Lords and Commons. Vol. I. September, October, and November. Hall.)—It
is only necessary to quote from the title-page the description of this work, "A Reprint of Eight Hundred Speeches and Two Hundred Letters of Members of both Houses of Parliament, .delivered during the Recess, also Leading State Papers, Memoirs of Parliament, and other matters specially-interesting to Members, with copious Index and Election Returns," and to say that this volume contains about eight hundred folio pages.
It is, unfortunately, quite impossible to notice in those columns, with anything like the fullness which they commonly deserve, the valuable volumes which Messrs. T. and T. Clark continue to publish in their Foreign Theological Library. Their cheapness is only the most obvious of their merits. As for this, it is really surprising that books which must often present a very difficult task to the translator, should be pat within the reach of students of theology, at so very reasonable a price. We have before us now A Commentary on the Song of Songs and .Ecclesiastes, by Franz Delitzsch, D.D., translated from the German by the Rev. M. G. Castor, D.D. ; and in the New Testament, the second and third volumes of M. Godet's Commentary on the Gospel of St. John, translated from the second French edition by S. Taylor and M. D. Cusin ; the third volume of Professor C. E. Lutbardte's St. John's Gospel Described and Explained according to its Peculiar Character, translated by Caspar Rend Gregory ; and The Doctrine of the Apocalypse, and its Relation to the Doctrine of the Gospel and Epistles of John, by Pastor Hermann Gebhardt, translated from the German, by the Rev. John Jefferson,—Horr Gebhardt ascribes the book to the reign of Galba ; and a Critical and Exegetical Handbook of the Epistles to the Corinthians, by Heinrich A. W. Meyer, Th.D. First Epistle, i.-xiii., translated from the fifth edition of the German, by the Rev. D. Douglas Banner- man, M.A., the translation revised and edited by William P. Dickson, D.D.
