Abstract
THIS valuable work deserves the third edition which it has now attained in a little more than six years. It is twenty per cent larger than its predecessor in the text, in the number of references, and in five more large plates. These last include a photograph in ordinary light and a photograph in ultra-violet light of the faded writing in the Peniarth manuscript, which illustrate in striking degree the possible usefulness of the fluorescence method of examining such museum documents. An even more interesting instance, not illustrated by a plate, is the discovery of alterations in the concluding verse of St. John's Gospel in the “Codex Sinaiticus”.
