racter of the high priests at Rome, retaining also in their own hands the disposal of bishopricks, and regulation of ecclesiastical matters, England alone is unguarded: our Queen has not even a veto on any popish appointment, and the most atrocious bulls, filled with incentives to treason, and with the most "damnable heresies," enforced by that terrible power into which some insight shall be given in our next, are received, published, circulated and enforced through the length and breadth of the land.

The volume before us contains some of these bulls; together with documents of the highest value and importance connected with the present state and doings of popery in these realms. A masterly "Letter dedicatory" is prefixed, addressed to the Queen, occupying thirty-nine pages, and giving a clear view of the whole subject-matter of the book. Of course, we cannot expect it to reach the royal eye, or ear: but the faithful watchman to whose vigilance under God we are indebted to these appalling discoveries, has acted on his high commission as delivered to Ezekiel, than whose his mission is not less important, either as concerns the glory of God or the rescue of a church and people, from the ruinous consequences of national rebellion and unbelief. "Thou

shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear." The warning word is here faithfully spoken: the accursed apostacy is shewn openly working among us: the consequences of continuing thus to mock the Lord by giving place to his worst enemy are set forth: and the event is equally certain as in Ezekiel's case. "And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet

shall they know that there hath been a prophet among them."

This book is of such immense importance that we would suggest not only its admittance into every library, book-club and reading-room in the country, but also that neighbours should join in purchasing a copy, as a joint possession, and a valuable loan. We have not been deficient either in examining the character, or watching the proceedings of the papal enemy but for such disclosures as this book makes, we confess we were scarcely prepared. Neither is their important bearing confined to either sex, or to any order of persons: there is not a man, woman or child in the British empire whom they do not directly and intimately concern. Divide the country into

two portions, and it will be found that of the one class each individual is bound to become, at any time, a homicide; of the other each individual is actually doomed to the knife; and both on the principle of 'killing no murder.' As witness this clause in the third canon of the fourth Lateran council, now in full force in these realms.

"But let the catholics, who, having taken the sign of the cross, have girded themselves FOR THE EXTERMINATION OF THE HERETICS, enjoy the same indulgence and be armed with the same privilege as is conceded to those who go to the assistance of the Holy Land."

This going to the assistance of the Holy Land was, as our readers well know, to expel the dark and cruel Saracens, and to plant on Mount Zion the standard of the far darker and more cruel Papacy. The indulgence granted was a full pardon for all sins committed: the privileges accorded included a high

state of glory in heaven. The blood of a murdered Turk possessed, according to these blasphemers, greater virtue than the blood of the Redeemer; for it washed out all the sins of his murder, and secured to him the prize of eternal life. Every Protestant who reads these pages must know, or ought to know, that the like merit attaches, and the like recompense is solemnly promised to any Romanist who, as a Heretic, shall put her, or him, to death. This may be doubted, it cannot be denied. We are surrounded on all sides by the large and increasing multitude of Romish subjects; and it really is worth our while to investigate this point, and to ascertain whether the charge made by Mr. McGhee be proven or not. We shall find that it is so, beyond the possibility of a doubt on our part, or an evasion on that of Rome.

THE INVALID'S HYMN BOOK. With an introductory Preface by the Rev. Hugh White, A.M. Second Edition, revised and enlarged. Robertson, Dublin.

A SELECTION, judicously made and arranged, applicable, I. To a reflective and awakened mind in seasons of sickness: II. To the humble penitent, and the rejoicing believer: III. To seasons of severe suffering, mental or bodily: IV. To the dying Christian. A very consolatory and strengthening address, from the pen of that tried Christian Minister the Rev. Hugh White, precedes the hymns. The volume is really a boon for the sick chamber, being neither so large in size as to fatigue the hand, nor so small

in type as to pain the eyes of an Invalid. Its contents are of the most spiritual class, and from the best works of our Christian poets.

FANNY AND MARTEN; a sequel to the Nursery Magazine. By Mrs. Cameron. Author of "The two Mothers," "Emma and her Nurse," &c. &c. Houlston and Co.

THERE is a great deal of choice information on subjects both human and divine, contained in this very pretty little book. We have a sketch of Ecclesiastical history; a history of Spain. One of the vegetable kingdom, and a biographical account of Joshua, all adapted to children of tender years. The Protestantism of the work is bold and unshrinking: its author's millennial views very pleasingly brought out and the interest of the main story kept up the while. We consider it likely to be a great favorite with sensible children; and no one need hesitate to place it in their hands, in days when not even nursery tales are overlooked as means for conveying false impressions, and bending infant necks to the yoke that will sooner or later receive the full imprimatur of Rome.

A BOOK FOR THE SABBATH; in three parts. By J. B. Waterbury. Author of "Advice to a young Christian," and "The happy Christian." Religious Tract Society.

WHO shall estimate the importance of this subject! The title page informs us that it is divided into, I.

Origin, design, and obligation of the Sabbath. II. Practical improvement of the Sabbath. III. Devotional exercises for the Sabbath. Our Author has treated it with the seriousness that so weighty a matter demands, and has produced a very useful book, whether practically or devotionally considered. The strong tide of avowed infidelity on one hand, and fearfully loose profession on the other, is sweeping away this great bulwark of our prosperity-the Lord's express covenant with a people. The two ex

tremes of high and low in society seem to be alike bent on breaking through its sanctity; and the contagion of foreign example is vitiating also the middle classes. Such a work as this cannot but be acceptable to all who regard the glory of God, and desire to see their country prosperous.

DISCOURSES FROM ST. PAUL'S EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS and other passages of Scripture. By the late Rev. Charles Neat, Curate of Hatfield, Herts; and formerly British Chaplain at Leghorn. Seeleys, Hatchards, Nisbet.

A FORMER Volume of discourses from the pen of this faithful, beloved and lamented servant of Christ, has met with a reception so encouraging as to induce a second selection from his manuscripts, which we rejoice to think will be found no less valuable than its predecessor. We need not remind our readers of the touching circumstances connected with his abrupt removal; how, after labouring long and successfully abroad, and in the heart too of a papal territory, he
