(Rivingtons. 6a. 6d.)--" The • Church in the Old and the New Testament is one and the same," writes Mr. Morgan in his preface, and he proceeds to develop an elaborate comparison of the Temple service and the doctrinal system, as illustrated by worship, of the Christian Church. We should be inclined to insist more on the development of the second out of the first. We must not forget, too, the composite character of the Jewish Ritual, as it came to be. The old idea that this was a harmonious whole, simultaneously ordered by a divine revelation, can hardly be retained. Mr. Morgan quotes, we see, Bishop Westeett to the effect that the root significance of blood in ritual was Life. But this was scarcely the primitive conception, and of this conception there are certainly traces. Mr. hforgan's book is a most careful and praiseworthy effort
