APPENDIX.-Literature of the disputed Origin of the Fourth Gospel, from 1792 to the present. 'A work which must be regarded as a very able and almost exhaustive summary of the arguments in favour of the catholic tradition on this subject-exhaustive, that is to say, in the present state of the question, and until new evidence shall have been discovered. Nothing can be more lucid or effective than the author's method of arranging and presenting his arguments.'-Scotsman. 'There are few works in the later theological literature which contain, in such a confined space, such wealth of sober theological knowledge, and such an invulnerable phalanx of objective apologetical criticism.'--Professor Guericke. 'In this work, from the pen of one of the greatest divines of Germany, the facts are made to speak for themselves, and the result is a complete refutation of the AntiJohannine school of criticism, and a correspondingly complete establishment of the truth on which the unanimous testimony of the ancient Church is shown to rest. Such a work as this was much needed.'-Dickinson's Quarterly. ... "It is with no ordinary gratification that we welcome Dr. Luthardt's exhaustive treatise. All the more so, that while he writes evidently with the earnestness of a man fighting for a treasure, he never descends to the mere special pleader. . . . We cordially commend Dr. Luthardt's work as an able and seasonable contribution to the literature of this question.'-Courant. 'Those who consult Luthardt's volume will find him to be a safe guide. He is remarkably temperate and fair. He makes the liberal concessions of one who feels that his resources are substantial, and that he need not fight for trifles. This is by far the best handbook on the subject which any inquirer can have. We hope that in its present form it will find a large circle of readers.'-Daily Review. BOOK OF PSALMS, WITH A NEW TRANSLATION. BY JAMES G. MURPHY, LL.D., T.C.D., AUTHOR OF COMMENTARIES ON THE BOOKS OF GENESIS, EXODUS, ETC. 'Every Bible Student will look upon this volume with interest, and should give warm thanks to the learned author for the care and erudition which have been bestowed upon it. . . . The introductory chapters are very valuable, referring both to the nature of the Psalms, their themes, their authors, and their arrangements. The exegesis is admirable, and the spirit is devout.'-Methodist Recorder. 'We are indebted to the publishers for an English translation of the admirable work which stands at the head of this review. . . . It is a work of great ability, learning, and research.'-Christian Observer. 'The whole book is very valuable, and is the work of a critic, scholar, and divine of no ordinary attainments, who has devoted to it wonderful conscientiousness and diligent care.'-Union Review. 'This is one of the most important and valuable works yet issued in the Foreign Theological Library. Rich in learning, scientific in method, profound and luminous in thought, it is a masterpiece of exposition, critical and spiritual, worthy to be placed side by side with the author's great "Commentary on St. John's Gospel."-Dickinson's Theological Quarterly. M ESSRS. CLARK have much pleasure in publishing the First Issue of Second Year of Dr. MEYER'S Both of these are translated from editions quite recently published, of which early sheets were, by special arrangement, supplied by the German Publishers. The extreme care which has been given to the editing of these volumes will appear, the Publishers trust, in their great accuracy, and this will be a feature of the whole series. It is evident that the value of the Commentary very much depends on minute accuracy. It is impossible that the same regularity can be maintained in the publication of Meyer as in the other series of Messrs. CLARK. The care demanded prevents speed either in editing or printing; but in order to expedite the publication, the Publishers are happy to state that the Rev. Dr. CROMBIE, Professor of Biblical Criticism in St. Andrews University, has kindly agreed to be associated with Professor DICKSON, and has accordingly edited the present volume on ST. JOHN'S GOSPEL. It is hoped other two volumes may be ready about Spring next year. The volumes will not average more than from 350 to 400 pages each, on account of the great expense involved in the undertaking from first to last. The Subscription is One Guinea for Four Volumes, payable in advance (24s. when not so paid).
