"
The alterations which took place in the system of government and the state of society , not only among the descendants of Israel but also in the surrounding nations after the introduction of the regal power , are to be the subject of a subsequent part of the work . We have perused this book with much satisfaction ; it is executed with great diligence , patience , and learning . Some of the chronological discussions , perhaps , might have been spared , since , after all , they do not lead to
certainty on this difficult and intricate subject ; but , on the whole , every thing that could tend to illustrate the manners , customs and habits of the people , their civil and political institutions , and their foreign relations ^ has been explored with exemplary industry , and with considerable talent . The style is perhaps in some instances somewhat too diffuse , but in general perspicuous and elegant . On the whole we do not hesitate to say , that it is a valuable addition to what has lately been called the literature of theology , and we anticipate with pleasure the appearance of the remaining volumes .

Art . III . —Infant Baptism , the means of National Reformation , according to the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England * By the Rev * Henry Budd . Seeley . This is a' work deserving 6 f attentive perusal both on the part of Dissenters and Churchmen . The arguments its author puts forth , if not new , are more broadly and candidly stated , and more with a view to practice , than arguments in favour of the National Church often are : and as they are
brought forward in aa attractive form , they are likely to have no little influence with the serious party in the Church to which Mr . Budd belongs . The title is unfortunately chosen ; for Mr . Budd ' s aim is to shew that something much beyond Infant Baptism is necessary to " National Reformation according to the Church of England ; " and we are convinced he Would not thank us for accepting his meagre title-page as a fair announcement of the contents of his book . ,
It is his opinion that the doctrine of Election is not only expres ^ y taught by the articles of the Church of England , but also that it may be recognized in every bart of hey services ; < for , first , it is the foundation of the baptismal serviced ^ The beKe \ fe parent is , Mr . Budd thinks , warranted by Scripture to infer that Ms child is ab heir of the promise , n e . elect , as ^ well as himself .
