Extracts from Notices and Reviews of the Theological Class Book.

It indicates much thinking and careful investigation, and a pervading, stirring mind, conversant with theological studies. Rarely do we find so much, and such various religious instruction, as is here contained, in about two hundred pages. The mode which the A thor has adopted, that of question and answer, is certainly the best adapted to the purpose of instruction, and admits of the most matter within the same compass. The work is rendered more valuable by the illustrations and proofs adduced from Scripture, and placed at the bottom of the page. The volume before us will be found highly useful to preachers, to instructers of Sabbath schools, and a proper book for the higher classes in such schools.-Christian Magazine.

The very title of this work suggests its utility. The system of divinity inculcated in it is strictly evangelical, and the mode of inculcation such as to engage the attention of the young. The great truths of religion are clearly and concisely stated and properly arranged, so that their mutual connection and dependence may be seen; and, what is of more consequence, they are solidly supported at every step by quotations from the unerring Word of God. It designed for the benefit of the higher classes in Sabbath schools, and for the use of societies such as exist in some parts of our country, and might with profit be more generally established, where young people are associated for the purpose of theological instruction and improvement. We think it adapted to be extensively useful.-Spirit of the Fil grims.

The theological sentiments of the Author are well known, and the public will be prepared to expect in the book now offered to them a formulary of sound doctrine drawn from the Word of God. In this they will not be disappointed. It is not only a judicious and valuable publication, but exceedingly well timed. We are very glad to have it in our power to reco nmend a book well calculated to instruct the mature Christian, and yet so plain that children may learn from it "what be the first principles of the oracles of God." It well merits the attention of those who instruct youth in the principles of religion; and it is hoped the book will soon find its appropriate place in every Sabbath school and theological class in the land.-Boston Recorder.

It is a judicious and valuable publication, and at the present time much needed. The work discovers a high degree of discernment in theological science, and must have been prepared with great care and labor. It is written in the best kind of didactic style-perspicuous, and at the same time comprehensive. It is exactly adapted to those who have just let the Sabbath school, and is calculated to be an important help to ministers who have theological classes. It is very desiracle it should be introduced into all our societies, and that it be made a study by both old and young.-N. H. Observer.
