MgMoRIALs OF EARLY CnRisriANiTy.-
By James G. Mail. author of 'Foot
steps Of our Forelathers." With il
lustra;ions. Boston: Gould & Lin
coin, 1853.
The | resent volume. in the language
OF the author, is an attempt TO convey,
in form which may not lie unaccepta-
BILE TO the general reader, the important
facts OF early ecclesiastical history, to-
ge,her with such illustrations as mod
ern literature may suprly. The author
offers II as an humble effort To commu-
nlcate valuable knowledge, and 10 deep
eli the foundations OF Girls ian faith
and practice 1t is his unhesl,al'ng be-
lief that, as Christianity isa system Of
divine origin it can only be truly un-
dcrstood by approaching lis source
But the history of Chris,'s Church. SO
far as i: has not been recorded by in
spired pens, is open TO all the aids
which learning and criticism can iur-
nish, and which on this subject have
not been applied IN vain. The author
reioices to believe that The forms in
which personal religion was exhibited
by the Alblgen,es, the Reiormers, tie
Purl,ans, and the NonconIormIstr, were
substantially Identical F; and that their
leading doctrines were colncidcnt with
those Of The early Christians in Their
best periods. Nevertheless instead ol
holding that modern ecclesiastical wri-
tings, have merely tended 10 obscure in
por ant truths, it Is his conviction that
German errors have received no more
fatal blow than from some Of the criil-
cisms OF existing times esl eciaiIy from
that which Is lurni he'd by the arqulsl-
ton OF the !ong-lost work Of Hyproly-

to the ground the cherished hypolhes's
Of Strauss and his loliowers,- that tie
Gospel oi ] 'ha was written in the sec
ond cent ry, and wns. therefore, cor
jectural and imaginative rather than Il
real history.
To maintain neutrality between con-
hIctlng sentiments on important point ;
! has been no part OF the writer's object.
But the present work is not in'ended to
! be polemical. II on some minor ques-
ions the author has not hcen able TO
uttAs a formal "deliverance," he hopes
twill neither be regarded as arising
from Indifference TO truth or from Il nor

from "A conviction that many questions
otherwise important appear small when

satvalion.'
The work evinccs the most extensive
