Maclear — continued. as in that of the former volume, the most recent and trustworthy authorities have been consulted, notes subjoined, and references to larger works added. It is thus hoped that it may prove at once an useful class-book and a ''convenient companion to the study of the Greek Testament. “A singularly'' ''clear and orderly arrangement of the Sacred Story. His work is solidly'' and completely done.” —.

These works have been carefully abridged from the author's larger manuals.

This may be regarded as a sequel to the Class-books of Old and New ''Testament History. Like them, it is furnished with notes and references'' to larger works, and it is hoped that it may be found, especially in the higher forms of our Public Schools, to supply a suitable manual of instruction in the chief doctrines of the English Church, and a useful ''help in the preparation of candidates for Confirmation. “It is indeed'' the work of a scholar and divine, and as such, though extremely simple, ''it is also extremely instructive. There are few clergymen who would not'' find it useful in preparing candidates for Confirmation; and there are not a few who would find it useful to themselves as well.” — .
