Revealed Characteristics of God, by G. BARROW KIDD, and Bible
Lives from the History of the Old Testament, by BOURNE HALL DRAPER, seem toe purely devotional for a miscellaneous journal to meddle with at length. They do not appear to aim, like Professor VAUGHAN in his late work on the Corruptions of Chris- tianity, at blending history and theology together, making the former conduce to the support of the latter; nor do they, like Dr.
WARDLAW in his Christian Ethics, compare the philosophical speculations of men with what the author conceives to be the ex-
press directions of the Deity, and thus combine profitner learning with divinity. On the contrary, judging from a slight inspection, their wisdom is not of this world, and therefore beyond our jurisdiction.
