It certainly is defensible upon the strongest ground." " It is a bold variation, and I am (new translator) constrained to observe, that the conception of the passage is neither Just, nor Ori ginal, and that it is not Defensible." Job xxxix. 19.—" Hut thou given the horse strength ? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder ?" In this verse we have one of the finest similies I have ever met with in any author, ancient or modern ; the greatest beauties in Homer, Virgil, or Milton, are as far below it as to propriety of application, or elegance of expression, as the Supreme Speaker is above the person addressed. The Bishop of London is willing to admit that Rangmaah means " the thunder," but be says, " is not this one of those noble and sublime expressions, of which one dares not question the meaning ? other wise, it may be asked, hew can a can a neck be clothed with thun der ?" That the passage is " noble and sublime" must be allowed ; but we cannot suppose that the Sacred Scriptures, which God has given for a rule of life, are given in such " noble and sublime" lan guage, that we are not to question, or endeavour to understand their meaning ; what idea can we form of the " noble and sublime," if its meaning be unintelligible ? That which cannot be understood can neither be noble nor sublime. Now, as the lightning precedes, and by its swiftness and power is the cause of the thunder, which it necessarily draws with it, so the swiftness and power of the horse is in this striking metaphor compared to the lightning, for the swiftness and power with which he rushes into the battle, described in this chapter, dragging after him the iron war-chariots, with which they fought in those days, the noise of which is in this pas sage compared to the thunder."—P. 212.—The Classical Journal, No. 5.

And how does he propose to reconcile his wish to per form apparent idolatry, with his being afraid even of the appearance of it in his future attendance on his master. But in truth, there is not one word in the original to countenance that sense. " It is truth only which can make a nation invulnerable, and raise it to the highest degree of excellence—the blaze of divine truth, which is contained in the real Ark of God, the hallowed oracles, which break forth over the dark mountains of error, bi gotry and superstition,--and men will be enabled to drink the pure waters as they flow from the fountain of eternal truth."— P. 226.

It is a question of no less magnitude than the choice between a blind adhesion to error, and a pure and perfect knowledge of the revealed law of God. Which of these is preferable—which of them is it no less the interest than it is the duty of every reasonable being to adopt— cannot admit of a doubt. In such a case let us not be alarmed by any vain fear of temporary inconvenience, which ought not for a moment to weigh against the permanent and incalculable advan tage% attendant on such a measure. Let us, on the other hand, entertain a lively, and, I trust, a well-founded hope, that those who gt.vern our Church and State, they may be pleased to take the matter into consideration, and direct an immediate revision of our Received Version, or, what might perhaps be more recommend able, a New Translation of the Original Text."—Extracts. A Reply to the Rev. Mr. Todd's Vindication of our Transla tion and Translators of the Bible. By Sir James Bland Burgess, Bart. 1820. " Of all the crafty inventions of the Devil to mislead and seduce mankind, this perversion (Unitarianism) of the Holy Scriptures is the most efficacious : it is rearing the standard of falsehood against the revelation of Heaven (addressed to the Bishops of Durham and Norwich); it is overthrowing the altars of the Most High, and worshipping the molten calves of our own setting up ; it is poisoning the fount of truth, and converting its pure and sacred streams into corruption and death." " If these be new Texts for Socinianism, the Socinians may preach upon them as long as they please without much apprehen sion of danger." " I certainly, therefore, should have considered them as altoge ther undeserving of a reply, had they not been employed as a vehi cle of much illiberal personality, to which the writer has affected to give an additional weight, by ostentatiously announcing himself in his title-page, as Keeper of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Re cords,' and by dating his preface from The Library, Lambeth Palace.'" " Such were the birth and parentage of our received version, as asserted by Mr. Todd himself, and proved by his o,vn testimony! No further comment en it is necessary." Suo sibi gladio huno jugalo. " Resting on this evidence, I leave this charge, and with it the whole of Mr. Todd's Vindication of our authorised translation and translators, than which a more meagre, crude, and unsatisfac tory performance, was never obtruded on the public." " The charge of Socianism is a mere stale hacknied trick of miserable controversialists, when they are reduced to the paltry shift of calling names, in the hope of thereby escaping from the effect of arguments, which they are incapable of answering. Does not he know that it was employed against Le Clerc ? Did he never hear of a similar charge made against our immortal Lecke ? If such artifices were used against men of their exalted characters, I can have no pretension to expect a more liberal treatment." Some may say, Let us introduce no change, for we cannot tell what further changes may be required of us.'—Had this been listened to, neither the Reformation nor the Revolution could have taken place, and we should have been still subject to Romish super stition, and to despotic power." " ri the side of those who advocate the necessity of a New Translation rests the whole weight of facts and arguments. Let not these be counteracted by less worthy considerations ; let us not leave to the enemies of Christianity the only weapons by which it can be assailed ; but let us cordially and sincerely unite with the learned and pious prelate Archbishop Newcombe, in the prayer with which he concludes his preface, May the all-wise God, in His fit time, dispose the Sovereign of the first Protestant Churches, and of the most learned countries in the world, to complete his true acts of piety, by promoting equal attention to the English Bible !"—Extracts.

These quack and absurd misre presentations, unsupported by weight or authority, might have been safely allowed to pass unnoticed before the oyes of a discern ing public; but as the names of some medical gentlemen are used, it behoves one to inqure by what means, or on what grounds, their signatures hare been obtained (if obtained at all) as sanctioning a direct untruth by proclaiming such as " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," which are unanswerably nothing more than common glasses, of a pink or purple tint, to be purchased at the above esta blishment, at ls. 6d. per pair. Mr. E's. VOICE CONDUCTORS for DEAF PERSONS have been eminently successful in the most extreme cases of slefee five hearing; are worn unperceived, being constructed on asmalier scale than any hitherto offered, measuring only one quarter of an inch in diameter ; possess the peculiar power of conveying the slightest sound with accurate distinctness, affording at the same time the greatest ease and assistance is all cases of Deafness. TESTIMONIALS on the PATENT SPECTALES of Mr. ELIA SOLOMONS, 36, Old Bond-street, nearly opposit e the Western Exchange. From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R. S., President of the Royal Col kge of Surgeons, anti Senior Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital, tice. Mr. Elia Solomons' Spectacle Lenses seem to me likely to afford additional aids to imperfect vision, and because of their superior Physiciana. Extraordinary to the late refracting powers to glass or other dense material; they promise to afford new resources for the construction of Spectacles. ANTHONY CARLISLE, F.R. S., Longhorn-plum From Dr. J. Johnson, Physician King, &c. I have been using and am stiff using Mr. Elia Solomone Amber Spectacles and find them more pleasant to the Eye th an an y o th er g lasses which I have tried. JAMES JOHNSON, M.D., 8, Suffolk-place. From transby Cooper, Esq., F.; . S., S urgeon to Guy ' s Hos pital, Sze. From the use I have made of an Amber Lens, and comparing it with those in ordinary glasses, I have no hesitation in saying that, to my sight, the former is infinitely preferable, in being less trying to the Eye. .BRANSBY B.
