Just published, in demy 8vo, price 7s. 6d., ELEMENTS OF LOGIC AS A SCIENCE OF PROPOSITIONS. BY E. E. CONSTANCE JONES, LECTURER IN MORAL SCIENCES, GIRTON COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE; 'What strikes us at once about the work is the refreshing boldness and independence of the writer, which, however, is not mere waywardness or idiosyncrasy. In spite of the long-drawn previous history of the science and of its voluminous records, Miss Jones finds plenty to say that is freshly worked out by independent thought. There is a spring of vitality and vigour pervading and vitalising the aridity of even these abstract discussions.'Cambridge Review.

In demy 4to, Third Edition, price 36s., A GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, BEING GRIMM'S WILKE'S CLAVIS NOVI TESTAMENTI.' Translated, Revised, and Enlarged BY JOSEPH HENRY THAYER, D.D., BUSSEY PROFESSOR OF NEW TESTAMENT CRITICISM AND INTERPRETATION IN THE DIVINITY SCHOOL OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY. EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. the a TOWARDS the close of the year 1862, the "Arnoldische Buchhandlung" New Testament, prepared upon the basis of the "Clavis Novi Testamenti Philologica" of C. G. Wilke (second edition, 2 vols. 1851), by Professor C. L. WILIBALD GRIMM of Jena. In his Prospectus, Professor Grimm announced it as his purpose not only (in accordance with the improvements in classical lexicography embodied in the Paris edition of Stephen's Thesaurus and in the fifth edition of Passow's Dictionary edited by Rost and his coadjutors) to exhibit the historical growth of a word's significations, and accordingly in selecting his vouchers for New Testament usage to show at what time and in what class of writers a given word became current, but also duly to notice the usage of the Septuagint and of the Old Testament Apocrypha, and especially to produce a Lexicon which should correspond to the present condition of textual criticism, of exegesis, and of biblical theology. He devoted more than seven years to his task. The successive Parts of his work received, as they appeared, the outspoken commendation of scholars diverging as widely in their views as Hupfeld and Hengstenberg; and since its completion in 1868 it has been generally acknowledged to be by far the best Lexicon of the New Testament extant.' It is a treasury of the 'The best New Testament Greek Lexicon. results of exact scholarship.'-BISHOP WESTCOTT. 'I regard it as a work of the greatest importance. It seems to me a work showing the most patient diligence, and the most carefully arranged collection of useful and helpful references.'-THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL. The use of Professor Grimm's book for years has convinced me that it is not only unquestionably the best among existing New Testament Lexicons, but that, apart from all comparisons, it is a work of the highest intrinsic merit, and one which is admirably adapted to initiate a learner into an acquaintance with the language of the New Testament. It ought to be regarded as one of the first and most necessary requisites for the study of the New Testament, and consequently for the study of theology in general.'-Professor EMIL SCHÜRER.

W. E. GLADSTONE. 'The work, we need hardly say, is of profound and perennial interest, and it can scarcely be too highly commended as, in many respects, a very successful attempt to settle one of the most perplexing questions of the day. It is impossible to read it without obtaining larger views of theology, and more accurate opinions respecting its relations to science, and no one will rise from its perusal without feeling a deep sense of gratitude to its author.'-Scottish Review. |
