THE

BRITISH CRITIC,

FOR MARCH, 1823.

ART. I. A General and Historical View of Christianity, comprehending its Origin and Progress, the leading Doctrines and Forms of Polity founded on it, and the Effect which it has produced on the moral and political State of Europe. By George Cook, D. D. &c. &c. Whittakers. 1822.

DR. COOK is already advantageously known to the public as the author of two considerable works on the antiquities of his native country. His history of the Reformation in Scotland is justly esteemed a standard book on that subject; and, his account of the origin and establishment of the Presbyterian Kirk, in the same kingdom, has met with much approbation, as being at once a moderate and very impartial narrative of events, drawn from a field of enquiry where moderation and impartiality had been theretofore altogether unknown. The chief merit, indeed, of Dr. Cook as an historical writer, arises from the even and unbiassed course which he holds, whilst describing scenes that hardly ever fail, even at the present day, to awaken the animosities of party feeling, and whilst appreciating motives which have never yet been viewed but in connection with occurrences which to one class of readers are still the occasion of triumph, and which to another recall only the memorials of defeat or disappointment.

Possessed with sentiments of esteem and regard for Dr. Cook, it is not without some regret that we are compelled to pass rather an unfavourable judgment on the work now be fore us. It is impossible, we think, that it can add to his reputation as a man of letters; for, it is totally destitute of that laborious research which is so necessary in the present age to recommend such a book to the favour of the scholar, whilst it is very little adorned with those felicities of style and arrangement which are sometimes found to compensate VOL. XIX, MARCH, 1823.
