CAMBRIDGE.

The Vice-Chancellor having issued a notice to the Members of the Senate, that on the 11th ult. the voting for the selection of a design for the New Library would take place; the three plans proposed were those of Mr. Cockerill, Messrs. Rickman and Co., and Mr. Wilkins. At the close of the voting, at two o'clock, Mr. Cockerill's plan was declared to be chosen by a large majority.

At the same congregation the following grace passed the Senate:-To appoint the Vice-Chancellor, the Master of Jesus College, Dr. Haviland, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Worsley, Mr. Willis, and Mr. Hymers of St. John's College, a Syndicate to consider and report to the Senate whether the design selected for the New Library, be in conformity with the instructions given to the Architects.

The following report has been made to the Senate :

They have examined Mr. Cockerill's design with reference to the instructions given to the Architects, with regard to the nature, extent, and arrangement of the accommodation required, and they are of opinion that it is in conformity with those instructions.

With respect to the probable cost of the buildings to be erected in the first instance, they have made inquiries of Mr. Cockerill, who is of opinion that the portion of the design which is marked in his drawings (see Portfolio, No. 5,) as purposed for iminediate execution, and which comprehends all the accommodation immediately required by the instructions, may be built and prepared for the reception of its fittings, for a sum not exceeding 25,0001. Mr. Cockerill, however, declines pledging himself to this precise sum, as the amount

of the expenditure may be materially affected by the nature of the stone and other materials employed.

The Syndicate lately appointed to consider and report upon the expediency of purchasing the Museum and Anatomical Preparations of Dr. Macartney, the Professor of Anatomy in Trinity College, Dublin, have made their report to the Senate. This report strongly recommends the purchase, and it is believed that a grace will shortly be introduced to carry the recommendation into effect.

CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER.

JULY, 1836.

REVIEW OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.

ART. I. Ecclesiastes Anglicanus: being a Treatise on the Art of Preaching, as adapted to a Church of England Congregation: contained in a series of Letters to a Young Clergyman. By the Rev. W. GRESLEY, M. A. Curate of St. Chad's, Lichfield, and late Student of Christ Church. London: Rivingtons. 1835. 8vo. Pp. xvi. 472.

OUR views on sermons and sermon writers have been detailed at some length in our critique on Mr. Simeon's works in the three first numbers of our sixteenth volume. The subject, however, is one of great extent as well as importance, and admits continually of new illustration. It is therefore somewhat surprising that so little has been written on it in a country where this species of writing is so much cultivated, and which may more than challenge competition with every other in the world in regard to the eloquence, profundity, and doctrinal instruction of its preachers. Our Barrows, Tillotsons, Taylors, of other days,— and our Blomfields, Bensons, Dales, of the present, are only individual stars in a galaxy of sermon-writers; and yet we are not aware that any treatise of any great weight and authority on the art has hitherto appeared in our language, except that of Claude, which is, after all, a translation, although highly enriched by the improvements of its gifted editor. Many valuable hints, it is true, may be found in the writings of various divines; still, however, they are only hints. Mr. Bridges, in his Christian Ministry, has some good observations on the subject; but he observes that " a full discussion of its several particulars would furnish ample materials for a volume." The volume is supplied by Mr. Gresley, with what success we shall proceed to consider. His treatise has this advantage over Claude's, that it is not adapted to, but composed for, the English pulpit; a consideration by no means unimportant to the English student.
