The preceding list is but a selection from the German writings of Luther, and the four folios of Latin works are entirely omitted. It is exceedingly interesting and instructive to the philosophic mind to run over the titles of these several publications in the order of their production, and with reference to the times and circumstances which called them forth. Some of the titles we have considerably abridged, but have endeavored to retain, so far as possible, their spirit and meaning. I hope the reader will not neglect to give this register at least one perusal, and I am sure it must suggest to his mind many reflexions respecting the causes and progress of the Reformation, and the agency of Luther in it, that had not before occurred to him. Every one of these works was read with avidity all over Europe as soon as it was out of the press.

Many important branches of our subject still remain untouched, especially Luther's services as a hymnologist and composer of Church music. This is a topic of such deep interest that we must draw still further on the patience of our readers, and make it the subject of a separate communication.

ARTICLE II.

THE WORKS OF SAMUEL PARR, LL. D., WITH MEMOIRS OF HIS LIFE AND WRITINGS. LONDON.

By Rev. CALVIN E. PARK, Waterville, Me.

THE works of Dr. Samuel Parr, styled by his contemporaries the best schoolmaster that ever existed, and the profoundest scholar of his age, are in eight octavo volumes. The first contains his life by Dr. Edward Johnston; the second contains several sermons, among which is the famous Spital sermon with its wonderfully copious notes; the third and fourth are filled with various moral, political, and philological tracts; the fifth and sixth with sermons; and the seventh and eighth with selections from his correspondence. The object of this article is to sketch briefly the life of Dr. Parr, and to estimate the nature and value of the services which he rendered to literature and religion.

The

He was born at Harrow on the Hill, in the year 1747. His father, whose name he bore, was a surgeon of considerable eminence in his profession; distinguished for his strong common sense and the correctness of his taste in the Latin and English languages; the stern rectitude of his principles and the manly and dignified independence of his spirit; qualities which were inherited in no slight degree by his more eminent son. same ardor in the pursuit of knowledge, by which Dr. Parr was so remarkably characterized in his riper years, manifested itself in his earliest childhood. When only four years of age, he was placed at the public school in Harrow, and at fourteen he was pronounced the head boy in the school. Among his school-fellows was that prodigy of scholarship, Sir William Jones. A very close friendship was formed between him and Parr. Their literary activity was not confined to the regular business of the school. The leisure, which the other boys spent in amusement, Parr and Jones devoted to serious intellectual labor. They acquired together the art of logic, disputing with each other, sometimes on subjects connected with natural science, and at others on points suggested by reading the French translation of Plato's Dialogues; they wrote tragedies founded on the stories
