and atonement of the Redeemer. Meantime let
Christians who accept revelation in its integrity, throw no stumbling
blocks in the way of earnest and candid inquirers, such as Mr. Furness.
Is it not true that, dazzled by the _Divine_, we have been too little
touched by the exquisite, compassionate, faithful, and child-like
_human_ character of our Master? Truth seeks the light, and it cannot
fall too fully on the perfect; every ray serving but to reveal some new
perfection. Let those of fuller faith rejoice in the beauties forever
developing in the character of the Holy Victim. Let them patiently pray
that those who love Him as an elder brother, may gaze upon His majesty
until they see in Him the risen God.

We have found this book interesting and suggestive. It is disgraced by
none of the flippant and irreverent sentimentalism which characterizes
M. Renan.

Carlyle; a sufficient guarantee that the spirit and beauty of the
original are fully rendered. The Analects are translated by the
brilliant writer, Thomas de Quincey.

Richter died while engaged, under recent and almost total blindness, in
enlarging and remodelling the Campaner Thal, or Discourses on the
Immortality of the Soul. 'The unfinished manuscript was borne upon his
coffin to the burial vault; and Klopstock's hymn, _Auferstehen wirst
du!_ 'Thou shalt arise, my soul!' can seldom have been sung with more
appropriate application than over the grave of Jean Paul.'

The works of Jean Paul require no praise from the hands of the reviewer;
his name is a true 'open sesame' to all hearts. Not to know him argues
one's self unknown. Some of his finest passages are to be found in the
Campaner Thal. It was written f
