A brilliant, soldierly description of that great man and of the scenes of his exploits. =311. Eldad the Pilgrim.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ 6_d._ In the form of a tale, showing the condition of Judæa under Hyrcanus. =312. Ephrem and Helah.= (Hodder) 5_s._ A not ill executed tale of Israel in Egypt. The description of the water turned into blood is particularly effective. =313. The Gospel Story.= (Hodges) 6_s._ The best harmonising narrative for popular use. =314. The Gospel of the Childhood.= By Dean GOULBURN. (Rivingtons) 5_s._ =315. The Acts of the Deacons.= By Dean GOULBURN. (Rivingtons) 5_s._ So excellent that it is much to be wished they were cheaper. =316. St. Paul.= By CONYBEARE and HOWSON. Abridged. (Longmans) 7_s._ 6_d._ =317. The Fall of Jerusalem.= (Nelson) 1_s._ 6_d._ Well told and illustrated. =318. The Story of Salvation.= By Mrs. J. MERCIER. (Rivingtons) Admirable in many respects, though not perfect. It is well calculated to teach how Holy Scripture may be studied. Nothing has been said here of the Psalms. Books on them are rather devotional reading than fit for libraries. The most compendious in giving information is an American book, =319. The Treasury of the Psalms.= Compiled by the Rev. G. HUNTINGTON and the Rev. H. METCALF. (Wells Gardner, Darton, & Co.) 7_s._ 6_d._ It ought to be widely known. Next best for the purpose is:— =320. A Plain Commentary on the Psalms.= (Parker) 2 vols. 10_s._ 6_d._ =321. Eastern Manners and Customs.= (Nelson) 1_s._ 6_d._ Useful for teachers to consult when preparing a lesson. _MODERN RESEARCH INTO MONUMENTS._ Here only the small popular books are mentioned. The great original authorities are too large and too expensive. =322. Assyria.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ =323. Babylonia.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ =324. Egypt.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ =325. Greek Cities.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ =326. Persia.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ =327. Sinai.= (S.P.C.K.) 2_s._ Full of most useful information, but for somewhat advanced students. =328. Mount Sinai and Petra.= (Nelson) 2_s._ =329. Nineveh and its History.= 1_s._ 6_d._ Both of these speak to the eye by good illustrations. =330. Babylonian Life and History.= By E. A. W. BUDGE, M.A. (R.T.S.) 3_s._ =331. Recent Discoveries on the Temple Hill.= By the Rev. J. KING, M.A. (R.T.S.) 2_s._ 6_d._ Lively and easy narrations of the experiences of a residence in Jerusalem at the time of the chief discoveries, and easier than those above mentioned. =332. A Year in Palestine.= By Mrs. FINN. (Nisbet) =333. A Second Year in Palestine.= By Mrs. FINN. (Nisbet) =334. Jerusalem and its Environs.= (Nelson) 1_s._ 6_d._ Language rather difficult, but numerous excellent illustrations. [Illustration] ALLEGORIES AND ALLEGORICAL TALES.
