verfes is removed from the general appear- 
ance, yet, by being ciftinguifhed in {mall 
figures withn the lines, like the ufual 
marks of reference to notes, the divilion is 
fufficiently-preferved for every ufcful pur- 
ofe. The chapters are alfo pointed out 
with fufficient diftinstion, to be found al- 
ways without trouble; but they do not 
ftand as principal divifions of the texr, 
except where they happen to coincide 
with the chronological divifion of the hif- 
tory or the rational divifion of the fubject. 
As a further guide and affiftance to the 
yeader, the pre(ent editor has inferted 
marginal intimations of the fubject, ran- 
ning titles, and chronological marks, 
with principal divifions into fections, fur- 
nithed with a general argument to each. 
At the bottom of the page ftand the li- 
teral renderings from the Hebrew, the 
fame which are inferted in the margins of 
our large Bibles; and, at the end of each 
volume, or collected in one volume, if 
the owner fhould prefer it, are fhort ex- 
planatory notes, compiled from the beft 
authorities. 
<¢ Religion without Cant; or, a Prefer- 
vative againft Lukewarmnefs and Intole- 
tance, Fanaticifm, Superftition, and Im- 
piety.” By Robert Feilowes. We are 
glad to fee this Divine, of whom Dr. 
Parr drew fo amiable, and we dotibt not 
fo juft a character, ina note to his Spital 
Sermon, endeavouring to. arreft the pro- 
grefs of fanaticifm. This work is written 
with a great deal of earneftnefs and elo- 
quence ; it abounds with the moft liberal 
fentiments, has for one of its objeéts the 
conciliation of difagrecing Chriftians, and 
as altogether fuch a work as we fad a 
right to expe from tive author of the 
PiGure of Chriltian Philofophy. 
«¢ Elements of the Philofophy of the 
Mind, and of- Meral Philofophy; to 
which is prefixed, a Compendium of Logic, 
by Thomas Belfham.”’ This work is en- 
titled to the greateft refpect : it is what an 
elementary work thould be, diftinct in 1's 
definitions, and lucid in its arrangements. 
Jt contains the fubflance of a courfe of 
jJe€tures which the author delivered to 
his pupils. He avows his fole end to 
Ihave been the mveftigation aud diffufion 
of ufeful truth; and his defire not to in- 
finence his pupils to adopt his own epi- 
nions, but to excite in them a fpirit of 
enquiry, and to encourage them to think 
and to judge for themfelves. ‘* With 
this view, (he continues,) in all difput- 
able queftions, he has endeavoured to 
tate the evidence, on both fides, with 
fairnefs and impartiality, and has in no 
Retrofpec? of Domeftic Literature.— Theology, és, 
cafe intentionally"omitted or miftated any 
arguments which have been produced in 
favour of hypothefes, which appear to him 
to be erroneous. Neverthelefs, while he 
was folicitous to do juftice to the opinions 
of others, he did not regard himfelf as 
under any obligation to conceal his own.” 
Any one who takes up Mr. Belfham’s 
Elements of the Philofophy of the Mind, 
will perceive that the author could have 
no other view than thofe which he pro- 
feffes in the publication of it: antagonift 
argumen's are always ftated with the ut- 
moft fairnefs and impartiality, and Mr. B. 
cannot be deteéted in one unhand{ome 
hint, or illiberal infinuation, againft thofe 
from whom he differs in opinion. | 
‘¢ The Principles of Morality, b 
Georce Ensor, Efq.” This is avery 
confufed and indigetted work: Mr. Enfor, 
or whatever is the author’s real name, is 
a man of reading, but of little judgment. 
*¢ Evidences of Scepticifms’ would have 
been a more appropriate title to this. vo- 
lume, than the “ Principies of Morality.” 
Mr. Tuomas Taytor has tranflated 
from the Greek, ‘* The Metaphyfics of 
Ariftotle.”” It cannot be faid of this 
learned and laborious Grecian, that he 
feeks to corrupt the tafte or weaken the 
intellectual vigour of the prefent gene- 
ration, by offering thofe feduétive and vi- 
tiating ftimulants which are fometimes 
fet betore it. This tranflation is accom- 
panied with copious notes, in which the 
Pythagoric and Platonic dogmas, refpeét- 
ing numbers and ideas, are unfolded 
from ancient fources: but really, we fear, 
that fhould fome devoted Thefeus entangle 
himfelf in the metaphyfical Jabvrinth of 
Avriftotle, Mr. Taylor, with all his abi- 
lity and good withes, could fearcely per- 
form the office of Ariadne to him. An 
original traét, by the tranflator, is fub- 
joined to this work: itis a * Differtation 
on Nullities and Diverging Series; in 
which the Conclufions of the greateft mo- 
dern Mathematicians on this Subjeét are 
Jhewn to be erroneous, the Nature of infi- 
nitely {maJ] Quantities is explained, and 
the ro <, or the One, of the Pythagoreans 
and Platonifts, fo often alluded to by 
Ariftotle, in this Work, is elucidated.”*
