and critical analysis. Some of the views may be thought fanciful, but it will be considered a valuable addition to our philological apparatus. "The World of Mind: an Elementary Book. By Isaac Taylor, author of "Wesley and Methodism."" New York: Harper and Brothers, Publishers, Franklin Square. 1858. pp. 377, 12 mo. Those who have studied Isaac Taylor's “Elements of Thought," will be interested in the present sequel to that suggestive volume.

"Evil not from God; or The Mystery: being an Inquiry into the Origin of Evil. By John Young, LL. D., Edinburgh." New York: Mason, Brothers, 108 and 110 Duane Street. 1858. pp. 343, 12mo. Dr. Young is the author of a work which has already gained celebrity among us, "The Christ of History." He is a learned and vigorous writer.

"Rational Cosmology or the Eternal Principles and the Necessary Laws of the Universe. By Laurens P. Hickok, D. D., Union College." New York: D. Appleton and Company, 316 and 348 Broadway. London: 16 Little Britain. 1858. pp. 397. 8vo. We intend to notice this volume in a subsequent Number.

ENGLAND.

Messrs. T. & J. Clark, Edinburgh, have now published the second and the fourth volumes of the "Gnomon of the New Testament, by John Albert Bengel; now first translated into English; with Original Notes, explanatory and illustrative, revised and edited by Rev. Andrew R. Fausset, M. A., of Trinity college, Dublin." pp. 732 and 502, 8vo. The second volume contains the Commentary on the Gospels of Luke and John, and on the Acts of the Apostles. The fourth volume contains the Commentary on the Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, I. and II. Thessalonians, I. and II. Timothy, Titus, Philemon, and Hebrews. The first and third volumes of this Commentary we noticed in a previous Number of this Review. The whole work is one of rare interest and value; seldom equalled in definiteness and precision of statement, breadth and comprehensiveness of view.

The same enterprising House have also added the seventh and eighth volumes, to the preceding six volumes, of "The Words of the Lord Jesus, by Rudolf Stier, Doctor of Theology, Chief Pastor and Superintendent of Schkeuditz. Translated from the second revised and enlarged German edition, by the Rev. William B. Pope, Hull." pp. 500, 468, 8vo. These volumes complete the work. The whole Commentary evinces wide research, and abounds with impressive thoughts. It is an important aid in interpreting some of the most difficult, as well as the most affecting, passages of the Sacred History.

Baptism, a consecratory rite, article
on, by Rev. I. E. Dwinell, 54;
different views of baptism, by dif-
ferent writers, 54; writers on the
subject, not always consistent with
themselves, 55; the nature and
import of the rite, not sufficiently
attended to, 55; two leading theo-
ries of the import of baptism, 56;
the rite, consecratory and not dis-
tinctively a purifying rite, 56;
proof of this, found in the language
of the New Testament on the sub-
ject, 56; cis Tò ovoua points to the
end or object of the rite, 57;
proof, drawn from the word used
to denote baptism, in the Peschito
version and by Syrian Christians,
59; the theory of consecration best
preserves the unity of the rite, 61;
this theory best explains the origin
of different baptisms, 63; baptism,
an emblem of purification as well
as consecration, 64; mode in which
the idea of purification is con-
nected with that of consecration,65;
the subjects of baptism, 68; the
theory of purification, at war with

the doctrine of pædobaptism, 68;
universal consecration required of
Christians, 69; the family, a social
unit, 70; the head of the family

of baptism, 76.

Baptism, a symbol of the commence-
ment of the new life, article on, by

an appropriate celebration, 745;
baptism, designed to symbolize the
commencement of the new life,
745; the history of baptism before
Christ, in accordance with this
idea, 746; Christ made no change
in the import of the rite, 746;
John's baptism, substantially of the
same import, 746; the same import
illustrated in the formula of bap-
tism, 747; this view confirmed by
regarding baptism as a symbol of
purification, 748; the analogy be
tween the deluge and the rite of
baptism, 749; baptism unto Moses
in the cloud and in the sea, 750;
the analogy between baptism and
the death, burial, and resurrec-
tion of Christ, 751; harmony be-
tween the theory of initiation and

narrower, 805; the mind and its

price over law and law under ca-
price, 807; at an early period,
originality a help to acceptance;
afterwards, an impediment, 807;

then a help, when united with
strong power, 808; one great
work sometimes sinks and some-
times buoys up the weaker works
of an author, 808; the best works
produced, when criticism is un-
known, 809; our estimate of a
writer's originality, often a decep
tion, 809; the temporary popular-
ity of some writers, 810; some au-
thors, killed by the first blow of
criticism, 810; after a general
acceptance, a great change in the
progress of an author's reputation,
811; case of Hervey's Meditations,
811; the best poets, not always
most read, 812; the fate of the bal-
lad poetry of almost all languages,

ligious character of an author's
theme as related to his popularity,
814; some authors have numerous
imitators, 814; our admiration aids
nature in the rating of literary ex-
cellence, 815; languages all tend
to a certain permanent stand-point
short of perfection, 815; we are
much under the influence of tradi-
tionary criticism, 816; rule, by
which to ascertain the existence of
this influence, 817; the frame-
work of language, early fixed, 820;
inferences reasons why books
mentioned in the Scriptures are
lost, 821; religion has a powerful
influence over taste, 821; these
laws of literature expose some su-
perficial and deceptive canons, 823;
a topic of triumph and comfort
alike to successful and to unsuc-
cessful authors, 824.

means Jehovah our justifier, 130;
this interpretation, in harmony
