Christ's dying under a penal curse for sin."

Much more of

similar import might be quoted. He also argues that oczarów means "to declare just in a forensic sense, to absolve judicially." Pp. 60-1. Again:

"The orthodox doctrine of the Trinity makes subordination with equality to be found amongst the Persons of the Godhead, who exist from eternity as the Father, absolute and underived; as the Son, the eternally begotten of the Father; and as the Spirit, eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son. There is no inferiority in these Divine relationships." P. 41.

These orthodox views are mixed with and warped by the realistic theory of the unity of our race, according to which Christ became consubstantial with it, so that his acts are their acts, and his redemption universal. This, however, does not affect the orthodoxy of the view presented as to the nature of the atonement. Records from the Life of S.V.S. Wilder. Published by the American Tract Society. W. W. Smith, agent in Princeton.

This is a record of the life and deeds of one of the most eminent of our American Christian merchants. He resided many years in Paris, in the prosecution of his business, omitting no opportunity to spread evangelical religion in that metropolis, and elsewhere in France. He became opulent in early life. He consecrated his talents and resources to his Divine Master, whom he served efficiently in every sphere of life. He was for a long period President of the American Tract Society, which now publishes this memoir in honour of his memory. This whole biography shows him to have been an uncommon man. It is excellent reading for young men. They who can read it without catching some high inspirations toward all that is good and Christian and man-worthy, must be either above further improvement or below it.

The Women of Methodism: Its three Foundresses, Susanna West, the Countess of Huntingdon, and Barbara Beck, with Sketches of their Female Associates and Successors in the Early History of the Denomination. By Abel Stevens, LL.D. A Centenary Offering to the Women of American Methodism, from the American Methodist Ladies' Centenary Association. New York: Carlton & Porter, 1866.

The fitness and interest of such a work, well executed, at the present time, are obvious, and Dr. Stevens has in various productions proved himself an adept in Methodist biography and historiography. He is quite faithful in noting the thorough Calvinism of the Countess of Huntingdon. But he classes her and her circle with Methodists, on account of their association with Whitefield. There is perhaps some ground for this, although the term Methodist, in this country, now imports not

only an adherent of Methodistic polity, but of Arminianism in doctrine. But this application of the term is overdone when those Presbyterians and Congregationalists in this country, who favoured Whitefield, are styled Methodists. Our attention was recently called to the fact that, in a late History of Methodism, (we believe by Dr. Stevens), Princeton College was said to have been founded by the Methodists! The only ground for such a statement is the mere fact that its founders belonged to that class of Presbyterian ministers who countenanced Whitefield's preaching.

Natural History. A Manual of Zoology, for Schools, Colleges, and the General Reader. By Sanborn Tenney, A. M., author of Geology, etc., Professor of Natural History in Vassar College. Illustrated with over Five Hundred Engravings. New York: Charles Scribner & Co., 1866. So far as our knowledge goes of the existing books on this subject, that before us supplies a desideratum. We know of nothing so conveniently adapted, and withal so attractive, for those seeking elementary knowledge of Zoology. Temperance Recollections. Labours, Defeats, Triumphs. An Autobiography. By John Marsh, D. D., Secretary of the First Three National Temperance Conventions, and thirty years Corresponding Secretary and Editor of the American Temperance Union. New York: Charles Scribner & Co., 1866.

The friends of temperance will thank the venerable author for this contribution to the history of the great Reformation wrought on this subject within the last forty years. No other man could have written this book. Though nearly an octogenarian, he still holds the pen of a ready and vivacious writer. His eye is not dimmed, nor his natural force abated. Every important measure, and every important person connected with the progress of this cause, are here brought to view. We do not, of course, coincide with all the exegetical or ethical opinions of the veteran author in regard to all drinks capable of producing inebriation. This, however, does not hinder our high appreciation of his volume, as an interesting and valuable. contribution to one of the most blessed reformations of modern times.

Monumenta Sacra Inedita. Nova Collectio. Volumen Quintum. Epistolæ Pauli et Catholicæ fere integræ ex libro Porphyrii Episcopi palimpsesto sæculi octavi vel noni, nuper ex oriente aleato, rara textus antiquitate insigni, eruit atque edidit Â. F. C. Tischendorf. 1865. 4to. Pp. xxiii and 364..

In 1862 Tischendorf went to St. Petersburgh, to deliver up to the custody of the Czar, the famous Sinaitic Codex, which he had discovered and published. While there, he formed the acquaintance of Archimandrite (now Bishop) Porphyry Uspenski, and was shown the Greek manuscripts gathered by him in his journeys to the East. Among these there was one which he saw at the first glance to be a palimpsest, and which Porphyry had also recognized as such, but without knowing what it contained, or suspecting that it possessed any other than a palæographical value. Tischendorf's practised eye discerned enough in a brief examination to satisfy him that an uncial manuscript of the New Testament, in whole or in part, lay hid beneath the more modern writing. A few days after he was allowed to have it in his own rooms and apply chemicals to a couple of pages, with the view of restoring the faded letters. This was so successfully done, that Porphyry exclaimed in rapture, "See Lazarus risen from the tomb!" The result was an agreement that Tischendorf should take the precious treasure to Leipsic for a year, that he might master its contents. He found the task more difficult than he imagined, and more time was consumed upon it than he at first thought would be required. He succeeded, however, in reading the whole of it, with very trifling exceptions, in the course of eighteen months.

The manuscript consists of 325 small octavo pages. The more recent writing in literæ minuscule is an elegant copy of the work of Euthalius, deacon of Alexandria, on the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles of Paul, first published by Zaccagni in 1698, together with the complete text of these books. The excellence of the latter leads to the conclusion that it too was drawn from the work of Euthalius, and extracts from it will be printed in the next volume of the Monumenta. The date, as gathered from a subscription at the close, is A. D. 1301.

It is a fortunate circumstance that in putting old manuscripts to a new use the original form was retained; even the length of the lines and the number of them on a page being conformed to those which had been erased. Consequently none of the old text is cut away; only the notes on the upper margin indicating the feast-days have suffered occasionally. By a careful examination of the original numbering of the sheets, Tischendorf succeeded in restoring them to their primitive order. It appears that the old uncial manuscript contained, 1. The Acts of the

Apostles; 2. The Catholic Epistles; 3. The Epistles of Paul; 4. The Martyrdom of Peter and Paul; and finally the Apocalypse. Three leaves of the first sheet are missing, so that the extant text begins with Acts ii. 9; the last fifteen verses of the book of Revelation are also wanting. Three leaves are also missing in the catholic epistles, and nine in the epistles of Paul. All that remains is legible, with the exception of a very few verses and occasional words and letters. The inscriptions and subscriptions to the Epistles not being written with ink but with some other material, which the chemicals failed to restore, have been but partially recovered. From the character of the writing, the peculiarities of the orthography, the punctuation, abbreviations, and the use of accents and breathings, Tischendorf assigns it to the eighth or ninth century. And the correspondence of the text in general with the oldest and best authorities leads him to assign to it a very high value. It adds to its interest and worth, that uncial manuscripts of the book of Revelation are comparatively rare.

This volume contains a reprint in the uncial character of the Catholic Epistles and the Epistles of Paul, one page of fac simile being added at the end. The Acts of the Apostles and the Revelation are reserved for another volume.
