fixed upon another individual . Those who would believe that Sociriianism has a cloven foot , while the assertion is only abstract and indefinite , may perhaps be moved to doubt when the Rev . Richard Bingham ' s finger points to the Rev . Edmund Kell ' s boots . And the Rev . T . B . Stannas may be personally known to many who are moderately orthodox , who , never having heard him in conversation
blaspheme , that is , speak evil of any respectable person whatever , will be backward to believe , even on the authority of the Rev . Dr . . John Ritchie , that he is in the habit of doing so , deliberately , of his Saviour and his God . Such vituperations are nothing more than the theory of orthodoxy reduced to practice , and made level to the meanest capacities . And it may not be amiss that as we often rebuke the individual in the system , so we should sometimes rebuke the system in the
individual . Mr . Stannus has done this with becoming spirit ; a spirit , we mean , not unbecoming a Christian minister , who has been unprovokedly insulted ; and he says , that when he sent the correspondence to the press , he had been tmxiously awaiting a reply for more than a fortnight ; but we believe that for a satisfactory reply he may wait to eternity . Mr . Thomas Cooke ' s ability in a case of necessity to inflict wholesome flagellation has been before evinced on several occasions ,
one of which was felt so long and strongly as to call for his present disciplinary exercise . The Rev . Richard Bingham has been stimulated , it seems , to speechify to the Bible Society last year , and since that to pamphletize the public , by the soreness yet remaining from the lashes inflicted on his impertinence and bigotry at a Bible Society
meeting in the Isle of Wight , so long ago as the year 1824 . Of that meeting he himself tells us , and we have no doubt , in this instance , tells us truly , * 1 found myself suddenly assailed , and eventually put down by a gentleman on the platform , who , I discovered , was a lay member of a Socinian congregation in the place . ' The Rev . Richard Bingham , jun . should take care how he catches tartars .

A Concise View of the Succession of Sacred Literature . Vol . II . By J . B . B . Clarke , M . A . Mr . Cl . aiike has completed the account of ecclesiastical writers , commenced by his father , Dr . Adam Clarke , in a very satisfactory manner . His own opinions are sometimes interposed , we think , rather unnecessarily ; but commonly his abridgments and analyses of the writings of that motley race called the Fathers , are all that could be wished . He
stops short at the end of the thirteenth century , instead of continuing the catalogue to the invention of printing , as was originally intended , from a sense of the increasing and exceeding worthlessness of the materials . * The authors were generally either hair-splitting casuists , or contemptible enthusiasts ; and the reader , when he knows that the fourteenth century is still more deficient , both in interest and
information , than the thirteenth , will perhaps be inclined to tharik the author who ceased his labours at a period when there was no more either to instruct the head or mend the heart . ' For continuing them so long " , and rendering them so complete , the author deserves the thanks of all who are interested in the study of Christian antiquities , real and nominal ; and we especially recommend his work to young ministers of all denominations .
