The third edition, complete, and edited with notes by Prof. Anesaki of the imperial University of Tokio. The editor “holds to the independence of the fundamental documents of the Buddhist and the Christian scriptures. He only raises the question whether the Gospel of Luke, ‘in certain traits extraneous to the synoptical narrative,’ is indebted to a Buddhist source. This question he submits to the reader who compares the parallel texts here presented. Much more than merely such parallels are presented; pretty nearly every book of the New Testament supplies matter for a comparison with the Buddhist scriptures, which even the amateur in such studies will find interesting. The New Testament suffers nothing in the comparison.” (Outlook.)
“As a contribution to the study of comparative religion from a Japanese scholar, this volume has a peculiar interest as well as a positive value for the student.”

Edwards, Amelia Blandford. Untrodden peaks and unfrequented valleys: a midsummer ramble in the Dolomites. $2.50. Dutton.
In this third edition the text is the same as that of the first edition of 1873, but the footnotes and other explanatory matter that appeared in the second edition of the book have been included in the present volume. The district here described is in that part of the Southeastern Tyrol lying between Botzen, Brunecken, Innichen and Belluno; within this space are the limestone Dolomite mountains. There are numerous illustrations in half-tone.
“Now as twenty-five years ago, the indispensable work is Miss Edwards’ ‘Untrodden peaks.’”
