This volume “sets forth present opinion as to the synoptic question, and gives an outline of the life of Jesus and a summary of his teaching according to the first three gospels.”—Ind.
[*] “The object of the writers of the book was to prepare a narrative based strictly on the three gospels which would embody the results of recent investigations in England unobtrusively and impartially, and their efforts have been successful.”

“A reticence is observable in dealing with miraculous narratives which contrasts with the freedom exercised in the non-miraculous. With this limitation, the book, while not professing to be a life of Jesus, is a good critical outline of his career as exhibited in the first three Gospels.”

“In two parts: the first based on the synoptic Gospels, following Mark with supplementary references to the other two Gospels; the second based on the fourth Gospel, well planned, neglectful neither of the historical growth of Judaism nor of the literary character of the different Gospels.”—Outlook.

[*] Boulton, William B. Sir Joshua Reynolds. [**]$3. Dutton.
“Mr. Boulton’s work is the fullest in biographical interest of any of those which have appeared since Leslie and Taylor in 1865. To the students of technical processes of Reynolds’ art the book makes but slight appeal.... Reynolds entered very fully into the social and intellectual life of his time, and the wealth of anecdote of contemporary diarists and letter-writers has been aptly laid under contribution.... The illustrations ... are well selected and excellently reproduced.”—Ath.
