We have to mention new editions of the two volumes

of The Poets' Bible, selected and edited by W. Garrett Horder (Ward,

Lock, and Bowden). The "Old Testament Section " has reached a second, the "New Testament Section" a third edition. We conclude, from the absence of any notification to the contrary, that no change, by way of addition or otherwise, has been made from the first edition. It is not necessary to do more than quote, as a brief indication of the purpose of the work, the opening words of the preface :—" The Poets' Bible is an attempt to set forth the great scenes and characters of Holy Scripture in the words of the Poets."
