THE

BRITISH CRITIC,

FOR APRIL, 1815.

ART. I. A practical Treatise on the ordinary Operations of the Holy Spirit. By the Rev. G. S. Faber, B.D. Rector of Long Newton in the County and Diocese of Durham. 8vo. 256 pp. Rivingtous. 1813.

MR. Faber is well known to the public as an interpreter of prophecy; and the several volumes which he has published upon that inexhaustible subject, though far from being all of equal merit, have upon the whole gained him a reputation, which will probably attract the attention of a numerous class of readers to any work bearing his name as its author. The present volume has reached a second edition; and thus sanctioned it seems to claim a place among those publications, which, while they have defended or explained the doctrines of our excellent Church, have also dignified and exalted its literary character. Whether this claim can be justly or safely admitted, it will now be our endeavour to ascertain, and we shall make no apology for having hitherto delayed the enquiry. In the present state of literature, no Review can notice every volume which issues from the press; alf the legitimate purposes of periodical criticism will be fully answered, if those works are selected for examination, which, by their extended circulation, are likely to influence the opinions, morals, or taste of the country. We will not then hesitate to confess, that had not Mr. Faber's "Practical Treatise" passed into a second edition, we might perhaps have excused ourselves the task of reviewing it at all. Had it descended quietly to obli vion, we should never have stood forward to "drag its frailties from their dread abode :" a feeling of sincere respect for some of Mr. Faber's previous labours would have induced us to be silent, where we could not approve; and we should have joined readily with the public i admiring his talents as a commentator on accomplished prophecies, and in forgetting his failure as a practical expo.itor
