cases remain on undeniable proof to leave any doubt that the pretensions of vaccination to the merit of a perfect and exclusive security in all cases against smallpox , were admitted at first rather too unreservedly , yet that the value of this important resource is not disparaged , for these cases bear a very small proportion to the number of those that are effectually
protected by it , and there are the most undoubted proofs from experience , that where vaccination has been performed perfectly , small-pox occurring after it , is almost universally a safe disease , and though ushered in by severe symptoms , has hardly ever failed to be cut short before it had reached that period at which
it becomes dangerous to life : and that 6 , 933 persons were vaccinated last year at the several stations in London , 48 , 105 charges have been given to the public , and 77 , 467 have been vaccinated in Great Britain and Ireland by the immediate correspondents of the Establishment : making a total of 84 , 000 vaccinated last year , a number superior to any former year .

Proposals are issued for publishing Dissertations on the Apostles Creed , translated from the Latin of Herman Wjtsius , D . D ., and followed with Notes , critical and explanatory , by the Rev . Donald Fraser , Kennoway . Competent judges have esteemed this work equally worthy of attention with the author ' s
celebrated treatise on the Covenants , and have regretted that hitherto it has been inaccessible to the English reader . The translation now offered to the public is recommended by the Rev . Dr . Peddie , as faithful , and as conveying not only the sense of the author , but a considerable portion of his spirit and manner . "

It is well known that in many parts of France , there exist Protestant families , either entirely separated or living together in small numbers , the remains of the great emigration , often the sorrowful wreck of churches formerly flourishing , where now public worship is no longer performed , and religious sentiments are preserved only by tradition . This neglect in which the Protestants have lived is a
great evil , which the Consistories of the environs should endeavour to remedy . They ought to make minute researches in order to discover these abandoned families , to visit them , to administer to them the holy rites of Christianity , and furnish them with all the means of instruction their situation allows of . The
census of the Protestants which has been made throughout France would greatly facilitate this undertaking . And the justice of government would grant ever ) thing which the situation of these persons without instruction and religious worship might require . in
The Reformed Consistory of Pans , - formed that there existed Protestant families in some of the villages of the department of l'Oise , sent M . Monod , Jun ., the assistant minister . On hj return from this truly pastoral visit , M .

8 vo . The Sunscrit contains the principal works of the Hindoos , on Religion , Philosophy , History and Jurisprudence . A striking similarity is found between this language and the Greek , and accordingly Mr . Yates's plan in this work agrees very much with that adopted in Greek Grammars .

It is proposed to re publish , by subscription , the Forms of the Church of Scotland , &c . &c . published at Edinburgh in the year 1567 , by Bishop Carsewell , of Argyll , with an English Preface , Notes ,
and some account of the BLshop , &c . ; by the Rev . James M'Gibbon , Inverary . This ancient and curious book , printed in the Gaelic language , at a period when there were but few books printed even in English , must be interesting to all the lovers of Celtic literature . To them the
single circumstance of there being now only one copy of the work known to be extant , will , independent of many other reasons which might be stated , but which are reserved for the Editor ' s Preface , be a sufficient apology for proposing to
reprint this very rare and earliest specimen of printed Gaelic , as the only means , both of preserving it from being utterly lost , and of preventing the Gothic scepticism of future times as to its having ever existed . The prefatory letters addressed
