We have received another volume of The Biblical Illustrator, by

the Rev. Joseph S. Exell, M.A. (J. Nisbet and Co.) It deals with the Gospel of St. Luke, and, as it contains between seven and eight hundred pages very closely printed (the whole being equal, we should think, to about two thousand ordinary octavo pages), it may be supposed that the design is carried out with considerable fullness. Of course, the execution of the book is very much a matter of scissors and paste ; but great pains have evidently been taken to utilise a wide range of reading. A list of authorities would have been useful, and would certainly have set off a volume which, of course, depends for its value upon the writers quoted.
