The Holy Gospels. By the Rev. G. W. Brameld, M.A.
(Longmans.)— This is a new translation of the Four Gospels from the original Greek, executed by a beneficed clergyman of the Church of England. Mr. Brameld has expunged those passages which are regarded as spurious by the most competent critics, enclosed in brackets those which are looked upon as doubtful, and revised the whole after the texts adopted by the most dis- tinguished editors. He has performed this task with a twofold object of bringing before the general public the conclusions at which the greatest modern critics have arrived with reference to the text of the Gospels, and of producing a translation which shall be free from the more obvious errors of the common version. Mr. Brameld appears to have done his work carefully and conscientiously. Whether there was any imme- diate necessity for doing it at all is another question.
