reality which he had given his whole energy to expound; but, notwithstanding this, there are obvious links of connection present to his mind, and with much brilliance he draws forth from the Divine casket chains of jewels which beautify and illumine one another. These lectures are more fit for private meditation than for critical dissection, and we are too thankful to the author for his heart-searching words, to submit them to any detailed analysis. It may be observed that he has made wise use of all modern researches into the text, and handles with great skill the loci vexati of the Epistle, here as elsewhere showing the results of ripe scholarship.

The Complete Works of Thomas Brooks. Edited, with Memoir, by the Rev. ALEXANDER BALLOCK GROSART, Liverpool. Vols. I., II., and III. Edinburgh: James Nichol.

Mr. Nichol has begun nobly his new series of the later English Puritans with the complete works of Thomas Brooks, the Independent pastor of St. Mary Magdalen; the first three volumes of which are before us. Brooks is but little known save by his Precious Remedies,' his 'Mute Christian,' and his 'Unsearchable Riches of Christ,' and yet he was, perhaps, the very greatest of the later Puritans. A contemporary of Thomas Fuller and of John Milton,-born, indeed, in the same year as the great Puritan poet, he was a noticeable man, even side by side with such compeers.

With infinite painstaking and genial garrulousness, Mr. Grosart has compiled an excellent memoir of him, carefully gathering together all scraps of information concerning him that can now be found. What is more, Mr. Grosart has for the first time given us a careful and conscientious text, scrupulously free from the licentious emendations and finikin modernisings of Mr. Bradley, the Tract Society editors, the editor of Ward's Standard Library, and most others. Mr. Grosart is punctilious to a comma, for which he deserves the hearty thanks of all lovers of pure literature. Even as contributions to our knowledge of Commonwealth literature, these reprints are of very great value. The religious value of their subject matter is above all price.

A Commentary on the Whole Epistle to the Hebrews. Being the substance of Thirty Years' Wednesday's Lectures at Blackfriars, London. By that holy and learned divine, WILLIAM GOUGE, D.D., and late Pastor there. Before which is prefixed a Narrative of his Life and Death. Vol. I. (Puritan Commentaries.) Edinburgh: James Nichol.

The new volume of the Commentaries,' by the learned Rector, for forty-five years, of St. Ann's, Blackfriars, and member of the Assembly of Divines, is especially valuable, both from its great rareness, and its great excellence and learning. No editor's prefix, no preface, nor note of information is given, but we presume the Comment has been printed from the text of the folio of 1655. The editors have retained the short, but succinct and interesting biographical narrative prefixed to that edition, and they could not have done better. Except Owen on the Hebrews, no such critical and learned commentary on this important book is to be found in English theology. This reprint will be a great boon to students. We could have desired concerning the man, a little of the biographical gossip of which Mr. Grosart is so great a master.
