Art . II . —The Country Minister , a Poem , in Four Canto * , with other Poems . By the Rev . J . Bretteu . 12 mo . pp . 113 . Whittakers . 1821 . WE rise from the perusal of " The Country Minister ? ' . with the delight we feel after having enjoyed the conversation of a man endued with
good sense , benevolent sensibility and true piety : though pleased ^ vitn the sweetness of the versification , the truth and tenderness impressed on every paragraph make us appear to listen to the voice of a conSp ^ iioB * rather than to the studied strains of a
poet . The subject did not call forth the loftier diction of genius ; but , if the work afford not the highest gratification of taste , it gives ample enjoyment to the benevolent heart ; for although there are little incongruities in the character of the hero , wlueh
convince us that the poem portrays only the circumstances belonging to the situation of the Country Minister , not the history of any individuals ytet we feel impelled to believe that the purest feelings and noblest sentiments attributed to the subject of the work are a transcript of the mind of the author , and lament tttot rifrfc are acquainted with hipcx only through the medium of his boftIL' , . ....

Itift c ^ l ^ mry to the practice , of alt tribunals , * re believe , to defer a decision , when both parties have had a reasonable time to produce their vouchers , because one of them makes affidavit that he believes the " bookshelves of Divine
Providence" to contain documents which , could he only get at them , would be very important to his cause . On the evidence produced , 1 John v . 7 must be condemned as spurious . When another Greek MS . containing it comes to light , the cause can be reheard ; by that time the Dublin MS . will be at
least 500 years old , and consequently competent to fulfil the conditions of Mr . Porsoti ' s challenge . We had intended to have concluded with some remarks on what Bishop
Burgess says of Unitarians , but we trust that what we have already said will enable them to bear with equanimity his harsh words and his unfavourable opinion . The cross fire of our unskilful enemies is destructive
only to themselves . While an Irish Bishop complains that we - take as much or as little of Griesbach as we like , his Cambrian brother declares that our cry is "Griesbach , all " . or none . " We are pretty well accustomed to the chargeof pride of understanding and overweening confidence in
our own judgments ; but , according to Bishop Burgess , our crime is a Popish deference to authority . €€ They trust to their auxiliar , M . Griesbach . He is the rock of their infidelity and the pope of their system . His single authority is sufficient for mutilating the received * text of the New
Testament . On him they repose as their security , vand content themselves ivith r Il ailillg his ot ^ eeticma /* ' ** Another charge is , that # ui Unitarians have « one nothing themselves in this
