Art . VL— The Scriptural Distinctio n between God and Jesus Christ * A Sermon , preached at Salisbury , on Wednesday , the 28 th day of June , 1815 , before the Southern Unitarian Society . By B . Treleaven , of Dorchester . l £ mo . pp . 46 . Eaton .
Is . MR . Treleaven is a bold and ardent advocate of Unitarianism . He was once , we learn , a preacher amongst the Wesley an Methodists , and he retains the temperament aud the manner of tliat nutnerous and thriving body . His Sermon is well adapted for such members of that denomination , and of
the others which arereputeci orthodox , as dare to inquire into the reasons of opinions , and to read works from other pens than those of their favourite preachers .

Art . V . —Jesus of Nazarethf a Man approved of God . A Discourse delivered at Southampton ^ , before a Society of Unitarian Christians established in the South of England , &c . By Jattoes Gilchrist . 12 mo . pp . 40 . 1814 . Johnson and Co . and Eaton .
THIS is an exposition and defence of the proper humanity of Jesus Christ . It is acute , able , eloquent . We see not how the preacher ' s arguments can be resisted ; at the same time there is , as he himself seems to be conscious , an oddness in certain passages , and a hardness of spirit in others , which will amuse or shock

Translation of a Sonnet of Salvinfs . God . Creating—uncreated energy ! Who ruls ' t and g-overn ' st all that thou hast ma&e . Whose firm and everlasting feet are staid On changeless fate—time and eternity !
Thou g-ivest light to morn—to evening shade ! Directest earth and heav e ns high majesty ! Unsefen , unswayM ^—all seen , —all sway'd by thee !
UnmovM , yet moving a ! i > —by all ohey'd ! Present jn evVy place , —confin ed to none ! Vice trembles , —* Virtue smiles beneath thy pow ' r ^ Thou mad'st the blazing beam ., the white frost hoar . Thou only in thyself art seen and known , Seingf that I know not—yet unknown adore—* Thou only God !—Thou art thyself alone *

I love to . see them mark with narrow line The boiindVits of their tvand-ring * zigzag tide , — - They say in all the rivalry of pride u Thus far I urg * d this milk-white steed of mine . " t look )—the record ' s gone , —a prouder spray Has wash'd the history of its pomp away !
And then I think that man in all his glare Is but a passing wave that sweeps the sea , A restless , surge-like son df grief and care That foams awhile , and ceases then to be . And that the painter * , and the poot ' a hand Are but vain gravers on a faithless satul . A .
