NEW BOOKS PUBLISHED IN APRIL : 



WITH AN HISTWBICAL AND CRITICAL PROEMIUM. 



Authors or Publishers, desirotis of seeing an early notice of their Works, are 

 requested to trammit copies before tlie 18<A of the Month. 



A LARGE volume of Scrmont, delivered 

 at Satters' Hull, by the Jate Rev. 

 Hugh Worthington, has apjx'ared. Of 

 such works, it is seldom that * reviewer 

 can point out any peculiar chajjacteristic ; 

 and we are happy in the present instance 

 to find an exception from t'lie general 

 rule. Those sermon?, tliirty-irine in uuni- 

 btr, were taken from meujoi-|- ; aud they 



evince, at the same time, the benevolent 

 piety of the preacher, and the good taste 

 of the lady from whose pen they were 

 committed to the press. The sentiments 

 are liberal, and the language always cor- 

 rect, often elegant. Whoever will read 

 the first Sermon (on Religious Prejudices,) 

 will be convinced of the tiuth of onr re- 

 mark*;— " With respect to opinions or 

 seutiuients,"
