A CLASSICAL TOUR through ITALY.and
Lk. SICILY, tending to illustrate some Districts which have
not been described by Mr. Eustace, in his Classical Tour.
By Sir RICHARD COLT HOARE, Bart.
London : Printed for J. Mawman, 39, Ludgate-street.
It has been a topic of general regret in the literary
world, that Mr. Eustace did not live to finish the Supplemen-
tary Volume.to his " Classical Tour," so as to form a com-
plete Work on the present and past State of Italy, for which
he was engaged in collecting materials at the period of his
premature decease. But what Mr. Enstace did not live to
accomplish, Sir Richard Colt Hoare has executed, aid in
such a manner as, it is hoped, will be at once acceptable to
the Public, and gratifying to the numerous friends of Mr.
Eustace, as a tribute of respect to his genius, and of affection
to his memory.

Tour" having been long out of print, a New and Third Edi-

MR. EDITOR,--When it appears that no two
translations of the Old Testament from the Hebrew
into any other language, living or dead, agree in
substance or style, our surprize ceases that it has
made so little impression on the minds of people
in general. Rather than search out its worth,
through insuperable difficulties and intricacies,
.they neglect and leave to the Priesthood, like
the Papists by their Pope, throwing their sins
upon him, as the vicar of their Saviour. The
Priesthood from thence use it 'according to that
plan of faith and worship which they in their
seism think the nearest to the truth. This has
raised up sectaries of all sorts, some favouring Ar-
menianism or free-will, others predestiny or' fata-
lism, which have respectively been spread among
ns, to the great division of Church Protestants,
and the Dissenters of all denominations ; whereby
an uniformity of faith and discipline has been pre.
vented, the people have been kept in ignorance,
and become altogether indifferent about any tell-
ion whatever. .

In such a warfare between legitimate and spu-
rious Priests, it is not surprising that reasonable

and serious people, who, at every turn, see and
contemplate God in his works, should anxiously
look for him in the writiogs of the chosen, who
speak by his inspiration ; and that they should be
laid before us as chaste and true to the original
as the power of man will allow. As we have
them at present in English, they are so contra•
dictory that they are expounded in opposition to
their very letter., by the artifice of man, who Be,-
sumptiously works the untaught mind into a wide
sheet of paper, on which he writes what he
pleases, availing himself -of Biblical Errors to
justify his bewildering discourses ; explaining
what they do not mean, such for example as that
the word WATERS, in Scripture, not only is de-
scriptive of the Red Sea and the River Jordan, but
of mortal AFFLICTIONS ;. and that we should read
it under the dark parable of the letter, chyrmically
and abstractedly, mystically, but not literally ;
thus leaving us to seek the Almighty in systematic
divinity, more than truth, and to learn something,
without coming to the knowledge of him. This
js turning-Scripture from a fountain of delight into
a chaos of confusion, and overwhelming us in the
clouds of Erebtr. Hox atra coca circum volat
umbra. Yet the Bishop's Bible which has been
in use since the reign of King James, erroneous
as it may be in divers parts of the Old Testament,
is not so lost in translation and imperfection, but
that it is capable of being amended,and illuminated
to the level of common sense, without the fear of
depreciation, or the necessity of a note, either
lateral or subjoined. Tnis, in the nature of things,
is now loudly called for by the Protestant World,
for whom, and the truly religious of every desig:
nation, this holy book was intended, and not pe-
culiarly or exclusively for the chosen people. It
is the foundation and beginning of all that follows,
through the Prophets, Major and Minor ; and
ultimately of the Gospel of the Omnipotent through
Jesus his Son, and his several Apostles ; making
the Jewish and Christian Dispensation but dif-
ferent parts of one entire whole, illustrating an*l
confirming each other ; and though the former
was to Israel alone, it was an opening for the
latter through the spirit of prophecy, from Abra-
ham the Father of the Faithful, and Moses the
Great Lawgiver, down to the Messiah, the Prince
of Peace ! ! !
Such a book, transcendent and liaramount as it
is of all others, and the first that ever was written
by men for men, should not be concealed from the
lowest understanding. It should be made so clear
and intelligible as to require no expositor, and its
its reading to inform and -instruct all people alike,
without leaving any in doubt of its meaning,
for to doubt it in parts, weakens a belief in the
whole.
To obtain this boon, let us hail with animation
Mr. Jon BELLAMY, assured from what be has
favoured us with, he will open the eyes of the
blind passages in this our rule of faith, and cure
us of our disappointment hitherto ; holding nos:
thing sacred that is erroneous, and only admit-
ting that the rectitude of intention is an excuse
for error, which ought not to appear in a perfect
book. His rudely reverend critic . may then be
convinced against his will, that the new version
gloriously supersedes the old ; and may be studied
without sickening our senses, or embarrassing our
intellects; obliging us in the delight of our hearts
to call it the first, the last; and best of all books
in the terrene world. Then we may expect to see
it as a head-stone in the "corner of every house,
from a palace to .2 cottage, and react with comfort
and joy by Prince and People. Hoc opus hie
laborest. The labour is great, but the reward
will be greater; from the living now, and the
living hereafter.
