The text surveys virtue and pleasure as moral gauges, notes Pirie’s views on governors and despotism, and contrasts obedience to law with voluntary citizen loyalty. It cites Mill on government shaping individual conduct and outlines Pirie’s compact approach to religion morality and politics as sciences.
The column reviews The Increase of Faith by a Free Church minister noting its practical aim to grow faith and calm fears. It also critiques Argustus Le Gros's Poems, finding them pure but weak and not fit for enduring value. How to Study the New Testament Epistles by Hegenay Alford is presented as a compilation of his Sunday Magazine papers, marking the second volume in the series.
The critique praises a university press project translating and updating Paul Epistles with corrected readings and notes, while noting disagreement with Alford on eschatology. It also reviews Vittoria Colonna Life and Poems by Mags Henry Roscoe, finding the biography handsome but dull and unengaging despite its illustrated pages and potential to inspire interest in Colonna’s life and circle.
