Messrs. T. & J. Clark, Edinburgh, have now published the second and the fourth volumes of the "Gnomon of the New Testament, by John Albert Bengel; now first translated into English; with Original Notes, explanatory and illustrative, revised and edited by Rev. Andrew R. Fausset, M. A., of Trinity college, Dublin." pp. 732 and 502, 8vo. The second volume contains the Commentary on the Gospels of Luke and John, and on the Acts of the Apostles. The fourth volume contains the Commentary on the Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, I. and II. Thessalonians, I. and II. Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews. The first and third volumes of this Commentary we noticed in a previous Number of this Review. The whole work is one of rare interest and value; seldom equalled in definiteness and precision of statement, breadth and comprehensiveness of view.
The same enterprising House have also added the seventh and eighth volumes, to the preceding six volumes, of "The Words of the Lord Jesus, by Rudolf Stier, Doctor of Theology, Chief Pastor and Superintendent of Schkeuditz. Translated from the second revised and enlarged German edition, by the Rev. William B. Pope, Hull." pp. 500, 468, 8vo. These volumes complete the work. The whole Commentary evinces wide research, and abounds with impressive thoughts. It is an important aid in interpreting some of the most difficult, as well as the most affecting, passages of the Sacred History.
