IIORNES INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF ; , THE SCRIPTURES Since we reviewed this book in 1819, it has become a uew work : the two volumes have ex panded to four, mucn valuable '-matter having been added to each successive edition ; and this last edition has arriyed at that stage in which a considerable portion of the work has so far re ceived the last improvement of the author, as to Lhave been committed to . stereotype plates.1 to meet the large and increasing demand for 'co pies, We look back with some exultation to out ori much esteemed work.

V , : . , i. r r but when the work first fell in our way. if ap peared at the first glance a heavy forbidding com pilation: yet upon examining its contents, - we ventured to tell our readers that it was ihc most important theological work of tho kind which has appeared in this or any other country for some years';" that "it must eventually! make its way to publicity ;" that pio well assorted theolo gical library can be long without it:" and that even "those students in divinity whose pecunia ry resources uonor, admit oi wanton expenditure, would do well, even on the score of economy, to mciuae inese volumes in tne list oi tneir libra ' 1 ?! .1 1 . .1'. , ry-" We recommended to the younger clergy. and to students for"Holy,Orders,'"to make this worita text-uooK ior me critical portion oi ineir i '. .i i:r .i i .

" . .'il I ' j !' -F ! F We took up these volumes with a view of giv ing an outline of the new matters introduced in the later editions; but we find them too numer ous to catalogue; and we must: cover the whole with a general statement1, that they are of great interest and importance, f We observe,' for in stance, in the second vblame of the edition now before us, a new chapter on the Literary History of the text of Scripture, especially ot the Old Tes tament. In' this chapter is not only interwoven the account of the several theoriesrespecting re- tensions' or .families of MSSl' ; forrnerly printed; but ve liave for the first time given to the En- .no nlii,tM.t nf CVnU'oKnn. i loll irauci a uiwuo uuduuv vt, uviicii o im u- ry,'drawrn froin his Biblicocritical Travels, in German, and from his Latin Prolegomena to his edition of the New Testament.

CHURCIIE S STEAM CARRIAGE. ... - l : The Londoh Journal states that this lone pfo- jected invention had reached something1 like ma-. turity. The carriage, winch is fitted up with much style and elegance, was launched lor the first time on the public road on the evening of 'Friday' the '25lh of September. Its machinery , had never, before that evening, m a connected form, been actuated by power of steam and its- performance was such as to produce a iore pro- inising expectation of realizing the problem of steam propulsion on ordinary roads, that ar.y' ef fort of the sort that has been heretofore seen. " Many improvements have been adopted in the construction otthe boiler, and which have tended very materially to the accomplishment pf a per- jeeuy sale ana cneciive locomotive machine. The boilers, engines, and their appendages, are all enclosed within a square apartment1 of about cim ieti nign anu long, and live irct vn!f. which forms the central part before and kdiiuc to vyhich are attached capaciotis coach louiek Corresponding in appearance and capable of lidd ing ten persons, m each ; and connected to theso are open -cabriolets, affording accommodation fur eight persons more; making twenty -eight iusid? passengers. Jeiow are receptacles for luggage, ' and on the roof accommodation for thirul persons exclusive of the conductor and guard, fi'hough itilc was expected from a first attempt a more' successful result could not have been anticipated.
