The invaluable Commentary on the New Testament, by Heinrich A.
W. Meyer, 'M.D., (T. and T. Clark), has been completed, by the publication of the Epistle to the Ephesians and The Epistle to Philemon. By way of supplement, has boon added Dr. Gottlieb Lfinemann's Handbook to the Epistle of St. Paul to the Ephesians, originally published in connection with Dr. Meyer's work, and not unworthy to be ranked with it, Wo can only express once more our gratitude to Messrs. Clark for bringing within the reach of English students these masterpieces of German Biblical criticism. The first
volume, we should say, has been translated by the Rev. Maurice J. Evans, B.A., under the editorship of Professor W. P. Dickson, of
Glasgow ; the second, by the Rev. P. J. Gloag, D.D. Messrs.
Clark, we see, propose to complete this series of Now Testament commentaries, by publishing Huthe on the Catholic Epistles and Liinemann on. the Epistle to the Hebrews.—The same pub- lishers commence a now series of their " Foreign Theological Library" with the History of Christian Doctrines, by the late Pro- fessor K. R. Hagenbach, of Basel. 2 vols. This work, a treasury of theological learning, which is simply invaluable to the student, has appeared before in an English dress. The volumes before us contain the latest additions made by the author, and some that have been supplied by previous translators. While these volumes abound with learning intelligently applied, we find a noticeable power of profound thought in another volume of the same series,—A System of Christian
Doctrine, by Dr. J. A. Dormer ; Vol. I., translated by Alfred Case, B.A. As the translator says in his preface, "Dr. Dornor writes with a
keen appreciation of history. Ho writes, as the conscious successor of a long line of thinkers, upon some of the gravest questions that can agitate the mind." But it will be understood that his work is primarily philosophical, not historical. We must not omit a word of hearty thanks for the translator's able performance of a singularly difficult task, We must be content with a bare notice of Dr.
llagenbach's History of the *formation in Germany and Switzerland Chiefly, translated from the fourth revised edition of the German by Eveline, Moore. 2 vols. (T. and T. Clark.)
