never saw any one lost upon a straight road.' This is a straight road;-to restrain treason, to punish sedition, to disregard clamour, and, by every possible means, to better the condition of the Irish peasantry, who are not more miserably ignorant than they are miserably oppressed. Give them employment in public works-bring the bogs into cultivation-facilitate, for those who desire it, the means of emigration. Extend the poor laws to Ireland;-experience may teach us how to guard against their abuse-they are benevolent, they are necessary, they are just. Lay that impost in such a proportion upon the absentees as may, in some degree, compensate for their non-residence. Do they deserve to be spared? During the last great dearth that afflicted Ireland, in 1822, the absentees from a certain western county were solicited to assist the subscription raised by the resident gentry, landholders, and clergy. They drew annually from that county eighty-three thousand pounds, and the whole sum received from them, in answer to the application, was eighty-three pounds, —not a farthing in the pound! Introduce the poor laws, and the landholders, whether resident or absentee, will heartily co-operate in bettering the condition of the poor, and in removing any surplus population. Better their condition thus; educate the people; execute justice, and maintain peace ;-and Catholic Emancipation will then become as vain and feeble a cry in Ireland, as Parliamentary Reform has become in England. Let everything be done that can relieve the poor-everything that can improve their condition, physically, morally, intellectually, and religiously ; and let us stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.' * Parl. History, vol. ii. p. 120. NOTE on Blunt's Veracity of the Gospels.' At the time when pages 316 and 317 of this Number were passing through the press, we had not happened to see a little volume recently published, under the title of The Veracity of the Gospels and Acts, argued from the undesigned coincidences to be found in them, when compared first with one another, secondly with Josephus; by the Rev. J. J. Blunt, Fellow of St. John's, Cambridge. This is a new application of the principle on which Paley formed his Hora Pauline; and the execution is in a high degree meritorious. The ingenuity of many of Mr. B.'s sections might stand a comparison with any in his predecessor's masterpiece; and the clearness and liveliness of his language are such, that we cannot too earnestly recommend the work to those parents who feel the want of books calculated to interest, as well as to instruct, young readers. We have only one apology to offer for noticing so valuable a volume in this irregular shape; namely, that what has been said, in this Number, of the general character of the Hora Paulina, is exactly what we should have to say over again, were we to review formally The Veracity of the Gospels and Acts.'
