The construction is open to no discussion . The authority of convocation enforces the definite article . 4 Ecclesia visibilis' may not be rendered a visible church . And even if the writer had forgotten , or remembered pervertedly , the history to which he appeals , still the connexion in which the expression occurs was before him . The nineteenth
article is one of a loner series of propositions relative to church government . They are all connected . It must be a church , or the Church , all through ; and the former would violate the manifest intention of the framers and the dictates of common sense . The author ' s translation , and all that hangs upon it , is not worth a straw ; and so he might , and we could almost say must , have known .
After all deductions , however , the Library of Ecclesiastical Knowledge is a valuable publication , and we rejoice very much in its success , especially considering * whence it cometh and whither it goeth . '

Cholera , as it has recently appeared in the Towns of Newcastle and Guteshead . By T . M . Greenhow . London : Highley , Fleet Street pp . 162 . Whatever may be the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the alarm which has prevailed , and is , in many districts , prevailing about Cholera , it is certain that the disease is very curious , and worth the attention of the unprofessional , as well as the medical disputants concerning its
principle of progression . Every body is conscious of a personal interest in whatever is discovered respecting it ; every body reads what newspapers and placards have to say upon it ; and all whom we have met with inquire into the opinions of those who have witnessed its exhibition in this country . Every body would therefore read this book if every body had it lying beside him : and well worthy is it of being read . It is the first absolutely satisfactory account we have been able
to meet with , making the whole case clear to the public as well as the profession , classifying the cases so as distinctly to mark the stages of the disease , giving incontrovertible evidence of its non-contagion , and bringing an adequate proportion of experience to bear on the establishment of sound principles of practice . Its author well understands the principles of philosophizing , and in no case is the exercise of those principles more wanted , and at no period in relation to this disease
could their exhibition be more seasonable . We wish every Board of Health would study this book , and see what the disease really is , how it approaches , how it may be arrested , and how , when it is not arrested , it ought to be treated . Here we have the condensed , arranged experience of one who has watched the manifestations of the malady in its worst forms , who has removed it in some cases , warded it off ii * others , and reasoned successfully upon it in all . For the accuracy of this statement , we refer our readers to the narrative of cases .
The fifth case is a buffet for the contagionists . It is difficult to ob , tain more than negative evidence against contagion ; but here the evidence is positive enough : and if the wise ones in authority had known how to reason upon such facts as well as our author , the nation would have had to grapple with the natural force only of an evil to which their delusions have added tenfold power .
We advise our readers to do as we have involuntarily done , —to read thia book twice ; first , to learn about cholera , and then to admire its
philosophy .
