they are of course stiff Churchmen , but not of the old Tory school : they are as high Calvinists as the contributors to the Evangelical Magazine . They represent , we suppose , a section of the Wilberforce or Evangelical Church party . The work displays respectable talents .
The Retrospective Review , consisting of Criticisms upon , Analyses of , and Extracts from , curious , useful and valuable Books in all Languages , which have been published from the Revival of Literature to the Commencement of
the Present Century . 8 vo . 5 , ? . Now in the Ilnd Volume . A work on this plan may be made the most interesting of all publications ; and the proprietors of this publication seem to have able writers about them who can sustain
the reputation of literature ; but if they t ^ ke the titles of old books merely as mottos for essays , what avails their title or tbair plan ? The Gospel Magazine , and Theological Review . 8 vo . 9 d . Now in the Vth Volume ; but there has been some work or other under this title for
in&ny years . The present publication is , fox the bentefit of Ultra-Calvinists , sometimes called Antinomians . It is unintelligible to all but the disciples of the Sapralapsariao , school . The execution , is on a level with the design .
The Christian Remembrancer ; or , The Churcbraaa ' s Biblical , Ecclesiastical and Literary Miscellany . 8 vo . 1 $ . 6 dL . Now in the Ilnd Volume . The desiga o £ this work , like that of the Bartlett ' s Buildings * Society , is the
defence and promotion of " all and « svery thing contained w the Book of Common Prayer . " It is , however ^ fielder literary nor popular , but a dull compilation of Church-of-England commonplaces .
The Bon- Ton Magazine . 8 vo . lav £ . Now in the Vth Volume . This is scarcely a respectable work . The caricature prints and its anti-government politics alone , we apprehend , keep it up . ^

and their partisans is wholly laid at rest , by the course of nature , indeed , as well as of political events ; and long ago it ceased to be at all a practical question . Yet do we find a strange sort of spirit lately sprung up —a sort of speculative Jacobitism , not wholly romantic , neither , we are afraid ,
but connected with the events of the times , and a sort of twin-brother to the new-fangled doctrine of legitimacy . The praises of the Cavaliers are * lavishly chanted ; the devotion of the
Stuart partisans is consecrated as something more than human ; the exiled house is represented in the most false and favourable lights ; and the Whigs are vilified in an equal proportion , and with no kind of discrimination . Now
the men who shew their zeal in this truly preposterous manner run no risk , much less do they make the smallest sacrifice ; yet they seem to exult in the disinterested gallantry and constancy of the old and real Jacobites , as if thev of the old and real Jacobitesas if they
, belonged themselves to the caste . In a sound skin , they publish what , even half a century ago , would have cost them either ear ; and they would fain persuade themselves that they have a right to glory in the romantic purity of their honest zeal for a beaten cause .
Now all this is not mere folly and affectation ; nor is it all enthusiasm . The persons who indulge in this lofty strain have some things in common with that party whose personal attachment , gallantry and : contempt of danger , they have no pretension to share .
Like them , they hate the cause of popular principles ; they dislike a free and rational government ; they had rather see a kmg unfettered by a parliament ; a judge unchecked by a jury ; Uament ; a judge unchecked by a jury ;
and a press free to praise only the stronger side , and restrained from palliating all abuses save those of power . To promulgate such doctrines openly , even at this time of day , and large as the strides are which have been made
within a few years , might not be altogether , safe > and accordingly their advocates are eager in seizing every opportunity of crying up those who were the victims or such principles in a former age , and of stamping / with every mark of opprobrium aud ridicule the great men to whom we owe the whole
blessings of the English constitution . Ed . Rev . No . LXVII . Vol . XXXIV . p . 149 .
