Benevolence and Selfishness, by Jere-
miah Day, D. D., LL. D.-Is
self-love the only spring of volun-
tary action? 1. Ambiguous
phraseology: Love of happiness
2. Voluntary agency 4. Ultimate
end of actions 5. Disinterested
benevolence 7. Self-love and
selfishness 9. Points of agree-
ment between benevolence and
selfishness 10. Each may afford
gratification, in the exercise of the
affection, in the pursuit of objects
desired 10; and in their attain-
ment 11. Each may have respect
to a reward, and to the agent's in-
dividual welfare 11. Radical dif-

ference between them 11. Regard
to the happiness of others: to a
higher end than personal reward
12. Reality of impartial benevo-
lence 13. Evidence from the na-
ture of the case 14. Ultimate end
of benevolent action 16 The de-
cision of conscience 16. Common

ness liable to be confounded 20.

The system of necessity consider-
ed as established 215. Statement
of moral necessity 216. Three
definitions of it by Dr. Edwards
216-17. Moral and natural neces-
sity distinguished 219. Dr. Ed-
wards's view of natural neces-
sity examined 220. Not an exact
representation of President Ed-
wards on this point 221. Defective
and partial 222. Bearing on the
question, whether the moral and
natural necessities are distinct
223. Dr. Edwards entangled on
his own construction of natural
necessity 224. Sense in which he
uses moral necessity, as distin-
guished from natural 227. Points
of agreement, if any, admitted 227.
Points of distinction 229 Dictum
necessitatis: an assumption in re-
gard to all causes 232. Reasoning
employed in its support proceeds
on a doubtful analogy: ambiguity
in the use of the word cause 233.
Undertakes to decide how a
.cause acts 234. Leads to the infinite
series 235. God the cause of his
own acts, or not 236. What
causes volition 297. Difficult
question 298. Whether volition
be an effect? 299. Whether the

knowledge of what causes an ef-
fect supposes the knowledge of
how it causes? 300. Whether the
mind be the cause of volition?
303. Dr. E. denies the mind to
be the efficient cause of its own
volitions, or the cause of them in
any sense 304-5. Objection exam-
ined 306. Another position con-
sidered 309. President Day de-
fender of Edwards 312. How
came the cause of the event to
cause 317. On Dr. Edwards's
scheine man is no agent 324.

E.
Economy of Nature subordinate to the
Moral Government of God, by Rev.
George Duffield, D. D. 127. Skep-
ticism as to the existence and gov-
ernment of God 129. That the
economy of nature is subordinate
to moral government, reasonable
from the nature of the case 130.
The fact and nature of the mira-
cles of Jesus Christ: Laws of na-
ture have been set aside 132. Two
classes of facts prove the subordi-
nation of nature to moral govern-
ment of God 133. Dispensations
of Providence 134. Provisions of
the moral law never altered 136.

Salvation of Jesus Christ does not
invalidate the authority of the
moral law 137. Experience of
every unconverted sinner proves
that God does not recede from his
law 138. Retributions of the judg-
ment will demonstrate the fact
140.
