THE REVISED NEW TESTAMENT.
The Auckland Herald says:—"The edition before us emanates froaj the Oxford Un : ver.sity Press, and is clearly printed, and neatly got up in a royal 16mo. volume of 420 pages. The text is not divided into verses, but into paragraphs—with, however, the old arrangement of chapters and verses indicated at the tide for the sake of convenience. At the commencement is a long preface, unsigned, and dated 11th November last, which gives concieely the story of the movement which led to the revision, and the method adopted. At the end is §dven a list of readings and renderings vVnch the American Committee preferred. Quotations from the poetical books of the Old Testament are given, as they should be, in metrical form. Another feature is the number of valuable footnotes in the book. These refer chiefly to alternate translations and to textual questions, and will be very useful for those who have not the opportunity of consulting works on such subjects. As before, a number of words not contained in the original, but necessary for the understanding of various passages, are printed in italics. We cannot conclude without giving an expression of our admiration cf the marvellous care and accurate scholarship which the new revision exhibits on almost every page.
