" The supernstnral Iratbs of revelation wen re?
vealed to the minda of the Mcred writers not to their
pens' and fingers' ends, and an distinet from the
dead letters b which they may be clothed." Revela?
tion had thoa an existence, it is inferred, before the
characters of Holy Writ, and wonld oontlnae to e*!*t
in the minda of men, though all the Bibiee in the
world were lost. If this principle be aecapted, it
might relieve the natural anxiety of many plon?
minds with regard to the criticisms of Bishop
Colenso, and othsr write? who are reputed to ba
of a de*trucdva character. Nor, according to this
book, does the doctrine of ioipiratiou prranppose
the entire freedom from error, lu the Bible, with
reaped to detail? that do not belong to religion*
faith or morals. Hsnce, u might be preeumed, the
author is no advocate of the literal construction of
lbs account of the six day*' creation, or of the
general delsge, but folly adopts the ground indicated
by the pregrau of scisntifis research. The discus

ti.au ; hat of any other mt? in Europe. M. Laboulaye.?

tiau more especially to topics connected with tha

admirer of American inttliuiious, al.hongh by na
mt ans blind to the defects io iheir practical, sociaj
woiking, a firm believer in American progren, tu|
a Seen, Lut friendly, critic of American character and
manners. The work b-fore us ii ! uied on the plea-mag

nage. It it remarkable for the intimate knowledge
which it betrays of American peculiariliea, and tha
lively linn.or of ita comu.euti on various pbdses of?
-al and domes' ic life. The translation ii ipiriteM
ai.d graceful, mud evidently true to the dr_j._tio
