OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
" Charlotte Elizabethi's Works have become so univer- sally known, and are so highly and deservedly appreciated in this country, that it has become almost superfluous to praise them. We doubt exceedingly whether there has heen any female writer since Hannah More, whose works are likely to be so extensively read and so profitably read as hers She thinks deeply and accurately, is a great an- alyst of the human heart, and withal clothes her ideas in most appropriate and eloquent language. The present edition, unlike any of its predecessors in this country, is in octavo form, and makes a fine substantial book, which, both in respect to the outer and inner, will be an ornament to any library."-Albany Argus.
" These productions constitute a bright relief to the bad and corrupting literature in which our age is so prolific, full of practical instruction, illustrative of the beauty of Protestant Christianity, and not the less abound- ing in entertaining description and narrative."-Journal of Commerce.
" In justice to the publisher and to the public, we add that this edition of Charlotte Elizabeth's Works will form a valuable acquisition to the Christian and Family Libra- ry."-Christian Observer.
" We experience a sense of relief in turning from the countless small volumes, though neat and often ornate, that the press is constantly throwing in our way, to a bold, substantial-looking octavo of 600 pages, in plain black dress, with a bright, cheerful countenance, such as the volumes before us. Of the literary characteristics of Charlotte Elizabeth we have had frequent occasion to speak. Her merits and defects are teo well known to need recapitulation here."-Newark Daily Advertiser.
This third volume completes this elegant octavo edition of the works of this popular and useful author. The works themselves are so well known as not to need com- mendation. The edition we are disposed to speak wel! of. It is in clear type, on fine paper, and makes a beauti- ful series. It is, moreover, very cheap."-New York Evangelist.
WE ALSO PUBLISH THE FOLLOWING OF CHARLOTTE ELIZ- ABETH'S WORKS, IN UNIFORM, NEAT 18mo. VOLS., VARYING FROM 25 TO 50 CENTS PER VOL

DR. RICHARD'S LECTURES.
Lectures on Mental Philosophy and Theology. By James Richards, D.D. Late Professor in Auburn Theological Seminary. With a Sketch of his Life. By Samuel H. Gridley. And a finely engraved likeness. 8vo.
" For natural vigour of mind, practical wisdom, fervent piety. and un- wearied diligence, both as a minister of the Gospel and teacher of Theo- logy, the professor of Theology in the Theological Seminary at Auburn stood deservedly high in the estimation of all who knew him or his writ- ings. The discussions in this volume relate to some of the most profound and difficult subjects, yet are distinguished for great clearness of method, strength of thought and simplicity of style. . ... We only regret that the taste for lighter reading will probably exeluide this volume from the libraries of those who most need it. To students in Theology, and think- ing laymen, it presents strong allurements, and will abundantly compen- sate for the time of more than a single reading." -. Com. Adr.
CHRISTIAN IMPERFECTION.
Lectures on the Moral Imperfection of Christians. De- signed to show that while sinless perfection is obligatory on all, it is attained by none. By Seth Williston, D.L 18mo.
" This is a work which will repay many a reading. In foree of reason- ing, felicity of illustration. and power of application and conclusion, it will commend itself to the strongest intelleet ; while the Christian will be convineed, that the Rev. anthor, instead of lowering the standard of divine graces and duties, raises it to the highest point of Christian excel- lence and to the perfections of God. so that the true disciple of Christ will be led to humble himself before God, and repent daily in dust and ashes, of his involuntary sins of omission and commission."-Alb. Spectator.

CRUDEN'S COMPLETE CONCORDANCE.
A COMPLETE CONCORDANCE
TO THE
HOLY SCRIPTURES
OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT; OR, A
Dictionary and Alphabetical Index to the Bible :
Very useful to all Christians who seriously read and study the inspired writings.
IN TWO PARTS : CONTAINING
1. The Appellative or Common Words in so full and large a manner, that any verse may be readily found by looking for any material word in it. In this part the various Significations of the principal words are given ; by which the true meaning of many passages of Scripture is shown ; an account of several Jewish Customs and Ceremonies is also added, which may serve to illustrate many parts of Scripture.
Il. The Proper Names in the Scriptures. To this part is prefixed a Table, containing the signification of the words in the original languages from which they are derived.
TO WHICH IS ADDED, A CONCORDANCE TO TIIE BOOKS CALLED APOCRYPHA.
The whole digested in an easy and regular method ; which, together with the various significations and other improvements now added, ren- ders it more useful than any book of the kind hitherto published.
BY ALEXANDER CRUDEN, M.A.
From the Tenth London Edition, carefully revised and corrected by the Holy Scriptures.
TO WHICH IS ADDED, AN ORIGINAL LIFE OF THE AUTHOR. .
" Ever since the first publication of Cruden's Concordance, in 1736, it has maintained the acknowledged reputation of being the very best work of the kind in the English Language. Indeed, no other has ever

deserved even to be compared to it. It maintains its superiority still ; and probably will ever hold that pre eminence.
" We speak of the complete edition, which is here presented to the public ; a work in the market called Cruden's Concordance, being only a compilation from the complete work, and wanting many of its most valuable features. To abridge this work of Cruden, as it came from his finishing hand, would be to make it ncarly valueless to ninety-nine of every hundred who need n concordance. And of all aids to an accurate understanding of the Bible, we believe Cruden's Complete Concordance to be the best."
"DEAR SIR :- I have carefully compared your edition of Cruden's Concordance with a fine English edition, and find it true to the original . Knowing, from many years' use, the value of Cruden, I cannot but be glad that you have thus presented a cheap edition of his invaluable work to the American public. I find in your copy an unimpaired, com- plete Cruden. This is not the case with another American edition, published last year. In that, great liberties are taken with the original work-such as abridgments, omissions, &c., greatly reducing the amount of its contents, and in the same proportion diminishing its value. A student of the Bible needs a concordance in which he can find every passage he wants. Your edition is just such a one,"
" We know, from long use, this full and admirable reprint of the ori- ginal Cruden's Concordance ; and we think that the whole value of the work depends upon its being complete and entire : and that its great" value would be impaired seriously by the omission of a single word or reference."
" The high price at which this gigantic work has been necessarily sold hitherto, has prevented thousands from purchasing it. A com- plete edition, with the very latest corrections, with the notes of the author, and every line of the London edition faithfully given, is now published, as above, for only TWO DOLLARS. It is the best commentary on the Bible that was ever made ; it is worth more to the diligent and devout student than the whole of Henry, or Scott, or any other critic, and we would part with all our commentaries rather than with Cruden's Concordance. It ought to be in every intelligent family, and we pre- sume that the low price at which it is now sold will be the means of putting it into the hands of many who would not otherwise have ob- tained it."

THE ATTRACTION OF THE CROSS.
The Attraction of the Cross, designed to illustrate the leading Truths, Obligations And Hopes of Christianity. By Gardiner Spring, D.D. 12mo. Fourth edition.
"We are not surprised to hear that Mr. Dodd, the publisher, has al- ready issued the third edition of the Attraction of the Cross, by the Rev. Dr. Spring. It is the ablest and most finished production of its anthor, and will undoubtedly take its place in that most enviable position ir the family, as a volume of standard reading, to be the comfort of the aged and the guide of the young. We commend it as one of the most valua- ble issues of the press."-N. Y. Obserrer
" This is no ordinary, every-day volume of sermons, but the rich, ripe harvest of a cultivated mind-the result of long and systematic devotion to the proper work of the Christian ministry, We regard Dr. Spring as one of the most accomplished preachers of the country. We never heard him preach a weak discourse ; and whenever he appears from the press, it is with words of wisdom and power. A careful perusal of this almirable book has afforded us great pleasure. We do not won- der to find it so soon in a third edition. It will have a lasting reputa- tion." -- Baptist Memorial.
" This volume, which we annonneed two weeks ago, and which we then predicted would prove to be the most excellent and valuable work yet written by Dr. Spring. has more than equalled our expectations. . . ... We trust that every family in our land vill read this precious work, which illustrates so beautifully and attraetively the leading truths, oh- ligations and hopes of Christianity, as reflected from the Cross of Christ."-Albany Spertator.
" We mistake if this neatly-printed volume does not prove one of the most attractive religions works of the day. It presents the practicas truths of religion, which all ought to know, free from the spirit of seat- arianism or controversy. The book is prepared for permanent use, and hids as fair, perhaps, as any book of the kind in our times, to live and speak long after the anthor shall have gone to test the realities he has so eloquently described."-Journal of Commerce.
" Dr. Spring's new work. which we had occasion recently to announce, is very highly commended elsewhere A New-York letter in the Boston Traveller thus introduces it to notice :- ' A new work of Dr. Spring " The Attraction of the Cross," has been published by M. W. Dodd, of this city. .. " The Attraction of the Cross" is destined to live among the very best prodnetions of the church with which its respected author is connected. The style is remarkably pure, the arrangements of the topies Incid and methodical, and the arguments addressed with great fores to the reason and conscience. It will stand by the side of ' Doil- «fridge's Rise and Progress," " Wilberforce's View." or the " Way of Life," in the libraries of future generations!"-Newark Duily Adr.
"None will wonder at the rare snecess which this volone has won. who l .ve read it. F. r comprehensiveness of views, beauty of style and excellence and fervor of devotional feeling, few works have lately ap- peared that surpass it."-New- York Erangelist.
" The grand relations of the Cross, its holy influences. its comforts and its trimnyhs, are here exhibited in a manner cheering to the heart of the Christian. And the jerusal of this book will, we venture to say greatly assist and comfort the children of G d .. . "- Presbyterian.
