An Exposition of the Thirty-nine Articles. By Robert Louis Cloquet.
(Nisbet and Co.)—" A Protestant Exposition of our Pro- testant Articles" is Mr. Cloquet's description of his work. There is no doubt abont the *Protestantism of tho exposition, if we take pp. 382-400 as a specimen. A more savage attack on the Roman Com- munion we have never read. We have no intention of examining it, but would suggest the question how such genuinely Christian lives as by common consent are found in that communion, are possible in the "Synagogue of Satan," which Mr. Cloquet finds Rome to be. The temper in which this volume is written is to be deplored. Though considerable labour has evidently been spent upon it, its learning has a certain second-hand look. On the whole, it cannot be said to be a valuable contribution to theology.
