t&tion , and which would have well become him who bade the people * repent , ' when the kingdom of heaven was at hand . Some of the paintings are of great antiquity , and possess considerable interest as illustrative of the progress of the art . Many besides those which we have noticed for commendation will afford
much pleasure ; and we trust that a sufficiently liberal encouragement will lead the exhibitors to repetitions of the experiment , and afford us future opportunities ( which we may also seek elsewhere ) for endeavouring to develope , from time to time , something of the higher influences of the Fine Arts on human character , treating them as portions of the plan of Providence for
educating , perfectionating , and blessing man , and showing how all arts and sciences as well as politics and literature , have their place in that plan , where the natural combines with the supernatural , the social with the individual , the visible with the invisible , the past and present with the future , and have their native home in the bosom of an all-comprehensive theology .

Hamilton prints on this principle ; pertinaciously adheres to it ; and exemplifies it in a large proportion of the hundred and thirty pages of his octavo pamphlet . He seems to expect that the fluency of his pen will float anything .
A specimen of this writer ' s hastiness of assumption , and extravagance of manner , occurs at the commencement of Letter I . The allusion is to Dr . Hutton ' s Sermon having been sent by the printer , and not by ' a domestic messenger : '—
