    Dante , the warmest and truest of all Ghibellines , puts Frederic in hell as an E p icurean ; and what is more curious is , that amongst these Epicureans , whom he sees , or whom he hears of as there , three of the four are Ghibellines , that is , Frederic , the Cardinal Ribaldini , and Farinata . The fourth , Cavalcanti , was not a Ghibeliine , but was father of that Guido Cavalcanti , the intimate friend of Dante , who had married a daughter of Farinata , who joined with the Ghibellines , and had the reputation of being a

    philosopher engaged in searching whether he could find any proof that there was no God . The leading Ghibellines in general were therefore , we fear , more inclined to infidelity , than , like the Patareni , followers of the gospel , according to their own views of Christianity ; and it may be some consolation to a religious mind to reflect , that he who condemned heretics to the fire , did so , not from any mistaken religious feeling , but probably because he had no religion at all , and , perhaps , with the idea of undermining religion by rendering it odious and cruel . y / J * 2 ( To be continued . ) / £ / . \ y

    Art . II . —The Bampton Lectures for the Year 1824 ; being an Attempt to trace the History and ascertain the Limits of the Secondary and Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture . By J . J . Conybeare , M , A ., Prebendary of York , &c . 1824 . * On the Historical Types contained in the Old Testament . Twenty Discourses preached before the University of Cambridge in the Year 1826 , at the Lecture founded by the Rev . John Hulse . By the Rev . Temple Chevallier , M . A ., late Fellow and Tutor of Catharine Hall . 1826 .

    These two works , proceeding from men justly eminent in their respective Universities , serve to shew what is the present state of opinion among the theologians of the English Church , on a subject regarded by many as connected with the most vital interests of religion . They consider it under different points of view . Mr . Conybeare devotes nearly the whole of his book to the history of the secondary interpretation , while Mr . Chevallier is

    chiefly occupied with illustrating the typical character of personages in the Old-Testament history , and the fulfilment of these types in Christ . Such had been the range of wild imagination in the authors who had treated on this subject before him , that little was left but to select those instances which would , pest bear to be produced in the present age ; and , accordingly , Mr . Chevallier ' s work is not distinguished b y any novelty in the application of his , principle . It is very evident that the labours of Sykes , though received with little those of his communionhave their

    gratitude by own , produced effect ; . Both authors , at the same time that they contend strenuously for the existence of a secondary sense , are very desirous to guard against the fanciful extension of it ; while neither of them furnishes us with any certain criterion by which t , he limits of the sound and warrantable application may t > e fixed . Indeed , the vagueness of conception and inaccurary of reasoning which pervade the general remarks of both , on that mode of interpretation of which one writes the history and the other gives the example , as they Mr . Conybeare died jiist when he had completed the revision of the proof sheet * of this work .
