dwelling with affection aud admiration on
the newspaper with which he was 50 long
conuocted-The New York Herald. BY
one Of those condolences which happen to
all men engaged in laborious works, in
yolying long time in their preparation,
this book does not appear until the three
journalists whom Mr.. Hudson most es-
teemod, and whose criticism he would have
valued most bighly-Mossrs. Bennett, Ray
mond aud Greeley, have all passed away.
The publishers, Harper & Brothers, have
made of it an exceedingly attractive volume
Of nearly 500 pages, and We are glad to
notice that the demand for the volume is
such as to warrant them 10 issuing a second
edition. No extensive library can afford tc
be without it. Phinncy has it.

Iu this volume the publishers hav
brought into one large volume three dis
tinct English books on the subject Of ney
Bible version, written respectively by Dr.
j. b. Lightfoot, Archbishop Trench, au,
Bishop Ellicott, and the whole is preface,
with long introduction by the American
editor, DR.. =. Scbaf. There are advant
ages in this arrangement, as the books ar
different enough from one another to bea
the close compauiouship which they fn,
between these covers, and they are all q
well written, and so full Of facts and dis
cussions Of real value, that every reade
will be glad to get them. All the fou
writers, We believe, are members Of tn
committee selected to revise the authorize

Of King James translation Of the Bible

version. The arguments for aud agains
the present revision are fairly stated it
shown that correct revision never doc

new translation, that is now under consid
