The Real Worth of New Documents

By Editor

The New York Observer says:—

"It is reported that the bundle of Shapira manuscripts, recently 'valued at $5,000,000,' has been bought for eighty cents by Dr. Ginsburg, who examined the manuscripts for the British Museum."

That is just about the proportion between the estimated value and the real worth of all those newly discovered documents purporting to be almost, if not quite, inspired, among which may be numbered the once much-lauded "Teaching of the Apostles."
