Lowth's Lectures on Hebrew Poetry; a new edition with Notes, by Calvin E. Stowe. The present edition of this celebrated work is reprinted from the translation of Gregory, excepting that in the specimens of Hebrew Poetry the spirited and elegant Latin translations of Lowth, are retained instead of those which have been substituted by his English Editor. In the English editions of these Lectures, there are four different sets of notes, namely, those of Lowth, Michaelis, Gregory, and Henley. Such a diversity of annotators occasions considerable confusion and perplexity to the student; and some of the notes, particularly those of Gregory and Henly, are of little value in the present advanced state of Biblical study. In this edition all the important observations of the writers above mentioned, together with the results of the more recent investigations of Herder, Eichhorn, Sir William Jones, Rosenmueller, De Wette, and others are embodied in one regular series' of notes, and inserted at the end of the volume, occupying about one hundred and sixty pages.

accountable being, on the footing of its own divine institution and authority.

Truth cannot be trifled with. Men may turn away from any statement of it. They may cavil. They may object to this or that particular argument. They may set up the sophisms of controversialists. But conscience cannot be thus silenced. The broad undeniable truth is, that a day of weekly rest has ever accompanied revealed religion under every dispensation of it. A Sabbath was celebrated even before the fall. A Sabbath forms a part of God's moral law. A Sabbath is insisted upon by the prophets. A Sabbath was observed by our Lord and his apostles. A Sabbath has been kept in every church, in every part of the world, in every age since. To cavil, then, at minute omissions in the history of it, or petty difficulties in the de-* tails of its progress, is worse than folly; it is dishonesty to truth. Nor can we escape the responsibility which attaches to knowledge proffered and sat before us. There stands the institution. Great efforts have been made to impress its obligation upon the public mind. Discussions, sermons, treatises, tracts, have been circulated. Public meetings have been convened, and resolutions passed to enforce the better observance of the day. The public conscience has been aroused. God has given us a call, a special call to repent. If we refuse the call, "if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven," if we "stop our ears," if "we harden our hearts," what can we expect but to be given up to a reprobate mind, and left to our own folly and presumption? With conscience, then, is the case left to this inward vicegerent of the Almighty is our appeal. At its tribunal stands our cause to be adjudged. Let every one, then, yield to its sentence. Let every one bow to the voice and decree of this witness, judge, avenger. Let conscience stimulate us to hallow the Christian Sabbath, that coming within the sphere of the means of grace, we may actually learn the value of our souls, and the way of salvation for ourselves.

But, lastly, we have pleaded for the Sabbath, because it is an indispensable preparation for THE HEAVENLY BLESSEDNESS. Its appeal to the human conscience terminates here. Heaven or hell is at stake. We all profess to look for a heavenly rest. There are few, perhaps none,
