THE MISSING FRAGMENT OF THE LATIN TRANSLATION OF THE FOURTH BOOK OF EZRA, discovered, and edited with an Introduction and Notes, and a facsimile of the MS., by ROBERT L. BENSLY, M.A. Sub-Librarian of the University Library, and Reader in Hebrew, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Demy Quarto. Cloth, 10s. "Edited with true scholarly completeness."--Westminster Review. "Wer sich je mit dem 4 Buche Esra eingehender beschäftigt hat, wird durch die obige, in jeder Beziehung musterhafte Publication in freudiges Erstaunen versetzt werden."-Theologische Literaturzeitung. "It has been said of this book that it has added a new chapter to the Bible, and, startling as the statement may at first sight appear, it is no exaggeration of the actual fact, if by the Bible we understand that of the larger size which contains the Apocrypha, and if the Second Book of Esdras can be fairly called a part of the Apocrypha."-Saturday Review. THEOLOGY-(ANCIENT). SAYINGS OF THE JEWISH FATHERS, comprising Pirqe Aboth and Pereq R. Meir in Hebrew and English, with Critical and Illustrative Notes. By CHARLES TAYLOR, M.A. Fellow and Divinity Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge, and Honorary Fellow of King's College, London. Demy 8vo. cloth. IOS. "The most promising mode of rendering its [the Talmud] valuable parts accessible seems to be that of the separate publication of the more important tracts with a translation and critical apparatus. This is what Mr Charles Taylor has achieved for the interesting Mishnah tract Masseketh Aboth or Pirque Aboth, which title he paraphrases as "Sayings of the Fathers." These fathers are Rabbis who established schools and taught in the period from two centuries before to two centuries after Christ. They are the men who, living in the age immediately succeeding the completion of the Hebrew Canon of Scripture, were first able to look on that Scripture as a whole and to compare passage with passage, discover the bearing of one assertion on another, and thus work out the first system of Biblical interpretation, theology, and ethics. Their system was in full vigour in the time of Christ, and was duly imparted to all students-among others, of course, to our Lord Himself and to the learned Pharisee, St Paul. To a large extent it was accepted in the early ages of the Christian Church, and, through the authority conceded to the Fathers of the Church, became the unquestioned and orthodox system of interpretation till modern times. Hence it is peculiarly incumbent on those who look to Jerome or Origen for their theology or exegesis to learn something of their Jewish predecessors. The New Testament abounds with sayings which remarkably coincide with, or closely resemble, those of the Jewish Fathers; and these latter probably would furnish more satisfactory and frequent illustrations of its text than the Old Testament." -Saturday Review. "The Masseketh Aboth' stands at the head of Hebrew non-canonical writings. It is of ancient date, claiming to contain the dicta of teachers who flourished from B.C. 200 to the same year of our era. The precise time of its compilation in its present form is, of course, in doubt. Mr Taylor's explanatory and illustrative commentary is very full and satisfactory."-Spectator. "If we mistake not, this is the first precise translation into the English language accompanied by scholarly notes, of any portion of the Talmud. In other words, it is the first instance of that most valuable and neglected portion of Jewish literature being treated in the same way as a Greek classic in an ordinary critical edition. The Talmudic books, which have been so strangely neglected, we foresee will be the most important aids of the future for the proper understanding of the Bible... The Sayings of the Jewish Fathers may claim to be scholarly, and, moreover, of a scholarship unusually thorough and finished. It is greatly to be hoped that this instalment is an earnest of future work in the same direction; the Talmud is a mine that will take years to work out."-Dublin University Magazine. "A careful and thorough edition which does credit to English scholarship, of a short treatise from the Mishna, containing a series of sentences or maxims ascribed mostly to Jewish teachers immediately preceding, or immediately following the Christian era. Mr Taylor has his treasure-house replete with Rabbinic lore, and the entire volume (especially the "Excursuses") is full of most interesting matter. We would also call special attention to the frequent illustration of phrases and ideas occurring in the New Testament."-Contemporary Review. London: Cambridge Warehouse, 17 Paternoster Row.

"The 'Select Discourses' of John Smith, collected and published from his papers after his death, are, in my opinion, much the most considerable work left to us by this Cambridge School [the Cambridge Platonists]. They have a right to a place in English literary history." Mr MATTHEW ARNOLD, in the Contemporary Review. "Of all the products of the Cambridge School, the 'Select Discourses' are perhaps the highest, as they are the most accessible and the most widely appreciated...and indeed no spiritually thoughtful mind can read them unmoved. They carry us so directly into an atmosphere of divine philosophy, luminous with the richest lights of meditative genius... He was one of those rare thinkers in whom largeness of view, and depth, and wealth of poetic and speculative insight, only served to evoke more fully the religious spirit, and while he drew the mould of his thought from Plotinus, he vivified the substance of it from St Paul. THE "It is necessary to vindicate the distinction of these men, because history hitherto has hardly done justice to them. They have been forgotten amidst the more noisy parties of their time, between whom they sought to mediate.... What they really did for the cause of religious thought has never been adequately appreciated. They worked with too little combination and consistency. But it is impossible in any real study of the age not to recognise the significance of their labours, or to fail to see how much the higher movement of the national mind was due to them, while others carried the religious and civil struggle forward to its sterner issues."-Principal TULLOCH, Rational Theology in England in the 17th Century.

"The fame of Mr Paley as one of the best practical Grecians of this age would alone be sufficient to secure attention for this book among the Head Masters of our Public Schools and the Tutors of our Colleges.. It contains, in the small compass of 240 pages, six of the speeches of the great Athenian orator, which are less commonly read than his Philippics' and the 'De Corona,' because they rank among his 'private orations.' And yet, equally with the greater speeches of the same orator, they will be found to illustrate not only the details of finance, loans, interest, banking, and other mercantile transactions in Greece in the time of Philip, but also the laws and general polity of that Athenian State, which was the model of the ancient world.”—Times. "Mr Paley's scholarship is sound and accurate, his experience of editing wide, and if he is content to devote his learning and abilities to the production of such manuals as these, they will be received with gratitude throughout the higher schools of the country. Mr Sandys is deeply read in the German literature which bears upon his author, and the elucidation of matters of daily life, in the delineation of which Demosthenes is so rich, obtains full justice at his hands. . . . . We hope that this edition may lead the way to a more general study of these speeches in schools than has hitherto been possible. .... The index is extremely complete, and of great service to learners."-Academy. PART II. containing Pro Phormione, Contra Stephanum I. II.; Nicostratum, Cononem, Calliclem. "The six selected Orations, aided by introductions and notes which supply all that is needed for understanding the original text, will place clearly before the student some tolerably complete pictures of life and lawsuits at Athens in the fourth century B.C. For those who are preparing for the Cambridge Tripos, the assistance which this volume can give will be found of the utmost value. "-Times. the edition reflects credit on Cambridge scholarship, and ought to be extensively used."-Athenæum. "In this volume we have six of Demosthenes' private speeches, well selected and very carefully edited. The notes are very full and minute, and the introductions to the speeches will reward careful study."-Spectator.
