THEOLOGY .
Art . I . — The Theological and Miscellaneous fVorks of Dr Priestley \ with Notes by the Editor . Vol . XXV . and last . We congratulate Mr . Rutt on having carried through the press this first and complete collection of Dr . Priestley ' s Theological and Miscellaneous Works . The Memoirs are iti the press , and with their publication the edition will be complete . The Editor must look with satisfaction on the monument which he has
reared to the memory of his friend , the friend of truth and of mankind ; and in that satisfaction he will find a proud recompence for his long and arduous labours . In the ordinary sense of the term recompence , those labours must remain ill requited , or rather unrequited ;
for the small number of copies printed , and the failure , voluntary or unavoidable , of many subscribers to complete their sets , while they will enhance the pecuniary value of this edition to its possessors , must do so at the expense of that fair remuneration which should have
resulted to the Editor . We shall always remember with regret that he was not more liberally encouraged ; that he was left unpatronized to accomplish such a work ; but we shall always rejoice that , unpatronized , he did accomplish it . We anticipate , as all who know Mr . Rutt must , a valuable and interesting work in the Life , which may be expected
speedily . The present volume contains copious Indexes , lo the Works , of Subjects , Names , and Texts , compiled by an experienced and trustworthy hand , and perfected by the attentions of the Editor . They are so constructed as to assist in ascertaining " the accuracy of quotations , by various writers , especially the controversial , from the pages of Dr . Priestley ' s
own editions . " This is a gratuitous service for which every writer and reader of theological controversy must feel himself obliged to the Editor . The volume is dedicated to William Smith , Esq . * whose name has an additiou ( late M . P . ) which ought to pain the eyes and grieve the heart of all interested in the city of Norwich or the cause of Dissent . The dedication is a touching memorial , by one

Art . II . — TJie New Testament in the Common Version conformed to Griesbach ' s Standard Greek Text . 12 mo . Third edition . Boston , U . S . 1830 . A Harmony of the Gospels , on the Plan proposed by Lant Carpenter , LL . D . Boston , U . S . 1831 . For both these publications we understand that we are indebted to the able , diligent , and accurate Editorship of the Rev . J . G . Palfrey . The first of them appears to be making its way in America ,
as it deserves ; and it ought immediately and universally to supersede the common edition . The Editor , it should be understood , leaves mistranslations as they are . He only corrects the version where Griesbach has corrected the text . He brings the English reader so far * and no further , nearer to the pure word of God as it came from Apostles and Evangelists .
And so far , the firmest believers in the infallibility of King James ' s translators , as translators , ought to go with him gladly . We wish they may . The Harmony pursues a similar course as to translation . It follows the arrangement given in the last edition of that very useful little book , the " Introduction to the Geography of the New Testament . "
Another edition may probably be improved by attention to the series of articles which have appeared in our pages during the last few months , and which are still continued , on the Chronology and Arrangement of the Gospel Narratives . Both were intended to promote the usefulness of expository lectures which the Editor was delivering , and are well adapted for that purpose .
