NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2"-i S. IX. Feb. 11. '60. 



and unassisted writer/' We may probably return to this 

 subject on some future occasion. 



The Pre- Adamite 3Ian, or the Storij of our Old Planet 

 and its Inhabitants, told by Scripture and by Science. 

 (Saunders & Otley.) 



Our author attempts to establish the existence of a 

 human race anterior to Adam, from the facts of Science 

 and the narrative of Holy Scripture. But he is not equal 

 to his self-imposed task. It is too early as yet to take 

 for an established fact of science, that the stone celts 

 found at Croydon and elsewhere were formed by the hand 

 of pre-Adamite men, in the absence of any fossil remains 

 of the men themselves. And how mere a tyro our author 

 is in Biblical Science may be judged from the circum- 

 stance that out of the two distinct records of creation, 

 combined by Moses in the Book of Genesis, he attempts 

 to make a record of two distinct creations; being ap- 

 parentlv ignorant of the two separate sources (well known 

 among "theologians as the Jehovistic and Elohistic docu- 

 ments) upon which Moses framed his narrative. 



Addresses to Candidates for Ordination. By Samuel 

 Lord Bishop of Oxford. (J. H. & J. Parker.) 



These addresses, which were actually delivered at the 

 successive ordinations of the Bishop of Oxford, are now 

 published in a collective form by their gifted author, and 

 form as eloquent and heart-stirring a manual of the 

 pastoral care as any we have read. It is a volume which 

 a sincere and earnest clergyman will hardly be able to 

 lay down, except for such acts of devotion as it is designed 

 to" prompt. 



Hymns from the Gospel of the Bay. By the Rev. J. E. 

 Bode, M.A. (J. H. & J. Parker.) 



This little volume hardly sustains Mr. Bode's aca- 

 demic reputation, and rarely (if ever) rises above the 

 level of" pleasing verses." It is marred by some doggrel, 

 and contains not a hymn which rivals the poetry of 

 Heber, the pathos of Watts, or the bold nights of C. 

 Wesley. 



Eticharistic Litanies from Ancient Sources. By the 

 Rev. Orby Shipley, M.A. (Masters.) 



Full of grand and deep devotion. Admirable as is the 

 one Litany of our own Church, the same ancient sources 

 from which it was compiled would supply material for a 

 good score of supplemental Litanies, equally rich and 

 more varied.
