**  Feuerbacli  is  no  sneaking  enemy :  his  vocation  bears  no  analogy  to
&e  midnight  assassin  :  he  wages  open  war  against  the  received  doctrines
of  Christianity  ;  and  he  neither  gives  nor  asks  for  quarter.  *  «  •
It  is  but  simple  justice  to  say,  that  his  arguments  are  powerful  and
plausible,  and  that  if  his  theories  are  refuted,  he  must  be  met  with  the
like  weapons.  Dogmatism  will  not  do.  Arguments  must  he  used
against  his  arguments." — BinghamUm  Daily  Republican.

the  temptttion  to  unfair  advantage  or  unseemly  temper. We  can

testify  that  the  translator  has  achieved  a  very  toiigh  work  with  remark-
tthle  spirit  and  fidelity.  The  author,  though  indeed  a  good  writer,  could
hardly  have  spoken  tetter  had  his  country  and  language  heen  English.
The  work  has  evidently  fallen  into  the  hands  of  one  who  has  not  only
effective  command  of  both  languages,  bat  a  familiarity  with  the  subject-
matter  of  theological  criticism,  and  an  initiation  into  its  technical  phraseo-
logy."— Westminster  and  Foreign  Quarterly  BeDiew,  1847.
