Vol 04 - MIRACLES OF OUR LORD.

MIRACLES OF OUR LORD.

[Here, also, we cannot attempt a complete list.] 1006 COLLYER (WILLLAM BENGO, D.D., F.A.S.) Lectures on Scripture Miracles. 8vo. Lond., 1812. 2/6.

While reading we seem to hear the rustling of a silk gown. The lectures are by no means to be despised, but they are far too fine for our taste.

1oo7 CUMMING (JOHN, D.D.) Lectures on our Lord’s Miracles, as earnests of the age to come. 12mo. Lond., 1851. S. 2/- Below the Doctor’s usual mark, which is none too high.

1008 HOWSON (J. S., D.D., Dean of Chester). Meditations on the Miracles. Fcap. 8vo. 3/- Lond., R. Tract Society. [I87Z.] Short, single, but deeply spiritual and suggestive.

1009 KNIGHT (JAMES, A.M.) Discourses on the principal Miracles. 8vo.

Lond., i83I. 4/6.

Mediocre discourses much appreciated by the clergy who borrow their sermons.

MACDONALD (GEORGE, LLD.) The Miracles of our Lord.

Cr. 8vo. 5/- Lond., W. Isbister & Co. I87O.

Contains many fresh, childlike, and, we had almost said, dreamy thoughts.

It suggests side-walks of meditation.

MAGUIRE (ROBERT, M.A.) The Miracles of Christ. Sq. 12mo.

Lond., Weeks & Co. 1863. S. 1/6.

We have been agreeably disappointed in this book. The bad paper of/ends the eye, but the page bears many living, stirring thoughts. If the author preaches in this fashion we do not wonder at his popularity.

STEINMEYER (F. L., D.D., Prof. Theol, Berlin). The Miracles of our Lord in relation to Modem Criticism. Translated from the German by L. A.

Wheatley. 8vo. 7/6. Edinb., T. & T. Clark. I875. No doubt a very scholarly book, and useful to those whose heads have been muddled by other Germans, but we are weary of Teutonic answers to Teutonic scepticisms. We suppose it was needful to hunt down the rationalists, for farmers hunt down rats, but the game does not pay for the trouble. l013 TRENCH (R. C., D.D., Abp. of Dublin). Notes on the Miracles of our Lord. 8vo. 12/- Lond., Macmillan. x87o.

Brimming with instruction. Not always to our taste in doctrine; but on the whole a work of highest merit.
