THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE ROMANS, transcribed from the editio septima of Tischendorf has been arranged by J. R. Craw- ford, M.A., Master of Berkhampstead School, in paragraphs and lines, so as to present the student with a kind of logical landscape. The plan is not without its visual and mental advantages; but may it not involve something like a foregone conclusion ; if at least, it suggest or tend to suggest or modify interpretation ? The present division of the Scrip- tures, however, into chapters and verses, is attended with an analogous and most serious inconvenience, which Mr. Crawford's analytical tran- script so far as it goes is designed to obviate. In two instances only does the editor avowedly become a commentator (see Preface) in chapter v. verse 14, where the similitude of Adam's transgression is referred to the word "reigned," instead of to the word " sinned," and again in chapter ix. verso 5, where he rejects Tischendorf's punctuation, equally exegetical, without, however, substituting his own in the text, before the debateable phrase " God over all." An exposition of the argument of the epistle in English is subjoined to the Greek Reprint : which we have no doubt will be found useful by those ministers and students in theology for whose benefit it has been published.

Mr. Atkinson's TRAVELS IN THE REGIONS OP THE UPPER AND Low AMooli is a large and handsome volume, richly illustrated. Unlike his well-known work on " Oriental and Western Siberia," it is not a per- sonal narrative or diary of daily incidents and observations, but a more elaborate attempt to embody and classify information which will be ac- ceptable to men of science, to politicians, and to those who are interested in the extension of commerce.

Mr. Lowe, the historian of the military operations in Cc:crawl. Into DURING THE REBELLION OF 1857 AND 1858, is a medical officer, who took part in the campaigns he describes. The accuracy of his details is attested by the fact that his work is dedicated, by permission, to Sir Hugh Rose. THE PHILOSOPHY OF NATURE, by Dr. Bosse, is a work "embracing the whole field of scientific knowledge, and venturing on opeouletaans

which in this country have engaged but little attention," and the author announces that " his opinions are often at variance with the highest authorities." We have no wish to excite a prejudice against a work of great labour, upon the merits of which we have not yet qualified our- selves to offer any opinion ; but we cannot overlook the evidence of carelessness or confusion of mind which presents itself in the very first sentence of the preface. How would Dr. Boase have us construe this passage ?—" In the following pages speculation enters more largely than usual into the treatment of the sciences ; and on this account may be re- pugnant to many, as being too metaphysical."

PATRIOTS AND FILIBUSTERS, by Mr. Laurence Oliphant, is a reprint of papers which appeared in Blackwood's _Magazine. In the section headed " Patriots " are comprised five chapters on Circassia, and two on the progress and policy of Russia in Central Asia. A visit to Louisiana and Central America furnished the matter which stands under the rubric " Filibusters."
