NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2°d S. No 99., Nov. 21. '57. 



is a bibliography of Subjects. The one particular subject 

 •which occupies tlie present Number, is that of Commen- 

 taries on the Holy Scripture ; but by a peculiarity of ar- 

 rangement, while the reader is here presented with a list 

 of the best Commentaries on the writings of the Old 

 Testament, fiom Genesis to Kings, he is at the same 

 time furnished with a list of writers on about one hundred 

 of the principal subjects referred to in that portion of 

 the Scriptures, — such as Paradise, Covenant of JForks, 

 The Fall, Primitive Sacrifice. This will give some idea, 

 but a very imperfect one, of the mass of useful informa- 

 tion which Mr. Darling has here gathered together. 



Closely connected with this are two books which we 

 have received, and to which we wish to call attention, 

 although, from their very nature, our notice of them must 

 be brief. The first is the new edition of The Sermons 

 on the Festivals, by the late excellent Bishop of Graliams- 

 town. The second is A Commentary on the Gospel of 

 Saint Matthew, by the Rev. Harvey Goodwin, M.A., the 

 result of his own earnest and private study of the Evan- 

 gelist, and designed especially to meet the wants of those 

 •whose only familiar tongue is English. The book con- 

 tains no foreign language, either dead or living.
