Art. I. A Connected History Of The Life ...
Art . I . A Connected History of the Life and Divine Mission of Jesus Christ ; with Rejections on each Section * By Catharine Cappe . With Notes selected frem the Short * Hand Papers of the late Reverend New come Cappe * 8 vo . pp . 553 . 12 s . Long * man and Co . 1800 .
This publication affords ample proof of the * truly evangelical taste and Christian learning of the respectable consort of Newcome
Cappe , oi the amiable friend and pupil of Theophilus Lindsey . Mrs . Gappe has amply profited by the advantages derived from the school in which she studied the
oracles of God . Anxious for the improvement of the Christian world , and solicitous for the fame of her deceased husband , she has here published various
scattered notes which his indefatigable study of the N . T . had furnished , as appendages to a connected history of the Life of Christ , compiled by herself from

She occupies au elevated station among the distinguished females of this age and country as a Writer , an < j especially , as a

Christian scholar .. We venture to express ourselves thus , without fear of being misunderstood by her and our readers , nor deem our . selves as contradicting her own
declaration , that she possesses no pretensions to literature . We would hold out Mrs . Cappe as ail example of the great attainments in Christian lore which a
religious taste , persevering industry and a clear understanding may furnish , in the absence of what is usually called learning .
We admire the comprehension of mind that couiu give so harmonious an union to the several parts of the history of Christy written by the evangelists , without any manifest appearance of
order . The pr inciple of the har ~ mony adopted , which assigns about two years and a half to the duration of the ministry of Christ , is professedly Mr . Cappe ' s . Our limits will not permit us to state
our objections to it in some points * Nor is the subject of great importance , though we acknowledge , with tlje editor , as Mrs . Cappe chooses to call herself , thkt a clear apprehension of the time
