    lately written upon the Old Testa ** meat * This ingenious and indefatigable friend of historical researches has also written an "

    Introduction to the Study of the New Testament / ' of which the first vxilurne only has been published . Upon this occasion also , M . Eichhorn introduces polemical / divinity . The principal object of the first volume of his

    Introduction seems to establish the important fact , that the first three of our four canonical Evangelists are written upon the model of a primitive Evangelist , called the Evangelist of the Hebrews , written

    in Armenian , but of which there is no copy now in existence . The ^ author takes care to explain the circumstances which are peculiar to each of the three Evangelists , circumstances which must have

    occasioned some variations or ad . ditiuns in their details . This opi » nion of M . Eichhorn has been violently attacked , and as strenuously defended by his school . Professor Hug of Friburg in Brisgau , who published in 1808 an Introduction to the Books of

    the New Testament , may be regarded as the chief of his antagonists : and bis opinions have also ibU ; and bis opinions have also

    been refuted at great length in the liiterary Gazette of Halle , for the year 1605 . As a reply to all these objections , M . Weber , dean

    of the church of Winnenden in Suahia , has published " New Re . searches into the Antiquity and Authenticity of the Hebrew Evan , gelists / * Tubingen , 1806 , 1 vol . « vo .

    first order , and it is hardly neces * sary to add , that we there find discussed with learning and saga * city * an immense number of points , which have been hitherto considered as obscure in the books of

    the New Testament . To the above we ought to add , the U Explanations intende *! to serve as a Guide to the New Testament , " published by Dr ., Stoltz of Bremen , and which have also reached their third edition *

    4 . Professor Augusti had published several years since , the first volume of his translation of the seven epistles called Catholic , with a Commentary . The second volume appeared in 1808 $ at Lemso , In this work we find

    notions of the highest interest on the opinions of the first Christians ^ and on the particular direction given by St . Paul , to the doctrine * of his master , &c On this last subject , we may mention a work which is peculiarly estimable from

    the light which it throws on the history of the apostle of the Gen-, tiles , and of the early ages of Christianity * It was published in 1806 , by-M . Palmer , Professor of Theology , at Giessen , under the title of * Paul and Gamaliel . "
