      / Mr . Cappe is in our judgment f jnost eloquent sermon-writer # f modern times : and his set % mom possess the singular inerk of uniting rational reljg ion ; with much fervour and ajrreat

      appearance of sanctity . We are therefore sincerely rejoiced at the republication of these discourses on Providence ; and especially at their coming before the public in so popular a ftxrm . the work is too well known to require any Pther notice fibm us than that

      toe present edition is prefaced by •* n aflPectionafe \ Address to the ^ outh of the RAing Generation , h the Editor ^ J ^ Irs . Cappe .

      Art . V . Short Observations and Reflections upon Select Passages of Scripture , fqr ewery Sunday in the Tear . By the Rev . John Tremlett . 12 mo . pp- 98 . 3 s . 6 d . Johason and Co . JLondon .

      1811 . The design of this work ap ^ pears to us very good . It proT poses to furnish matter for reflection for every Sunday in the year . It is calculated especially for the

      use of the younger people of Christian families , who may , very advantageously , be called toge * ther to read one lecture every morning of the Lord's day . If they could be induced to

      remember the words of the texts only which are prefixed , they would acquire a considerable knowledge of Christian morality , and much familiarity with scripture phfraseology . ,

      The texts are well selected , and give rise to reflections on most points of importance in morals and religion . The observations are valuable and appropriate , and rise naturally from the texts which ' stand at their head . The

      lessons are of unequal merit , yet all are respectable , while som ^ possess considerable eloquenc ^ and pathos . The work is mpire adapted to Unitarian families than others , because it contains a fevrl and but

      a few , observation ^ which have an allusion , more or less direct , to their religious sentiments an < interests * We understand that a second

      Edition isalready in the press ; and we hope the worthy author will derive all the advantages rfroni the publication to whfch its a } £ * rks entitle hirn >
