Two noble duodecimo volumes, just from the

already attracting inquiry from thoughtful
readers and those who delight in historical in
vestigation. The first is by Dr. Robert Tum-
bull, and is entitled Christ IN History The
scope Of this splendid work is very extensive /;
no less than to consider all ancient and modern
ages, races, governments, social systems, re-
lgious, and PHILOSOPHERS, with reference TO
their approach TO or departure from the Saviour

entertains TO history, all history, is illustrated
in popular rather than u philosophic manner,

and astonished at the depth and catholicity of
