critical lucubrations . But these inuendos against Griesbach are neither just nor decent : and they betray the Remarker ' s forgetfuluess of the claims of the Professor to his candour .
The larger portion of Dr . L / s Appendix , consists of Readings from Ori-§ && , and from the M . SS . A . G and C . in relation to that father , to the received text , and , in some degree , to each other .
This is the least exceptionable part of the pamphlet , and may have it ' uses for those who are desirous of appreciating-Griesbach ' s efforts in Biblical Criticism . The student should be
reminded however that the mere num-§ er of readings is not decisive of the class to which the manuscript containing them belongs . * Preeipuus recensionum in criseos sacrte exercitio usus hie est , nt earum anctoritate lecliones bonus sed in paucis
libris superstates defendamus adversus juniorum et vulgarium codicum innumerabilem pcene tnrbam . This is the nature , this , the excellence , of Griesbach ' s system . By this standard let it be tried . It is idle to complain of
him , in one page , 92 , that he has recourse to analysis—in another , 134 , that he dogmatizes by synthetical reasoning . Dr . Laurence may have succeeded in winnowing some chaff from the wheat : let him take the chaff for his pains !

^ TTN reply to the body of evidence JL which Mr . Yates advanced in support of the Unitarian doctrine , and in answer to his animadversions on Mr . Wardlaw ' s Discourses , the latter gentleman has written a large volume , in which he endeavours to defend his
former reasonings , and professes to bring forward additional evidence of the Divinity of Christ , &c . ; and not only to refute Mr . Yates ' s arguments , but even to turn most of them against him . In endeavouring to accomplish these objects , he has indulged in much
declamation ; introduced a great deal of extraneous matter , and , we are sorry to add , exhibited much less of the deportment of the gentleman and the spirit of the Christian even than in his Discourses . With a strict adherence to the main points in dispute , and
with much temper and mildness , Mr . Yates replies to his opponent , with great brevity * but witfi a strength of argument which appears to us to be decisive of the controversy . We earnestly wish that every person who has not made up his mind on these
important subjects , would calmly and impartially compare what Mr . Wardlaw has advanced in proof pf the doctrine of the Trinity and of the proper Deity of Jesus Christ , with the arguments urged by Mr . Yates against these opinions ; and the evidence he
has adduced in support of the doctrine that , according to the Scriptures , there is but one God , in one person ; that this one God is the Father ; and that Jesus Christ derived all his dignity , power and authority from him . Our previous convictions may possibly lead us to form a higher estimate of the
number who would , by this means , become Unitarians than the experiment would justify ; but we are fully satisfied , that no person of a sound understanding and candid mind , would rise from such an investigation , without a conviction , that Unitarians pay as entire a deference to the Sacred
Scriptures as any class of Christians whatever j and that the arguments by which they endeavour to establish their system , whether capable of sustaining it or not , are at least of a nature to deserve the most serious and impartial attention . Were we to give any thing like an abstract of the volumes before us , it would swell this article much beyond
