REVIEW OF LITERATURE .
A Sermon preached before Several Bodies of Accepted Masons , in St . 31 ary ' s , Newry . By Rev . AA ' alter B . Mant , M . A .

Pulpit Lectures . B y Rev . H . R . Slade , L . L . B . Sherwood . It
affords us great pleasure again to introduce to our readers the " Translator of the Defence of Socrates ; " we feel well assured that all who have been so fortunate as to have read the "Translation" will form a favourable opinion of whatever proceeds from the same chaste and classic pen ; neither will their raised and sanguine expectations be disappointed by the perusal of -Air . Slade ' s " Pulpit Lectures . " This volume is possessed of two features which strongly recommend it . Small , in point of dimensions , but containing a great deal of important matter for the meditation of the pious and humble Christian . It is much to be lamented
that in the Lstabhshed Church there are two parties among the Clergy , who not unfrequently array themselves against the other , under the cognomens of " orthodox" and " evangelical ; " and when we take up a volume of divinity , whether it be of a polemical character or practical nature , we see at the very first glance , at the very first page , to which party the author is an adherent and strenuous advocate , and we learn the calibre of the divine from the preface to his work . Such a glaring
defect is happily not the case in the little volume before us . The style is elegant , yet , at the same time , simple and chaste : the contents evince the author to be well acquainted with the subject on which he writes , and a mind free from prejudice and alive to conviction . These "Pulpit Lectures" contain in a small compass a body of divinity ; Mr . Slade has indeed not shunned to "declare the whole counsel of God , " proclaiming no doctrine to please manand withholding no doctrine through fear of

In a word , we recommend the work to every impartial searcher after divine truth , as a valuable gem of theological lore , being both doctrinal and practical , both orthodox and evangelical ; we particularly advise the younger portion of our readers to possess themselves without delay of Mr .
