count the religion of the Russians. We shall watch the progress of this great contest of England and Russia, where Asia is the foot-ball, with the intensest interest. What may be the designs of Providence, we cannot, of course, fathom. We cannot but hope, however, that it will tend greatly to the spread of pure Christianity, and to the introduction of a new element of life into the torpid and worn-out dynasties of middle Asia.
We are glad to see that Mr. Medhurst's history of China is now published. We had hoped to review it in the present number of the Repository, but we did not receive it in season. From the character and opportunities of the author we have strong hopes that the book will add much to our knowledge of this immense empire. It takes up the subject of the chronology of China, extent, probable population, civilization, government and laws, language and literature, religions, Catholic missions, Protestant missions to Canton, Malacca, Batavia, voyages up the coast of China, subsequent occurrence, class of laborers required for China, desiderata for the Chinese mission. Mr. Medhurst's history, the Chinese Repository and Davis's History of China, (noticed in the Repository, Vol. X. p. 231,) will furnish excellent materials for obtaining a very correct view of the celestial empire. The Missionary Herald for September contains a specimen of the Chinese metal types prepared by Mr. Dyer, missionary of the London Missionary Society at Malacca. The punches and matrices are the property of that Society, and founts of type will be furnished for benevolent purposes at the cost price. The whole number of characters in the original fount is 3,232; to which it is in contemplation to add another list of 1,648 characters. The cost of a fount is about $500. The presses in connection with the missions of the American Board, in communities where the Chinese language is used, will be furnished with founts.

Angels, the scriptural idea of. existence of a world of spirits, a subject of experience and observa- tion 356. Proved by analogy 357. Taught by the religious philosophy of every age 359. The Scriptures frequently notice spiritual intelli- gences, their names and titles 360. Explained 361. Not personi- fications, but real existences 370. The term spirit, revua, etc. ex- plained 371.

Authority, a source of moral obliga- tion. The prevailing spirit of in- subordination 276. A sense of obligation awakened from two sources, the nature of things and authority. The latter only con- sidered. I. Why is authority ne- cessary as a source of obligation? 277. Different theories 278. Au- thority necessary because, 1. There are many purposes essential to the government of society, which can- not be gained by leaving mankind to the separate decisions of each one's intuitive or reflective percep- tions 280.-2. Additional sanctions to moral obligation necessary 283. II. What is the test of legitimate authority? The propriety of the relation between the sovereign and the subject to be consulted 286. There must be competent qualifi- cations 287. Legislation must not contravene the claims of natural obligation 289. It must not con- flict with any higher authority 290. Authority may give obligation to that which would otherwise have been a matter of indifference 291. Refusal to obey, unless the unrea- sonableness of the precept be ex- hibited, makes a man either a rebel or an outlaw 293. The spirit of law fills the whole field of its ju- risdiction 293. Disobedience to the lowest rightful authority, as truly sin as disobedience to the highest 294.
