McKechnie, William Sharp. Magna carta: a commentary on the great charter of King John. *$4.50. Macmillan.
“Mr. McKechnie may justly claim to have provided us with a most adequate commentary on Magna Carta. His notes ... show that he is widely read in the literature of his subject; and they are admirably lucid. The book will be the more useful because it is mainly a summary of the researches and theories of the best modern critics.” H. W. C. Davis.

McKim, Rev. Randolph Harrison. Problem of the Pentateuch. **$1. Longmans.
“Lectures in reply to the ‘higher criticism’ of the Bible.... The attractiveness of Dr. McKim’s book for the general reader, not particularly interested in homiletical literature or the disputes of theology, lies in its well-sustained tone of urbanity and its fairness to the ‘higher critics.’ Dr. McKim does not hesitate to state their arguments clearly. His own argument is interesting merely as a revelation of the theories of the Pentateuch put forth by persons who deny the inspiration and Mosaic origin of the five books.”—N. Y. Times.
