Hughes' System of embossed Writing for the Blind . Some time since we noticed this important invention , by one of the sightless , in aitl of his fellow sufferers . As a brief description cannot do justice to the invention , we shall merely observe that the combinations may be very readily understood , and when acquired the learner will be introduced to a stenographic system of singular power . A visit to the establishment for the blind , 14 , Great Portland-street , Cavendishsquare , will repay the trouble of investigation .
Christian Loyalty . A Sermon . E . and G . H . Croydon . Teignmouth . In God ' s words princes must learn how to obey God antl govern men , in God ' s word subjects must learn obedience both to God and their princes . Homily against Wilful Rebellion . The title page of this discourse bears the above very apposite quotation , and we are somewhat gratified to observe that the author , the Rev . John Travers Robinson , Rector of Saint AndrewHolbornis not onlfearless denunciative in
, , y his views , but has on due consideration doubtless reflected that all merciful Providence is even more merciful than just or he would not have selected his text from the 21 st verse of the 22 nd chapter of Saint Matthew . The principle of obedience is fairly examined and explained , and the christian family will find much to claim their attention in a perusal of the sermon . The publication is undated , nor is any intimation given when or where the sermon was preached .
The Status of the Jews in England . By Charles Egan , Esq ., of the Middle Temple , Barrister-at-law . Hastings , Carey-street . We have to regret that the very late arrival of this interesting and important exposition , will prevent that careful analysis it so justly merits . To say that we have perused it with satisfaction would be to dismiss it with faint praise . It deserves to be studied . To give even a hurried notice is scarcely in our power . The learned author will kindly
overlook the cursory manner in which we glance at his valuable labours . It may be remembered , that on the election of Baron de Rothschild as M . P . for London , when a petition was threatened against his return , Bro . Egan gave an opinion that the return was valid—that there was no law against Jews , native-born subjects , being elected to parliament . This was admitted in both houses , subsequent to the expression of that opinion . The formal words at the conclusion of the oath of abjuration ,
" on the true faith of a Christian , " might , the author affirms , with propriety be omitted , in administering the oath to a Jew . In the " Status , " the author offers good grounds for this opinion . The work ranges , in its examination , from the time of the Normans to the present day . History , general and legal , has been studied , and the British subject , the British Jew in particular , will thank the author for his examination into a leading question of such paramount importance .
Defects in the practice of Life Assurance . W . S . Orr & Co . This brochure has reached us too late for critical notice . Most of the suggestions for the remedy of defects appear to be practicable . The uses and advantages of Life Assurances are dwelt on , and the observations on the constitution of offices are indisputably worthy of attention . Still we think the word of promise , however well meant , can hardly be kept , as in a case where the assured may have died in Sierra Leone , for example , without having given notice—is such a policy payable ?
