The Bible in the Pacific. By the Rev. A. W.

Murray. (J. Nisbet and Co.)—This is an account of missionary enterprise in the islands of the Pacific, with a special view to the work of Bible translation. A vast amount of meritorious work has been done in this direction, for which no adequate remuneration either in profit or praise has been received. It was not done, of course, for either one or the other ; but it is at least right that it should be recorded. Such a recognition, the result of a full sympathy and knowledge, it receives from Mr. Murray's volume.
