    far the proper administration of this great public trust ? Already the ministerial journals are paving the way for some petty sectarian compromise , by taking advantage of the numerical order of the topics in thi 3 pamphlet , and representing registration as the first and foremost claim of the Dissenters . Let them not submit

    to employ their great strength only in such a petty contest . Let them fight the people ' s battle for knowledge . Let the claim which they put foremost , be the common claim for common good . Then will they indeed occupy a proud position . And let not the rest of the community leave this vital question solely in their hands . Let them not dream that a few regulations about patronage and pluralities can make the ecclesiastical monopoly other than what it is , —the most formidable barrier to freedom and

    improvement . Let them conceive the immense advantage to the people of the unexpensive establishment of such a system of universal education as that of Prussia . Let the prayer of all petitioners , whether Churchmen or Dissenters , or those who have enlisted under no sectarian banner , be , that from the beneficence

    of our ancestors the bread of mental life may be freely supplied to the present and all future generations . Justly does the author remind Government that ' the opportunity is equalled by the responsibility . ' Let the Dissenters , and the nation at large , heed the admonition .

    A regular review of this beautiful book is beyond our power . We are fairly in love with it ; and how then can one treat it syllogistically or mechanically ? Did ever sculptor try to model with mathematical exactness the features of her he loved , and in the very gush of his affection stick the point of his compasses in her nose to measure the elevation of her forehead ? c A question not to be asked , ' as Sir John says ; and therefore there is no question as to our reviewing this book secundum artem , seeing that we can onlv sneak of it con amove .

    A child ' s book , indeed ! We will see all the children in Christendom six feet high , and bearded , the male ones , at least , before we will give up our right and title in it . We would sooner throw it into chancery , where if , like other contested property , it remain to eternity , or be absorbed by the lawyers , all the better ; the court will never be so well reformed by Lord Brougham and Vaux . Dearly as we love children , such a ¦ monopoly would rouse our gall . s I can ' t see , ' said Rowland Hill , ' why the devil should have all the pretty tunes ; ' and umlevilish as they naturally are , Translated from the German , by Saiah Austin , Illustrated by W . Harvey , Ksq WiUon , L 334 .
