" Much credit is due to the editor, the Rev. 

 J. Stevenson, for his careful criticism and 

 translation of these interesting historical mo- 

 numents. But still more are we pleased to 

 find his prefaces and notes free from anything 

 like prejudice or party spirit. ' It is not in- 

 tended,' says the prospectus, 'to give the 

 opinions of any particular school or period. 

 Each writer will be selected, not with any 

 reference to his theological opinions, but sim- 

 ply as a chronicler of the ecclesiastical events 

 of his own day.' In other words, the editor 

 desires to teach not his own or his friends' 

 opinions, but the truth ; to place facts before 

 people, that they may be able to argue calmly 

 and to judge sensibly. And in this we wish 

 him God speed." — The Ecclesiastic, June.
