Joseph Cook) becomes truly remarkable when we consider that New Haven is the seat of the Yale Theological Seminary, and the place where the New-Englander is published, and that Mr. Cook, besides having passed two years at Yale, is one of the most powerful supporters of the theological views which both the seminary and the magazine represent...
