ON reacting the beginning of this book ^ though pleased with its rationality , we pronounced it dull . We say this to prevent our readers horn hastily laying down a work which , on further acquaintance , we have found capable of strongly
interesting every judicious parent or intelligent child . It appears to be the production of a woman of highly-cultivated mind , who is an affectionate , wise and truly Christian mother . It offers the picture of a family
consisting of parents ever watchful to promote the improvement and happiness Of their children , and of children possessing not only all the loveliness and endearing qualities , but all the imperfections likewise , of their period of life . This little sketch from nature
points out in a happy manner the right mode and the true objects of rational education . We select one short extract , which will give an idea of the easy way in which the author conveys moral instruction to the mind ;
" Esther and Mary had formed a pretty nosegay of field flowers , such as the season afforded * * * * . It was perhaps the last bouquet of the year , and nothing but zeal could have made one so pretty in October . It was difficult to decide who had the largest share iu the work , but each had some particular reason for
wishing to present it to me , singly ; and sorry am I to say that a little dispute arose , such as , happily , is of very rare occurrence in our house , or , although it was conducted without any degree of acrimony on either side , our domestic comfort would be seriously impaired . It does not require a gale to beat down the plants of loveliest growth . ct
An appeal was made to Grace , and I was amused by hearing her decision . Happy for the world if nations and individuals would act upon her principle ! i € i Which of you is ia the right ? ' said she .

Art . III . — The Primitive Christian faith . A Discourse , delivered in the Evening Service at the Opening of the Chapel in York Street , St . James * s Square , London , December
the 19 M , 1824 : to which is prefiw * ed 9 the Prayer used after the Liturgy in the Morning Service , By Lant Carpenter , LL . D ., one of the Ministers of Lewin ' s Mead , Bristol , 8 vo » pp . 38 . Hunter and Eaton , 1825 .
THE " Opening of the Chapel in York Street" has excited not a little attention , and the Umtarian public are much indebted to Dr . Carpenter for presenting to them , through the piress , one of the Sermons which
he preached on the interesting occa * sion . From 1 Pet . iii . 15 , 16 , the preacher delineates " The Primitive Christian Faith , " shewing that it is Unitarian , and explaining how far it agrees with , and in what points it differs from , the prevailing theology of our country . The seriousness and
candour , as well as the scriptural reasoning , of the Sermon , make it peculiarly worthy of perusal , and must recommend the object near to the author ' s heart to every intelligent , dispassionate and pious reader . We have been gratified at finding very clearly stated tpp . 14 , 15 ) the ground of dissent from the Established Church ,
" because by its very constitution it implies the ri g ht of the civil magistrate to interfere in matters of religion , which we see reason to believe introduces worldly motives into tbe solemn concerns of religion , and powerfully tends to make men hypocrites or self-deceivers / 5 — Let the services
