and considerable additional matter of value. Meyer's work justly holds a foremost place among exegetical interpreters of the Scriptures. He is not, in all respects, the clearest exegete, nor in all respects the wisest and safest commentator; but, taken all in all, his works are the most helpful of their kind to Bible students. They are indispensable to those seeking the fullest and deepest knowledge of the Bible. Biblical Lights and Side Lights. By Rev. CHARLES E. Little.* WITHIN this large volume of six hundred and thirty pages are gathered illustrations drawn from the Bible in surprising varieties, and which may be used to illustrate almost any topic or point that it may be desired to discuss in book or address. The work is of a simple form, and while, like many others, filled with quotations and "apt sayings," yet it is very different. It can be profitably used at any step in preparing an address or writing a book. The Life of Christ. By Dr. BERNHARD WEISS, Counselor of the Consistory, and Professor of Theology in Berlin. Translated by M. G. HOPE. Vol. II.† OUR pages have already expressed our high estimate of the scholarship, ability, and judicial spirit manifest in this masterly work. Our dissent to some views expressed, as also defects in minor features have been indicated. This second volume completes the study upon "the seed time" in Christ's ministry, and closes upon the "crisis" of his life. A Popular Introduction to the History of Christian Doctrine. By Rev. P. G. CRIPPEN.‡ THE author's aim is to meet a popular want-that of Sundayschool teachers and ministers and laymen who have not the means to obtain or time to read the more elaborate works of Hagenbach, Shedd, and Cunningham. He has done his work well. All of the many doctrines, views, and discussions, with dates and names of advocates and combatants, are presented, and so as to be readily understood and remembered. *New York: Funk and Wagnalls, Publishers, Street. 1883. 10 and 12 Dey Edinburgh: T. & T.

VOL. VI, No. 24—36 Villanova Solaro. A Story of the Vaudois. By Miss L. BATES. Upshur Hall; or, The Power of Influence. By DOROTHY HOLROYD.* THESE admirable books, though upon different subjects, are in reality harmonious companions. Both teach lessons of supreme importance. The scenes of the two stories are widely separated, as are the characters introduced, but both sketches are intensely interesting, and produce similar impressions. The persecution of the noble count, his flight from the ancestral home, his imprisonment and death in the dungeon, and the murder of the countess and her son by the persecutors, and the lofty Christian life which adorned the persecuted awaken feelings never to be forgotten. College Greek Course in English. By WILLiam Cleaver WILKINSON,† WE heartily welcome this the third volume in the "Afterschool Series." These books are prepared with the view of "making possible, through the English language, a certain degree of culture in Greek and Latin letters." The author's scholarship, tastes, and experience as an educator qualify him for the peculiarly difficult task undertaken. Those who have not had time or opportunity to study these languages will be under great obligations to Professor Wilkinson for the treasures he lays before them. The Missouri Christian Lectures. THIS is a volume containing essays and papers upon questions of special interest at the present time. The subjects chosen are, "The Two Revelations," "Origin and Growth of Free Thought," "Value of Metaphysical Study and Its Relations to Religious Thought," "Preachers' Methods," and "Inspiration." The lectures on the last topic are clear in thought and expres sion, catholic in spirit, and strong in argument. We have met with nothing upon inspiration, of a recent origin, that is more satisfactory than what Dr. Isaac Errett puts in his two lectures of this volume. *Phiadelphia: American Baptist Publication Society, 1420 Chestnut Price, $1.25.

BREWER, JR., PRES'T. Assets, $6,250,000. Surplus, $960,000. "The very satisfactory condition of the Company," the New York Insurance Department says, is due to the management of its affairs by "Able, Prudent, and Honorable Men." The WASHINGTON holds itself responsible for the payment of its policies even if the premium be unpaid; provided the cash value of all dividends to the credit of such polictes be sufficient to pay the premiums to the party's death. This feature is peculiar to this company, and is appreciated when known by the insuring public. JOSEPH F. WRIGHT. WRIGHT & DAY, JAS. B. DAY.
