    Published ing the changes under license in all of the the words Universities referred . The to . issue of the Revised New Testament made it a

    foregone conclusion that a Concordance based upon the new text would follow , but in the volume before us the compilers have given far

    more than a classified index to the verses in which prominent words occur , and as a specially valuable — feature _ _ _ — _ they - enable - _ us to see at a glance _ _

    the texts in which a new word is used as ^^ the equivalent of the older translation . Tims , under * love / which in the Revised Version is used for

    ' charity' and for several other words in the Authorised Version , we have all the New Testament verses in which * love * occursand those in

    which it is now introduced as the , equivalent of another expression . This in itself fully entitles the editors to describe 1 their work as compiled

    upon an * original plan , "but , further than this , they have adopted what seems to be a decided improvement — on the — old concordances » by —

    giving ^ the words in strictly alphabetical order , ^ , and not in families or groups . In cases where "words used in the translation of 1611 have

    altogether disappeared in the recent Revision , they are included in the Concordance with a crossreference to the term by which they are replaced

    in the Revised Version , and the same course is followed where an alteration has been made in the spelling x , — cj . Anot - ___ her - slig __ j ht but important ^

    volume of the publisher ' s popular * Deeds of Daring Library / giving a succinct account of the Zulu war , the interest of which has been

    materially revived by Cetewajo ' s visit to England and the determination of the Government virtually to reverse the policy which led to the campaign .

    The author ' s riew of the war is entirely in accord with that which has led to the promised restoration of the kingand he speaks in strong terms

    of tho action of , Sir Bar tie Frere and of the British General , declaring at the close of the story that ' the reader must have been satiated

    with sufficient recital of events which were the outcome of a miserable policy . ' In the same way Major V Elliott condemns the war against ^ Jthe Boers

    in the Transvaal , which led to Sir George Colley ' s defeat and death : Then , ' he writes , ' ensued once _____ more — ___ that _ . __ insan _ — . __ . _ e desire — _ . — of _ a certain party _ ^ ^ ,
