This is the second edition of this book. “It is far more than a slight revision.... The text has been more than doubled, and the number of diagrams increased from 33 to 77.... The text is placed on the left-hand pages, and the diagrams, instead of being massed at the end of the volume, as in the former edition, are placed on the right hand pages, the space not thus used being available for notes by the student.” (Engin. N.)
“As a whole, the book is well adapted to the needs of engineering colleges, and in a number of important features is the most satisfactory one now available.” Henry S. Jacoby.

“We believe that the interests of both theory and practice would be better served if the instruction offered by Mr. Moyer were combined with such a course as that afforded by Professor Emch’s book.” Cassius J. Keyser.

Muirhead, Rev. Lewis A. Eschatology of Jesus; or, The kingdom come and coming: a brief study of our Lord’s apocalyptic language in the synoptic Gospels. $1.75. Armstrong.
“The volume is composed of lectures given on the Bruce foundation, and is subject to the limitations of its origin. The first lecture considers the pre-suppositions of the study; the second, the relation of the Jewish apocalypses to Jesus; the third, the actual teaching of Jesus concerning the consummation of the Kingdom; and the fourth, inclusively, the Son of man.”—Am. J. of Theol.
“The treatment, as a whole, however, can hardly be called more than sketchy. Taken altogether, the book, though stimulating, suffers from the fault which besets all exegetical studies dominated by pre-suppositions. Mr. Muirhead has said some very sensible things, but his volume presumes an attitude of mind ... that one may go the length of literary criticism and yet refrain from dogmatic or historical changes.” Shailer Mathews.
