" Sir , there is a great deal of weakness in this their counsel that is given you . War ought to be very just , and undertaken upon godly principles and scripture grounds , which will no where justify the taking away another man ' s right . Let us make a war upon scripture principles , viz . defensive . Has not all the blood spent been held forth as upon reformation £ *'—Pp . 458 , 459 .
The resolution for equipping the fleet passed by a majority of 176 to 98 . We might , of course , pursue these extracts to an indefinite extent , but we have done enough to give our readers some experience of the style of the work , and of the extent to which the perusal will tend to bring them more intimately acquainted with the opinions and modes of argument of the leading men of those days . In this point of view , the materials which jt affords cannot foil of being of the greatest value to the historian and biographer .

Art . IIL — Four Discourses on the Sacrifice and Priesthood of Jesus Christy and on Atonement and Redemption . By John Pye Smith , D . D # London . 1828 . This work of Dr . Smith ' s is a republication , in a very enlarged form , of a pamphlet which made its appearance a few year * ago . To this pamphlet an answer was written by Mr . Fox in a series of Letters addressed to its very respectable author . And we cannot help expressing our great surprise that
no notice is taken , in the present edition of the Discourses , of any of the observations contained in those Letters . We are sure that the statements and reasonings advanced in them were not undeserving of Dr . Smith ' s serious consideration . We have no doubt that they must have passed under his review , and it is . therefore , difficult to account for the total silence
which he has observed respecting them . Was it that they offered objections and presented difficulties to his theory , which he found it not so easy a matter to repel and remove ? Be this as it may , we have no hesitation in saying , that , to the work as it now stands , many of the objections urged by Mr . Fox remain in their full force , and that the author ' s view of the Jewish
sacrifices generally , and of the sacrifice of Christ particularly , ( if we rightly understand it , ) is unwarranted by the testimony of Scripture , when that testimony is drawn from a careful consideration and comparison of all that the Scripture says concerning it . The author of these Discourses first undertakes to explain the true nature and design of the Mosaic sacrifices . These he represents as symbolical and significant of spiritual and important truths or objects , which objects , thus declared or represented by sacrifices , were really effected only by the death of Christ He also advocates the divine origin of sacrifices , and ascribes to them a vicarious character .
