41. CONCLUSION, with Answers to fome Queries.

From the foregoing lift it appears that most of the important queftions, arifing from the ftudy of the New Testament, are confidered in thefe volumes; and our enumeration of their contents, though it may prove uninterefting to many of our Readers, will be very acceptable to others. They will be thereby enabled to fee where they can apply for the solution of particular difficulties. Dr. Prieftley, who is the principal contributor, has here communicated feveral of his moft curious and original theological effays and fpeculations. Not to enlarge on the pieces of Moyle, Duchal, and Tomkins; the benefactions of Meffrs. Scott, Buncle, Brekell, Cardale, Mottershead, Merivale, Lindley, Willets, Toulmin, Williams, Palmer, and Hazlitt, come from gentlemen already known by their different publications. Other perfons of learning and judgment have now appeared, for the first time, in the literary world. If we may be allowed to diftinguifh any one from the reft, we must beg leave to do it with regard to Mr. Turner of Wakefield. Next to Dr. Priestley, he is the greatest contributor; and, in all his articles, he hath fhewn himself to be a most able and judicious critic. It is to the honour of the REPOSITORY that it hath brought fuch a man into public view; and we learn, with pleasure, that we are fhortly to expect from him a feries of notes upon the Evangelifts, in the intended English edition of Dr. Priestley's Harmony.
