Mrs. Carre is preparing for the press, 
a complete History of the Life of Christ, 
as related by the four Evangelists; in- 
terweaving into one continued narrative, 
their several accounts’ of. the miracles 
performed in proofs of his mission, of his 
prophetic warnings, awful admonitions, 
moral precepts, and various controver- 
sies with the Jewish rulers; terminating 
in his crucifixion, resurrection, and final 
remuneration. She has endeavoured to 
ascertain as nearly as possible, the order 
of time in which the several discourses, 
and the extraordinary events which gave 
Fise to them took place, in the hope of 
exciting an encreasing interest in the pe- 
tusal of the sacred records, by exhibiting 
a more comprehensive view of the whole 
ministry of Christ, and thereby throw- 
ing additional light on many exceedingly 
important, and beautiful passages. The 
whole is illustrated by a series of notes, 
explanatory of eastern phraseology, of 
ancient customs, manners, opinions, and 
prejudices; formerly transcribed by the 
editor, from the short-hand papers of 
her late husband, the Rev. Newcome 
Cappe. This work is divided into sec- 
tions, and at the close of each sec- 
tion, such practical reflections are de- 
duced, as naturally rise out of the subject. 
So many valuable books particularly 
in classical and oriental literature, have 
been published by the University of Ox- 
ford, during the last fifty years; that it 
will, we doubt not, gratify some of our 
readers, to be informed what has been 
lately done, and what is now doing at 
the Clarendon press. Dr. Wurre, au- 
thor and editor of many well known 
works, has just published the second vo- 
lume of his “ Novuin Testamentum: Gree- 
cum,” with the various readings, which 
in Griesbach’s judgment are to be pre- 
‘ferred, or to be considered equal to the 
received text. It isscarcely necessary to 
add that the learned professor printed 
in 1778, at the Clarendon press, ‘* Testa- 
menti Novi Versionem Syriacum Phi-+ 
loxenianam,” the Diatessaron in 1803, 
and the“ Specimen Historia Arabum,” by 
Dr. Pococke in 1806; or that he has 
also published the Political and Military 
Institutes of Tamerlane ; with a first vo- 
lume of Aigyptiaca, A second volume of 
the latter will not be published by Dr. 
White,as intended; but the learnedprofes- 
sor AnTHony SyLvesrreE De Saci of Paris, 
will give a French translation, accompa- 
‘nied with the Arabic original and notes 
of that work, which was to have compo- 
ed Dr, White’s second volume, Pro= 
Monruny Mac., No. 176.

fessor White is also preparing for the 
press, “‘ Sylloge Crisews Griesbach.” Mr. 
Mozetey, a gentleman of this universi- 
ty, distinguished for his acquaintance 
with Arabic literature, has just publish- 
ed his “Vita Abdollatiphi,” in Arabie 
and Latin, a work to which Arabic scho- 
lars have for some time been. looking 
with considerable expectation. A new 
edition of Hephestio’s Enchiridion on 
Greek Metres, a work much wanted, is 
now in the Clarendon press; the editor 
is that excellent scholar, Mr. Garsrorp. 
‘Herodotus ex editione Reizii,” in two vo- 
lumes octavo, has just appeared. Bib- 
lical students will be glad to be informed 
that though Dr. Holmes has some time 
been dead, his transcripts of MSS. 
are notlost. Of his Old Testament from 
the Greek version of the Septuagint, 
with various readings; the Pentateuch, 
with the Prophet Daniel, and a general 
preface, have already appeared. ‘They 
were published in ‘separate numbers. 
Two gentlemen of the University are 
now employed in collating the transcripts 
of MSS, brought by Dr. Holmes into 
this country, and another number of this 
work may be expected soon. The fol- 
lowing works are also in the press: 
“Lowth de Sacra Poesi Hebreorum,” 
vols, 8vo.; “ Euripides, Grece, notis Mus- 
graye,” 8vo.; Sophocles Grece, notis 
Elmsley,” 8vo.;  “ Wyttenbachi® Ani« 
madversiones in Plutarchi Moralia,” 4to, 
and 8vo. These animadversions will, in 
bulk, nearly equal the original work. 
One volume of the former has not yet 
appeared, but isin great forwardness, 
 Andropici Rhodi Ethicorum Nimas 
eheorum Paraplirasis,” 8vo.; ‘ Cicero 
de Oratore,” 8vo,;  Terentii Comes 
diz,” 18mo0,; Shuckford’s Connection 
of the Sacred and Profane History of 
the World, 2 vols. 8vo. Bishop Burnet’s 
Abridgment of the History of the Refore 
mation, 8vo. Republications also of 
Aristotle’s Ethics, and Xenophon’s Ana 
basis are in great forwardness, That 
important improvement in the art of 
printing, called the Stereotype, so zeae 
lously promoted by the ingenious Lord 
Stanhope, bas been introduced here. The 
excellence of this inode of printing, as is 
well known, consists in cheapness and 
correctness: but from its nature is ap= 
plied only to works of rapid sale. The 
only books hitherto stereotyped by Mr. 
Collinson, the University printer, are 
bibles; but in due course of time schoole 
books and other works that ave inv great 
demand, will be stereotyped.
