In the first, after taking a rapid survey of the writers, ancient and modern, who have treated of the Gnostic Philosophers, the author shews the origin of their brilliant speculation, by bringing to view some of the most celebrated doctrines of antiquity. The second section is devoted to the comparative examination of the divers systems established by the three grand schools of Gnosticism-those of Syria, Egypt, and Asia Minor. In the third section he inquires into the influence which the Gnostic doctrines, in their conciliatory position, between the other schools of Christianity and Paganism, have exercised over both parties. The work is accompanied by plates, and terminates with a general estimate of the labours of Gnosticism, "-London Magazine, June, 1828. 2181*MELANCHTHON's Werke, auswahl von Koethe, 6 vols. in 3, 8vo. half calf, neat, 12s Leipzig, 1829-30 2182 MEYER'S (H.
