poetry, of all the trees of our country, whether indigenous or exotic, that any reader can desire; while the good taste and real ability with which all is accomplished, enhance its authority and add to its interest. For the gentleman whose taste seeks a beautiful expression in the arrangement and ornamenting of grounds, or the practical cultivator, or the scholar, or the mere reader, we should suppose the volume to possess more than ordinary attraction and value.
We have to regret again the unavoidable exclusion of a large part of our Notices.
Dietlein W. O. Das urchristenthum. Primitive Christianity: an examination of the conjectures of the School of Dr. Baur of Tübingen, concerning the Times of the Apostles. A very conclusive refutation of the opinions of one of the most decided and extravagant of the Rationalistic School; and is said to be valuable not only on its own account, but as a striking indication of that change of opinion which is going on in the religious literature of Germany.
Heringa, J. Opera Exegetica et Hermeneutica, Edidit, &c. H. E. Vinke. A valuable digest of the principal exegetical works of Heringa, especially those relating to the New Testament. These are known to scholars to be valuable.
Von Raumer, R. Die Einwirkung des Christenthums auf die Althochdeutsche Sprache. An ingenious attempt to show the effect of Christianity upon the development and establishment of the German language. The work is spoken of as falling short of the distinguished author's fame, and as being hardly worthy of the interesting subject.
Theremin, Dr. F. Demosthenes und Massillon. A treatise on Homiletics, viewed in connection with Oratory in general, which is highly spoken of as ingenious and striking. The highest praise is bestowed on Massillon, as an orator. Such a work is much needed.
Noack, Dr. Ludw. Der Religionsbegriff Hegels, Ein Beitrag zur Kritik der Hegelschen Religionsphilosophie. This work was published in Darmstadt in 1845, and is said to expose the radical misconceptions and errors of the Hegelian religious philosophy with great acuteness and candour.
Schegg, Peter. Die Psalmen ubersetzt und erklärt für Verständniss und Betrachtung. Schegg is a Catholic, but his work has great merit for its industrious comparison of the old versions, and its faithful adherence to correct principles of interpretation. The old interpretation of the Messianic Psalms is adhered to.
Niebuhr, B. G. Geschichte des Zeitalters der Revolution. The famous Lectures on the times of the Revolution, delivered by Niebuhr in the University of Bonn in the summer of 1829, are here first gathered together. The long delay has been owing to the indifference or unwillingness of Neibuhr's son, who assumed the editorship of his papers. The frequency with which they have been referred to, and the distinguished fame of the author, have given them great interest. They are said, however, somewhat to disappoint the high expectations that have been raised.
