    Art . I . A Course ofLectures > containing a description and Systematic Arrangement of the several Branches of Divinity \ accompanted with an Account both of the principal Authors , and of the Progress which has been made at different Periods iti Theological Learning . By Herbert Marsh , D . D . F . R . S . Margaret Professor of Divinity * Part I * Cambridge , printed and sold . Sold also by Rivihgtons , London . 180 , 9 . 8 vo . pp . 116 .

    Art . II . A Letter to the Conductor of the Critical Review , on the Subject of Religious Toleration ; with occasional Remarks on the Doctrines of ike Trinity and the Atonement . By the Same Cambridge , &c , 1310 . 8 vo . pp . 37 .
