then does not prove either the one or the other as to them , what colour can there be for pretending that the same thing , or something exactly pr very nearly resembling it , proves Jesus Christ to be God , or to be equal to the Father ?"— -Pp . 258 —260 .
We agree so entirely with this judicious writer , that pur criticism on his work must consist , entirely of extracts of passages which we deem entitled to praise ; and we lament that our limits will not allow us to present our readers with more of these . Enough has been
extracted to recommend the work , which , whatever may have been its effect upon the Barrister ' s immediate correspondent , cannot fail of engaging the understanding and affections of the greater number of readers on behalf of the Unitarian system .

Art . III . —Poems for Youth . By a Family Circle . 12 mo . pp . 106 . Liverpool , Robinson and Sons ; London , Longman and Co . 1820 . FTTH IS little volume is attributed , JL we believe , correctly , to the Roscoe family ; and their names will , we
doubt not , give it an introduction to many a domestic circle . The Poems are of various merit ; all of them are likely to please and improve the youthful reader and learner , and some are very beautiful . We observe in p . 13 ,
the pleasing lines " On visiting Vale Crucis , " which we inserted in a former Volume , [ XI . 349 , ] where they are ascribed to William Stanley Roscoe , Esq . The following " Hymn" ( pp . 59 , 60 ) is pleasing :
Frail tho' my young devotions be , I humbly dare lookup to thee , My Father and my God ! For I have felt affliction ' s power , And yet in sorrow ' s darkest hour , Have mark'd a parent ' s rod .
1 pray not for this World ' s vain hope , ' The soul desires a larger scope , Destin ed to live forever : I ask not many years to live , But that in thosethou will ' st to give , I may forget thee never .
In every varying moment , still May my whole , dtuty be thy will * And may I meet each trial , With fortitude resign ed an d" pure , A spirit anchored to endure , And holy self-deniaK

We select , as another specimen , ** A Dir ^ e / ' from pp . 84 , 85 : The summer winds sing lullaby O ' er Mary ' s little grave ^ And the summer flowers spring tenderly , O ' er her their buds to wave . For oh ! her life was short and sweet , As the flowers which blossom at her feet .
A little while the beauteous gem Bloom'd on the parent breast ; Ah ! then it wither ed on the stem , And sought a deeper rest ; And we laid on her gentle frame the sod , But we knew her spirit was fled to God .
The birds she loved so well to hear Her parting requiem sing , And her memory lives in the silent tear , Which the heart to the eye will bring ; For her kind little feelings will ne ' er be forgot By those who have mourn'd her early lot .

Art . IV . —Remarks on Mr . W * A Halls * s Letter to the Rev . W . Turnery occasioned by the Publication of his Two Discourses , preached at the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Association of Scottish Unitarian Christians at Glasgow . In a Letter
addressed to Mr . W . Robson . By John Marsom . 12 rno . pp . 22 . Marshall , Newcastle-upon-Tyne . 1820 . fTHHESE Remarks are chiefly upon JL the reputed orthodox doctrine of atonement , and are sensible and acute . The Author first proves that " the doctrine of the vicarious sacrifice of
Christ placating the wrath or , God , is unscriptural , " and then shews . t ^ absurdity of the generally-received dogma * On this latter point he says ., " The term God includes in it either three persons or one only . If it includes in it three persons , Christ the son of God
is one of those persons , and included in that term ; consequently , the vicarious sacrifice which he offered to God to pla ^ cate his wrath , he offered to Mmselfy to placate his own wrath . If . it be answered , that the persons in the Godhead are distinct and separate persons , ( and this must
be the case , ' for no one tyill fcontettd that the Son is the Father , or that the Father is the >< Son , ) will [ and if ] it be said mvk > 0 < b& the Son was a vicarious saciince to placate the : wrath of God the Father * : ' wfe a&ffirk , Does not God the Son possess fch ^ same nature and attributes as God the Father ? 4
If he does , was not ; his justiceequally offended as that of the Father ^ by tlife sins of mankind ? Was not his law vio 4 lated , and his anger kindled against them ?
