$Joh. Picus, Mirandulanus Comes, usus est. Hamburgi et Lipsie, 1715—33, 4 tomis, 4to.: 6. Jo. Georgii WaLcui1 Bibliotheca Theologica Selecta, literariis adnota- tionibus instructa. Jena, 1757—8—62—65, 4 vols. 8vo. All who are conversant in sacred literature have borne willing testimony to the correctnessand research of Walch, whose work will always remain a production, admirable for the diligence and for the extensive reading and accuracy which it evinces. The sound judgment, remark- able in other works of this theologian, is conspicuous in this publication. All possible aids for theological literature are here embraced. The whole is well arranged: with regard to many books, their contents and value are stated, and directions are given where more extensive in- formation is to be obtained. Of many important works an extensive and accurate literary history is given. All departments of theology have a rich collection of books pertaining to them described, and abundant materials are furnished for the history of religion. The third and fourth volumes are chiefly interesting to Biblical students. How much the author of the present work is indebted to the Bibliotheca Theologica Selecta, the frequent references made to it will sufficiently attest. In 1770, Walchius published a Bibliotheca Patristica in one large volume 8vo. : it contains an excellent account of treatises on the lives and erudition of the Fathers of the Church, and on the editions of their writings. A new edition of this Work, much enlarged and improved, by J. T. L. Danzius, was published at Jena‘in 1834, also in one volume 8vo. 7.

A Course of Lectures, containing a Description and Systematic Ar- rangement of the several Branches of Divinity, accompanied with an Account both of the principal Authors and of the Progress which has been made at different Periods, in Theological Learning. By Hersert Marsn, D.D. [ Bishop of Peterborough.] London, 1810—1823. 8vo. Seven parts of these Lectures have been published. They embrace almost every topic of Biblical Criticism and Interpretation, and also the genuineness, authenticity, and credibility of the Scriptures; and are particularly valuable for their bibliographical and critical notices of the principal writers who have treated on these subjects. 8*. Lectures on the Criticism and Interpretation of the Bible, with two preliminary Lectures on Theological Study and Theological Arrangement : to which are added two Lectures on the History of Biblical Interpretation. By Herbert Marsu, D.D, Bishop of RGA OROUE Ns London, 1828. New Edition, 1838. 8vo.

By the Rev. James Towntey, D.D. London, 1821. 3 vols. 8vo. “‘ The ample volumes before us comprise a rich fund of instructive and pleasing inform- ation on the subject of Sacred Bibliography. They have been compiled from a great variety of publications, many of them inaccessible to the generality of readers, and some of them of extreme rarity.” .... ‘* The industry and the accuracy of Mr. Townley will entitle his volumes to the approbation of the critic and the patronage of the public. They afford a more comprehensive view of the progress of Biblical Translations and of the Literary and’ Ecclesiastical History of the Holy Scriptures than is to be found in any other work.” (Eclectic Review, N.S. vol. xviii. pp. 386. 507.) 10.
