A NEW edition of the Gaelic spiritual Hymns of Peter Grant has been published by Messrs Alex. MacLaren and Sons, 360 Argyle Street, Glasgow, at 3s 6d net. This edition is a great improvement on the twenty editions preceding it. There is added a very interesting sketch of the struggle through which the author passed from the darkness of a state of nature into the light and freedom wherewith Christ makes His people free. This sketch casts much light on the contents of these spiritual hymns, which have been admired by spiritually-minded Gaelic-speaking Highlanders throughout the world. This is true in a special manner of the hymn on page 132—”Caraid is dluithe na brathair.” That hymn brings into strong relief many passages in the sketch. A very interesting light is cast also on the religious condition of the people of the Highlands of Scotland under the dark Moderatism which prevailed at the time. The efforts of Peter Grant to convey gospel light to his fellow-sinners in his hymns and preaching shows his zeal for Christ and for their souls. We bespeak this book all success.—N. C.
