TAYLOR.-WESLEY AND METHODISM.

By ISAAC TAYLOR, Author of "Natural History of Enthusiasm," &c. With a Portrait of Wesley, engraved by W. Greatbach. Post 8vo. Hal -a-Guinea, cloth.

"This volume will be acceptable to the public on many grounds. It will please the religious by its respect for religion and the literary by the force of its style. It will not displease the Churchman by any violence of view, nor the Sectary by any bitterness of language. On the whole, it will perhaps be most welcomed by the philosopher, for its attempt to reconcile apparent anomalies of belief, to account for perplexing events in the history of religion, and to give something in the shape of system to the general effects of religious action on the world..... We presume that this volume will be in the hands of more than the Methodists. It deserves a place on the library table of every man, who is to be attracted by strong thoughts in strong language, curious metaphysics, and a stately view of religious probabilities to come." BRITANNIA.

ZINCKE.-SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF THE FUTURE; Or, a Sketch of the Solution which Time appears to be preparing for the different Educational Questions of the Day. By the Rev. FOSTER Barham ZinckE, Vicar of Wherstead, near Ipswich. Post 8vo. 78. cloth.

"Mr. Zincke has, in the compass of a few pages, supplied us with a large amount of most valuable matter, and sup ported his arguments by a variety of appropriate and cogent illustrations..... We hail him as a powerful advocate of a great and good cause, and cordially recommend this small volume to the attention of all persons who take an interest in the question to which it relates..... We entertain so high an opinion of the value of Mr. Zincke's remarks, that we should be glad if we could spare sufficient space for a full analysis both of his arguments and his plans; but, as we cannot do this, we must content ourselves with giving a general summary of the contents of the volume, and a quotation or two illustrative of the extensive and practical views embraced by the author..... His views are on the whole just, liberal, and comprehensive, and he has the great merit of saying much in few words. We have, indeed, seldom met with so much important matter condensed into so small a space. Almost every topic that the consideration of such a question includes is touched upon by the author, and yet the whole volume contains only 236 pages, and of this number 76 are occupied by an appendix, which is by no means the least interesting or important part of the work." CHRISTIAN TIMES.
