BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.
The Leonard Scott Publishing Co.,
IL Barclay Street, New York, have
lately published the British Quarter
II Review for April. We call atten-
ton, to the following summary Of the
contents:
Article L., a review of Forster's
Life of Swift begins by criticising a
notice of the same work which ap
peared in the Edinburgh Review for
January. It then discusses Swifts
literary position, gives several views
Of his life, and an estimate of his
character and writings.
y Article II. Remarks on the Greek
Epistles of Ignatius, and an exami-
nation of his testimony in matters Of
Christian Doctrine, divided into four
parts, viz: "The Trinity and Divin-
ity of Christ, the Atonement, and
kindred subjects Of Justification and
Grace, the Eucharist and the Organ
cation Of the Church and Roman
Primary"
Article III. "The Progress of Re-
form in Russia" gives sketch ofthe
establishment and abolition of serf-
dom, the present social condition,
and the effects of recent reforms in
Russia.
Article ". tsThe Bible Educator"
''The book is a medley-we use the
word in no invidious sense-of Bib
lical lore. It would be difficult to
name subject growing out of or
connected with the study of Scrip
ture, which is not treated with more
or less fulness within the compass of
these pages, and in a manner suited
to the ordinary intelligence" The
papers are contributed by clergymen
of The Church Of England, Noncon-
formist divines, and laymen, and in
50 far as it aspires to the character
Of popular encyclopedias Of Biblical
knowledge, the merits of the work
can scarcely be overstated.
Article V. The conclusion of the
article on "Disestablishment in New
England" in the January number
It treats Of the church troubles in
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, and gives quotations
from John Adams, Lyman Beecher,
DR.. Leonard Bacon and others.
Article vi. is long paper on
"Poor-Law Relief in and out Of the
Workhouse.''
Article VIZ The review Of a "bril.
Liant and able volume on the Atone
ment, which we hope will help to ar
rest the downward tendency of tn.
English Pulpit, and bring about til,
restoration Of the faith once deliv
cred to the saints -
The subject is divided into tive
parts, the fact of the Atonement
which is the general form and ex
preston of.the doctrine, and the the
DRY, which explains why the death o
Christ is the objective ground of tn
pardon of sin.
The notices of many new books
under the beading contemporary
Literature" I'll up the concluding
pages Of this number.
