This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular.

THE METROPOLIS AND SUBURBS. At the church of St, Mary, Lambeth, which ad joins the Archbishop's Palace, the damage has been most extensive. About 7 o'clock in the evening of Thursday it was found that the wind had stripped off about 30 feet of the massive leaden covering over the nave, dragging with it a portion of the roof. The lead of the south aisle was 'also torn ff for about 15 feet, as well as injuring the roof. Shortly after this a lofty stone chimney was dashed from the roof of the vestry, and hurled with violence into the graveyard, where portions of the stone of very heavy weight were found buried in the earth seve ral inches below the surface. In Fore-street and Vauxhall-street the roadway was strewn with tiles, bricks, &c., blown from the roofs of the houses. A very large portion of the picture of Venice at the Royal Surrey Gardens, extending to nearly the centre towards the west end, was caught by the hurricane and hurled to the ground, including the massive scaffolding. The mass fell towards the lake, and was torn and damaged to a serious ex tent. About 7 o'clock in the evening a terrific crash alarmed the inhabitants of Mill-street, Lambeth walk, when it was ascertained that a great portion of the roof of a house in that thoroughfare, belong ing to and adjoining the factory of Mr. H. Baker, coachbuilder, had been blown in. Two children were in one room, and a man and his wife and one child in another room on the same floor, when the gale forced down the stack of chimneys, which fell on to the roof, crushing it in. The whole of the fragments fell into the room where these persons were, all of whom narrowly escaped, but the furni ture was extensively damaged. At the establishment of Messrs. Moses and Son, Aldgate, the wind forced out the massive sheet of plate glass in the show-room, the shattered frag ments being carried into the street with terrible force. During the height of the gale a stack of chimneys on the house, No. 4, Brighton-place, Brixton road, was forced down, and fell into the window of the adjoining house, destroying a great quantity of fur niture, and doing considerable damage. In the Lower Hope two collier vessels were blown on shore, and below Woolwich Reach a heavily laden hoy was sunk, but fortunately no lives were lost. Two barges, heavily laden, were sunk oppo site the Brunswick-pier, Blackwall, and a whole fleet of barges and lighters might have shared the same fate but for the prompt measures taken by the authorities at the East India Docks, who ordered the main gates to be opened and all craft in danger were admitted into dock. At Woolwich Dockyard a considerable portion of the roof of the newly erected church was blown off, and also the corru gated zinc roof of the mast-house, next the river. An explosion took place on Thursday night at the gunpowder mills of Messrs. Curtis arid Harvey, near Hounslow. Messrs. Curtis and Harvey's manufac tory, or, more correctly speaking, series of factories, occupy some miles of ground. The spot on which the present disaster happened was at Hatton, nearly two miles distant, the property of the Duke of Northumberland—Hatton-lane, nearly facing Judge Pollock's mansion, only separating one description of work from the other, two pieces of machinery being driven by the same mill head, the lower flow supplying two houses. At the works at Hounslow immense streams of water run between the different mills and corning houses, and, as was the case at Hatton, tall trees were so planted that, in the event of an explosion occurring, they would to some ex tent break its force. At the time the hurricane or gale commenced on Thursday night, the men who were engaged in five of the mills were ordered to leave the premises and take shelter for a time in the Iv atchhouse. Ms they did, and most fortu nately they did so, for at 20 minutes after eight o'clock, while the workpeople were in the watch house awaiting the subsiding of the storm, an explosion, and one of no small magnitude, hap pened. The explosion which took place shook the houses at Teddington and Twicken ham to their very foundations ; the inmates had no sooner got into the streets than another and still more violent explosion followed, which again shook the neighbourhood, and portions of trees were cast across the mill streams in sundry direc tions; another, and one still more serious, super vened which blew to atoms another corning-house and two other similar buildings. The machines weighed on the average about three tons each, and, owing to their great weight, the working gear was on' partially destroyed. The men were ordered, after the storm had somewhat subsided, to resume their employment in 20 minutes time, but, owing to the buildings being 20 feet long and 25 feet wide, the workmen were unable to reach their several compartments, and thereby their lives were saved. The engines belonging to the firm, as well as others of the neighbourhood, were quickly in attendance, and the machines were set to work from the water in the mill streams ) the flames were e ve ntually extinguished, but not until five of the mills were levelled with the ground and the stock therein con sumed, The machinery is also, although not en tirely destroyed, extensively damaged by the force of the explosion. It is hardly necessary to state that the mills destroyed were uninsured. Taking the line of the South Western Railway from Wa terloo-road to the above spot, something like an approximate idea of the force of the gale may be formed--trees, fencings, summer-houses in gentle men's gardens, and quickset hedges, have been rent asunder, and the roofs of various buildings have been uplifted by the force of the hurricane. READING, FEB. 22. The wind blew a fearful hurricane here yester day, and extensive mischief has been done. It was about one o'clock in the morning when people generally were awoke from their sleep:by sudden and heavy gusts of wind from the south-west, and the inmates of old houses were not a little alarmed at the unpleasant oscillation which they experienced. At about two o'clock a tre mendous crash was heard in the neighbourhood of K.attsgrove-lane, and it was soon afterwards ascertained that it was caused by the falling of from thirty to forty feet of the high chimney at the extensive ironworks of Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes. It was fortunate that the accident occurred at a time when the men were not at work, or the consequences must have been serious, if not fatal, In the fall the brickwork did not do so much damage as might have been imagined from the many tons weight of brick and iron which formed the fragments. Some portion of the remaining chimney has been so loosened by the hurricane that it will have to be removed before any new work can be added. About the same time the wind forced down a considerable length of woodwork in the Forbury, forming the grounds in the occupation of Messrs. Sutton and Sons, seed growers, and damage was done to some of the adjacent property, but not to any great extent. But the most material mischief, and what archaeolo gists will much regret, is that which has been done to the fine old Abbey gateway. For a long time the local authorities have contemplated the resto ration of this beautiful specimen of mediaeval architecture, but as the plans prepared by Mr. Scott, of London, involved an outlay of above £l,OOO, which is the amount at their disposal for the . purpose, the work has been delayed for a modi fication of the plans. The principal of the three arches and the w es t ern t ower h ave f or a l ong time been in such a dilapidated state that it was deemed to be prudent to shore them up, and stop up the passage through the gateway. During the last fortnight workmen have been employed in removing the lead from the roof, weighing several tons, and the large oaken beams, which were thought by some to he too heavy for the tottering state of the building to sustain. Pour men were at work on the scaffolding yesterday afternoon, a little before five o'clock ) when the wind again became furious, and made the building oscillate, As portions of the walls crumbled and fell down, the men felt their position to be unsafe, and descended the scaffold to go to the other side of the archway to nail up some boards, to prevent persona walking under the archway, to prevent accident. They had scarcely left the scaffold five minutes when a sudden gust of wind came on and blew down a portion of the western tower, and with it the whole of the fine , arch of the gateway on the north side fell. Had the men remained at work on the scaffold they must inevitably have been killed. When they heard the crash on the spot which they had left but a few minutes previously they were greatly alarmed, and regarded their escape from death as purely providential. The Abbey gateway, history states, was built in the reign of Henry 11., about 200 years after the famous Abbey. On removing the oaken timbers from the roof a few days ago there was found a record, evidently made by a workman, of the repair of that building in the year 1702. The partial destruction of this work of an tiquity by the hurricane has excited considerable interest in the town, and the spot has been :visited by persons throughout the day, At the Great Western Railway station the hurricane stripped the roofs of their zinc coverings and broke several windows. No damage, however, occurred to any of the carriages or trains. CHATHAM, FEB. 22. The gale which prevailed yesterday afternoon and evening from the S.S.W , and lasted during nearly the whole night, was one of the most fear ful ever experienced in this locality, and more re sembled the tornadoes of tropical climates than anything usually known in these latitudes. The damage done to the shipping at this port, and also to the property in the neighbourhood, has been very considerable. During the time the hurricane was at its height;two Government lighters, lying off the dockyard alongside the Elizabeth, Kelso master, from Moulmein, with timber for this dock yard, sank, each of them having a considerable portion of the cargo of that vessel on board. Im mediately the disaster was reported to the officer commanding the Wellesley, 74, the guardship at the port, a number of sailors were despatched to the Elizabeth to render that vessel assistance, or there is no doubt she would have filled and sank from the imminent peril in which she stood. Every precaution was taken on board the vessels of war in harbour to prevent their dragging or breaking adrift, but, in consequence of the good anchorage afforded, the whole of them rode out the gale in safety. In several parts of the town, and also in the neighbouring city of Rochester, the fury of the gale was particu larly felt. A large windmill, erected on a very exposed position at the top of Frindsbury-hill, belonging to Mr. Kimmins, miller, was partially swept awa7, two of the large sails and a portion of a third being blown down and shattered to pieces, causing considerable damage to the premises be neath, on which they fell with a tremendous crash. The new range of buildings in course of erection for the Royal Engineers at Brompton Barracks had a portion of the zinc covering on the roof sti ipped off by the gale. Considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the large glasshouse erected at the top of the building for photographic purposes, but, every precaution having been taken for its safety, it experienced no injury. A block of new houses being erected on the New-road, facing the south, where they experienced the full effects of the gale, received much damage, and had a quantity of the roofing torn off. Several houses in the locality have been partially stripped of their tiles, and, during the period the hurricane was at its height, pedes trians in the streets stood in the greatest peril from falling chimney pots, slates, and tiles. In the country around the effects of the gale are percep tible by the number of fine trees which are .up rooted and scattered in various directions, many of them presenting the appearance of having been torn up and hurled some distance. The gale mode rated this morning, and during the afternoon there was only a light wind from the south-south-west. WARWICK, FRIDAY. The gale which prevailed yesterday has been unprecedently violent, and has done very great injury to property in Warwick, Leamington, and the adjoining district. The hurricane blew here with such fury between the hours of 1 and 3 in the morning, and again at 9 p.m., as to shake houses so that few could sleep. While cottages have been overturned, a church has been partly unroofed (Emscote), and the damage is greater than ever previously effected by a gale in this neighbourhood. Mr. J. Kemp, grocer and chandler, had a most narrow escape with his family in the Warwick mar ket-square. He was sleeping with his wife in the top story of a house surmounted with a sloping " half roof" and two very large stacks of chimneys, and his two children, who had been aroused from their sleep by the violence of the hurricane, had scarcely crept into bed with their father and mother before one of the chimneys was blown down, and broke through into the bedroom, and the fragments prevented all egress from the room in the usual way. Mr. Kemp fortunately recollected the exis tence of a concealed and closed up passage behind the bedstead, the only part of the room left intact, and, using a small iron safe as a battering ram, he at length rescued his wife and children from their perilous situation. Many ancient cedars adorning the lawn of Warwick Castle and 50 cedars and elms in the Priory grounds have been in the same manner destroyed. The violence of the storm will be regretted by very many excur sionists from Birmingham who frequent the summer picnics and fetes in these beautiful grounds. At Stratford-upon-Avon, Charlecote, Wellesbourne, and in fact throughout the southern portion of 'Warwickshire, the damage done to the timber of this finely-wooded county has been unprecedented and immense. The road from Leamington to War wick has been completely obstructed, so that traffic was stopped owing to the wrecks of fallen trees. LEICESTER, FRIDAY. A gale of almost unexampled soverity visited this town and district for several hours on Wednesday night, accompanied with heavy rain. In the town chimney-pots, tiles, and slates were blown about like chaff, and the strongest buildings shaken; hile in the whole county surrounding stacks of corn were demolished, and some magnificent timber uprooted. On Thursday evening the wind rose again, and continued to blow from the same quarter, with almost equal power, and many small buildings, walls, fences, and stacks of timber were overthrown. No serious damage to property or personal injury has resulted. BRISTOL, FRIDAY. Another gale, equal in violence to that of Wed nesday night, visited this place last evening. From 5 to 7 p.m. the wind blew with great fury, varying from S.W. to W.S.W., from which latter point it continued till about 10 p.m., when its force abated. The mercury fell till 6 p.m., after which hour it rose rapidly. Telegraphic communication between London and the north, and this city is still sus pended, the damage done to the wires, previously uninjured, last night being considerable. A house in Somerset-square, Cathay, suffered severely from the violence of the storm, and its inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. A tall stack of chimneys in the rear of the premises was blown down, and, falling on the roof, the fragments forced their way to the ground floor, destroying the furniture in the several rooms, and depositing an immense quantity of bricks, tiles, &c., on the parlour floor. Two women, who were the only persons living in the house, had only quitted the room a few moments before, and thus escaped destruction. The cross of St. ltaphael's-court, Bedminster, a recently-erected edifice, together with about half a ton of masonry, was dislodged. At Clevedon, Keynsham , Shore hampton, Thornbury, Mangotsfield, Brislington, and other places, serious injury resu lted from the storm. At Weston-super-mare, Trinity Church, a new building, which was nearly finished, has be come a complete wreck. Upwards of 25 feet of the spire was literally dashed to atoms, many portions falling through the roof and causing !sad devastation. The scaffolding was blown to the ground from the violence of the hurricane, and the damage done at this spot must amount to many hundred pounds. In the neighbouring villages of 13Ieadcm, Kewstoke, and Worle, the gale was also severely felt—roofs, trees, and hayricks being scat tered in all directions. With all these disasters on land, it speaks well for the safety of the Bristol Channel that the casualties reported as arising from these tremendous gales are few and compara tively trifling. EXETER, FRIDAY. In Exeter the damage to property is very great. Houses were partially unroofed, walls were blown down and a vast number of large treeswere uprooted. In the Cathedral-yard one of the old elm trees which stood near the venerable structure was blown down. In the streets flys and earts were overturned by .he violence of the gale. At Topsham several houses were unroofed and windows smashed. The schooner Par, belonging to Denmark, broke from her moorings, and so many of the trees in the high way were blown down that th e road i n many places is impassable. In the rural districts the storm did much damage to the homesteads. Ricks of corn and hay were blown down, and great loss has been sus tained. At Torquay the hurricane was terrific and much destruction of property was caused. A cook in the employ of Mr. Sidgreaves, Falkland Villa, was killed by a chimney falling through the roof into the kitchen. A large elm tree fell in upon Torre Church and demolished the outer porch. The tele graphic wires for some distance on the Bristol and Exeter Railway were blown down, and all commu nication stopped. Such destructive gales have not been remembered for many years. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY. The storm which prevailed here so severely yes terday subsided as the night advanced, and this morning it was comparatively calm. The sea how ever continues to run very high. There is a report that an iron-built ship went ashore last night in Hamoate. The Belgian brigantine joseph, which was driven into Patten Bay yesterday by the Hia watha, floated off as the tide rose, and is now safe in Sutton Harbour. Shipwrights are at work on the schooner Pigeon, laden with gunpowder, which grounded under the citadel, and hopes are enter tained that she will be got off. The fore and aft schooner which ran on the Batten Ridge is called the Freedom, of Jersey. If the weather continues moderate there is a remote chance of her being saved. The strange barque which fouled the schooner Devon yesterday afternoon is called the Fury, Captain Lorentz, a Prussian, from Memel for Belfast. Having grounded at half-tide she is likely to come off to-day, as her cargo consists of deals. When Capt. Fowler observed the barque driving in an unmanageable state, stern foremost, towards the Devon, he skilfully hoisted his jib to give the schooner a cant to the northward, and then veered out chain. In this condition the blow from the bark, which went to the southward, fell with less force. Her foremast caught the schooner's jibboom and bowsprit, both of whichfortunately gave way with the foretopmast, and the schooner's ground tackle held on. She is supplied with Brown and Harfield's , patent windlass, which much facilitated the process of veering out cable. Two of her crew were so much alarmed that they jumped on board the barque and were stranded in her. Commander Henry Phelps, Inspecting Commander of Coastguard, Mr. Bath, and the other officers, and the men under them, have been very sedulous in their attention to the wrecked vessels, some of the crews of which they have saved. No lives were lost yesterday. During the storm steam was kept up on board the paddlewheel sloop Geyser, 6, Commander Jackson, in the Sound, to assist her anchors. FALMOUTH, FEB. 22, For the past 48 hours it has blown a succession of heavy gales with unprecedented severity, and almost entirely from the southward, accompanied by rain. The large fleet of merchantmen in the roads and harbour hallo ridden out well, notwith standing they amount to fully 200 sail, with one or two exceptions of collision ; the Dutch ship Twe Gesasters, from Batavia, drove foul of the barque Grecian Queen, from Venice, and each sustained damage in hull and spars, on the night of the 20th ; and another collision of less importance took place on the 19th, between the Norway barque Soerimner and the barque Woodhouse. These are the total casualties, in addition to the accident by drowning of the master of the Dutch brigantine Levant, with one of the crew, by the capsizing of a boat in going e test of the wind and been sea, to which it out w off during the gale.

The following is the bill brought into the House of Commons by Mr. Locke King and Mr. Hastings Russell, to extend the franchise in counties in Eng land and Wales : " Whereas it is expedient to extend the elective franchise to many of her Majesty's subjects who have not heretofore enjoyed the same: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and con sent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : " 1. From and after the passing of this act, every male person, of full age and not subject to any legal disability, who occupies, as owner or tenant, any land or tenement situate without the limits of any city or borough entitled to return a burgess or burgesses to Parliament of the clear yearly value, or for which he is liable to a clear yearly rent, of not less than £lO, and comprising a house of the clear yearly value of not less than £6, shall be entitled to vote in the election of a knight or knights of the shire to serve in any future Parliament for the county, riding, part, or division of the county, in which such land' or ' tenement' is situate : " But no such occupier shall be so entitled to vote unless he be duly registered as such voter, nor shall be entitled to be so registered in any year, unless he have occupied such land' or tenement of such value or at such rent as afore said for six calendar months at least next before the last day of July in such year. " 2. The act passed in the second year of King William the Fourth, to amend the representation of the people in England and Wales, and the act passed in the sixth year of her present Majesty's reign, to amend the law for the regis tration of persons entitled to vote, and to define certain rights of voting, and to regulate certain proceedings in the election of members to serve in Parliament for Eng land and Wales, and the present act shall be construed as one act." Mr. Baines' bill, which is backed by Mr. Bazley, Mr. Scholefield, and Mr. Digby Seymour, is as follows : " Whereas it is expedient to extend the right of voting for members of Parliament in cities and boroughs is Eng land and Wales : Be it enacted by the Queen's Most Ex cellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this pro sent Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows : " 1. The occupation of premises within a city or borough which returns a member or members to serve in Parlia ment, or within a place sharing in the election for such city or borough, of the clear yearly value of not less than six pounds, shall confer a right to vote in the election of such member or members, in like manner as such right is now conferred in respect of the occupation of premises of the clear yearly value of not less than ten pounds; and all provisions now in force concerning such right in respect of such occupation shall, save as herein otherwise provided, be applicable to the right hereby conferred, as if six pounds were mentioned in section 27 of the act of the session holden in the 2d and 3d years of King William IV., chap. 45 , and were mentioned or referred to in all other the provisions concerning such right instead of £lO. " 2. No person shall be entitled under this act i t w o i v th ot an e in an election in respect of his occupation' jointly land, of any building other tha n a dwelling-°kotusYe in which ho himself resides, unless such building se parately be of the clear yearly value of rtot less Borough 3 be c i te d a s The Franchise Act "This act may 1861."

The one is a document signed by every English prelate without exception, censuring a possibly very censurable volume. The authors of volume are branded, so far as the expressed opinion of the whole bench of bishops can brand them, with not only holding and teaching erroneous opinions, but with occupying an immoral and indefensible posi tion, if not legally, yet as clergymen and gentle men. The other is a statement in your impression of yesterday, that one of the most influential and best known of these prelates, himself hut recently trans ferred to a seat of great wealth and unusual patron age, has presented the very first piece of valuable preferment which has fallen into his hands to his own son-in-law and domestic chaplain. No one' who knows the gentleman in question would wil lingly say a word against him. He is allowed to , be a young man of blameless character and plea sant address ; but his best friends would not allege in his behalf any one intellectual or theological attainment of any kind, or any special zeal or strength of character. He is totally unknown in . the diocess of Durham; he has' been but a short time in orders, and his experience of parochial work has proportionably been limited and scanty. Surely the Bishop of Durham might have chosen a better moment to drive the sharp sword of nepot i sm into the vitals of his Church. She needs her life blood sadly, and cannot afford to spill it thus. What will be the effect of such an act at such a moment on the minds of those who are a few, a very few years younger than the Bishop's fortunate chap lain ly The young men at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are no strangers to the questions agitated in the volume _which has just been con demned. The whole future destiny of not a few depends on the answers which can be given by or for them to the questions which are there stirred. And what do they now see On the one hand they see men for some of whom they care nothing, and from whose views they shrink, for some of whom they feel an entire and absorbing veneration, classed together by the leaders of their Church in one indis criminate and almost scornful condemnation. On the other, they see one after another of those who occupy this high place, and speak thus in the lan guage of authority, falling victims to the one vice which the young utterly despise—the one sin for which they make ..no allowance—that of selfish greed. - As the undergraduate of 1861 looks round him, he sees the moat earnest and the most gifted of those who are a little his senior, hesitating about fulfill ing the aim of bis life by taking orders ; and as this and that phase of intellectual growth passes over himself, he feels bewildered at announcements like that made by a well-known bishop last summer, that the " smallest taint of neology would be fatal to any candidate for orders." On the other hand he sees the least gifted, the least thoughtful, in more than one case the least respected of his contemporaries, passing almost in a moment from the aimless, well-dressed undergra duate, whose answers at lecture were the College joke, into the favoured protege, the domestic, and, as has been more !than once lately the case, the examing chaplain of this and that powerful bishop , and the legitimate heir to the comfortable rectory for which hardworking incumbents have toiled for years in vain. This is not the first occasion on which the very College which is looked on as the stronghold of a questioning rationalism has had its weak faith scandalised by these rapid and almost grotesque transformations. The Church of England and the Christianity of England may be approaching a time of trial, and sifting, and difficulty. The friends of both might wish these acts of nepotism to be passed over with a sigh or a groan. But your columns carry them far and wide, and wherever they are read there will be a sneer at the Church whose rulers condemn their brethren readily enough—condemn them unheard, unwarned, on the strength of an accusation which they do not trouble themselves to produce, and then are reported, with the ink scarcely dry with which they signed their names, to have been guilty, in one of their representative members, of grasping at the Church's property with a baste almost sordid, of treatin ,, what has been just com mitted to one of their body with solemn vows and a solemn service as a matter of mere loot, a means of mere family enrichment. —Your obedient ser vant, OxoNIEN sts. Feb. 21. " ESSAYS AND REVIEWS." TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A letter which appeared in the Times of yesterday on the subject of " Essays and Reviews," written by one who signed himself " A Cambridge Graduate," is a striking contrast in its fairness and the desire it evinces to have each of the essays judged by its own individual merits, to the angry wholesale denunciations of them which may be found in some of our religious newspapers. What, according to the writer of this letter, is wanted as an antidote to some of the essays is a reply which shall not be merely a refutation of errors, but a de finition of truths perverted or neglected. Now, I cannot help asking you to allow me to bring before your readers—to those of them who are interested in theological questions—how, in some degree, a refutation of the kind alluded to already exists—how, in reference at least to the rationalistic views of the Old Testament history which some passages in the essays seem to encou rage, it exists in such works as that of the Rev. F. D. Maurice " On the Kings and Prophets of the Old Testament," and in some of the " Sermons" of the late Rev. F. Robertson. For, surely, the best refu tation of such views, which would make the stories of the Old Testament mere myths and legends of the past, is to make us feel the force and meaning which these stories possess for us Englishmen of the present day; to make us look on the miracles of the Old Testament, not as mere marvels of a by gone age, but as glimpses of a Divine government which, though under different circumstances and in a different way, is as really and truly being car ried on in our own age; and this is the view to which one is led by the study of the works alluded to. Surely, then, great good will be effected out of the evil which some of the Essays and Reviews are likely to occasion, if they are the cause of our divines writing refutations of them conceived in the spirit of such works, or if they lead our young students to the perusal of such works. Above all will great good arise out of the evil if both are led to a more calm, thoughtful, earnest attention to that study of which two*, at least, of the much maligned writers of the essays remind us that it is the great work of our day—l mean the study of the Bible.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Feb. 21.
