Analytical Concordance of the Bible. By Robert Young, LL.D.. (G.
A. Young and Co., Edinburgh.) —This is the sixth edition, " revised throughout," of a very elaborate work. Every word, the proper names being conveniently arranged in their proper alphabetical order among other words, is followed by its Hebrew or Greek equivalent. The meaning of the proper names is also given, and the pronunciation is marked. Account is also taken of various readings. The total number of references is stated as. being between three and four hundred thousand. To the present edition a supplement, from the pen of Dr. Thomas Nicols, has been added, giving "A Sketch of Recent Explorations in Bible Lands." This will be found useful. It is followed by maps which give the geography of the Holy Land, with Egypt, Sinai, &c., in considerable detail. There are some interesting facsimiles of Biblical MSS. and of Hebrew and Greek Lexicons to the Old and New Testaments. Any one desiring to furnish himself with a Concordance could hardly do better than purchase this. The prices, we may say, seem moderate for the mass of matter. Together with this volume may be mentioned An Illustrative Scripture Reference Book for Preachers and Teachers, by the Rev. G. S. Bower, M.A. (Nisbet and Co.) This may be described as an arrangement of passages under headings, as " Envy," " Error," " Example-food," &c., a concordance of matter rather than of words ; doubtless it will be found useful.
