Naw EDITION8.—In the series of "The World's Great Sermons" (R.T.S.),
Selected Sermons of Hugh. Latimer, B. 4- m., and. Selected Sermons of George Whitefield, with Introduction by the Rev. A. R. Buckland (1s. per vol.)—Ancient History. By Philip Van Ness Myers. (Ginn and Co. 7s. 6d.)—This is a greatly changed edition of a book, or rather books, published by the author at intervals between 1882 and 1901. It is in Oriental history that the most important discoveries have been made,—the early Baby- lonian history is almost new, and the story of Egypt has been carried much further back. This portion of the book has accordingly been "almost wholly rewritten."—The "Agamemnon" of Aeschylus. With an Introduction, Com- mentary, and Translation by A. W. Vermll, Litt.D. (Macmillan and Co. 12s. net.)—Various changes are made, and all are, without doubt, improvements. One arrangement deserves special mention. Readings wholly due to conjecture are printed in uncials. So in line 30 we have the second A in ityy4h.huty so marked, and in 128 the first a in Acryobetrar, the MS. reading being iryyiltsw and XtrycZatrat , both impossible.—Luz Mundt. Edited by Charles Gore, D.D. Tenth Edition. (John Murray. 2s. 6d.)—Bishop Gore touches in his preface to this popular edition on various matters which have been criticised. One, perhaps the most important of all, the subject of the limitations of the human knowledge of Christ, may be mentioned. He says : "Any hypothesis as to the origin of any one book of the Old Testament which is consistent with a belief in its inspiration, must be consistent also with our Lord having given it His authorisation." So—the illustration is ours—if the Book of Daniel was written in the time of the Maccabees, and had the inspired purpose of showing how Hebrews should, and could, stand by their faith, it might receive this authorisation. The question, Did He really know that the book was written, not in the sixth century, but in the second before. His time, is one that may be fairly put aside. One thing seems clear. The view of certain so-called orthodox divines that Christ lived in a consciousness of omniscience and omnipotence is virtually Docetism. He was not Homo but Eidolon Humanum.—The Revolutionary Epick. By Benjamin Disraeli the Younger. Edited by Davenport Adams. (Hurst and Blackett. 3s. 6d.)—Here is a sample of its verse :— " But can the sunbeam on a fairer scene Than thine, Italia, rest, when on the hill The hooded convent crowns, it brightly fails,
Flanked by a single tree, the sea-born pine ; Or sparkling village, with its tall thin tower Mid orchards bowered, and fields of Indian grain With vines enclosed and ploughed by milk-white steers, Calls into lucid life ? "
