CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY.

At a meeting, on Monday, May 4th, the Rev. G. Peacock, the treasurer, in the

chair, Professor Airy gave an account of recent results obtained at the observatory; namely, 1st. That the discrepancy of the observations of the obliquity of the ecliptic, at the summer and winter solstices, formerly noticed, has disappeared on using the refraction corresponding to a new barometer, which stands 1-10th of an inch higher than the one formerly used. 2d. That the mass of Jupiter, as determined by observations of the fourth satellite in 1834, is almost exactly the same as that obtained in 1832 and 1833, namely 1-1048th of the sun's mass. 3. That the time of rotation of Jupiter, as determined by a spot, is 9 hrs. 55 min. 21 secs.; the spot from which this determination was obtained, made 225 revolutions in 93 days.

Afterwards Mr. Whewell gave an account of the results of his examination of the tide observations made last June at the stations of the coast-guard service.

On Monday, May 18, Prof. Airy, V. P. being in the chair, a paper by Mr. A. Smith, of Trinity College, was read, containing a simple method of performing the eliminations by which we may obtain Fresnel's equation to the wave surface, in biaxal crystals, according to the undulatory theory of light.-Mr. Whewell read a letter from Prof. Schumacher, in which it was stated that Messrs. Bier and Mödler have, by observations of two remarkable spots during several months, fixed the time of Jupiter's revolution at 9 hrs. 55 min. 26 secs., being a longer time by 5 secs. than that mentioned by Prof. Airy at the last meeting as the result of his observations -It was also stated that M. Bessel had ob. served a long series of elongations of Jupiter's satellites, and that these give the mass of Jupiter nearly identical with that obtained by Prof. Airy. Mr. W. Fisher made further observations in confirmation of the views explained in his former communication respecting Tubercles.

On Wednesday, His Majesty received the address from this University, on the subject of the Irish Church. At halfpast twelve, the members of the University assembled at the Thatched House Tavern; and, after partaking of a cold collation, proceeded in order of precedence to St. James's Palace. The address was read and presented by the Marquis Camden, the Chancellor, to which His Majesty returned a short, but gracious answer. Amongst the company present were the Duke of Northumberland, High Steward; the Duke of Gordon, Earl de la Warr, Viscounts Canterbury and Clive, Lords

Brecknock and Alford, the Bishops London and Winchester, Sir Frederick Pollock, Commissary; the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, and Hon. C. E. Law, Members for the University; Professors Turton, Hollingworth, and Geldart; together with a long train of Doctors, Masters of Arts, Bachelors of Arts, and Undergraduates; in all amounting to more than 200. The following is the order of the procession:The Bedells.

In the evening, the Chancellor entertained the deputation at his house, in Arlington-street, at a splendid dinner, which was also honoured by the presence of the Duke of Wellington, and several other noblemen of distinction.

The following is a copy of the address : "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. "The humble Address of the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge.

"Most Gracious Sovereign-We, your Majesty's most dutiful subjects, the Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge, humbly approach your Majesty's presence, with the assurance of our fervent and unalterable attachment to your Majesty's royal person and govern

ment.

"In seasons of political excitement, we

do not ordinarily step forward to tender, at the foot of the throne, any renewed assurance of our loyalty and devotion; but, at this particular juncture, we conceive ourselves especially and imperatively called upon to give expression to the sentiments and feelings which the present aspect of public affairs has excited in our breasts.

"With unfeigned sorrow and alarm do we witness the efforts which are now being made to establish the principle that the revenues of the Protestant Church may be appropriated to other than Ecclesiastical and Protestant purposes.' The bare recognition of this principle would be, in our deliberate judgment, most injurious to the best interests of religion; and, in its practical application, it must tend to the subversion of that glorious Constitution, in Church and State, under which the British nation has enjoyed, for a long period, an increasing and unexampled prosperity. Most anxiously, therefore, do we deprecate the adoption of such a principle.

"Filled with these apprehensions for the safety of our truly Apostolic Church, we look earnestly, under Divine Providence, to your Majesty for protection; and encouraged by your Majesty's gracious disposition and declared purpose to maintain her integrity, we venture, in all humility, to assure your Majesty of our cordial and zealous cooperation in any measures which, to your Majesty's wisdom, may appear best calculated to avert the impending danger."

To this address his Majesty was pleased to return the subjoined answer :

"I receive with satisfaction and rely with confidence upon the assurance of your fervent and unalterable attachment to my person and government.

[ocr errors]

Upon the great question to which you refer, I shall be anxious to receive the advice of my responsible ministers, and of the great council of the nation assembled in Parliament.

"I trust that the measures which they will recommend will be calculated to secure the safety of the Church, and to avert any impending danger."

JULY, 1835.

REVIEW OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.

ART. I.-Spiritual Despotism. By the Author of Natural History of Enthusiasm. London: Holdsworth & Ball. 8vo. 1835. Pp. 500.

WE gladly renew our acquaintance with the anonymous author of this volume, to which his previous fame will attract the eager perusal of many admirers. In this class we assume the privilege of ranking ourselves, who, though conscious of his many defects, have been amongst the foremost to award our meed of sincere praise to his extraordinary merits. Maugre the harsh vituperation which he has been pleased to pour from the vials of his wrath upon us laborious scribes of the periodical press, we are nothing loath again to greet him with friendly salutation; but then, we must again claim our inalienable privilege of censure, where censure is due, at whatever peril of his displeasure. "Are we therefore his enemies, because we tell him the truth?"

But we must pass from these quasi personal considerations to the contents of his book, which, like our author's former publications, is replete with beauties, and chequered with many blemishes. The style, if not so ambitious as heretofore, is yet well sustained, and the illustrations, if not so numerous, are yet original and happy; and the general argument of the volume, calm, philosophical, and profound, is conducted with exquisite talent, and the purest feeling of christian charity. We are bound to add, however, that in our humble judgment, our author's lucubrations, rich as they are in curious scholarship, and irreproachable as they are in their heavenly spirit, display an unusual ignorance of human nature, and an admirable unconsciousness of the utter impracticability of his proposed measures of ecclesiastical reform; to which Churchmen may not fear to yield their unanimous adhesion, when dissenters shall be persuaded to receive them with any feelings

[blocks in formation]

short of unmixed disgust and sheer execration. Our author hopes,— "good, easy man,"-to calm the burning animosities and hostile jealousies of furious schismatics, and to allay the fears of the members of the Establishment, by a union of parties, between which there not only exists no common bond of sympathy, but rather, it should seem, the most repellant and unamalgable materials of discord. The principles of dissent, if we rightly comprehend them, present an insuperable barrier to the accomplishment of our author's pious designs, and peremptorily forbid the amicable alliance, which he so devoutly wishes, and of which we shall then only expect the consummation, when

"Aut ararim Parthus bibet, aut Germania Tigrim."

Of this, however, enough; we shall have another opportunity of recurring to the topic in our brief analysis of the volume on our table.

It consists of "Ten Sections," as our author designates them: we, old-fashioned folks, should have called them chapters. They are respectively entitled,-Section I. The present Crisis of Church Power.II. General Conditions of Hierarchical Power. III. Sketch of Ancient Hierarchies, and that of the Jews.-IV. Rudiments of Church Polity.V. First Steps of Spiritual Despotism.-VI. Era of the Balance of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Powers. -VII. The Church Ascendant. VIII. Spiritual Despotism, supplanted by Secular Tyranny. IX. Present Disparagements of the Ministers of Religion.-X. General Inferences.-Notes and Illustrations.

From the loophole of his study our author views the aspect of ecclesiastical affairs at the present appalling "crisis of church power," when "the divisions that exist among us on questions belonging to the exterior forms and the profession of religion, are of a kind that affect the Christian with inexpressible grief, the patriot with shame and dismay, and the statesman with hopeless perplexity." He stands an anxious spectator of the approaching conflict of the parties, who have already set their forces in array, "army against army," and catches with fearful ear the dismal sounds of brazen trumpets summoning the combatants to the battle field. He points with prophetic finger to the streaming banners of the advancing troops, and would warn us against the dangers of the conflict, or teach us how best to defend ourselves in the fight.
