Voltaire and Rousseau against the Atheists; or Essays and Detached Passages from those Writers, in Relation to the Being and Attributes of God. Selected and Translated from the French, by J. AKERLY. New York: Wiley & Putnam.

An openly printed duodecimo of 131 pages, neatly bound. The intention is, beyond doubt, a commendable one — but we cannot help regarding the work as one of supererogation. Men deny a God only with their lips.
