pronouncing an impartial judgment. Some of the opinions formerly expressed by Dr. Payne are modified in the present edition of his work. This is especially the case with the subjects of attention, the nature of the emotions, the distinction between desire and volition, the liberty of the will, &c. The department of moral science has been considerably enlarged, so as to constitute substantially a new work. We shall be glad to find that, in its improved condition and diminished price, it obtains the extensive circulation to which it is well entitled.

The Life and Labours of Adam Clarke, LL.D. 8vo.
Edition. London: Longman and Co.

Second

This edition differs from its predecessor in several respects. Some portions of the volume have been retrenched, and corresponding additions, deemed more appropriate and useful, have been substituted. It is less controversial and at the same time more full and complete in all matters adapted to illustrate either the character or the history of Dr. Clarke.

Plain Sermons on the Church Ministry and Sacraments. By the Rev. Cyril Hutchinson, M.A., Student of Christ Church. London: Cleaver, Baker-street.

These sermons are a precious sample of Oxford and Church of England divinity. Our readers will be contented, or rather disgusted, with the following specimen-it is on Regeneration. After perverting and grossly misrepresenting the views of the evangelical reformers, both ancient and modern, on this fundamental doctrine of Christianity, and adopting without the least reserve, and in their literal sense, the prayers and statements in the office of baptism, Mr. Hutchinson asks his hearers-Can you now doubt what is the doctrine of the church in regard to regeneration, to being born again, to the new birth, the new creature?' and he then proceeds :

In the reception service of Infants at the church, after they have been privately baptized at home, there is no prayer whatever for regeneration; but, on the contrary, a declaration that this child is by baptism regenerate.' And previously, also, the minister prays, not that the child may be born again,' as in the former case, but that being born again'-being already by baptism- he may continue thy servant.'

"Can you now doubt? Those persons, therefore, who profess themselves members of the church of England, and denude baptism of the work of regeneration, certainly never got their doctrine from the church, nor sound churchmen, but from the dissenting chapel, the dissenting book, or the dissent of their own mind; and should not accuse us of not knowing the tenets of our own church, in teaching as we do. We are, at least, masters in our own Israel in this thing.' Yes, and they are just such masters as Nicodemus was, in regard to their ignorance of the Scriptures and the doctrine of Christ. That they are true churchmen, consistent churchmen, we are not disposed to

Is

deny. How lamentable that a protestant church should be at variance
with Christ and his apostles! Mr. Hutchinson is a churchman.
he a Christian? He has been regenerated by baptism; but so, ac-
cording to his theory, have been many others whose hearts were
estranged from God. Oh, this baptismal curse! when shall it cease to
destroy the souls of men!

Letters from Italy to a Younger Sister. By Catherine Taylor. In two volumes. Vol. II. London: John Murray.

Miss Taylor has concluded her lucubrations in Italy, and has added a delightful second volume to her first. By both she has earned honourable distinction among the female writers of the day. Her Letters not merely convey, in a very pleasing and elegant style, her own observations on the scenes through which she passed, but she informs us that many of the notes and translations have been contributed by her brother; and that she has to acknowledge the kind assistance of her aunt, Mrs. Austin, whose encouragement in the prosecution of her task is a privilege of which she cannot well estimate the value.

The Moral Influence, Dangers, and Duties connected with Great
Cities. By John Todd. London: Ward and Co.

This little work,' the author tells us, is sent into the world with the warm wish that it may convey hints and make impressions which will be useful upon three classes of the great community-viz., those who reside in great cities,-those who are about to come into the great city, and those who have sent, or who are about to send, children and friends to reside in the great city.' In this warm wish we heartily concur.

The Mother with her Family: being Scriptural Exercises and Prayers for Children, every Sunday Evening. By the Rev. T. Timpson, author of the Companion to the Bible,' The Key to the Bible,' &c. &c.; with Counsels to Mothers in teaching religion to their Children. By Mrs. Hannah More. London: John Snow.

While we have such indefatigable compilers of books as the Rev. T. Timpson, machinery may be considered to be in abeyance. A steam engine might do the work faster, and perhaps as well; at present, however, the supply is quite equal to the demand. We cannot find fault with the materials Mr. Timpson transfers to his pages, nor with the tendency of the books when they are made up; but we would gently hint to him, and to a few brothers of the trade, that we want workmen, while we could dispense with many of our labourers. The Mother with her Family' is an excellent title-a taking title; but where are they?-not in this dry, didactic book of common-place.

Recollections of the Lakes, and other Poems. By the Author of 'The Moral of Flowers,' and 'The Spirit of the Woods.'

We really take to ourselves shame that these 'Recollections' have so long escaped our memory. They were read months ago, and laid on our table for early notice; but in their modest gentleness they shrunk before works of larger pretension and perhaps of inferior excellence, and were forgotten till we opened the volume and felt ourselves reproached by the title-page. The fair author is a true poet, and we can well believe her when we consider the principles which are blended with her poetical temperament that 'poetry has been to her its own exceeding great reward;' that it has soothed her afflictions, multiplied and refined her enjoyments; endeared solitude, and given her the habit of wishing to discover the good and the beautiful in all that meets and surrounds her.' In the perusal of these Poems we can promise our readers pure and exquisite delight, especially those who are happily imbued with the genuine spirit of piety.

Valdenses, Valdo, and Vigilantius; being the articles under these heads in the seventh edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. By the Rev. W. S. Gilly, D.D., author of Waldensian Researches.' Edinburgh Adam and Charles Black.

A valuable reprint, in a portable form. Dr. Gilly is so well known in this department of our ecclesiastical literature, that we need only announce that these articles are the production of his pen, to ensure their favourable reception by the public.

Sermons preached in the Lower Meeting-house, Kingsbridge. By James Philip Hewlett. London: Ward and Co.

These are excellent sermons; whether we consider the importance of the subjects they exhibit, the style of their composition, their rich evangelical sentiment, their tone of piety, or the spirit of earnest solicitude which they breathe for the salvation of those to whom they were addressed.
