A Triad of Essays. By a Reconciler. (Murray and Co.)—The

author has written three essays on the "Inspiration of Nature, of Genius, and of Scripture." They are supposed in a mysterious and metaphysical manner to reconcile the phenomena of the two former with the divine revelation contained in the latter. The following sen- tence will give an idea of the style in which they are written, and to those whose convictions are likely to be influenced by this kind of thought we shall leave them :—"Our highest intellect can only just apprehend a revelation of God as the instrument of all love, eventuated by unerring wisdom, and thence evolving humanity into the special limitations of time (or succession) and place (or individual restriction), without himself being bound by either."
