'Let us cleave to this great doctrine, the actual atonement made for sin by the death of Christ,-with all the firmness and determination of soul, arising from a conviction of its supreme worth and importance. It was on the cross that the atonement was made. From that cross, on which the agonized sufferer exclaimed, It is finished, did there ascend up to heaven the smoke of a sacrifice, the efficacy of which extends through all periods of time, and comprehends all the successive generations of men, from the first parent of our race, down to his last descendant. In Gethsemane he received from the hand of the Father the cup of trembling, and on the hill of Calvary he drank it off, and thus tasted death for every man. It was there, and then, that he stretched forth his bleeding hand, and gathering together the sentence of death, which had extended over the whole human family, he took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness.' p. 46.

NOTICE.

Art. X. Tales of the Saxons. By Emily Taylor. Foolscap 8vo,
pp. 234.
London, 1832.

A VOLUME of pleasing tales, intended to present children with a 'series of lively pictures of England', in the days of Alfred, Edward the Confessor, and the Second William. The modesty with which the Author speaks of her own performance, would disarm criticism, even were there less to commend in the tasteful execution of her meritorious, but difficult task.

ART. XI. LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Shortly will be published, in one volume 12mo, a Treatise on the Universal Headship of Christ, by the Rev. John Jefferson, Stoke Newington.

The Translator of the "Tour of a German Prince", is now translating the Correspondence of Schiller and Goëthe, which, in the German, forms six volumes; but large omissions will be made, to adapt it to English taste.

Early in June will be published, in 32mo, uniform with the Morning Portion ", a new edition, with the Author's last corrections, of Dr. Hawker's Evening Portion.

Preparing for publication, Traditions of the County of York; First Series. To be published on the same plan and uniform with the "Traditions of Lancashire." By J. Roby, M.R.S.L. It is the Author's aim, in these Traditions, to illustrate obscure portions of English history, manners and customs now obsolete, and to portray the very actors and the scenes in which they lived-the costume and character of the age in which they appeared. He would fain hope they will not be found an unimportant addition to our existing stock of knowledge, as a collection of legends having truth for their basis, however disfigured in their transmission through various modifications of error, the natural obscurity arising from distance, and the distorted media through which they must necessarily be viewed. Every tale will be embellished by an engraving or a wood-cut, illustrating the localities it involves, from drawings by the best painters, and executed in the highest style of the art. The publishers have only to state, that the very great expense which must unavoidably be incurred, renders it necessary that a certain number of subscribers' names should be procured before commencing the work; they solicit aid therefore from all who may have the opportunity and wish to patronize the undertaking, pledging themselves that no time shall be lost in completing the publication.
