The Great Theological Work of the Age.
DR. HODGE'S THEOLOGY.
BY CHARLES HODGE, D.D., LL.D.,
of Princeton Theological Seminary.
To be conpleted in three volumes 8vo. Tinted ater. Price per vol., in clot/, $4. 50.
IN these volumes are comprised the results of the life-long labors and investigation; of one of the
most eminent theologians of the age. The work covers the ground usually occupied by treatises on
Systematic Theology, and adopts the commonly received divisions of the subject,-THEOLO(GY,
Vol. 1.; ANTHROPOLOGY, Vol. If.; SOTERIOLOGY AND ESCHATOLOGY, Vol. III.
The plan of the author is to state and vindicate the teachings of the Bible on these various subjects,
and to examine the antagonistic doctrines of different classes of Theologians. His book, therefore, is
intended to be both didactic and elenchtic.
The various topics are discussed with that close and keen analytical and logical power, combined
with that simplicity, lucidity, and strength of style which hav'e already given Dr. HODGE a wcrldwide reputation as a controversialist and writer, and as an investigator of the great theological problems
of the day.

CR2ITICAL ESTIMATES.
From the New York Tribune.
The peculiar distinction of Prfoessor Jowett is his eminence as a scholar, especially in the language and literature ot
ancient Greece. Of this the impress is stamped on the pages of the great work before us. With no parade of learning,
there is perpetual evidence of profound mastery of the subject; the ease and grace with which the matter is handled comes
from knowledge that is an habitual possession of the mind, and not prepared for'the occasion; while the idiomatic force
and precision of the style shows an intimate acquaintance with the resources of the English tongue. The pleasant flow of
the language makes the reading of the translation a constant enjoyment. We do not know the theory on which it is fodnded,
or if it is founded on any theory at all; but it is certain that, apart from the nature of the topics under discussion, and the
local coloring and environment of the scene, there is little to remind us that it is not an original production in the vernacular.
For aught that is here indicated to the contrary, the bees that settled on Plato's lips might as well have swarmed from an
English as an Attic hive.
: From Blackwood's Magazine.
This work by Professor Jowett is one of the most splendid and valuable gifts to Literature andi Philosophy that have for
a long time been offered. Its first or most obvious excellence is the periect ease and grace of the translation, which is thoroughly English, and yet entirely exempt from any phrase or feature at variance with the Helleniic character. Very few
translations, other than the Bible, read like an original; but this is one of them. It has other and more recondite excellences. It is the work, almost the life-labor, we believe, of a profound scholar, a thoughtful moralist and metaphysician,
and a most successful instructor of youth; and it is manifest that the complete success that has attended his execution of
the task is itself the means of concealing the diligence, industry, and ability with which philological and interpretative difficulties must have been solved or overcome. -
