NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Every attempt, undertaken in a reverential spirit, to facilitate the labours of the inquirer after Scripture truth, deserves especial favour at the hands of those who may have the opportunity of directing public attention to such endeavours. The Emphatic New Testament, according to the Authorized Version, compared with the various Readings of the Vatican Manuscripts. The Four Gospels. Edited, with an Introductory Essay on Greek Emphasis, by John Taylor; which is an attempt to represent to the English reader certain peculiarities in the Greek text, is a work of this class, and therefore, without entering into any minute detail of the manner in which Mr. Taylor carries out his endeavour, we will let him speak for himself on the subject of its results. "If any one were known," says Mr. Taylor "to be in possession of a copy of the Greek Testament so marked by its inspired writers as they would wish to have it read; and if the system of notation, when applied to the English translation, were found to be equally efficacious in conferring distinction on the corresponding words in that language, should we not deem it a great treasure, and be eager to obtain a marked copy, esteeming it next to hearing the words in the tone adopted by Our Lord and His Apostles? Yet something of this kind is offered to our notice in the present work; without altering the expression, it often makes the meaning clearer; it adds certainty to many readings, which before could only be founded on conjecture; and it may altogether be considered as a kind of running commentary of no less authority than the original text."

We have received the first Part of Mr. Akerman's Remains of Pagan Saxondom, which contains engravings of some beautiful Personal Ornaments from a Barrow near Devizes; of a Gold Buckle found at Ickworth, Suffolk; and of the curious Glass Vase found at Reculver, now preserved in the Canterbury Museum. The price of the Part, half-a-crown to subscribers, is apparently a high one; but it must be remembered that all the objects are represented of their natural size, so that the plates become in some measure a substitute for the antiquities themselves.

The Society of Antiquaries having, on the ballot taken on Thursday week, adopted the proposal to return to the old rate of subscription, we can only hope that all parties—those who so strenuously and honestly advocated the measure, and those who as strenuously and as honestly opposed it—will now meet on the common principle by which both were actuated, a desire to promote the well-being of the Society, and co-operate in bringing forward those judicious reforms, without which the present step would only be delusion.

We are very glad to find, from the recently published Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire and report concerning the ancient laws and institutes of Ireland, that Lord Eglintoun, the present Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, has recommended to the Treasury the immediate publication of the Brehon Laws. In a very interesting letter from Dr. Jacob Grimm, which is appended to the Commissioners' Report, he well describes the benefits which will result from this measure of justice to the literature of Ireland. "To the historians and philologists of Europe," observes Dr. Grimm, "a valuable and important monument of Irish antiquity remains as yet shut up. It is only suitable to the dignity of the Irish and British nation to effect the publication of the Brehon Laws, as has been already accomplished in the case of the laws of Wales."

After this mention of Irish antiquities, we may remind such of our readers as may be desirous of promoting the very praiseworthy objects of The Kilkenny Archæological Society, that they may still be supplied with complete copies of its Transactions upon payment of the four years' subscription; and we scarcely know how they could better employ twenty shillings.

Books Received.—Sketches in Canada, and Rambles among the Red Men, by Mrs. Jameson, which forms two Parts of Longman's Traveller's Library, is a reprint, with the omission of all that was of a merely transient or merely personal nature, or that has become obsolete in politics or criticism, of this accomplished writer's Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada. This graphic work will supply pleasant reading for a railway journey, and not be hastily thrown aside when the journey and its perusal are completed.—The Valiant Little Tailor, and other Stories; forming the second Part of the very satisfactory translation of Grimm's Household Stories, which Addey and Co. are publishing, with admirable illustrations by Wehnert, for the especial delight and gratification of all "Good Little Masters and Mistresses."

PLAIN SERMONS addressed to a Country Congregation. By the late Rev. EDWARD BLENCOWE, Curate of Teversal, and formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 3 vols. foolscap 8vo. cloth, 7s. 6d. each. Sold separately.

"The numerous possessors of Mr. Blencowe's former plain but excellent volumes will be glad to receive the third series of his 'Plain Sermons addressed to a Country Congregation,' similar in character and texture to the two series which have preceded it."—Guardian.

"Their style is simple; the sentences are not artfully constructed; and there is an utter absence of all attempt at rhetoric. The language is plain Saxon language, from which 'the men on the wall' can easily gather what it most concerns them to know.

"Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level and easy for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that the author's mind was able and cultivated, yet, as a teacher to men of low estate, he makes no display of eloquence or argument.

"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength and a warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say,—'I believe, and therefore have I spoken.'

"His affectionateness too is no less conspicuous; this is shown in the gentle, earnest, kind-hearted tone of every Sermon in the book. There is no scolding, no asperity of language, no irritation of manner about them. At the same time there is no over-strained tenderness, nor affectation of endearment; but there is a considerate, serious concern about the peculiar sins and temptations of the people committed to his charge, and a hearty desire and determined effort for their salvation."—Theologian.

THIRTY SERMONS. By the Rev. ALFRED GATTY, M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield. 2 vols. 12mo. Cloth, 8s. each.

"Sermons of a high and solid character, and the production of a good Churchman. They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out the Church's doctrine."—Theologian.

"Of all the sermons I have ever seen, they are by far the best adapted to such congregations as I have had to preach to, at any rate, in my opinion; and as a further proof of their adaptation to the people's wants—and indeed the best proof that could be given—I have been requested by some of my parishioners to lend them sermons which were almost verbatim et literatim transcripts of yours. That you may judge of the extent to which I have been indebted to you, I may mention that out of about seventy sermons which I preached at W——, five or six were Paley's, and fifteen or sixteen yours. For my own credit's sake I must add, that all the rest were entirely my own."—Extracted from the Letter of a Stranger to the Author.

SERMONS ON THE DOCTRINES AND THE MEANS OF GRACE, and on the SEVEN WORDS from the CROSS. By GEORGE TREVOR, M.A., Canon of York. 12mo. Cloth, 6s.

"A volume of excellent, sound sermons, admirably suited to answer the end for which they were preached and are published, the promotion of practical piety. An additional interest attaches to them on account of recent circumstances connected with the writer's name, as they more than sufficiently attest his fitness for pulpit ministrations in the English Church. They are well calculated also for family reading."—John Bull.

"There is much, certainly, in these sermons, to attract and reward attention. The subject precludes novelty in their essence, nor does there seem much attempt at originality in their method and style of treatment. But the sermons are manly and earnest in their resolution to look the truth in the face, and to enforce it against a prejudiced resistance, of which the writer evidently knows but too much; and they show, moreover, a true conception of the tone by which that resistance is to be met.... The more valuable part, after all, of Mr. Trevor's present volume is, the set of Sermons on 'The Seven Words,' because they are practical, and are raised by their solemn theme high above the limits of controversy, which, necessary as it is, is yet the earthly part of theology."—Scottish Episcopal Journal.

SPECIMENS

OF

TILE PAVEMENTS.

DRAWN FROM EXISTING AUTHORITIES

BY

HENRY SHAW, F.S.A.

Although some few examples of the original designs, and many separate patterns taken from the scattered remains of these most interesting Pavements, are figured in divers Architectural and Archæological Publications; it is presumed, that if a series of specimens of the many varieties of general arrangement to be found in those still existing, together with a selection of the particular Tiles of each period, the most remarkable for the elegance and beauty of the foliage and other devices impressed upon them, were classed chronologically, and brought within the compass of a single volume, it would prove highly valuable as a work of reference; not only to architects, but to to all who are engaged in furnishing designs for any kind of material where symmetrical arrangements or tasteful diaperings are required.

The present work is intended to supply such a desideratum. It will be completed in Ten Monthly Parts. Each Part to contain Five Plates, royal 4to. printed in Colours. Price 5s.
