Themes from St. John's Gospel in Early Roman Catacomb Paint-
ing. By Clark D. Lamberton. (Princeton University Press.)—The appearance of this volume reminds us how much remains to be done in this country in respect of higher study. It is a thesis which the author presented for his degree. Could we not extend this system a little further than has yet been done ? Why should not such a presentation be made an alternative for the final schools ? The particular subject cannot be dealt with here. It may be pointed out, however, that it has more than an artistio or archaeological interest. It has a close bearing on the date of the Johannine Gospel and of its position in the life of the Early Church. It soon made itself felt as the pm-eminently spiritual Gospel. This essay is a very careful and complete study of a highly interesting subject.
