sense of incorporating the conclusions of much study into the biographies of the great personalities of the Bible without placing before the reader the processes by which they were attained. Mr. Valling's sketch of the life and times of Jesus is a graphic narrative of his deeds and teachings, interwoven with descriptions of the religious and social conditions amid which he lived. It is a vivid presentation of that matchless Person whose life, says Keim, was bounded at its circumference by the human limitations of his age, but in its center exalted above all." The volume is enriched by abundant learning and by references to the ablest works on special topics. Mr. Deane's book is based upon academic lectures, and is composed in a less rhetorical style. The writer appears to follow Dr. Pusey's work on Daniel in great part. His views of the Book of Daniel are certainly far removed from the conclusions of most recent critics. He holds that it was written by one author throughout, a certain Exilian prophet, Daniel, a contemporary of Ezekiel, who lived from the years 606-530 B. C. To Dr. Cheyne's treatise on Jeremiah we accord the highest value for its thorough and judicious criticism, its felicitous style and extensive erudition. There are few men who can invest the most difficult problems of Old Testament history and interpretation with such living interest as that which Cheyne imparts to these subjects. He is a writer as graceful and felicitous as Dean Stanley, whom he so much admires and so often quotes, while he is far more profoundly versed in Old Testament criticism. Illustrations drawn from a wide range of reading, and comparisons between the conditions existing in Jewish history and other historical situations, enliven the picture of ancient times and make it seem more real. We call especial attention to the apt comparison of Jeremiah to Savonarola at the end of the volume. We commend the volumes of this series as useful contributions to the popularization of the results of Biblical scholarship—a tendency and movement of our time of the utmost interest and promise.
