This is a very valuable Theological Review,
conducted with ability and habitually containing
papers ably written and Of deep inherent to all
neral and religious studies. The present number
contains articles besides collection OF brief
Critical Notices and hasty summary Of Literary
Intelligence. Prof. TAPpAN's Review Of Ed
wards on the Win is made the subject of very
able paper, In which the writer aims rather to
show that Dr.. Edwards did not maintain in all
their rigor and strictness, the doctrines which
Pref. Tappaa, in common with nearly all who have
written upon the subject, attributes to hir. than
an argument to sustain them against The strong
opposition which has Of late been organized and
SO efectually aided BY Prof. Tappan. The paper
is well written in candid spirit, and evinces
ordinary power and great skill in metaphysical
reasoning. The leading article Benevolence
and Selfshness, by President Day of Yale College,
is an interesting paper, and that by Rev. ASA d.
SMlrg, Of this city, presents mary considerations
