Die Fortbildung des Christenthum zür Weltreligion. Eine Ansicht der höhern Dogmatic von Dr. Christoph. Friedrich von Ammon. Erste Halfte. Leipzig. 1833. 8vo. 1 Thlr. 4 Gr.—To judge from a notice which we have seen of this work of Ammon, now an old man, and long a wellknown writer, we should think it to possess considerable interest, both from the opinions of the author himself, which appear to be expressed with force and eloquence, and from the information that it affords concerning the present state of religious belief' on the continent of Europe.

ERRATUM.

Whoever among our readers has published, we will not say a book, but a review, or a pamphlet, or an article in a newspaper, must be aware of the remarkable fact, that when his impatience is at last gratified by seeing it in print, a time of trial immediately succeeds. As he runs his eye hastily over it, his own mistakes and the errors of the press, mistakes and errors which had escaped notice in three proof-readings, glare at once upon him, as if they formed the most prominent features of his work. Thus it was that upon first opening our last number we were shocked at observing (on the 131st page of the second part) an inexcusable negligence in our translation of a beautiful specimen of German metaphysics. We were so very careless as to render thus: "The subjective objectivity of 'I,' emerging from the depths of its indeterminate existence, manifests itself by opposition and produces consciousness." Instead of "the subjective objectivity," we should have said "the objective subjectivity." Happily, however, no mischief is done. It is the glory of what may be called the "super-transcendental" style of the later German metaphysicians, that the words composing a sentence may undergo any permutations and combinations, consistent with the rules of grammar, and have as much meaning in one form as another. In the present case, for example, we leave it to the judgment of every reader, if it be of the least importance, whether we say "the subjective objectivity," or "the objective subjectivity," of "I."

NOTE.

In numbering the volumes of the Select Journal, it has seemed to us advisable to adopt the plan of some of the continental journals, of marking the whole series only by the dates of the years in which they may appear, and the two volumes for any one year as first and second for that year. The title-page to this volume is conformed to that plan.

In binding, each of the two parts of which every volume is composed, should be bound together, so that the paging of each part may be continued unbroken.
