It is entitled A Pictorial. Life of Jesus Christ in the Words of the Evangelists, with brief notes, compiled by the Rev. H. Formby, and published by Burns, Oates, and Co., 17 Portman Strut, pries sixpence. The text is that of the. Douai version. and the notes acre harndess as well as brief, with the exception perhaps of one on p. 44, where thereferenoe to there:stool:ism of the Council of Trent is in fiat contradiction to the text it pro- fesses to elucidate, which reminds one of Dr. South's remark "This text would have been clearer if it had not been ex- plained." If the S.P.C.K. or some other firm would uudertake a corresponding- publication, the text that of the Authorized Version with illustrations of a more artistic character, they would supply, I fool sure, a felt want.—I ma, Sir, to..
