Excerpt from The Divine Authority and Perpetual Obligation of the Lord's Day: Asserted in Seven Sermons, Delivered at the Parish Church of St. Mary, Islington, in the Months of July and August, 1830 To refer to the authors where references to the question, or brief discussions occur', would be endless. Lightfoot, Watts, Doddridge, Walker of Truro, Scott, and most practical writers, have something valuable. I have found interesting papers in the 8th volume of the British Review, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and the Eclectic Review of the last year. The Bishop of Down and Connor has also recently published an'excellent pamphlet on the subject, chie y in refutation of the idea of an anticipated narrative, which he has treated with more force of argument than Hey or Dr. Dwight. This last name deserves especial notice - Dr. Dwight, as well as his illustrious countryman, Edwards, has honored the American School of Theology - rapidly rising into importance - with a most convincing and able discussion of the question in all its branches, both theoretical and practical - this perhaps forms the best afour modern treatises; though it would be unjust to Dr. Humphrey of Amherst College, to withhold a tribute of applause from his excellent Essays. I spare a'direct refer ence' to one or two publications in our own country of a late date, because I trust maturer re ection will lead the wri ters to withdraw statements which are alike insulting to revelation and injurious to the youthful student.
