The "Boston Review" is the title of a new Theological and Literary Journal, intended to represent what is known in New England as the Old Divinity or the Puritan Theology, as this is exhibited in Calvin, the Westminster Divines, and Edwards. The work is to be published once in two months, and it promises to be an able and fearless advocate of the truth. The March number contains a thorough exposure of the modern heresy that future punishment will be merely the results of natural laws; showing that God superadds to these results special, positive visitations for sin. The articles are anonymous, but among the persons engaged as contributors are Drs. Nathan Lord, Parsons Cooke, Nehemiah Adams, S. M. Worcester, and Joseph Tracy.

Sir Henry Rawlinson is pursuing, with his well known indus

try, a comparative study of ancient Egyptian and Assyrian history, as unfolded in the monumental records of those old kingdoms brought to light by recent discoveries. The Hieroglyphics are found to agree with the Arrow-headed inscriptions, and both to confirm the Hebrew Scriptures. The first clear account of conflict between the Egyptians and the Assyrians occurs in the reign of Sargon, B. C. 721-702, the king who carried the Jews captive from Samaria. The results of Sir Henry's inquiries will appear in his brother's new edition of Herodotus.

Dr. Williams L. Alexander is preparing a new edition of "Kitto's Biblical Cyclopædia." The editor is assisted by able Biblical scholars, and the edition is expected to contain the results of the most recent learning in philology, archæology, and exegesis. It is to be hoped that the work will be purged of the old leaven of rationalism which leavens the edition now in use.

The Rev. Donald M'Donald has published, in two volumes, an "Introduction to the Pentateuch," vindicating its genuineness as the work of Moses, and its inspiration: and pointing out the various providential ends for which it was designed. Among these are, the self-revelation of God; a description of man's condition as first created, next fallen, and then redeemed; the discovery of redemption and a future life; and the preparation for the introduction of the Gospel by the instrumentality of a chosen people.

Mr. J. Nichol, of Edinburgh, has issued proposals for the republication, in uniform style, of the more important and scarce productions of the Puritan Divines. The chief authors are Manton, Goodwin, Adams, Bishop Reynolds, Gibbs, Brooks, Clarkson, and Charnock. Six volumes are to be published annually for about ten years, at a guinea per annum : each volume to contain from 500 to 600 pages. The present cost of the works selected is about $350; and they are to be afforded at about $55 in the new edition. Mr. Nichol will make arrangements for their distribution in this country.

"English Puritanism and its Leaders, Cromwell, Milton, Baxter, Bunyan," is the title of a new work by Professor Tulloch, of the University of St. Andrews, and author of the "Leaders of the Reformation."

The April No. of the "Edinburgh Review" contains an article on the Essay and Review controversy, with a decided leaning towards the neological side of the debate. The course of the leading quarterly organs of the religious sentiment in Great Britain is characteristic. First comes the Westminster, fanatically infidel; then the Quarterly, vigorously orthodox; then the British Quarterly, learned and sound: now the Edinburgh, demisemi-Christian. For the honor of Old Presbyterian Scotland, a current rumor may be mentioned, to the effect that the Edinburgh Review is controlled and published in London, not in Edinburgh lucus a non lucendo. E.
