They are a touching memorial of early excellence , " no sooner blown but blasted . " There are many reasons which render us not disposed to treat this volume critically . The reader must not suppose that a low opinion of its moral and literary merit is amongst the

Having given this general expression of our opinion , we shall briefly describe the contents of the volume , and notice two or three particulars which excite our admiration , or call for our animadversion .

    Higginson ( Moral Influences of Christ ' s Death ) , E . Tagart ( the Parables ) , J . R . Beard ( to Persons in the Middle Period of Life ) , R .

    From Ireland we have the Rev . Dr . Ledlie ( the Bereaved Parent Comforted ) , J . Martineau ( the Father's Name Glorified in Christ ) , W . H . Drummond , D . D . ( on Sincerity ) , and H . Montgomery ( Christ the Saviour ) . The following are from Geneva : —M . Du'by , Professor of

    Theology and Eloquence ( Shame of the Gospel Reproved , and the Good of Affliction ) , M . Cellerier , jun ., Professor of Criticism and Antiquities ( Simon the Magician , and Thoughtfulness in the House of God ) , and M . Munier , Professor of Interpretation and Hebrew (( on Watchfulness , and Charity a two-fold Blessing ) . Hebrew on Watchfulness , and Charity a two-fold Blessing ) .
