by our author as possibly, though not certainly, the Bishop of Durham of that name, whose date is 957-68. The Rushworth Version of the Gospels, made by Farman and Owun, and probably of the tenth century, is also dealt with at some length. The same is the case with the poem Judith mentioned above, which has been assigned to singularly different dates Dr Cook is of opinion that it may be regarded as settled that this poem was composed between 800 and 937; but he thinks we have no means of deciding whether it was "in Wessex or Mercia, whether in 856 or 918, whether to celebrate the stepmother of King Alfred or his daughter, Queen Judith or Queen Ethelflaed." Special attention is given to Ælfric, "the foremost representative of Old English culture in the tenth and early eleventh century." A summary of Dietrich's views is given, and the main points in Ælfric's career, so far as they can be determined, are stated. These are but a few of the many things of interest which are brought under our notice in this able work.

Professor Driver has found time among his many and absorbing engagements to prepare a volume on the English Psalter.1 Its title, The Parallel Psalter, so far indicates its scope and purpose. It is intended to promote the study of the Psalms on the part of the English reader and to be a help to the comprehension of them. It takes the Prayer Book version and places over against it, on the opposite page, a new version giving a more accurate representation of the Hebrew. This version is by his own hand, and aims at precision rather than literary excellence. Thus English readers have the advantage of retaining the version with which their ear is so familiar, and which has rare literary merit, and of reading alongside of it another rendering which will explain it and correct it in those matters in which it is confessedly faulty. It is a happy idea, and it is carried out with undoubted success. The volume is also furnished with an admirable introduction, and glossaries of noteworthy expressions and archaisms. It will be gratefully received by many devout readers.
