-''The Revelation of John; with Notes,
Critical, Explanatory and Practical, by Rev.
Henry Cowles, d. D., published by D. Apple
ton & Co., is prepared upon the same general
principles as the authors ''Notes on Daniel, I"
and it is intended to be clear and practical
exposition of the ''Revelations" suitable for

has been to evolve the laws of Interpretation
applicable to the book out of the book itself,
out of the already extant prophecies of the
Old Testament, and.ou of the history of the
times in which it was written; and while there

all his conclusions, the work is ably written,
and it throws much light upon important pas
sages of the Revelations" For sale by Por-
