ART. XXXVIII-A Sermon delivered at the Unitarian Chapel, Chichester, April 21, 1816, on Occasion of the Death of Thomas P. Powell, M. D. By W, J. Fox. London, R. Hunter, 4to. 1816. Pp. 16.

DR. POWELL was a person of great worth. His anxiety for the welfare of his family impelled him to exertions beyond his strength. His benevolence was conspicuous in the professional attendance he bestowed on the poor, and he had the highest ideas of what is due to integrity and honour, and what is much more important, his whole conduct was governed by them.

ART. XXXIX.-Three Discourses on the Ease of the Animal Creation, and the Duties of Man to them. By the Rev. JAMES PLUMPTRE, B. D. London, Darton and Co. 12mo. 1816. Pp. 78.

THESE Discourses comprehend the substance of a sermon on "The Duties of Man to the Brute Creation," preached before the University of Cambridge, on Sunday, May 8, 1796. It was delivered on the occasion of one of the visits of the present Chancellor, the Duke of Gloucester. It is justly observed, that humanity to the inferior animals, since the period mentioned, has been recommended from high authority; it has been the subject of discussion in Parliament; annual sermons at Bath and at Southampton have been devoted to it, and a society has been established at Liverpool for the protection of these helpless creatures. Several valuable works have also been published in their defence, and among these are Mr. Young's Essay on Humanity to Animals, and Mr. Pratt's poem of the Lower World.

ART. XL.-Essays to do Good, addressed to all Christians, whether in private or public Capacities, by the late Cotton Mather, D. D. F. R. S. A new and improved Edition, by GEORGE BURDER. London, Williams and Son.

Dr. Cotton Mather, the author was born in that town in 1663: the intention of the work is to recommend upon every occasion of life, even the most trifling, that there should be a constant endeavour to do good.
