GEOGRAPHY.

IT is the least praise of the following series of Ele-
mentary works of Geography to say, that they are better
adapted than any other, as a means of teaching that useful science,
the real fact being that they form the only effective system that
ever was contrived,by which persons of all ages may speedily and
certainly attain a clear and accurate knowledge of Geography.—
and at the same time they claim a decisive pr-eminence, as the
only praciical course by which the science can be succeufuily and
easily taught in large Seminariei,

Another observation to the same effect is made by the learned
Mr. Parkhurst, who, in the Note relative .to the last edition t•
his :;ice': Lexicon, calls the work in question, " Dr. NI:-
Inittons and vaNable Commentatyon the Aposiotical Epistles,
Work highly hieriting a place in the. Library of every Chris'
Divine."

Dr. Mackr.ight's " Commentary generally gives the true
of the text, in a concise form. With the Notes especially,
have often beetihighly gratified.—They contain much melt
formation, requisite to understand fully the meaning of the
sages to which they areiubjoined ; they occasionally Mustn't(
beauties of sentiment and language In the Epistles, and not
quently ceatain important practical remark,. Considering it
uerally as a work of real utility and excellence, we cheerfull,
commend it to readers of eve class, who can easily compass
purchase, avid especially to the biblical student and Christian
ulster. --ateleceic Review, July, 1807.
The late Dr. Macknight, of Edinburgh, is universally ado
!edged to have been one of the most -intelligent, judicious,
candid Expositors of the Sacred writings that ever appeared;
the reputation of his Works for sound criticism, extensive knot
ledge, and clear elucidation of Scripture by itself, is rapidly i
creasing mnung Christians of every denomination. In proot
this we need ..•aly refer to the most respectable literary Joune

but from the ablest Divitu.s of all descriptions, both at home

This Work has been admitted, by the best judges, to be

many objections respecting some parts of our Sas-love's cr
the possibility and the credibility of Miracles, Ste." The
eminent Author also copies at great length from this Wor
argument for the Truth of the Christian Religion, arisin
the Conversion of the World to Christianity. And it is well
that the chief entierials of Paley's Evidences are to be ft
