the argument on grounds with winch they are familiar , and refers to authorities which they respect . It recommends itself to all by the clearness and calmness of the manner , as well as by the importance of the matter . And it has this claim to attention , that something like priestly influence ( for such there is even in all the independence of dissent ) has been exercised , in order to consign it to a premature and unmerited oblivion *

A Chapter from Eiehorn . The translator appropriately terms this version of the portion of Eichorn ' 8 * Introduction to the New Testament * which relates to the use of the phrases the WvrA and the Holy Spirit in St . John ' s gospel , a' shaft sunk into a mine of boundless erudition / Let him sink another
and another ; for every such effort must tend to raise the character of English theology out of the abyss of mental vulgarity and sectarian dogmatism in which it now rests . Whether convinced or not , the learning and philosophy of these speculations will cause them to be read with interest

Minor Morals . For Young People . By John Bowring . This pretty , pleasant , and profitable little book , is a pendant to the ' Deontology' of Jeremy Bentbam . It attempts to do that for children which the larger work does for men . And this is what the reader must understand by the word * Minor' in the title . For though intended for minors , they are really the major morals which are here illustrated and recommended . The tales , of which some are personal , some historical ,
and one or two imaginative , are generally well adapted to catch the attention , interest the feelings , and excite the intellects of children . There is a beautiful fable , of the latter class , in the section on ' advice giving . The graphic illustrations are excellent for their purpose . We rejoice to see the great principle of utility , thus carried out into its practical bearings , brought home to the understandings of the young ,
and exhibited through the medium not only of simple language , but of philanthropic and poetical feeling . We hope the author will pursue his task as he purposes . If in some few of his views or applications of the greatest happiness theory , as a moral principle , we do not entirely concur , it is onl y because , as we may shortly have occasion to show , we entertain a like demur to the results of the investigations of the great master himself .

Sketches of Natural Htitory . By Mary Howitt . Turn a child into the fields among the flowers , or give him this little book of Mary HowiU ' s , and it almost cornea to the same thine . The writer is one of the true scene painters in nature ' s theatre , and here we look veluti in speculum . If great nature be the common mother of
cQildhood , Mary Howitt must be one of the most confidential nurses whom she entrusts to lead her charge abroad . The book , like the utadows , is all simple , fresh , melodious , and beautiful . Its getting up ftaembles the matchlesa 4 Story without an end ; * and though not so rich as that in \ Hggmtive enjoyment * its claims are complete to rank in
