As to _style_, we think his _forte_ is in strength and vigour. Some long sentences (with parenthesis after parenthesis) involving thought within thought, have reminded us of the essays of our celebrated friend John Foster. We have observed many passages of great sublimity and splendour; and there are many of great depth, in which he finds "fountains below fountains," to borrow his own words, when traversing the ocean of "the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ." Where Mr. Kidd studied, or to what school he belongs, we have never heard; but he is evidently a profound, original, independent thinker, writing out of his own mind. He has taken the thoughts, he says, "out of the mine of revealed truth." At the same time, it is pleasant to observe that he every where discovers a deep reverence for scripture authority. He is penetrated too with a strong conviction of the limits of all created minds. With chastened feelings he delights to soar aloft. He spreads his wings, and pursues a well-sustained upward flight, gazing with a strong and steady eye on the Sun of righteousness, as the proper object of all human and all angelic contemplation. A few words from the "advertisement" may be acceptable to our readers. The author mentions "the fact, that no two persons in any world entertain precisely the same intellectual views; and that, consequently, every sincere contemplator of revealed beauty, whatever may be his capacity, has it in his power to make broader the reflected light of God's word; and that the utmost efforts of human beings on earth, however diversified, and however harmonious in their diversity, will be no more than an approximation to the revealed mind of God." The volume is neatly got up, and printed with remarkable care and accuracy. Our limits will permit only a few extracts.
