EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.

"This is not a common-place book. It is the result of labour and learning. It is fitted to render much help to the student in his endeavour to become acquainted with the contents of the Bible analytically and chronologically, and by means of a judicious classification of them. It presents an excellent summary of matters adapted to facilitate an intelligent study of the sacred volume."-British Quarterly Review.

"This Analysis cannot fail to be useful to a large class of students. Numerous tables, summaries of events, analyses of law systems, and other important matters, are appended."-Athenæum.

"Of the first edition of this work we had the pleasure of speaking in terms of hearty praise; and if then it claimed acceptance as an intelligently-conceived and well-executed hand-book to the study of the Old Testament, it now deserves more specific and emphatic commendation-so thoroughly has the author perfected what at first he achieved so happily."-Nonconformist.

Analysis and Summary of New Testament History; including, 1. The Four Gospels harmonized into one continuous Narrative. 2. The Acts of the Apostles, and continuous History of St. Paul. 3.

The whole illustrated by copious Historical, Geographical, and Antiquarian Notes, Chronological Tables, etc. Fifth edition, revised. Post 8vo, extra cloth, 5s. 6d.

"This able Analysis and Summary reflects the highest credit on the typographical skill, the critical acumen, and the extensive biblical learning of the author. .We regard it as a most valuable hand-book, whether to ministers or private students, of the Scriptures, and fully realizing the object of the author."-Eclectic Review.

"The two volumes before us are well described in their titles. The first is the most simple in its plan, but, simple as the plan seems, its execution must have been a work of time and labour, and the author has lost sight of nothing that might conduce to the object in view. The summary and analysis of the text, which is of itself a work of no small difficulty, is cleverly done, especially in the Mosaic laws and ordinances and the author generally endeavours to explain or illustrate any obscure points in Jewish history, particularly,' as he frankly remarks, 'those portions which are most frequently the subjects of college examinations.' The other volume is a more elaborate,

and it seems to us greatly more useful, performance for the general public. It is a thoroughly good and useful book, and one of the best, if not the very best, companions we have met with for a young person undertaking the thorough study of the New Testament History."-Dr. Kitto's Journal of Sacred Literature, Oct. 1852.

"Mr. J. Talboys Wheeler, the author, as well as publisher, of these most useful volumes, has just added to his good service thereby rendered to students, by the publication of An Analysis and Summary of New Testament History. The objects which Mr. Wheeler has proposed to himself, namely, that of reproducing the Gospels and Acts in a typographical style best calculated to fix them on the memory; and of incorporating with these narratives such historical information as shall render the whole as easy of comprehension as a modern history, and of storing the mind of the student with every species of illustration necessary for the complete understanding of the narrative, will, we think, be admitted by all who examine the book, to have been most satisfactorily accomplished by him."-Notes and Queries.

An Analysis and Summary of the Historical Geography of the Old and New Testaments; comprising a Geographical Account of every Nation mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, illustrated and explained by brief Reviews of the Political History, digested into continuous narratives. Small folio, illustrated by large coloured Maps, with a large View of Trusalem and Plan of the Ancient City. Extra cloth, 7s. 6d.

The above work is intended more especially to accompany the Analyses and Summaries of Old and New Testament History, as an ATLAS thereto; but such additions have been introduced as will, it is hoped, render it of service to Biblical students generally.
