We have received The Monthly Interpreter, edited by the Rev.
Joseph S. Ezell, M.A. Vol. IV. (T. and T. Clark, Edinburgh ; Began Paul, Trench, and Co., London.) —Professor Redford discusses the "Song of Solomon," and argues stoutly against the naturalistic interpretation. We have always felt that Mr. Kingsbury, in "The Speaker's Commentary," hit the mean between the contending schools of commentators, and that his treatment cannot well be improved upon. But Professor Redford's article is an interesting statement of the question. Mr. P. J. Gloag treats the question of "St. Peter's Residence at Rome," and concludes that the Biblical evidence is against it, the patriotic evidence in its favour. Is it not probable that he lived at Babylon, and was brought to Rome to suffer death ? Dr. G. E. King contributes "Notes on the Revised Version of the Psalter," and Principal Douglas two articles on "The Revision of the English Old Testament." We may mention also a continuation of Professor Rawlinson's articles on "Biblical Topography," dealing with sites connected with the history of Abraham, and Egyptian sites.
