that they are few. The indefatigable Dr. 
Prieftley has publifhed a fecond volume of 
*“ Difcourfes relating to the Evidences of 
Revealed Religion, delivered in Pailadel- 
phia,” in which the general charatter of 
Jefas Chri is fully confidered, the mora- 
lity which he taught, and his maoner of 
teaching it. A comparifon is inftituted 
berween the doétrine of Chriftianity and — 
thofe of Paganifm and Mahometanifm : 
the doétur indulges himfelf in fome cu- 
rious but vifionary conjeétures on the 
mode of future exiftence. Some readers 
may pofitbly {mile at the arguments with — 
which he repels an objeétion to the doc- 
trine ** of univerfal refurreétion, and of 
all who fhall be railed from the dead, 
living again upon this earth,” arifing from 
the idea of difficulty in gaining fubfittence ; 
aud a farther objection to fome being raifed 
at the commencement of the millenium 
while the reft:fhall remain as at prefenr, 
arifing from a difficulty of conceiving how 
mortals and immortals can live on the 
fame {pot without interfering with each 
other—fome may poflibiv {mile to hear. 
Dr. Priettley obviating thefe objections by a 
confideration of the prefent condition of 
Chrift, Enoch, Mofes, and Elijah, ** who,” 
fays he, ‘€ are now living, it cannot well 
be doubted, upon this earth, though we 
have no knowledge where they are, or in 
what manner they fubfit, and though 
we perceive nothing of their interference 
in the affairs of living men.*. Ina {mall 
duodecimo pamphlet, Dr. Prieftley has 
fketched a very accurate ‘¢ Outline of the 
Evidences of Revealed Religion :’’ he has 
alfo, in adifcourfe delivered at the Univer- 
ficy-hall, in Philadelphia, recommended 
The Cafe of Poor Emigrants.” This 
difcourfe is well worthy af its author, for 
it breathes the pureft philanthropy and 
benevolence. Some letters have paffed in 
public, between M. Volney and Dr, Prieft- 
Jey, originating in an “ Anfwer” of 
the former gentleman to the latter’s 
*¢ Obfervations on the Increafe of Infide- 
lity." Mr. Wilfon’s ‘ Illuftration of the 
Method of explaining the New Tettament 
by the early Opinions of Jews and Chrif- 
tians concerning Chrift,” is a work of in- 
genious argument and deep erudirion: it 
is intended as a refutation of the argu- 
ments adduced by Dr. Prieftley and other 
learned theologians in favour of Unira- 
rianifm, drawn from the opinions of early 
Chriftians : the prefent author appears in 
the charaéter of a controverfialift, but he 
writes with all the candour and urbanity 
of a gentleman. Mr, Collier’s  Hiftori-

city which a correét tafte requires. A 
fecond volume of Mr. Clowes’s myttical 
and incomprehenfibte “ Sermons,” has 
made its appearance in public. A very 
fenfible, threwd, and competent editor, 
is republifhing, at Mr. C. Taylor’s, in 
monthly numbers, ** Calmet’s Great Dic- 
tionary of the Holy Bible ;* tq this fund, 
already vaft, of learning and refearch, the 
editor has made many valuable additions, 
under the title of “* Fragments,” which, 
as well as being inftrudtive, are extremely 
entertaining; they are extracted from 
Oriental writers and travellers of reputed 
authenticity and merit. The learned Dr, 
Samuel Glaffe has publifhed “« A Courfe 
of Leétures wn the Holy Feftivals.” He 
jufily obferves, that they are in a great 
degree fallen into negleét, and the objeét 
of the prefent performance is to ftimulate 
to a more devout and folemn obfervance of 
them. “The dattor’s orthodoxy appears 
To deny the divinity 
of Chrift is a crime which the reverend

From the eager credulity which he difplavs 
in narrating a {tring of traditions, fome of

he fhould confider as prefal e, thofe whofe 
belief is nor quite fo comprekenfive as his 
own. It fhould be mentioned, however, 
to the credit of Dr. Glaffe, that he is 
chargeable with an amiable inconfiftency, 
in deprecating contention and animofity 
between perfons who differ in ‘their re 
ligious opinions, Mr. Bicheno, on “ The 
probable Provrefs ahd lffue of the Com- 
motions which have agitated Europe. ince 
the French Revolution,” though he at- 
tempts to interpret the myfterious book of 
Revelation, betrays no fymptoms of that 
infanity which of late has diftinguifhed 
the effufions cf our unfortunate prophets.

a pamphlet entitled ** Socinianifm Inde-

illiberality, not very favourable to the caufe 
which he maintains. Dr. J. Watkin’s 
“* Word of gentle Admonition t Mr.

rough a voice, that it cannot poffibiy be his
