BY DIR. EDWARD BEECHER.

BY DIX. EDWARD bEECHEk.
This Remarkable Work has reached iis Fifth
Edition, in the brief space Of Four Months :
A success unprecedented in Theological Pub
licati0ns!
"A N impression has already been produced by this
IA masterly treatise, the most profound, wide
reaching, and permanent
1t is perfectly manifest to all competent observers,
that are upon the of theological discussion,
the most comprehensive, RADICAL and portentous the
world has seen. To this discussion this book
leads the way, with momentum irresistible. There
is not question in Theology which is not destined
to como up for new and thorough settlement in the
light Of this final development
All those who have Theological doubts and diff
cutios should examine the solution this work affords
Those who have no doubts, but who wish to study
the history Of opinions in tho past and to keep
with the developments of opinion in the future will
grievousy they neglect to make themselves IA
miliar with this book 1t contains the seeds Of the
thinkings and dobatings of the next hundred years
The reception of this work by the Theological
press of the country, has been significant. Equally
declining to accept his conclusion they do it OPP
posite and contradictory grounds. One half Of the
Theological press endorses the major premise Of the
argument, and denies the minor. The other half en-
dorses the minor and denies the major. And rs they
probably both right in their positive element and
wrong In their negative the work has received Vir
tual Endorsement of the most powerful kind.
As regards the ability Of the work, and its claims

From tho UniVosalia Quarterly and General Re
Dieto, Jam, 1854.
We have the novel spectacle OF man clinging
with mastery grasp to all the fundamentals Of Or
thodoxy, yet dealing IL blow beneath

It.would be difficult to find within tho limits of
hundred pages any treatise essay that COM

right principle in his theory Of typical Interpretation
