Theology and Piety : Alike Free. By " An Old Student."
(Kegan Paul, Trench, and Co.)—The " Old Student of Manchester New College" has republished in this volume a number of addresses, &c., delivered from time to time during the last century on various occasions during the history of the institution. First we have portions of a discourse delivered on the opening of the "Man- chester Academy " (the first form of the College) in 1780, by Dr. Barnes, its first Principal. An anniversary sermon preached in 1836, an address by the Rev. J. J. Tayler (1863), another by Professor Upton (1875), various discourses by Drs. James Mar- tineau and J. Drummond, are among the contents of the volume, which, indeed, forms an interesting record of a community which has certainly done good service to the freedom of religious thought.
