"The Epistle to the Hebrews has had many interpreters, but none have reached its innermost teaching and expounded the philosophy underlying the doctrinal features like Dr. DuBose. . . We most heartily commend this book to our readers."-Northern Christian Advocate.

"The method of the book is largely exegetical. . . and yet the exegesis is not like that of other commentators with whom we are familiar; it is not grammatical or critical or historical. The best name for it seems to me to be philosophical: it never loses sight of the ultimate truth of things. The Churchman.

By M. BRODRICK, Joint Author of "Concise Dictionary of Egyptian Archæology" etc. etc. Crown 8vo. pp. xii-196. $1.25, net.

This is an endeavor to show from the historical and legal aspects how the Jewish law was evaded on all its most important points at the trial of Christ, and how Pilate failed in his duty as the Procurator Cæsaris. The writer has purposely taken a non-theological attitude in the hope of making the book useful to teachers of all denominations. The site of Golgotha is discussed in the light of the latest archæological discoveries.

THE PRINTING PLANT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH

THE UNIVERSITY PRESS was established in May, 1904, as a place where scholarly printing could be done in a manner harmonious with the tastes of scholarly men of artistic appreciation. A new and perfectly adapted building was erected, housing a plant well equipped and suited to executing the class of work contemplated. The plant consists of three power presses and a type-setting machine, with other necessary machinery, and a large assortment of type.

THE PRESS stands as a protest against the fads of modern type design. It seeks for simplicty in the use of type letters, and employs ornament only in harmony with and subordinate to the text illustrated or decorated. It is one of the offices of the typographer to give an added grace to the written message by an intelligent utilization of the principles of appropriateness in the type composition. The thought or idea to be communicated acquires or loses force, directness, clearness or lucidity, or beauty in proportion to the fitness of the typography employed as a medium. The workers at THE PRESS have made a careful study of these principles, and keenly appreciate the need for the judicious assembling of types for pleasing and harmonious effects. The Printing Art, the scholarly magazine of the craft, has recognized this, on several occasions, by awards in its competitions and otherwise.

The establishment of THE PRESS seems to be the fulfillment of the dream of the founder of the University, Bishop Polk. His son, Dr. William M. Polk, of New York, has made the following allusion in his Memoirs: "In time it was expected that presses would be established, from which a native literature should be issued. In short, the University Domain was to be fitted and prepared for a home of all the arts and sciences and of liberal culture in the Southern States." In its spirit and aims, however, like the University itself, THE PRESS would not remain provincial, but seeks to make its appeal to the lovers of art in printing and the making of books wherever they may be found.

Feeling a measure of confidence in its ability to give entire satisfaction to the most discriminating, THE PRESS solicits correspondence and requests for any printing worth being done well, and will gladly submit specimens of its work.

THESE Verses were written by President CHARLES CUTHBERT HALL, and read at the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Delta Psi Fraternity at Williams College.

They express the faith, held by many in common with the author, in the continuity beyond the years of the real friendship of souls. The message will be a stimulus and consolation to all to whom it comes.

As a piece of bookmaking, the volume is the best that has come from The Sewanee Press. The type used is the beautiful Caslon, and the paper is "Arches" French hand-made. It was dampened before printing and the sheets afterwards smoothed in the dry-press. There is a touch of antique red on the title-page and the colophon is likewise rubricated. Otherwise the volume is without decoration, making its appeal through its dignified simplicity.

The entire edition consists of only 180 copies. Of these, ten copies will be bound in full levant with silk ends, stamped in gold; the remaining 170 copies will be bound in limp leather. The special copies are sold for $5 each, and the others at $2 each.
