      Original Sin . J ? factical Summary . From these tables it will appear that the volumes contain a body of Unitarian Divinity . The author agrees in opinion for the most p $ rt with the well-known writers of his

      denomination , of whom he makes a free but judicious and acknowledged * use . At the same time , he is no servile follower or blind partizan ; fie dares to differ from those whom fee most honours y and in justification of himself , he presents his readers with his reasons , which are never captious ,

      impertinent or weak * Although the subjects of the Lee , - tures are not novel , the mode in which they are discussed gives them an appearance of originality . ^ The liveliness of a personal address relieves the heaviness of a continued

      argument , and the dullness of verbal criticism ; and Mr . Grimdy ' s manner of writing ( and this is said to be more particularly the case with his manner of speaking ) keeps the attention # - wake from first to last , and allows neither listlessoess nor lassitude

      On the Athanasian Creed no argument would have been so striking as the following anecdote , which the experience of every one that has been much i « the world will shew to be by no means incredible .

      Art I . —Evangelical Christianity considered , and shewn to be synonimous with Unitarianisftiy in a Course of Lectures on some of the most contro * verted Points of Christian Doctrine , addressed to "Trinitarians . B v John Grundy , one of the Ministers of the Congregation assembling in the Chapel iu Cross Street , Manchester . In Two Volumes . 8 vo . Pp . 53 $ and 552 . Eaton . 1 S 13 , 1814 .

      rl the winter of 1813 , Mr . Qrundy began a course of Unitarian Lectures at Manchester , on the alternate Sunday evenings . Public attention was immediately aroused . The Chapel in which the Lectures were delivered was crowded to excess : in

      four or five other places of worship opposition-lectures were regularly delivered ; pamphlets also appeared against the Lecturer ; the strangest reports were put in circulation ; and some of the more timid Unitarians

      were alarmed . Under these circumstances , Mr . Grundy published the Lectures singly soon after their delivery . Illness interrupted him in his course ; and he devoted his hours of involuntary retirement to the collection of the Lectures already published into volumes , adding a few others which he would have delivered

      if at the time his health had been sufficiently recovered . This is the history of the present publication ; which independently of its merits recommends it strongly to the notice of the advocates of free inquiry and the friends of truth .

      The following are the Contents of the volumes ,:- —Vol . I . The Unity of God * Explanation of the Trinit y * The Existence of a Devil . The distinct Existence and Personality of tiie Holy Spirit . The Impersonality of Oie Holy Spirit . The Deity of Jesus Christ . Nine Hundred Passages of

      Scripture proving the Unity of God . The Pre-existence and Divinity of Jesus Christ . Extracts from various Authors on the Trinity . The Humanity of Jesus Christ . Appendix addressed to the Members of the New Jerusalem Church . Vol . H . The Opinions of Christians in the First Century on the Person of Christ ,
