Thine eye, Thine ear--they are not dull; Thine arm can never shortened be: Behold me here!--my heart is full---- Behold! and spare, and succour me. No claim, no merits, Lord, I plead: I come a humbled, helpless slave: But, ah! the more my guilty need, The more Thy O glory Lord, to save. REVIEWS. _Revealed Characteristics of God: in a Series of Essays._ By G. BARROW KIDD, Minister of Roe Street, Macclesfield.--Westley and Davis. Who Mr. Kidd is we know not, but we have read his eighteen essays with great satisfaction; and we shall be greatly surprised if they do not contribute to make him far more widely known than he has been. The subjects are as follow: "On the Divine nature--On the Eternity of God, in contrast with the Duration of Man--On the Act of Concealment, as containing the Divine Glory--On God, as the Dwelling-place of his People--On Ezekiel's Vision of the Divine Glory--On the Equality of all Periods in the Sight of God--On the Divinity [Deity] of Jesus Christ--On the Revealed Representation of Jesus Christ's two Natures--On the Incarnation of the Word of God--On the Design of the Death of Christ--On the Atonement of Jesus Christ--On God, as the Original of Man's Love to his Maker--On the Supremacy of Jesus Christ--On the Deity as in Jesus Christ, and in him alone--On the Deity as in Jesus Christ, and in all believers--On the Extent and Surrender of Jesus Christ's Administration--On the Blessedness of Jesus Christ--On the Worship of Heaven." All these subjects are, it is obvious, important, evangelical, and interesting, in a very high degree, to those who believe in a divine revelation. The _spirit_ of these essays is eminently devotional; every essay is full of Christ, and he is "all in all." The writer believes all the great articles of the gospel system, as they are commonly held by evangelical Christians. Nor does he make any affectation of novelty or paradox, though, probably while unconscious of it himself, he has given us many original and uncommon thoughts. There is no pompous announcement of something to be expected very new, and recondite, and far removed from the beaten track. A holy unction from above seems to have rested on the writer; and though he is very grave and serious throughout, the reader will find some lively and tender appeals to his conscience and to his heart, mixed with long trains of elevated sentiment, and chains of reasoning very close and compact. The _method_ is admirable for its simplicity. The _lucidus ordo_, which Horace prescribes, he has uniformly observed. Always anxious, first, to investigate the true sense of the scripture which he has selected for the foundation of his essay, some of his elucidations, without any display of critical apparatus, are singularly happy.
