&c. BY Rev. WILLIAM GooDE Philadelphia, Herman
Hooker
Few If any theological productions of the pre-
sent age have excited much attention and dis
cussion rs the series u papers published under the
tile OF Tracts for the Times, and written by
some Of The ahlest cburchmen in England. They
were drawn up wiki consummatc ability-ther
doctrine upheld By strong argument and most
formidable array of citations from authorities aud
enforced with powerful and vigorous oloquencc.
They have found advocates. and have made con-
yerts among the very first men in the Established
Chu-h in England and some of the most brilliant
pens in our own cousry have been engaged in their
support In both countries they have been assaiod
with power and effect. The work whose title i, at
the head d. this nstce is devoted entirely to an ex-
animation Of their positions. 1t is large octayo
in two volumes. and rsight,be inferred from It's
size, examines infinitely and fully all then various
arguments. It, author Is graduate of Trinity
College, Cambridge, and is now Rector Of S..
Antholin, London. He is said to be one of the
rPest and most thorough scholars in the English
Church. His work has been received in ENGLAND
by the opponents of Tractarianisrn--as the new
doctrine is styled-wiih grca, favor a. an unan-
swerable reply to the Hcw hcrc,y 1t is exciting
their great attention and has enlisted in attacking
and defending it, the ablest Of their Theological
Reviews. We observe in the last number of the
london Churchmans Review a long and able

with great severity One great Of the ia
'or with which the Tracts for the Times ard the
doctrines they erbody have been received is said
to be the authority whish they adduce of long
line Of the most illustrious in the Anglican
Church. Upon this post Mr. GooDE is especial
y fall and he charses-and apparently sustains
lis chan ge-the authors Of the Tracts with having
msquoted and IN many places entirely mistaken the
'"eahing OF the paragraphs they have cited. He
shows, as he says, by full and explicit qsotatons
that both the Anglican and the Early Fathers teach
doctrines precisely the opposite of those which the
authors of the Tracts profess to have drawn from
heir pages The work has been looked upon a.
likely to bring to close the long discussion which
Ias grown out of the publication of the article re-
erred to. An eminent clergyman Of our own
rountry speaks of it in the following terms of high
c, nmeuda,ion: ." No one can read this book with
gu. eng struck with the greatness both Of the

Judgement, somewhat too easily. He seems To
