The work with which this article is headed, is evidently designed to enlighten the Christian public into the duties they owe the Jews. It is a small work of less than 200 pages; but contains a brief history of the destruction of Jerusalem, showing the correspondence of events, with the prophecies that have been uttered by Christ, and by the preceding prophets of the Jewish church. It then proceeds to state the arguments on which must rest the belief that Judah and Israel will be restored to the land of their fathers literally: These arguments are, 1. The distinct existence of the Jews. 2. Their past partial and short possession of Canaan. 3. Express predictions of the event. 4 The impropriety of giving a mystical import to these predictions. 5. As their expulsion was literal, their restoration must be so too.

The remainder of the same chapter is taken up with various arguments, in support of the hypothesis, that the savages of North and South America are the tribes of Israel. . . . How much weight is due to these arguments, every reader must judge for himself. To our own minds they are more pleasant than convincing. The time may be at hand when the origin of the Indian tribes on this continent will be clearly ascertained; but that time has not yet come.

We have been exceedingly gratified in taking a "View of the Hebrews," through the glass that Mr. S. has put to our eye: and it is presumed that none will turn away dissatisfied with such a medium of vision, unless they are dissatisfied that they may not look longer.—The subject is large enough to engage a more extended discussion; but perhaps Mr. S. has said all that need to be said at present. Undoubtedly further inquiries will be made, and more satisfactory results obtained ere long.
