    our God , " and to receive from him direction and support , a place pecu * liarly adapted to privacy and seclusion from the world , was indeed well fitted for the display of that wonderful and splendid scene .

    The word foavvtcTepeva { fy dtavvKTtpevup ) , which is applied to our Saviour on the mountain , the night before he made choice of his disciples , ( Luke vi . 12 , ) is very expressive of vigilance and intenseness of mind . Schleusner , among other explanations which he gives of it , has the

    Sheffield , Sir , April 19 , 1819 . IN addition to the remarks which were made in your Repository for last January , [ p . 40 , ] respecting the ancient irp 6 < r € u % a ^ « is to their situation , not only on low grounds , but on hills and mountains , and the religious purposes to which they were devoted , 1

    would observe , that there are many broken remains still to be met with , which may have belonged to edifices of this kind . These structures , open to the heavens , afforded a powerful ^ id to religious contemplation and prayer . I think it not improbable , that when

    our Saviour " took his three disciples , Peter , James and John , and brought them up into an high mountain apart , k £ t * Siav , and was transfigured before them , their retreat was to a irpocra ^>}; and the transfiguration might be

    presented within its walls . A place consecrated to religious contemplation _ h place to which our Lord h ^ d , perhaps , often resorted on former occasions to hold communion with " his Father and our Father , hi « God and
