev. W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A. (Hodder and Stoughton). The contents are varied and interesting, and, though we cannot but regret the change that took the conduct of this excellent periodical out of the hands of Dr. Cox, we see great promise of future usefulness for it in its new form. The volume is adorned with an effective etched portrait of Bishop Martensen, for which Mr. Edmund Game has written a sketch.
