sense of that word—no protestant could be more jealous of the truth 
and authenticity of sacred writ. We trust our friends among the 
clergy will read this book; they will find in it an example of candor 
and courtesy worthy of all imitation, while it is remarkable for its 
condensed learning and its fine taste. His two lectures on the natu- 
ral history of man, are profound, and profoundly interesting, as in- 
deed is the whole book as far as we have examined, although we do

The eight lectures we have not mentioned, consist of two on the

. Dr. Buckland’s New Work.—Dr. Buckland’s admirable 
Bridgewater Treatise has been republished in Philadelphia, with all 
its illustrations. Our opinion of this work was given in Vol. xxx!

saying more of it in the present number. 
26. Lyell’s Geology, 5th edition.—The 5th edition of this excel- 
lent work, with considerable additions, and many new cuts in wood, 
has recently appeared in England, and we understand that the Eng- 
lish copies are imported in Jarge numbers into this jee by some 
of our principal booksellers. 
An American edition by Is. Kay and brother, is also decid to ap- 
pear in Philadelphia, copied with all the illustrations from the fifth 
English edition. We understand that the four large English duode- 
cimo volumes will be published in two octavos, to be ready for sale 
in the month of May. Our opinion of this work is expressed in 
Vol. xxix. p. 358, of this Journal. 
27. An Introduction to Botany, by John Lindley, F. R. 8., ¢- 
§c. Second edition, with corrections and numerous additions. Lon- 
don, Longman & Co., 1835. 8vo. pp. 560.—The estimation which 
this excellent treatise so deservedly holds, is evinced by the early 
appearance of a second edition ; the important additions to which, 
indicate the rapid progress of the science of Botany during the two 
years that have intervened between the first appearance of the work 
and the publication of the present edition. It is illustrated by nu- 
merous wood engravings, and six crowded and beautifully executed 
copper-plates.
