Several of the articles Of the l52d number of the
Quarterly are rich and able. The first on the
Relation Of the Clergy TO the People, will be con-
ned on our side of the water. 1t is prejudiced, l
think, and not strictly exact touching the religious
controversy in France; but on the present aspects
of the clerical question in Great Britain there is
various sound intelligence and salutary reflections
The Chronicle remarks
The Tractaan has failed or rather has been
emineny successful in producing reaction The bulk Of
the clergy have been taught that the people will neither be
led driven unless they choose and nothing Of the
great mental excitement produced by Tracaransm but
eaput mortuum of secession"
The article on the Moral Discipline of the Ayny
may be equally recommended for pith and impor-
tant structures. Praise so emphatic was bestowed
in the London papers on the new number of the
Westminster Review that went through it with
more than literary heed but my conclusion is tina
1t has been overrated. In the articles on Romeo and
Juliet, and the third volume Of Mr.. Schlosser's
History Of the Eighteenth Century, the pretensions
and tone of the reviewers are too overweening and
dogmatic Shakespeare needed no additional eluci-
dations or schoa. Of the German historian the
critic says, " We possess in England no writer be-
$ tween whom and Schlosser it would not be irony
8 to institute comparison Ranke and Theirs may
: be his rivals" The British votares of German
literature usually decry their own in this extrava-
giant vein. In the fifth article, the English work,
The Vestiges Of Creation, is placed by the side of
Baron Humboldt's Kosmos, and the Baron will not
be attered by the uxtaposition, if he has read the
book, or Professor Sedgwick's critique in the Edin-
burgh Review. The design, doctrines, tenor of the
Kosmos, are not made very clear in the Westmin-
ster Review. 1t recommends the study of both
works " as explanatory and corrective of each
other.'
