"We can honestly recommend this Condensed Lexicon to students of
the Greek New Testament. The Parsing Index is invaluable to those
who have not been prepared, by classical discipline in Grammar, to
see, at a glance, the derivations of words, and the moods and
tenses of verbs. The inflexions of irregular verbs, the analysis
of compound words, the varied and delicate uses of Greek particles
by Hebrew writers, and the well-selected examples of
interpretation, are given so clearly and concisely, that we know
not any other book so thoroughly adapted to the purpose. We are
not informed who the Editor is: he has certainly undertaken a good
work, and done it admirably."--_Eclectic Review_, Feb. 1852.
"We have no hesitation in saying that, whoever the editor may be,
he has done his work well. Every word occurring in the New
Testament is correctly explained and amply illustrated with
suitable examples. An excellent idea not merely of the various
shades of meaning which each is capable of bearing, but also of
the different combinations into which it enters, may be gathered
from the phrases quoted or referred to. All Hebraisms and peculiar
constructions are fully exemplified. Great attention is given to
the prepositions and particles, which play so important a part in
the Greek language. Peculiarities of inflection are stated, and
the derivation is explained, generally with undoubted accuracy. A
vocabulary is given at the end, by consulting which even those who
have but slender acquaintance with Greek grammar may without
difficulty parse every word in the Testament."--_Athenæum._

TOMB OF THE TRADESCANTS.
In Lambeth Churchyard is a Monument, once handsome and elaborately
carved, which was erected in 1662 by the widow of JOHN TRADESCANT
the younger, to the memory of her father-in-law, her husband, and
her son, who were inhabitants of that parish.
The Monument of the TRADESCANTS, which was repaired by public
subscription in 1773, has now again fallen into decay. The
inscription also on the stone that covers ASHMOLE'S grave, who was
himself buried in Lambeth Church, is now very nearly effaced. The
restoration of that Church, now nearly finished, seems a fit
occasion for repairing both these Monuments. It is therefore
proposed to raise a fund for the perfect restoration of the Tomb
of the TRADESCANTS, according to its original form, as represented
in two drawings preserved in the Pepysian Library at Cambridge,
and also for renewing ASHMOLE's epitaph. The cost will not be less
than 100_l._, and assistance is earnestly requested from all who
are anxious to preserve ancient monuments, especially those who
are following the same pursuits as the TRADESCANTS and who are
daily deriving benefit and delight from the labours and
discoveries of these first of English gardeners and naturalists.
