THE INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE IN IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING AND MORAL CHARACTER, by JOHN MATTHEWS, D. D. Professor of the Theological Seminary at South Hanover, Indiana, with a preliminary essay by ALBERT BARNES. Philadelphia, HARRISON HALL.—The object of this little treatise-which was originally published in numbers in a religious periodical--is to assert the claim of the Bible to be studied, not only as the faithful record of religion, but as a literary treasure, fitted by its style, its taste, its eloquence and its adaptation to all times, and to all states of human knowledge, to improve the judgment and purify the heart. In this point of view it must be admitted that the Bible is rarely considered, and yet it is, we think, well and successfully urged by the Rev. author, that as a classic, the Bible is only less valuable than as a book of Faith.

In order to enable our readers to judge of the general style of the book, we shall subjoin a few extracts.

The following comparison between the appearance and manner of reception at Holyrood House of George IV. during his progress in Scotland, and Charles Edward, lets us at once into the feelings of the author:

was worshipped by the devoted loyalists of that time, as a cherished idol. George might be greeted, in his splendid chariot, with cheers and smiles; but the boot of Charles is said to have been dimmed, as he passed along, with kisses and with tears!

The Chevalier triumphing as a king, was resolved or perhaps overpersuaded, to exercise a peculiar at. tribute of sovereignty, that of touching for the king's evil. The ceremony and its result are thus given:

While Charles held court in Holyrood, he revived, in one instance at least, a courtly practice which had been for some time renounced by the sovereigns of England. This was-touching for the King's evil. It is well known that not only was the superstitious belief in the efficacy of the royal touch for this Charles approached Holyroodhouse by the same disease, prevalent among the people so late as the LA REVUE FRANCAISE, No. 1: New York; Hos. path over which George the Fourth, seventy-seven reign of Queen Anne, but the Book of Common KING & SNOWDEN.—We have here a well printed years after, was drawn thither, in his daily progres.

The barbarities which followed the victory of Culloden, when the fervour of battle must have been cooled, and the victors completely assured of receiving no farther annoyance from the enemy, were such as to be scarcely credible by the present age; and the writer who now undertakes to display them in their real colors, may perhaps incur the charge of exaggeration or prejudice.
