_The Great Case of Tithes truly stated, clearly opened, and fully
resolved. By Anthony Pearson, a Justice of Peace in Westmoreland, in the
time of the Commonwealth. Harvey and Darton._--This very cheap and
seasonable tract is No. 63, and is printed for the Tract Association of
the Society of Friends. It cannot fail to excite attention.
_Suggestions on National Education, with a View to the Advantage, not
only of the Poor, but of all Classes of Society. By John Smith, Lecturer
on Education, Liverpool. Simpkin and Marshall._--This very sensible
writer maintains that Government ought to do that which no individual
has power to do, namely, to show the public what education really is,
and the best modes of carrying it forward--that the teachers of the
millions have yet to be created. He urges the necessity, the
practicability, and the benefit of his plan. We hope ere long this great
subject will have a free, full, and fair discussion in the House of
Commons.
_Reasons for Dissenting from the Church of England; showing that the
Ancient Jewish Theocracy is no Authority for an Ecclesiastical
Establishment, &c. &c. By a Country Farmer and Minister of God's Word
and Ordinances. Simpkin and Marshall_--Though we dissent from this
Dissenter in various particulars, we think every reader will see that
the "Country Farmer" is quite an overmatch for the clergyman who paid
him a visit.
_The Life of the Rev. Jean Frederic Nardin, Pastor of the Church at
Blamont: Translated from the French. By the Rev. Robert Blessley. Ward
and Co._--We have perused this little tract with the liveliest interest;
and cordially thank Mr. Blessley for translating, and Mr. T. Lewis for
recommending it. It contains an excellent example for pious young men;
and especially for those of them who are students in divinity, pastors,
itinerant preachers, and missionaries.
_The Spirit of Holiness: Four Sermons. By James Harrington Evans,
Minister of John Street Chapel. pp. 168. Griffiths._--These plain,
evangelical sermons are entitled to serious perusal. We think them well
calculated to instruct, to reprove, and to console.
_Memoir of the Rev. Basil Woodd, M.A. By the Rev. S. C. Wilks, M.A._--An
excellent Memoir, published by the Religious Tract Society.
_Puritan Farm; or Old Ways kept up in New Times. By a Puritan Family.
Ward and Co._--A very entertaining little work. We hope it will be
continued. The "spoundings" of the female labourer on the burial of
Christ are charming, and the character of the great Dr. Owen is
developed with much judgment and taste.
_A Manual of English Grammar, Philosophical and Practical, &c. &c. By
the Rev. J. M. McCullock, A.M., Minister of Kelsoe. Second Edition,
revised. Simpkin and Marshall._--We are glad to see a reprint of this
excellent "Manual," the first edition of which we recommended to the
public not many months since.
