is "a graduate" 'But, whoever ~ = ,n"s ne
made tne fauilne writings subject of profound
study. He is convinced that all the epist,es
commonly attributed to St Paul are eenp;na
except the epistie' to the Hebrews. which
'could not have come from him" He rejects
the hypothesis of inspiration, and throws doubts
on the origin of the Acts of the Apostles. 1t
will be seen, therefore, that "a graduate is a
man of independent thought who is entirely
free from the restraints of dogmatic theology.

God Nan is further discussion of the oues
toin of the nature of Jesus, by the author of
Credo, Dr. L. I. Townsend, Professor in the
Theological School of Boston University. 1t
Is based on series of lectures delivered in
Music Hall, Boston, in 1869. The author views
MS subject from the orthodox standpoint, con-
tending most strenuously that Jesus must have
been the basest deceiver or filed with the
grossest ignorance, or else have possessed the
perfectly clear conviction that he was essential
ly, nay, really, God. Some of the views. how
ever, the author fears will be understood as
heterodox or concessions to liberalism: but IL
dses not appear to US that there are any yery
strong grounds for such apprehensions. pub

The April number of the Anerican Journal
ofthe Medical Sciences is at hand, and fully sus-
tains the well-earned reputation of this valua-
BILE quarterly as the leading medical periodical
OF the country. 1t contains fifteen original
memoirs and reports of cases, the most promi-
nent articles being an able essay on Ricketts,
and very interesting review of the scientific
testimony in the recent trial of Mrs. Wharton
for the murder of Gen. Ketchum. The rest of
the magazine is occupied with the transactions
of societies, reviews, bibHographical notices,
and the usual quarterly summary of improve
ments and discoveries
1t is constantly fresh surprise to us that
any journal should persist in such photography
as colour" "honou," and the like, for which
