LITERARY REVIEW.

DEISM REFUTED ; or, Plain Reasons for bein; a Chris-
tian. By TitomAs HARTWELL lionNE, M.A. of St. John's
College, Cambridge, Curate of Christ Church, Newgate-
street, London.

Infidelity has, of late, fully shown itself to be
the offspring of vanity and ignorance; and it
is much to be lamented, that the press now.teems
with invectives against the fundatnental doctrines
of Christianity, to a much greater extent than at
any former period t in a shape too, and at a price
which enable those invectives to court the atten-
tion of the lower classes, and of the young and
uniformed of all ranks.

in addition to invective, all the old objections,
repeatedly answered,
.are raked up from dusty
shelves, and laid before the public in short com-
pendia of infidellity ; with this great advantage in
their favour over any answers which may again
be brought forward against them, that objections,
built on popular notions, or popular ignorance, are
easily conveyed to the mind in a few words, or
even by a simple negative, so as to make a most
powerful impression ; whilst, whoeter steps for-
ward to answer them, has not only to encounter
all the notions and prejudices wide ivtich they
are allied, but even finds it necessary to iss.-tch the
ignorant before he can have any chance of con-
vincing them.
In consequence of this, works of Christian de-
fence, even on the smallest scale, have been ra-
ther above the reach of that class whose minds
and morali are now so assiduously assailed ; so
that a cheap and popular answer, always a desi-
deratum, but now more imperiously called for,
cannot fail to excite the attention of those anxious
for their country's welfare, and disposed to
check the progress of scepticism and irreli-
gion, by ate dissemination of doctrinal proofs,
intelligible to the meanest capacity by their sins-
plicity, even whilst carrying conviction to minds
of a more talented and cultivated order. In re-
gard to cheapness and simplicity, the work be-
fore us seems well fitted to answer every rational
expectation ; containing more matter than many
seven shilling volumes.
• It has been well observed, that nothing is
more unreasonable than to neglect and despise
plain and sufficient evidence, which we now pos-
sess, and to sit down to imagine what kind of
evidence would have pleased us ; 'and then to
make the want of such evidence an objection to
the truth ; which yet, if well considered, would
be found to be established.
Such seems to have been in the Author's con-
' templation, when he undertook the present meri-
torions little sketch of the leading proofs of Chris-
tian Faith. He commences with slicwing Irons
the light of nature, from historical fact,,from the
general feelings of mankind in all ages and na-
tions, and front the state of religion and morals
in the Heathen world, that a Divine revelation is
not only possible and probable, but absolutely
necessary. Proofs and explanations of the au-
thenticity of the Sapred Script tires are next intro-
duced, including their historical descent to us,
their language and style, minuteness and circum-
stantiality, moral impossibility of forgery, agree-
ment with natural and civil history, &c. &c. -
The Divine authority of the Scriptures is next
proved from miracles and prophecy ; both of
which subjects are rendered familiarly intelli-
gible : and the whole is wound up with an ani-
mated defence of ' internal evidence, Irons the
sublimity and excellence of the doctrines and
moral precepts, front the harmony and intimate
connection in all (farts, front the demonstrated
absence of any thing like a real contradiction,
from their miraculous preservation, and front
their tendency to promote present and eternal
happiness.

Upon the whole, we must recognize it as a
little work of great merit, deserving the tien-
tioh and friendly patronage of all who wish well
to their fellow-Christians and fellow-Countrymen,
wbatever their Beet or party.
