The danger which threatens our Religion twin
the ambition of POPERY' to iittrude itself into the
Legislature, induced us to signify, that in our
Critical Department we should particularly direct
our attention to Theological Works, not contro-
versial, but doctrinal, and exhortative. In pur.,
stance of this plan, in which we expect the criti-
cal assistance of many Members oldie Church, who
may be supptised to be chiefly conversant with the
subject, we are led to notice the work before us.
IVe may venture to recommend it to the Clergy
as well as to readers iu general. The Author, or
rather Compiler, has selected his materials Irons
the works of some of our most celebrated Divines,
and be ha's appended to each sermon brief notices
of the birth, rank, and death of the respective
Authors. M the language of the original is often 4
very quaint, we approve of the Author's moderni-
-211ei071, for otherwise the bearer or the. reader
might be diverted, by the peculiarity of the
phraseology, from a due impression of the doctrines
and the precepts. The selections are judicious,
but we think the Author should have stated the sub-
ject of the several discourses at the head of each, as
is usual in such works, but a 3 we conceive that a
new Edition will be speedily called for, that defect
can be easily supplied. We shall present the brief
and modest Preface, and hope that the Author
Will proceed in an undertaking which is so well
calculated to in►part moral and religious instruction
to all private families, as well as to the Ministers
of our Holy Faith.
Our language has_ undeigone such recent
changes, and so different is our present mode of
preaching, that few, it may safely be asserted,
are sufficiently acquainted with the merits of our
old Divines. •

The most celebrated Preachers among the
French, lived, fortunately, when their language
was already fixed-; and therefore, perhaps. are
as fully appreciated as they deserve by all (fo-
reigners as well 'as natives) who have any pre-
trnsions to a knowledge of their hest writers r.
" Our own Divines, however, as they justly
may contend with then► for genius, in soundness
of true Cl:ristian doctrine are indisputably

" It is hoped, therefore,. that an attempt to
a(Wt some of their coMpositions to what may be
deemed, perhaps, the present style of preaching,
way bring them into more general notice. At
any rate, if the following short Discourses, in
which, it is presumed, the spirit of their great
oiiginali must in some degree exist, shall meet
the eye of those who may have no oilier means of
knowing 'them ; or shall induce those vho are
more fortunately. circunist sliced, not only to con-
sult hot to study them, the design of the pres'ent
publiCation will be fully answered.

" Some Discourses from Authors of a more re-
cent.date .are admitted, not only for the- sake of
-variety, but to prove that the latter must have fa-
miliarized themselves with the writings of the
former. And, perhaps, till they thus can rival
.their illustrious predecessors, the ybunger Clergy,
by this selection of their beauties,- as spechneos
.of Pulpit eloquence, may be prevailed on to adopt
a similar plan, before they venture on original
composition."

a proof that the remark is at least applicable to the
French thewselves, I shall. only refer to Alatiry (Essai sue
l'Elinuence Ile la Chaire, tome 2, p. 43,) who does not hesi-
fate to assert that " the seirmd class" of French Preachers
would " incontestibly form the first among all the other na-
tions of Europe."
