"Universally and cordially do we recommend this delightful volume. We believe no person could read this work and not be the better for its pious and touching lessons. It is a page taken from the book of life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning, 'Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.' We have not for some time seen a work we could so deservedly praise, or so conscientiously recommend."-Literary Gazette.

By A

WORKING CLERGY MAN, Author of the " Bishop's Daughter," &c. &c.

"We never in all our experience met with a more interesting work, and one breathing more fully and firmly the very essence of Christian philanthropy and national patriotism, and that too in the most simple and unambitious language, as if the writer were not aware of his power of influencing all the better feelings of the human heart."Literary Chronicle.

"This volume reminds us forcibly of that most delightful of all biographies, "The Doctor,' to which indeed it is little if at all inferior."-Britannia.

In which RELIGION and SUPERSTITION are traced from their source. By D. MORISON. The Second Edition, enlarged, fcap. 8vo. price 68. cloth. "The intention of this book is not less admirable than the manner in which it is written. It is most instructive, and the tone of its contents is in the highest degree pious, without the least tinge of puritanism. The information it gives on the most difficult points of biblical reading render it a valuable book to all who desire true knowledge."-Age. "Curious, industrious, and learned, and well worthy the attention of the public."Literary Gazette.

"The plan of this book was both extensive and important-embracing an inquiry into the nature of Revelation, and its influence on the opinions and customs of mankind;" *** "the writer uses Scripture as an interpreter," and "sticks to the literal text of the six days."-Spectator.

MORTAL LIFE; AND THE STATE OF THE SOUL AFTER DEATH;

In one

CONFORMABLE TO DIVINE REVELATION. By ALEXANDER COP-
LAND, Esq., Author of "The Existence of Other Worlds," &c.
thick vol. 8vo., price 15s. bound.

"The work will afford in perusal, to all sorrowing relations, the consolation and diversion of mind of the most congenial kind. It neither leads the thoughts to dwell painfully on one idea that of loss-nor does it altogether withdraw the mind from its contemplation: an effort still more painful. The study of a work like this, on the contrary, while it gradually weans grief from its melancholy occupation, supplies it with the sweetest and most cheerful of all balm-the happy certainty of re-union, not after the lapse of vast ages of time, but of the instant term of mortal existence."-Theological Review.

SCRIPTURAL STUDIES:

Comprising The CREATION-The CHRISTIAN SCHEME-The INNER
SENSE. By the Rev. WILLIAM HILL TUCKER, M.A., Fellow of King's
College, Cambridge. In one thick vol. demy 8vo., price 10s. 6d. neatly
bound in cloth.

"This is not a work for ordinary readers. The author thinks for himself; and so writes that his readers must think too, or they will not be able to understand him.-To the sacred volume, as a revelation from God, he pays uniform and entire deference—and the thoughtful and prayerful reader will soon find that he has not the thinkings of a commonplace mind before him."-Methodist Magazine.

88. 6d. neatly bound in cloth.

Although the author is able and earnest, he is not bigoted or intolerant.”—Literary

Gazette.

"It is but an octavo, yet within its conveniently compendious pages it contains a review carefully taken of the progress of the Church of Christ, through all the perils of persecution, dissent, and heresy, by which it has been tried as in a furnace, up to its confirmed establishment in this country at the epoch of 1688."-Herald,

THE CHURCH AND DISSENT,

Considered in their Practical Influence on Individuals, Society, the Nation, and Religion. By EDWARD OSLER, Esq. In fcap. 8vo., price 6s. bound.

"It would be impossible to find, in the whole range of our literature, a work so admirably suited to the present times as this invaluable little volume. The searching test to which the respective systems have been submitted is so complete and convincing, that the work ought to be studied by every Dissenter and Churchman in the Kingdom, particularly at the present religious crisis."-Christian Review.

THE CHURCH AND DISSENT, CONSIDERED IN THEIR PRACTICAL INFLUENCE; showing the Connexion of Constitutional Monarchy with the Church, and the identity of the Voluntary Principle with Democracy.-II.
