Bible Characteristics. By Chamotte ElizabethPartridge and Oakey-The name which this volume bears will guarantee the spirit and ability with which it is written, and the aim which is manifest throughout. Charlotte Elizabeth, although a somewhat rigorous Church woman, was an excellent expounder of the pernicious principles of Popery, and a powerful antagonist to that evil system. Where Protestant principles were concerned, she kept no terms; where the condition of friendship wtfs sfleqce, personal friendships were at once given to the wfndB, if they Uerb to be the price of treason to the cause of God. It comes out in the Preface to this pretty Volume, that she was the Authoress of the well-known work,44 Perils Of the Nation,M—a fact of which, till now, we were notawaie. It instated that she sent forth the work anonymously, lest the fact of its female authorship might deter senators and legislators from its perusal. This anonymousness, however, could scarcely suffice to command for it a passport as a masculine production. We remember well being exceedingly perplexed about its intellectual character, since it seemed neither the production of a man nor a woman 1 We knew not what to make of it. There was knowledge, emotion, and eloquence r but still there was something about it soft and pulpy, which strongly attracted our notice, and led us to put it down to the authorship of some highly-nervous sentimental gentl -man accustomed to read, if not tor write, religious novels, and to pour out strains of fantastic poetry. The present publication comprises number of comments upon Scripture, and will be found solid, lively, and edifying.
