Alfred Edersheim, D.D. 2 vols. (Longmans. 12s. net.)—This is a reprint of the first- edition of Dr. Edersheim's book. We generally_ meet with the work in an abridged shape ; but all abridgement is a distinct loss, for the author was great in illus- trative details, for no man knew his subject more thoroughly. We are glad to see this edition (the tenth), giving us, as it does, the book in its entirety.—Historical Characters. By Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer (Lord Dolling).
