DIVINITY. ART. 25. Twenty-one fport Sermons, calculated for Children, and explanatory of the eflential Doctrines of Chriftianity, with a View to an adequate and early Obfervance of religious Principles and moral Duties. Izmo. 2 Vols. Booth, Duke Street, Portland Place. 1810. We fee with pleafure this judicious little work, prepared to affift the initiation of children in religious knowledge. Children, it is faid, by thofe who have obferved their propenfities, always dflike the dry method of inftruction by question and answer. Short difcourfes, adapted to the meafure of their capacities, are more likely to catch their voluntary attention; and the prefent fet, the refult of maternal experience, promife to effect the pur. pofe in a very admirable way. The prefent inftructress, having the advantage of first opening this career, has occupied all the most important fubjects. Her first volume treats on the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, with an additional fermon, explaining the nature and contents of the five books of Mofes. The fecond vo lume explains the nature of baptifm, gives a sketch of the be ginnings of facred hiftory from the Old Teftament, with an ac count of the principal fafts and feafts obferved by our Church, and of the Saints whose days are kept as feftivals. All this is done in a clear and easy style, not only intelligible to children, but, we fhould conceive, attractive to them; and we may truly say of the volumes that they exhibit a well-formed defign, executed with no little skill. We shall probably fee more infantine fermons, but we do not expect to fee them better calculated for their purpofe. ART. 26. An Addrefs to the People of Great Britain. By the Rev. J. Map, Vicar of Bofton, Lincolnshire. 8vo. 3 pp. Jacob, Peterborough. 1810. A very animated and found exhortation to the paying due at tention to the word of God, THE BIBLE; as we love God, the truth, the Church, our own fouls, our families, and the human race. It does not appear whether this fman work was printed for fale, but we recommend it to be fo, and wish that it may find many purchasers and diftributors. ART. 27. Try and Truft. Trust in God, and try to pleafe Him, A Word to the Abfenters from the Church. 8vo. 3 PP. Ja cob, Peterborough. 1810. Another falutary admonition, from the fame quarter, against the the Neglect of Public Worship. To a fermon on the fourth Com mandment, this would be a strong peroration, ART. 28. The Prophecies and Gofpels reciprocal and infeparable and the Divinity of Chrift effentially necessary for Jesus, Deifts, and Chriftians: being a new Defence of the eternal Pre-existence, miraculous Conception, Defcent and Afcent, Interceffion, Supreme Godhead and Manhood of our everr-blessed and adorable Lord and Saviour Jefus Chrift. In Answer to a remarkable Vifitation Ser mon, preached at Danbury, in Effex, and published alfo by the Rev. Francis Stone, M. A. F. A.S. late Rector of Cold Norton, Effex. Seriously and difpaffionately fubmitted to his Confideration in particular, and to that of Unitarians in general; for the common Good of the Chriftian World, and the World at large. With an Appendix, containing a new Analyfis of the Scripture Evidence for the true, proper, perfonal, and eternal Divinity and Humanity of our Redeemer, God and Lord. By the Rev. George Nichaljon, Late Curate to the Rev. Dr. H. W. Coulthurft, prefent Vicar of Halifax; but now Curate of Taxall, Cheshire; and Author of Evangelical Difcourfes, Effays on Theological Subjects, Letters to Dr. Priestley, Sermons at Halifax, New Improvements in Grecian Education, Vindication of the Bible against Deifm, Addrefs to the Chriftian World, &c. &c. &c. 8vo. 86 pp. 2s. 6d. Manchefter, Clarkes; London, Rivingtons. 1810. A title page, fo ample, tends to shorten the critique upon any work. Mr. Stone will find in this tract many ufeful fuggeftions. and admonitions; prefented to him with kind and good wishes. "I fhould be forry," (the author fays, we believe, very truly), "that any principle lefs than fympathy, pity, or brotherly love, fhould infpire my breaft, while I am profecuting his caufe, the whole fum and fubftance of whofe example, religion, and doctrine, is exprefsly calculated to exalt, vindicate, and recommend." P. 3. "I do moft fincerely hope your otherwife well informed mind is not fhut against conviction; and that you will re-examine the Prophecies and Gofpels, and take the whole word of God (which fhall ftand for ever, whether you take it or not) in its own divine connection." P. 27. Mr. Stone's Vifitation Sermon is examin. ed, from the beginning to the conclufion of it; and its weak parts are diftinctly pointed out. Mr. N. fometimes prefents to us ideas and phrafes, lefs grave and dignified than we could wish; an ab. ftinence from which we ftrongly recommend to him in future. Of thefe, a remarkable fpecimen occurs at p. 84, "Chrift a better carpenter than the Unitarians make him." MISCELLANIES.. ART. 29. A Trip to Coatham, a Watering Place in the North Extremity of Yorkshire. By W. Hutton, F. A. S. 8vo. 75. Nichols. 1810, A reference to our preceding volumes will fatisfy the reader, that the public has often been indebted to this entertaining and venerable writer. His Tour to Scarborough, Remarks on North Wales, and on the Roman Wall, with others of his works, have received; and will justify, our commendation. The prefent vo. lume, like the former, contains a great deal of antiquarian know. Jedge, and is enlivened by facetious obfervation and entertaining anecdote. The author informs us, that he has by him in manufcript various other works, of which, for our own parts, we should rejoice to fee one at leaft, namely, the Memoirs of Mr. Hutton's Life. We are well pleafed with the idea that this is hereafter to fee the light. Coatham is a town at prefent very little known as a watering-place; but it is emerging, as the writer fays, from its infancy, and has of late years confiderably increased in extent. Mr. Hutton recommends it for its purity of air, and indeed, he ays, there cannot be a more healthful fpot. It stands in the parish of Kempleatham and Redear, the adjoining hamlet is that of Marth. This latter has Lord Dundas as Lord of the Manor; the former, Sir Charles Turner. Both places will, ere long, be better known. ART. 30. The Covent Garden Journal. Embellished with Four Views 2 Vols. 8vo. Pr. 11. 6s. 6d. Stockdale. 1810. This is a fyftematized, and we doubt not an accurate hiftory, by Mr. J. J. Stockdale, of the difgraceful fcenes, which for fo long a period were fuffered to take place at Covent Garden Theatre. The author vindicates the caufe of the O. P.'s in very lofty lan guage, but offers no arguments against the Proprietors which are fa tisfactory to us. We were always of opinion that the Proprietors were juftifiable in demanding an increase of price, and that they who did not choose to pay for a luxurious indulgence, had the obvious alternative and the most effectual mode of fhowing their difpleafute by ftaying at home; the rúde, indecent and vulgar elamours which fucceeded the opening of the Theatre, dishonoured the Metropolis; nor do we think Mr. Stockdale much entitled to public thanks for recording them in two large octavo volumes. ART. 31 An Illaftration of Living Artifts; or a Guide to the A convenient book of reference, in a place like London, cannot eafily fail to meet with encouragement. The prefent will be -found found ufeful to those who want to find the refidence of a particu lar artist, whofe name they know, and to those who may have occafion to confider, whom they thall employ in a given clafs of Artifts. The claffes are fufficiently fub-divided, being eighteen in number, befides a fupplement of omiffions. They are thefe . Hiftorical. 2. Poetical. 3. Moral. 4. Portrait. 5. Land fcape. 6. Sentimental. 7. Humour. 8. Rural, 9. Drama. fo: Animal. 11. Marine. 12. Miniature. 13. Still Life. 14. Flowers. 15. Fruit. 16. Birds. 17. Sculpture. 18, Ar. chitecture. But though each artift is affigned to one principal clafs, the branches which he has occafionally exercised are alfo added in a parallel column. It would certainly be defireable, a the author intimates, that Engravers should be added; but they would alfo require claffification. ART. 32. An Abridgment of Univerfal Hiftory: adapted to the Ufe of Families and Schools; with the appropriate Questions at the End of each Section. By the Rev. H. J. Knapp. 12mo. 3s. 6d. Law. 1809. This feems a well arranged, and is certainly a neat and conve pient manual for the ufe of young perfons. For this purpose it may be properly recommended. The queftions at the end of each fection are pertinent and ufeful, and may be made proper fubjects for exercifes. MONTHLY LIST OF PUBLICATIONS.
