We have first a preface, containing a general sur vey of the writer's sentiments and intentions, with the whole of which that is of a doctrinal or historical nature, we perfectly coincide; though in various points that relate to the faculties of taste and judgment, and more particularly in his objections to the style and phraseology of our established lection, we cannot accompany the author quite so cordially.
