Our Bible : How It has Conte to Us. By

the Rev. R. T. Talbot.

(Isbister and Co.)—Canon Talbot begins with some account of the MSS., Hebrew and Greek, of the Bible, which he illustrates by some apposite instances from classical bibliography. Its second and third chapters deal with " English Translators up to the Time of Wycliffe, from Cwdmon downwards." A fourth is devoted to the work of the Revisers, under the title of "The Last Translation;" this might advantageously have been extended.. Few people have any idea of the merits of the Revision, though they are generally hasty enough in criticising it, This is a popular work which can scarcely fail to be useful.
