[ocr errors]

No statesman, no politician, no student of history, can fail to derive instruction from this volume. In some respects so strikingly different, yet in this main feature Mr. Maurice's lectures on Jewish History resemble Carlyle's History of the French Revolution, only that for the 'eternal laws' and 'inexorable destiny' of the lay preacher, the Christian professor of history substitutes with no shamefaced periphrasis the action of a personal God, whose absolute will struggles with the reluctant wills of men, and out of the struggle gradually emerges harmony, submission, and the kingdom of heaven." SPECTATOR, Jan. 22.

We recommend this volume to the careful study of our readers. They will find in it not only rich helps, but also strong attractions to the intelligent reading of the Prophecies." PROSPECTIVE REVIEW, Feb. 1853.

"Must have our unqualified praise."-CHRISTIAN TIMES.

"Whatever obscurity there may be in our Author's other writings, here at least there is none. We cannot but rejoice that it is so, and that thus so much that is true and valuable becomes popular."

SCOTTISH ECCLESIASTICAL JOURNAL.

"Evince not merely undiminished but increased intellectual power. The tone is practical and healthy."-ENGLISH REVIEW, April 1853.

"It is an admirable critical History of the Hebrew Polity. The inspired history of the Kings is closely adhered to. We have a deeply interesting review of their reigns-when the Prophets were the central lights. The author of this volume has taken occasion to expound with peculiar clearness the cornection of the Prophecies with the history." KITTO'S JOURNAL, April 1853.

"The literary merit of the volume, and its bearing upon social and political questions, warrant a fuller notice than Sermons can usually claim at our hands. We gladly quote a passage, which contains a specimen of the vigour and the beauty so often to be admired in the volume before us."-GUARDIAN, April 13, 1853.

We must be satisfied with exhibiting its character, and asking for it that deep attention which we think it richly and preeminently deserves. . The deep insight shown in the treatment of the subject, and the freshness and originality which pervade it, the delicacy of thought and robustness of sentiment, the profound truths exhibited in strong lights, and the practical lessons for the day and for all times, which are uttered with rare beauty and power, these characteristics belong so fully and richly to this volum., that they impose a silence on our criticism."-NONCONFORMIST, April 20,' 1853.

"Inestimably valuable."-SCOTTISH ECCLESIASTICAL JOURNAL, May 19, 1853. ambridge.

tion and earnestness, beauty and power, a truly philosophical spirit.
They are models of their kind.”—BRITISH QUARTERLY.
