Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and General Review, 1835, Vol. 18 So much has already been known of this remarkable lady, from her numerous writings and the biographical notices, which long before her death were in general circulation, in America as well as in England, that scarce any memoirs, that should now be written, could add much to her celebrity; though they might present, as do these, many interesting facts. They who have read, and we grieve for those who have not, The Search after Happiness, The Shepherd of Salisbury Plain, T is all for the Best, Tom White, the post-boy, Celebs in Search of a Wife, Village Politics, Strictures on Female Education, or Thoughts on the Manners of the Great, -need not be told, or, if they do, let these volumes instruct them, that Hannah More was the youngest but one of five sisters, all of whom dwelt to gether from their infancy in one family, and died unmarried in a good old age, She with a fame that heroes might envy, and they highly esteemed for their exemplary and singularly use Jul lives. Their father, Mr. Jacob More, was educated at Norwich with a view to the Church, by a brother of the cele bruted Dr. Samuel Clarke; but, disappointed in his _profss sioual prospects, he became master of a seminary for boys at Stapleton in Gloucestershire, where, in the memorable 1745, Miss Hannah was born. When she was twelve years old, her parents removed to Bristol, intending that their daugh-o ters should receive such an education as should qualify them to procure a respectable independence by the establishment of a boarding-school. Such a school was first opened by the eldest Miss More, who was not then twenty-one. She took charge, among her other pupils, of Hannah, who was then scarcely twelve. Thus, by the excellent Character and good sense of Miss More, the eldest of the family, was laid the foundation of a seminary, which afterwards flourished greatly.

Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and General Review, 1835, Vol. 17 Animated' by such feelings, we may now regard Paul, in what must have been one of the most interesting moments of even his eventful life, preparing himself on the hill of Mars to address an auditory of Athenians on behalf of Christianity. He would feel the imposing associations of the spot on which he stood, where justice had been administered in its most awful form, by characters the most venerable, in the darkness of night, under the canopy of heaven, with the solemnities of religion, and with an authority, which legal institution and public opinion had assimilated rather with the decrees of conscience and of the gods, than with the ordinary power of human tribunals. He wodld look around on many an immor tal trophy of architect and sculptor, where genius had triumph cd, but triumphed only in the cause of that idolatry to which they were dedicated, and for which they existed. And beyond the city, clinging round its temples, like its inhabitants to their enshrined idols, would open on his view that lovely coun try, and the sublime ocean, and the serene h'eavens bending over them, and bearing that testimony to the universal Creator.

Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and General Review, 1840, Vol. 27 This distinction, I admit, is very general. But I think it will be found, without being very accurate, to'answer the practical purpose which I have in View. Reading, doubtless, may com bine both instruction and amusement, and the reader may seek both. In history, biography, and travels, he may Often find both. But every one must be aware, that there is a great deal of reading among us, merely for entertainment. Novels are commonly read with no other View or thought. On the other hand, I wish it to be considered, that there is a kind of readin which is of a far higher character. A man may take a booe with the express intent to think over it. His purpose is not passively to receive what the book communicates, but to think, to examine what the book says; to give his mind a task; to strengthen his powers. His mind is a crucible and what he takes into it, is to be melted, and moulded into a form that makes it his own makes it his own, not by reception, but by re-formation not by simple transfusion, but by thorough trans mutation. And no mind is worth much, without something, more or less, of this habit. This is the essential characteristic Of an original mind. It is not, as many seem to suppose, that its thoughts are absolutely new; that no such thoughts ever entered the human mind before; but that it re-forms, re-arranges Old thoughts, and presents them in new aspects and applica tions. I dwell upon this point a moment, for in this new coun try, where we are apt to suppose that many things are new, which are old enough, it is needful that this matter be under stood. Sciolists, dreamers, fanciful and extravagant men, may have conceptions so strange, that it may seem to them and to others, that nobody ever thought the like before; and in some sense, it is very possible that nobody ever did; one may hope so, at least but the truly comprehensive and original mind knows that it is working with materials as old as the creation and that not its materials, but only its method of working, can be new, or peculiar to itself. All true progress is but the re production Of the Old, aye, and commonly of the well known and familiar, in new forms.

Excerpt from The Christian Examiner and General Review, 1833, Vol. 14 WE have little fafilt to find with this publication, except as regards the mode of getting it up. The pieces which enter into the collection, are, we suppose, perfectly harm less. No considerate reader, at least, can be injured by them, nor can the cause of Christianity sufl'er by their re publication, provided their origin and history, so far as known, he told. But it was due, we think, from the editor, in fairness, to state the principle on which they were ex cluded from the number of books esteemed of authority among Christians. The language of the Preface, too, is, in some respects, exceptionable. It speaks of the writings which compose the New Testament, as selected from the various Gospels and Epistles then in existence, by cer tain compilers, a mode of expression which, as will hereafter appear, is calculated to convey an erroneous im pression of the manner in which the volume of canonical Scriptures was formed.
