" Imaginative and copious eloquence, terse and 
pointed sentences, full of piety and devotion. Few 
writers so useful to divinity students. Let them 
thoroughly read and digest him, and they mill be 
*'urnished for ^nost of the calls upon them." 
Bickerstetk. 
" During this period, two men of genius, contri- 
buted by the spirit and energy of their discourses, to 
maintain the credit ot the orthodox pulpit — these were 
Hall and Taylor : the former gifted with all the in- 
spiration of poetry, and all the severity of a chastised 
judgment ; in his style, quajnt, rather than pedantic ; 
in his sense, clear, manly, and original." 
Quarterly Revieiv, vol. xiv. pp. 248, 249.

" Whoever rvisheg to see the English language in 
its perfection must read the writings of that great 
Bimne, Hobert Hall. Be combine the beauties of 
Johnson, Addison, and Burke, jvithout their im- 1 
perfections."— DvaAi^D Stewart. 
" I cannot do better than refer the academic reader 
to the immortal n-orks of liobert Hall. For moral 
grandeur, for Christian truth, and for sublimity, we 
may doubt whether they have their match in the 
sacred oratory of any age or country."— Prof. Sedg- 
wick {in his Discourse on the Studies of the Uni- 
versity.) 
" The Ser'7nons and. Discourses of Robert Hall 
are nonderful comxiositions." 
" The bold diction, the majestic gait of the sen- 
tence, the vivid illustration, the rebulce which could 
scathe the offender, the burst of honest indignation at 
triumphant vice, the biting sarciism, the fervid appeal 
to tin; heart, the sagacious dcvelopoment of principle, 
the broad Held of moral vision— all these distinguisli 
the compositions of liobert Hall, and we bear our most 
willing testimony to their worth."— Quarterly Jievieic. 
" In the Eloquence of the pvlpit, Itnbert Hull 
comes nearer Massillun than either Cicero or JEa- 
chincs-to Demosthenes."— hoHV Bbotjgham. 
" His wind is little to be envied, if from, the 
perusal of Itohcrt Hall, he do not find himself a 
more accomplished, a wiser, and a better man." 
Church of England Quarterly Bcciew. 
" Mr. Hall, like Bp. Taylor, ' has the eloquence 
of an orator, the fancy of a poet, the acutenesx of a 
schoolman, the profoundness of % philosopher, and 
the piety of a saint.' "-Va-rv. (Sptial .Sermon.) 
" The excellence of Mr. Hall docs not consist in the 
predominance of one of his powers, but in the ex- 
quisite proportion and liarmony of all. The richness, 
variety, and extent of his knowledge, are not less re- 
markable than his absolute mastery over it. His style 
it one of the clearest and simplest— the least en- 
cumbered n-ilh its onm beauty— of any which ever 
has been written."— CuAS. Lamb, LontLon Magazine. 
" The name of Robert Hall will be placed by pos- 
terity milling the best writers of the age, as well as 
t 'le iii'Ltt rigorous defenders of Religious truth, and 
the brightest examples of Christian charity."

TRINE OF THE DELUGE, 2 vols. »vo. 
extra cloth boards, (pub. at £l. 16s) reduced 
to 10s 6(2 Longman, 1838 
" The object of this very learned, pious, and inte- 
resting work is to pursue the traditional memorials of 
the ark through the pages of pagan mythology. Those 
who have not bent their studies that way, are not aware 
what a mass of evidence is to be collected from the 
most unsuspected sources in corroboration of the 
Mosaic Deluge. We consider Mr. Harcaurt's re- 
searches as most valuable, totally apart from all con- 
siderations of philosophy. To tho.se who have a taste 
for such learned inquiries as have immortalized the 
venerable name of Jacob Bryant above all modem 
scholars in this department of antiquity, we recom- 
mend a perusal of Mr. Harcourt's book, in which they 
will see much additional light thrown on many of the 
subjects discussed, from information inaccessible to 
Bryant — the produce of later studies and inquiries. 
Nor can we omit to mentien, with great satisfaction, 
an Historical Treatise on Baptismal Regeneration, 
which closes the second volume, and which we should 
like to see separately published." — Gent.'s Mag.

" Bishop Hopkins's "Works form of themselves a 
•ound body of divinity. He is clear, vehement, and 
persuasive."— Bickerstetfi. 
" The merits of Bishop Hopkins are well tnown to 
Theologians, although perhaps not so universally as 
might be wished. AVe have often heard of tlie supe- 
riority of the theology of our older authors to that of 
our more modern Divines ; and certainly never have 
we seen the superiority more strikingly shewn than in 
the works of Hopkins. Whatever be the nature of the 
subject on which lie treats, his hand is instantly seen 
to be that of a master : throughout we find a strength 
o/ thought an originality of 'illustration, a force and 
I felicity of style, a homely raeincss of expression, 
I which command jperpetual attention. There do not 
exist manuals of fjhristian duty more searching in 
tlieir knowledge of the human heart, more compre- 
hensive in their application to all the situations and 
contingencies of life, than his ' Exposition of the Ten 
Commandments,' and the ' Exposition of the Loi-d's 
Prayer.' These taken in connection with his other 
works, form in themselves a body of Divinity, the jios- 
session of which alone would enrich the library of a 
household." — The Wit/icss.
