The Bible True from the Beginning. By Edward Gough, B.A.

Vol. I. (Regan Paul, Trench, and Co.)—The main subject of this book is the question of everlasting punishment, a question which the author began to investigate with so-called orthodox preposses- sions, changed, before he had completed his studies, into a contrary conviction. Other matters are discussed by way of digression, or as opportunity occurs, and there is much spiritual or mystical in- terpretation of the Old Testament Scriptures. A learned book, this ; put together with much industry and conscientiousness, but almost beyond the reading capacities of a busy age.
