« We would earnestly recommend this treatise as a work distingnished by clear, masterly, and convincing argument; by unaffected and powerful eloquence; by its suitableness to the capacities of all who are in the habits of inquiry and reflection upon religious subjects, and its adaptation to cherish and increase those babits; and lastly, by the strong impressions of piety to God, and benevolence to man, which the attentive perusal of it must make upon every susceptible heart." -Monthly Repository, for August, 1816.

* If popularity be any criterion of excellence, the number of the editions this work has passed through sufficiently attest its merits, for before his death the author had the satisfaetion of knowing that one hundred thousand copies had issued froin the press. In the present edition every article has been carefully i evised, and valuable communications from many of the leading minisiers of the different sects have been made use of. The subject is one of paramount in. terest, and the view here exhibited of the various sects of Christians is no less admirable for its in partiality, than for the comprehensive information it supplies.

SCRIPTURE DIFFICULTIES: TWENTY DISCOURSES preached

“This is indeed a valuable performance, and ought to find a place in the libraries not only of professed theologians, but of all those who have the misfortune to feel perplexed by the difficul. ties of Scripture. Those in the book of Genesis, as far as they are of an historical nature, are elucidated in a manner both perspicuons and satisfactory, while the reader's heart will be warmed by the piety that mingles in the discussion."- British Critic, October, 1823.

"The proofs and the duties of Christianity bave been cüforced by Mr. Benson with a power, an earnestness, and an unction, wbich they who heard the preacher will be thankful for wbile they live; and which, in the perusal, must to every bealthful mind communicate satisfaction, profil. and delight; and may carry healing and comfort to the diseased one."- Quarterly Rev, No. 56.

SERMONS, EXPLANATORY AND PRACTICAL, ON

THE THIRTY-NINE ARTICLES OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND; In a Series of Discourses delivered at the Parish Church of St. Alphage, Greenwich. By the Rev. T. Waite, D.C.L. Chaplain to H. R. H. the Duke of Gloucester; and to the Hon. and Right Reveread the Bishop of Oxford ; and Master of the Grammar School, Leu isham Hill, la a thick 8vo, volume. 16s. boards

"In this class of pulpit compositions, the Sermons of Dr. Waite are worthy of an bonourable situation, They have, indeed, nothing of the vast and tumultuous eloquence of Chalmers-they have less minnte and controversial learning than Horsley-and not such finished and musical elegance as Allison or Massillon; but they are full of good sense and good feelins; al once spirited, candid, and pious; and instinct as it were with the life blood of Christianity. As to the body of doctrine which they expound anl vindicate, there are, and must be, innumerable differences of opinion. There can, however, we think, be no doubt of the fairness, the ability, and the learning, with which the author has discussed it. His style is singularly correct, and idiomatic; and furnishes an admirable example of the mode in which theology may be written, so as to iSterest and instruct the educated, without puzzling or fatiguing the ignorant."Monthly Review.

The importance of the subjects it discusses, and the information it supplies, are sucli as to recommend it even to those who inay be opposed to its political sentiments, or who may not always coincide with it, as to the expediency of the ineasures it advocates.
