"Hogarth was one of those great men whose works are destined to survive all the changes of taste and all the caprices of fashion; for valuable and interesting as they would be did they do no more than preserve a faithful picture of contemporary manners, they are to be still more highly estimated for containing those strokes of nature and of genuine wit that are intelligible in every country and in every age. In dignity of subject, in grandeur of composition, in the technical beauties of execution, in designs, in chiaro-scuro, in exactness of imitation, in elegance and in gracefulness, Hogarth has been excelled by several; but no artist has ever yet produced works that rival in expression and in character those of the great ethic painter works that will always continue to be admired in proportion to the care with which they are studied,"

HONE, W. APOCRYPHAL NEW TESTAMENT, being the Gospels, Epistles, and other Pieces, now extant, attributed in the first Four Centuries to Jesus Christ, His Apostles, and their Companions, and not included in the New Testament by its Compilers. Translated from the Original Tongues, and now first collected into one volume, with Tables and various Notes and References. 8vo, cloth, new. 1820. $1. 927

It is uncertain whether the books of the New Testament were declared canonical by the Nicene Council, or by some other, or when or by whom they were collected into a volume; it is certain, however, that they were considered genuine and authentic by the most early Christian writers, and that they were selected from various other Gospels and Epistles, the titles of which are mentioned in the works of the fathers and the early historians of the church. The books that exist, of those not included in the canon, are carefully brought together in the present volume. They naturally assume the title of the Apocryphal New Testament;" and he who possesses this and the New Testament has in the two volumes a collection of all the historical records relative to Christ and his Apostles now in existence. and considered sacred by Christians during the first four centuries after his birth. As a literary curiosity this work has attracted much notice, and we conceive that the editor has rendered an acceptable service to the theological student and the ecclesiastical antiquary. The lover of old literature will here find the obscure but unquestionable origin of several remarkable relations in the "Golden Legend," the Lives of the Saints, and similar productions, concernthe birth of the Virgin, her marriage with Joseph, the Nativity of Jesus, the miracles of his infancy, his laboring with Joseph at the carpentry trade, and the action of his followers. Many valuable pictures by the best masters, prints by the early engravers, particularly of the Italian and German schools, woodcuts in early black letter and black books, and illuminations of missals and monastic MSS. receive immediate elucidation on referring to this volume, and are without explanation from any other source.

"Is it possible that the spells of apocrypha should juggle men into such strange mysteries?"-Shakespeare. It is related of Johnson, by his pleasant biographer, that he said "he loved the old black letter books: they were rich in matter, though their style was inelegant. Deeper read in the earlier writers than the great moralist, an erudite antiquary of our own day observes, that "with respect to what is often absurdly denominated black letter learning, the taste which prevails in the present times for this sort of reading, wherever true scholarship and a laudable curiosity are found united, will afford the best reply to the hypercriticisms and impotent sarcasms of those who, having from indolence or ignorance neglected to cultivate so rich a field of knowledge, exert the whole of their endeavors to depreciate its value." The truth of this has been subsequently attested by the popularity of the author of 'Waverley," who, aided by ancient lore, imparts to his scenes and portraits of other times the truth and high finish of Gerard Dow and Denner, and the dignity and grace of Titian and Vandyke. The papal hierarchy, from accident, fanaticism, and policy, pursued too often a spurious plan of forcing mankind to become technical automatons of rites and dreams, of words and superstitions; and supfeast applied to enforce a long continued exertion of porting a system which, if not originally framed, was at transferring the world into the hands of ecclesiastics, and too often superseding the Christianity of the Gospels by that of tradition, policy, half delirious bigotry, feelings often fantastic and unenlightened enthusiasm. Until the time of Luther, religion was regarded as an art; it was the occupation of the clergy, who taught it as a mystery and practised it as a trade. From the manifold corruptions of religion resulted the gross practices and delusions which are noticed in Mr. Hone's work, which he compiled with much painstaking perseverance from MSS. and black letter books in the British Museum. It is a collection of facts, not inferences. It commences with the Coventry Mysteries, mentioned by Dugdale in his "History of Warwickshire," published in 1656. The volume is a companion and necessary supplement to the "Apocryphal New Testament," and a most curious, instructive, and interesting volume it is.
