Before we part with Reinhard , we should observe , ' that in the preface to the third edition of hfe € Christian Morality / lie pointed out what seemed to him radical defects in Kant ' s Philosophical System ; and that the publication , by Lessing , of the celebrated
Wolfenbiittel Fragments ( a posthumous work of Reimarus , in which the human origin of Christianity was attempted to be proved ) drew forth from him a defence of Revelation , entitled , An Es ^ ay on the Plan formed by the Author of the Christian Religion for the Happiness of the Human Race ; ' of which excellent work a translation has been made into French by M . Dumas .
In conclusion , we cannot help expressing our conviction , that no young divine—no one , in short , intent upon eminent usefulness in his profession , —can read the Letters of Reinhard without feeling himself improved and stimulated , —without a deeper sense of the extent and variety of attainments indispensable to a thoroughly furnished teacher of religious truth , —without forming a determined purpose , by a rigid economy of time , and the most assiduous improvement of means and opportunities possessed , to endeavour to combine , as he did , the solid learning of the divine
with the eloquence of the preacher ; and at once to sanctify literature , and to secularize theology , by uniting usefully , gracefully , and conscientiously in one character , the endowments of the man of letters and of the Christian minister .

The Mutiny of the Bounty was a fortunate and fertile event for literature . It has been served up in twenty different ways , and scarcely yet does it pall upon the public appetite . We have had it in books of travels and of trials , —in faithful history and fanciful
fiction , —in prose and in verse ; it has been Byronized and Mitfordized ; and now Mr . Tagart appends to all that has gone before a personal and practical improvement , in the shape of a biographical delineation of an excellent man , who was an unlucky boy on board , at the period of the catastrophe .
And well does the well-known story read again , thus individualized in its interest . The first three chapters , which describe the mutiny , the surrender of young Heywood to the captain of the Pandora , his brutal treatment as a prisoner , and shipwreck on the passage home , the trial , the condemnation , and the pardon , are full of excitement . Intermingled with the letters and memoranda of the young midshipman himself , ~ we have those of his friends and relatives , —of his mother and sister . The interest , of necessity , declines afterwards , in the fourth chapter , which * * A Memoir of the late Captain ^ Peter IJeywoo ^ R . N . ; with Extracts from his Diary and Conrespoudetice .
