ESSAYS ON EPISCOPACY, AND THE APOLOGY FOR APOSTOLIC ORDER REVIEWED, By the late John M. Mason, D.D. Edited by the Rev. Ebenezer Mason, 1 vol. 12mo.
" A most timely republication. In the hands of an intellectual giant like Dr. Mason, the mon- strous deformities of high church episcopacy and its pigmy advocates were crushed and held up to public contempt, apparently without effort. The sarcasm with which the assumption of exclusive christianity is treated, is perfectly withering, and yet it is dealt with so much decorum that the guilty sufferer is left no room to complain of unfairness or aggravation. The argument is strong, and, we hesitate not to say, unanswerable. Whoever then wishes to see the scantiness of ground on which high churchism is built, may satisfy himself by reading this book."-Baptist Advocate.
ESSAYS ON THE CHURCH OF GOD. By the late John M. Mason, D.D. Edited by the Rev. Ebenezer Mason, 1 vol. 12mo.
" This work is the production of one of the most splendid minds which any age can boast. We doubt not, that it will live through many generations, and will convey to posterity one of the most luminous and scriptural views of the church of God, with which the church has ever been favoured." -Daily American Citizen.
"They are learned and lively, sometimes severe, and always entertaining, the reasoning cogent and simple, and the style that of the eloquent man whose name is still held by many in affectionate remembrance."-N. Y. Observer.
THE INQUIRER DIRECTED to an Experimental and Practical View of the Work of the Holy Spirit. By Rev. Octavius Winslow. 1 vol. 12mo.
" This is a delightful book ;- modest and unpretending, but embued with the spirit of the gospel. The author commences, as he should do, with a conclusive scriptural proof of the divinity and per- sonality of the Holy Spirit. He then passes on to 'an experimental and practical view' of the work of the Spirit as a quickener. This subject he presents in two divisions; first, the state of the heart, the influence of the Spirit, and the evidences of his operations, before and in the act of regeneration ; and second, the same class of topics, in their application to the soul after conversion. The next chapter is on the indwelling of the Spirit; the believer a temple of the Holy Ghost. The remaining subjects are :- The Sanctification of the Spirit, showing the necessity and nature of true holiness, -the sealing of the Spirit,-the Spirit the author of prayer,-and the Spirit a comforter,-the bro- ken heart bound up. The address is affectionate and winning, yet closely practical. It strongly reminds one of the manner of Flavel and Doddridge, and others of the olden time. The discrimi- nations of character are close and happy : and the whole book evinces a deep knowledge of the heart, and a familiar, practical, and divinely illumined acquaintance with the Scriptures."-Biblical Repertory &. Princeton Review.
THE LIFE, WALK AND TRIUMPH OF FAITH. By the Rev. W. Ro- maine, A.M. 12mo. New edition, Muslin.
" Many a good old believer will have his heart cheered and his soul comforted by the republica- tion of this book .- The truth drops from his pen like manna. His conceptions are remarkably clear, and his style simple and scriptural. His own life by faith enabled him to write so well for the edifi- cation of others."-Baptist Advocate.
" Here are three distinct treatises on the same general subject, to which evangelical Christians of every denomination, during nearly three-quarters of a century, have united in awarding the highest

praise. They indicate not only a most intimate acquaintance with the Bible, but a rare knowledge of the workings of the human heart, and are at once full of instruction, admonition and consolation. The most advanced Christian cannot fail to read them with profit, and the young Christian will find them among the safest guides and best helps in the religious life, which are to be found any where out of the Bible."-Albany Daily Advertiser.
THE GRACE AND DUTY OF BEING SPIRITUALLY MINDED, Declared and Practically Improved. By John Owen, D.D. 12mo.
" The name of Dr. Owen is peculiarly welcome at all times, and especially on such a theme. We need do nothing more than call the attention to the title page. Those who are familiar with the writings of this venerable Father, know that this is among the richest of his works."-New York Evangelist.
MOFFATT'S SOUTHERN AFRICA. Missionary Labours and Scenes in Southern Africa. By Robert Moffatt, twenty-three years an Agent of the London Missionary Society in that continent. 1 vol. 12mo.
" We have read the whole of this large volume with undiminished interest, and have found it re- plete with missionary information, given in an unpretending, but strong and clear style. The wretched state of the heathen tribes, among whom the writer so long laboured as a missionary; their deep degradation and ignorance ; the trials of faith and patience, of the missionary brethren; and after years of apparently useless labour, and when the churches at home seemed ready to aban- don the whole field, the displays of the power of the Spirit of God, by his blessing upon the labours of his servants, are all recorded by an eye-witness, who bore the burden and heat of the day, and who lived to rejoice in seeing the triumphs of the Gospel, among the most ignorant and degraded of the human family. The narrative is enriched also with descriptions of African scenery ; with the employment, habits, and pursuits of the native tribes ; their dangers from lions and other beasts of prey, and the wars and massacres of the roving bands of marauders, in their desolating excursions from place to place."-Foreign Missionary.

LIFE AND DEATH OF REV. JOSEPH ALLEINE, A.B., author of an "Alarm to the Unconverted," &c. Written by the Rev. Richard Baxter, his widow, Mrs. Theodosia Alleine, and other persons. To which are added his Christian Lectures, full of Spiritual Instruction, tending to the promoting of the Power of Godliness both in Persons and Families. With a recommendatory Preface by Alexander Duff, D.D., one of the Church of Scotland's Missionaries to India. 1 vol. 12mo.
REMAINS OF THE REV. RICHARD CECIL, M.A. Late Rector of Bisley and Vicar of Chobbam, Surrey, and Minister of St. John's Chapel, Bedford Row, London. To which is prefixed a View of his character. By Joseph Pratt, B. D. F.A.S. From the eleventh London Edition, 1 vol. 12mo.
" We often meet with men distinguished for certain characteristics or acquirements. One has an elegant, classical mind, but is destitute of original genius ; another with imposing abilities, is rough and unpolished. Some uniting polish with native superiority are destitute of the grace of godliness , and others excelling in piety and good works, unavoidably offend a refined taste by some vulgarity of thought, expression, or action. But in Richard Cecil we see a man combining the rich soil of strong native talent with a refinement of cultivation not surpassed by classic example; while in him the elegant and profound scholar, and polished gentleman are only the subordinate characters of the humble minded, devoted, and enterprising follower of the lowly Jesus."-Baptist Advocate.
CHRIST OUR LAW. By Miss Caroline Fry. Author of "The Listener," " Christ Our Example," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. Second edition.
" The book before us consists of twelve chapters, comprised within about 270 pages. It exhibits Christ as our Law in His Sovereign Love, His Incarnation and Substitution, His Justifying Right- eousness, Our Responsibility to Him, His Regenerating Spirit, In Saving Faith, The Obedience of Faith, Repentance unto Life, His Sanctifying Grace, His Holy Ordinances, and our Union and Communion with Him. We are speaking of no secondary class of publications when we distin- guish this book as the best of all that Miss Fry has ever written. Her pen has unusual vigour. Her thoughts are strong, and by no means enfeebled in the expression. Her theology is evanger- ical and profound, entering into the marrow of the gospel, and strengthening the believing reader in the faith as once delivered to the saints."-Baptist Advocate.

THE FAMILY OF BETHANY. By L. Bonnet, with an Introductory Essay, by Rev. Hugh White.
" This book leads us, as with an angel's hand, through some of the most interesting scenes in the life of the Saviour of the world. It is full of evangelical truth, of glowing imagery, of living, breathing devotion. In some of its characteristics, particularly in the fervour which every where pervades it, it bears the marks of its French origin ; but it is so well translated, that it would re- quire an attentive observer to perceive that it had been translated at all. We recommend it for its intellectual, as well as its moral and spiritual qualities."-Albany Argus.
THE RETROSPECT, or Review of Providential Mercies, with Anecdotes of Va- rious Characters. By Aliquis, formerly a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and now a Minister of the English Church. 3d American from the 18th London edition.
" The great popularity of this volume appears from the large number of editions through which it has passed in Great Britain in a short number of years, having now reached the 17th edition, and proofs of its usefulness have not been wanting. We can assure our readers that there are few works of the kind so deeply interesting, or so well adapted to religious edification. We cordially recommend it." -- Christ. Intelligencer.
THE MARTYR LAMB; or Christ the Representative of his People in all ages. By F. W. Krummacher, D.D., author of " Elijah the Tishbite," &c. 4th edition.
ELIJAH THE TISHBITE. By F. W. Krummacher.
" Our author is characterized by a glowing and imaginative style, which seems to be the expres- sion of a heart warmed by piety, and susceptible of the tenderest emotions. He displays a happy tact in developing, in the most pleasing manner, the circumstances of a scriptural incident or char- acter, and of deriving from it practical lessons."-Presbyterian.

A TREATISE ON PRAYER ; designed to assist in the devout discharge of that duty. By the Rev. Edward Bickersteth.
THE HISTORY OF MICHAEL KEMP, The Happy Farmer's Lad. A Tale of Rustic Life, illustrative of the Spiritual Blessings and Temporal Advantages of Early Piety. By Anne Woodrooffe. 2d edition.
" Thoroughly and intensely have we read this book, 'because,' as Talbot said of Boswell's Life of Johnson, 'we couldn't help it.' We were struck with the ingenuous disposition and firm prin- ciples of Michael, and we wished to see how they would bear him through trying scenes. In other words, our feelings became so intently but agreeably absorbed, that we not only traced Michael through a book of 250 pages, but if there had been one or two more volumes we fear that we would have perused them. So much for the interest which the story excites ; the other merits of the book are not inferior."-Baptist Advocate.
COMFORT IN AFFLICTION: A Series of Meditations. By the Rev. James Buchanan, one of the Ministers of the High Church, Edinburgh. From the 9th Edinburgh edition.
" The blessed results of affliction are treated with peculiar force of argument, and felicity of ex- pression-strong in scriptural statements of divine truth, and rich in scriptural sources of divine consolation-in a most valuable work, entitled ' Comfort in Affliction,' by the Rev. James Buchanan, -which I would affectionately recommend to every Christian mourner who desires to drink freely of the refreshing streams which the Fountain of all Comfort-the Word of God, supplies ; for it is from this sacred source the pious and talented author of this excellent work derives 'Comfort in Affliction,' which his pages so eloquently and attractively set forth .- Rev. Hugh White of Dublin. PERSUASIVES TO EARLY PIETY. By the Rev. R. G. Pike.
THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF RELIGION IN THE SOUL; illustrated in a Course of Serious and Practical Addresses, suited to persons of every character and circumstance, with a Devout Meditation or Prayer, subjoined to each chapter. By Philip Doddridge, D.D.
THE COTTAGE FIRESIDE, or the Parish Schoolmaster. By the Rev. Henry Duncan, D.D.
" This is a reprint of a Scotch work, by a clergyman of high standing, who does not now for the first time appear as an author. The narrative is constructed with great beauty, and is designed at once to illustrate and remedy some of the principal evils connected with domestic education. The work may very properly occupy the attention both of parents and children ; and it will be read with pleasure by all who can relish the simple and beautiful in thought and expression."-Argus.
