In publishing these admirable texts, the Society for Promoting Chris- tian Knowledge is eminently true to its name and to its purpose. Knowledge is promoted by providing students with the materials for forming their own judgment even better than by seeking to influence their judgment by argument and discussion. Scarcely anything is more to be desired, for example, than such collections of passages as the one that is provided in the first of the little booklets, or than the cheap edition of First Clement which constitutes Text No. 7. The mediaeval texts, also, in Nos. 4-6, will open up interesting realms of knowledge hitherto rather difficult of access. The introductions are brief, but adequate; the editing is evidently competent; the brief notes are useful; the glossaries of ecclesiastical Latin will help the reader over some of the hard places; and the form of the booklets is both cheap and convenient. Apparently, also, transla- tions are to be provided here and there, as in No. 5. The widest pos- sible extension of the series both in content and in circulation is ear- nestly to be desired.
