Instead of attempting to reply 10 the reasoninge
of Bishop Colenso in detail, the author Of thif
volume has brought forward an expositiou OF prinf
ciples as taught by Swedenborg, which, In hte
opinion are adapted to set aside the objections =

subject from the same point Of view with Bisho1
Colepso he 10 not surprised st the conclusions a
which be has arrived, and respects T" bis noble
Yrankness in declaring 10 the world his convictions
while he still retains profound reverence for th4
Book" But, adopting the view that in the lsn6
gusge Of the Bible, natural things are used as SYM
bols and that il is history of higher things tha1
those Of time and matter he finds what he considers
souud and substantial basis for its divine sutheu<
,icity. There probably few volumes whc9
contain more Ineligible and compact summary %

tertainng volume. 1t is full TO everaowinS
Of inst that kind Of information which
most travellers keep TO themselves. The writer
neither walks on stilts nor stiifens into mummy

al they eat and drink, dance and sing, keeps bio
eyes always open, and tells his storywith lively
JUNCTION. slight dramatic form gives animation,
to the narrative, although its piquans materiAic
make such bait superauoas.
