Meyer, Rev. F: Brotherton. Epistle to the Philippians; a devotional commentary. [*]$1. Union press.
The author has not attempted mere criticism, but has “endeavored honestly to ascertain the meaning of the epistle, and to beat out but pure and unalloyed gold.” Each chapter covers a few verses, the commentary is full and clear and the verses covered are noted in the margin of each page.
[*] Meyer, Hugo Richard. Government regulation of railway rates; a study of the experience of the United States, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Australia. [**]$1.50. Macmillan.
“Professor Meyer, in his preface, declares that he ‘has become firmly convinced of the unwisdom of government regulation of railways or their rates’; and he has hurried into print with this book lest Congress ‘may be led to enact ill-considered laws granting dangerously enlarged powers to the Interstate commerce commission.’ Part I. of the book describes Prof. Meyer’s studies of the state-owned and operated railways in Europe and Australia.... In part II. Prof. Meyer takes up conditions in the United States.”—Engin. N.

[*] “Apart from the matter of personal opinion on this subject, however, Professor Meyer’s book contains much valuable material, which is summarized in a way which cannot fail to interest all students of the railroad question, whatever may be their views as to the expediency of federal legislation.”

[*] Meyrick, Rev. Frederick. Memories of life at Oxford and experiences in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Spain, and elsewhere. [*]$3.50. Dutton.
“The most noticeable feature of this book is in the sidelights it throws on the ‘Tractarian movement’ at Oxford, in 1833-41, as well as on the ‘Old Catholic reform movement’ on the continent, and incidentally on this history of the Church of England during the last fifty years or so.... Aside from this, the book contains a considerable fraction of entertaining matter connected with university social life at Oxford.”—Critic.
