Dutch 1705-1707. There is, it is believed, no translation into Latin or English. A friend who has it gives me the account in the note, of this, and of other Dutch ecclesiastical histories.* Spanheim refers to Triglandius as giving the best accounts of the rise of Arminianism.

This has been noticed under a previous head.

The General Historians of the French Church, the Samusarthans, Dupliex, Le Cointe, and Longueval, are too voluminous for a private library. Thuanus is an invaluable general history from 1543 to 1607, in 7 vols. folio, 1733-or 11 vols. 4to. 1740, in French, with notes.

*The Dutch Ecclesiastical Historian, John Uitenbogaart, died at the Hague in September 1644, at the age of 88. His history of the Reformation was published in 1646. James Trigland, the elder, was minister of Amsterdam from 1610 to 1634. He was present at the Synod of Dort in 1618-1619, and was Professor at Leyden in 1634, where he died in 1654. He presented his history to the States of Holland in March 1650, under this title 'Church History, including the heavy and distressing disputes that have taken place in the United Netherlands, with their conclusion and remarks upon the history of John Uitenbogaart.' Gerard Brandt published his first volume in 1671, and his second in 1674; and omits no opportunity of finding fault with Trigland. The books of Uitenbogaart and Trigland are both thick folios. James Leydecker was minister at Middleburg. His first volume in 4to. pp. 719, was published in 1705, with a Dedication to the Provincial Synods of South and North Holland. John Brandt, the son of G. Brandt, threatened to answer it, and published a copy of satirical verses. Leydecker's second volume pp. 549, was published in 1707; of which the main object was to prove that the sufferings of which the Remonstrants complained were brought on them by their own crimes and misconduct. An Appendix follows, respecting some late occurrences, an account at considerable length of various books which have been published, for and against the Remonstrants: a brief view of the artifices used by the Remonstrants in propagating their opinions, and lastly a few pages to show that the doctrine of the Arminians respecting Justification was unsound.

BAXTER (Richard). Narrative of his Life and Times. Folio, 1716. By

A very instructive and entertaining work respecting one of the most interesting
periods of English History. Allowance should be made for the imperfection of
every human writer, and for his peculiarities. Bitter animadversions were pub-
lished on this work in 1696, entitled Vindicia Anti-Baxterianæ.
CALAMY (Edm). Abridgment of Mr. Baxter's History and continuation.
4 vols. 8vo. 1713-27, and Defence against Ollyffe and Hoadley. 3 vols.

BUNYAN (John). Life, by J. Ivimey. 12mo. 1809.

CALVIN (John). Memoirs, by Mackenzie. 12mo. 1818.

Almost a continued panegyric on this great Reformer. Lives which enter more
into the fallen nature, even of God's best servants, are more valuable, though
Calvin's holy piety and active labors were indeed such as strongly to commend
his principles. Calvin's Epistles, in his works, would have furnished much in-
teresting additional matter to this Life.
