THE FOUR GOSPELS. Translated into Modern English from the Au- 

 thorized and Revised Versions. By Ernest Bilton. Cloth, jti.oo. 

 A cJieafi edition of a tieiu translatioii of tJie Gospels, having a great rim oj 

 popularity in the religions circles of Great Britain. 

 The author has taken the authorised version as it stands, availing him- 

 self of many corrections suggested by the revised version, and has given t'.ie 

 apparent meaning of the text in the plainest possible language, the whole 

 object being the simplification of tlie narratives of the Evangelists. It is not 

 expected that this rendering will supersede tlie accepted version. The author 

 evidently feels that he is not without hope that it may lead to the serious con- 

 sideration, in proper quarters, of the advisability of providing the people 

 with an authorised translation of the Scriptures into the " vulgar tongue." 

 not of the sixteenth but of the jiineteenth century.

Jo ;ms volume the author has utilized the modern conception of lines of 

 torce originated by Faraday, and afterwards developed mathematically by 

 Prof. J. Clerk Maxwell, and he has reached an explanation of electrical and 

 magnetic phenomena which has been expected by physicists on both conti. 

 nents. It may have a greater influence upon the scientific world than either 

 Newton's "Principia" or Darwin's " Origin of Species," because it places 

 natural science upon its only true basis — Pure Mechanics.
