wards Archbishop of Armagh; figuring along with Lardner, Fleming, Kippis, Price, and many other Reverends by courtesy of that day, but as good bishops as themselves notwithstanding. When, however, we contrast these things with the strange outcry which has recently been excited, when two bishops subscribed to a volume of sermons published by a Unitarian minister, we are constrained to acknowledge our apprehension that, in some respects, the former times were better than these. In the year 1754, Dr. Benson published a Summary of the Evidences of Christ's Resurrection, in which he reduces the accounts given by the four Evangelists into one harmonized narrative; and examines, with great ability and acuteness, the objections which have been proposed by unbelievers against this part of the Gospel history. In particular, he illustrates very satisfactorily the important inference from the diversity of these narratives, that it clearly appears from hence that we cannot have here a concert

her than this, is, we apprehend, sufficiently manifest from the general strain of his writings, and even from other parts of this treatise; though, in expressing his opinion, as in the above extracts, he may be thought to have occasionally employed language which is liable to be misunderstood. See some admirable remarks on this Treatise, and on the subject in general, in a letter addressed to the author by Dr. Duchal, and inserted in the second volume of the Theological Repository.

This work, the labour of fourteen years, will be a durable monument of his learning and unwearied industry, as well as of his zeal to promote the study of the Scriptures. In the advertisement announcing it as ready for the press, he appeals, as a practical example of the use to be made of such a work, to the advantage he had

own that any production of his found its way before the public. His son, Mr. Thomas Dixon, was educated under the care of Dr. Rotheram, at Kendal, and in 1751 settled at Bolton, on the decease of his father's successor, Mr. Buck. Here he died in 1754, at the early age of thirty-three; non annis, sed laude plenus, according to the inscription on his monument in Bolton Chapel. Some years after his death an excellent piece of Scripture criticism was published from his papers, entitled The Soveret Dr. Latham appeared before the public as an author in his lifetime. If he did not, it can excite little surprise, when we consider the importance and multiplicity of his other occupations. About twenty years after his death, (which occurred in 1754,) the volume of sermons already mentioned was published under the superintendence of Mr. Willets, from whose very brief prefatory notice of the author the preceding particulars have been derived. The sermons shew him to have been an Arian of the
