SCHOOL DIVINITY IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY.

Such was the interest for this class of reading, that Panzer describes no less than 150 editions of various parts of the works of St. Augustine before the year 1500; and before the same period more than 20 editions of the works of St. Basil. Lanctantius, another of the fathers of the church, and generally distinguished by the appellation of the Christian Cicero, has six editions mentioned by Panzer. Thomas Acquinas, whose, works filled no less than seventeen volumes folio, of whom Pauzer describes two hundred and forty editions of his performances in whole or in part: he was so great a favourite, as to be called in that day, the Evangelical Doctor, the Angel of the School, the Eagle of Theologians.

ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.

MOSHEIM. Ecclesiastical History, Ancient and Modern, by J. L. Mosheim, continued by C Coote, 6 vols. 8vo. 21 2s.

This work is recommended because it is more complete than any other. It is in many points very exceptionable; and he, as well as his translator, must be considered as adverse to the Church of England. See Bishop Warburton's Character of the Work, quoted by the Translator.

A well written Church History is still a desideratum in our literature. There is a Summary, published by Collins, continued to 1819, 2 vols.

Annals, 8 vols. 8vo. 41 1s.

BURNET. * The History of the Reformation, by Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Sarum, 6 vols. 8vo. 31. 3s.

Abridged, 1 vol. 8vo. 9s.

In the Lansdown Library there is a copy of Burnet's History of his own Times, filled with remarks in the margin, in the handwriting of Swift. They are, as may be supposed, distinguished by great acuteness and wit, and not without some portion of coarseness and malevolence. Burnet appears to have been no favorite with the Dean.

Burnet I like much. His style and manner are very interesting. It seems as if he had just come from the King's closet, or from the apartments of the men whom he describes, and was telling his readers, in plain, honest terms, what he had seen and heard. Horace Walpole. SOUTHEY. The Book of the Church, by Robert Southey, 2 vols. 17 4s.

• One of the first treatises in favour of the Reformation is said, at the end, to be printed at Greenwich, by the permission of the Lord of Hosts. The new learning, as it was then called, was propagated in small pieces, cheaply printed, and what was of consequence, easily concealed. The number of printers was small. The presses were jealously overlooked by the clergy, who spared no labour or vigilance for the suppression of heresy. In the time of King Edward the Sixth the presses were employed in favour of the reformed religion, and small tracts were dispersed over the nation, to reconcile them to the new form of worship. In this reign political pamphlets may be said to have been begun by the address of the rebels of Devonshire; all which means of propagating the sentiments of the people so disturbed the Court, that no sooner was Mary resolved to reduce her subjects to the Romish superstition, but she artfully, by a charter granted to certain freemen of London, in whose fidelity no doubt she confided entirely, prohibited all presses but what should be licenced by them; which charter is that, by which the corporation of Stationers, in London, is at this time incorporated. It begins thus." Know ye, that we, considering and manifestly perceiving that several seditious and heretical books or tracts against the faith and sound Catholic doctrine of Holy Mother, the Church," &c. &c.
