PKELIMINAEY NOTICE 
 
 The Presbyterian Board of Publication -went into operation 
 A D. 1840, and at the time of issuing the Annual Report in 
 May 1856, had published four hundred and seven different 
 works, exclusive of tracts and pamphlets, 
 
 The works enumerated in the following Catalogue are of 
 every variety, from the most profound treatises in theology, to 
 the simplest child's hymn-book and catechism. Many of them 
 are of the highest value even to ministers, and until issued by 
 the Board had never been republished in this country, and 
 could of course only be had by importation, and at such prices 
 as placed them beyond the reach of ministers of limited means. 
 
 Many of the books are also designed to enlighten and estab- 
 lish Presbyterians, more especially in the peculiarities of their 
 own doctrines and polity. Where are to be found works 
 better suited to this purpose, than Fisher's Catechism, Lime 
 Street Lectures, Dickinson on the Five Points, The Great Sup- 
 per, Matthews on the Divine Purpose, Miller on Presbyterian- 
 ism, Miller on Public Prayer, Shaw's Exposition of the Con- 
 fession of Faith, Green's Lectures on the Shorter Catechism, 
 Hodge's History of the Presbyterian Church, &c. ? 
 
 The Catalogue of the Board also contains a rich assortment 
 of practical books. The Life of McCheyne has been thought, 
 b}' some, to rank with those of Martyn and Brainerd, and it 
 surely would be difficult to find a biography in which there is 
 more of a sweet and spirit-cheering piety. Alexander's Reli- 
 gious Experience has been read with pleasure and profit by all 
 denominations, while, by his Practical Sermons, he being dead 
 still continues to preach in many a social meeting, and to teach 
 by many a fireside. The Communicant's Companion, and Com- 
 municant's Manual, are unsurpassed in their adaptation to aid

IV PRELIMINARY NOTICE. 
 
 the people of God in their preparation for the sacramental 
 table. Alexander's Family Worship is probably the best book 
 in this important department of family religion extant ; and 
 as for Alleine's Alarm, Baxter's Call and Saint's Rest, Bun- 
 yan's Pilgrim's Progress and Holy War, Boston's Fourfold 
 State, Doddridge's Rise and Progress — what need is there to 
 speak of their adaptation to alarm the careless, to call the un- 
 converted to repentance, to explain the origin and progress of 
 true religion in the soul, to instruct the pilgrim warrior in his 
 journey ings and his conflicts, and to point him to his everlast- 
 ing rest ? 
 
 Nor have the children, the hope of the Church, been forgot- 
 ten. Not less than two hundred and eight books, adapted to 
 their wants, have been issued ; and the Board have specially 
 endeavoured to guard against such works as would tend to 
 create a taste for novel and other fictitious reading ; and also 
 to afford such instruction, as that the children should not only 
 be trained up Christians, but Presbyterians. 
 
 This Board can do a work for the Presbyterian Church which 
 can be done by no other institution. Societies of a general 
 character are, from their very nature, prohibited from pub- 
 lishing anything which wears even a denominational complexion. 
 In this day when error in every guise is so rife, and untiring 
 efforts to proselyte from their faith, especially the young of 
 our Zion, are made, there is an imperative necessity that our 
 people should better understand the doctrines, history, govern- 
 ment, and ordinances of the Church, within whose pale theii 
 lot is cast. 
 
ALPHABETICAL CATALOGUE. 
 
 The letter M prefixed to a book denotes that it is most suitable for a 
 Minister's Library : C for a Congregational Library, and S for a Sab- 
 bath-school Library. 
 
 It is difficult to draw 'the exact line of distinction in every case, some 
 in one class being equally suitable for another. Purchasers can make 
 their own selection, adding or omitting as they please.

2 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE

 By the Rev. John Corbet. 18mo. 5, 10 and 15 cents.

 tian should employ in examining into the state of his soul. (See No. 344.)

 C 7. The Pleasures of Religion. By the Rev. Henry Forster Burder, 
 
 D. D. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents.

 S 8. French. Protestants ; or Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and 
 its consequences to the Protestant Churches of France and Italy ; containing 
 Memoirs of some of the sufferers. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 This is an interesting memorial of the sufferings of some of the pious Protes- 
 tants of France, under the cruel persecutions of the Church of Rome. 
 
 M 9. The Utility and Importance of Creeds and Confes- 
 sions ; addressed particularly to candidates for the ministry. By the Rev. 
 Samuel Miller, D. D. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 Although this treatise is designed more particularly Tor candidates for the min- 
 istry, all may read it with profit, who wish to see a condensed argument in favour 
 of creeds, and a satisfactory reply to the usual objections urged against such for- 
 mularies. 
 
 S 10. Iiife of John Knox, the Scottish Reformer. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 This is an abridgment of the larger work of McCrie. (See No. 178.) No Pres- 
 byterian should be ignorant of the incidents in the life of such a man as Knox. 
 The time in which he lived; the stirring scenes through which he passed; the 
 grace and courage with which he was endowed ; and the remarkable success attend- 
 ing his work of reform, all point him out as a remarkable instrument in the hand 
 of God, in building up his cause in our world.

 residence in India ; his conversion to Christianity ; his missionary voyage to 
 
 the South Seas, and his peaceful death. ISmo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 
 The perils through which Captain Wilson passed; the sufferings he endured;

 culties of a friend under serious impressions. By the Rev. T. Charlton Henry, 
 D. D., with a Biographical Sketch and Portrait of the author. ISmo. 35 and 
 40 cents. 
 This is a valuable help to persons whose inquiry is, "What must we do to be 
 eaved?" Many are awakened, who eventually relapse into indifference, and this 
 unhappy result is often attributable to injudicious counsel. Although the pecu 
 liarities of all cases of serious concern cannot be embraced in a work of this kind, 
 yet we have no doubt, that all anxious inquirers may find much in these letters 
 to suit their case. 
 
 S 13. A Threefold Cord; or a Precept, Promise, and Prayer from the 
 
 Holy Scripture for every day in the year. 32mo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 This is a neat pocket volume, and may be useful not only for daily reference, 
 but as affording a daily exercise for the memory of young persons. (See Nos. 314 
 and 315.)

 M 14:. The Duties and Responsibilities of the Pastoral 
 
 Office. Being an abridgment of the Reformed Pastor, by the Rev. Rich- 
 ard Baxter. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The Reformed Pastor, by Baxter, has always been regarded as an inestimable 
 vad* mecum for clergymen In its original form it is too diffuse and voluminous, 
 and it is believed, that the abridgment in the present edition, instead of injuring, 
 will greatly promote its usefulness. We do not exaggerate, when we say, that it 
 is inimitable for its pungent appeals to conscience and useful directions, and 
 Bhould not only be read, but read frequently, by all who bear the pastoral office. 
 
 C 15. The Offices of Christ, abridged from the original work of the Rev. 
 George Stevenson, by the Rev. William S. Plumer, D. D. ISmo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 Mr. Stevenson has treated this important subject with much ability, and the 
 abridgment, which does not interfere with the language of the author, preserves 
 the substance and spirit of the original work. 
 C 16. The Divine Piupose, displayed in the works of Providence and 
 Grace. In a series of twenty letters addressed to an inquiring Friend. By 
 the Rev. John Matthews, D. D. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 These letters by the venerable Dr. Matthews, of Indiana, have passed through 
 several editions. They illustrate the doctrine of the divine decrees in the most 
 pleasing and forcible manner. (See No. 216.) 
 
 M17. Presbyterianism the Truly Primitive and Apostoli- 
 cal Constitution of the Church of Christ ; and Infant Bap- 
 tism Scriptural and Reasonable, and Baptism by Sprinkling or Affusion the 
 most suitable and edifying mode. By the Rev. Samuel Miller, D. D. 12mo. 
 40 cents. 
 As tracts, these excellent treatises have been extensively read ; they are now 
 bound in a handsome volume. 
 C 18. The Spirit of Prayer. By the Rev. N. Tincent. 32mo. 15 and 
 
 20 cents. 
 This may safely be pronounced to be an admirable treatise on Frayer, which, 
 although bearing some of the traces of an old fashioned style, is full of the most 
 impressive and instructive matter. 
 
 20. The Constitution of the Presbyterian Church in the 
 
 United States of America, containing the Confession of Faith, the 
 
 Catechisms, and the Directory for the Worship of God ; together with the Plan 
 
 of Government and Discipline. ISmo. 37% cents. 
 
 This is a new stereotype edition, and has been carefully revised ; the Scripture 
 
 references have been put in larger type, and the amended rules have been added. 
 
 It is both a correct and cheap edition.

 cible appeals to stir up in their souls true love to the Saviour.

4 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 S 25. The Life of Major-General Andrew Bu.rn, of the Royal 
 
 Marines. "With a likeness. 18nio. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The biography of General Burn is instructive. He narrates with great sim- 
 plicity and piety the dealings of the Lord with his soul. His profession of reli« 
 gion under inadequate impressions; his subsequent apostasy ; the dreadful effects 
 on his character, produced by a residence in France; his subsequent deliverance; 
 his true conversion, and his steadfast piety to the close of a protracted life, are 
 topics which will all furnish food for serious reflection. 
 
 5 36. Life of Lieutenant-Colonel Biackader. Born 1654— Died 
 
 1729. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 This biography, like the preceding, furnishes strong proof that divine grace can 
 sustain the soul and preserve Christian consistency of character in the most un- 
 toward situations of life. Burn and Biackader. in those two schools of vice, the 
 British navy and army, were pleasing examples of the truth and power of true 
 religion. Biackader, as a brave soldier, exposed to innumerable perils in some 
 of the bloodiest battles which have afflicted humanity, never seemed to forget 
 that his dependence was in God. Let those who excuse their negligence on the 
 ground of want of opportunity for cultivating religious principles, redd this me- 
 moir, and see how piety can be cultivated in the most unpropitious situations. 
 
 S 27. Life of the Rev. George Trosse, of Exeter, England. 18mo. 
 
 20 and 25 cents. 
 The subject of this memoir, in his youth, was licentious and profligate in the 
 extreme, but when renewed by the grace of God he became equally conspicuous 
 for his holy and useful life. The narrative is highly interesting. 
 
 C 28. Scripture Portions for the Afflicted, especially the Sick, 
 
 with reflections from various authors. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The design of this little book is sufficiently indicated by its title. The reflec- 
 tions, suited to the afflicted, are selected from a great variety of the best and most 
 approved divines. It is an excellent little manual for a sick chamber. 
 
 S 29. The Destruction of Jerusalem, an irresistible proof of the 
 
 Divine origin of Christianity. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 It is impossible, as we think, to read this treatise without being struck by the 
 proof which it affords of the truth of Christianity. The predictions of Christ in 
 relation to the overthrow and final destruction of Jerusalem, were so minutely 
 fulfilled, even his enemies being the witnesses, that the conviction cannot be resisted, 
 that he was the Great Prophet. The prediction and fulfilment are so associ- 
 ated, and the details are so thrilling, that young persons will regard this book 
 as a very attractive one. 
 
 C 30. The Christian's Great Interest; or the trial of a saving in- 
 terest in Christ, and the way to attain it. By the Rev. William Guthrie, min- 
 ister at New Kilmarnock, Scotland, 1605. With an Introductory Essay, by 
 the Rev. Thomas Chalmers, D. D. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 A work of such established character as this needs no special commendation 
 from us. Although the style is old, the matter is so rich as amply to reward 
 a perusal. Guthrie should not merely be read once, but be the day-book ol 
 those who wish to try whether they have a saviug interest in Christ. 
 
 C 31. The Life of Andrew Melville, the Scottish Reformer. Abridged 
 from McCrie'8 Life of Melville. With an engraving. lSino. 20 and 25 cents.

 deal of matter uninteresting to the general reader. This judicious little abridg- 
 ment will be read with ease and pleasure, particularly by the young.

 This is a book designed chiefly for Sunday-school scholars, and is well adapted

 and convincing unbelievers ; by the Rev. Robert Fleming. 18mo. 45 and 50

 book affords. It may be regarded as affording a strong proof of the truth of ihe 
 
 Scriptures. 
 
 SI 36. The Iiime Street Lectures; a Defence of the important doc- 
 trines of the gospel, in twenty-six sermons, by several eminent divines. 8vo. 
 $1.25. 
 The Lime Street Lectures have long been regarded as a standard work on Cal- 
 vinistic theology. They have different degrees o! merit, and yet are all charac- 
 terized by forcible arguments in the illustration and enforcement of the great 
 doctrines of grace. The clergyman's library cannot be complete without this book, 
 and the intelligent layman should be acquainted with its contents. 
 
 C 38. A Series of Tracts, on the Doctrines, Order, and Polity of the 
 Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, embracing several on 
 practical subjects, in eigbt volumes. 12mo. $4.00.

 them have been widely circulated, and extensively useful. They are now col- 
 lected iu seven neat duodecimo volumes.

 reference, and to carry with them to ecclesiastical judicatories. With a complete 
 index. 
 
 40. The Larger Catechism of the Westminster Assembly; with 
 proofs from the Scriptures. 18mo. 10 and 15 cents. 
 
 The Larger Catechism is usually bound up with the Confession of Faith, and is 
 seldom found in a separate form; but as advanced classes may wish to commit it 
 to memory, as a move full summary of divine truth than the Shorter Catechism, 
 it has been bound in a neat little volume for their use. 
 
 4rl. The Psalms and Hymns, adapted to public worship, and ap- 
 proved by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United

 now iu use, in bindings suited to every taste. 
 
 C 43. The Return of Prayers. By Thomas Goodwin, B. D. 32mo. 15 
 
 and 20 cents. 
 Goodwin was a popular writer in his day, and although his style is somewhat 
 antiquated, it is sufficiently expressive of the sterling and pious thoughts of the 
 eminent author. This treatise is a beautiful illustration of Psalm lxxxv. 8, in 
 which the author discusses, in a comprehensive way, a subject but too little con- 
 sidered — the answer of prayer. 
 
 C 45. Sketches of Church History; comprising a regular series of th«

6 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 most important and interesting events in the History of the Church, from the 
 
 birth of Christ to the nineteenth century. By the Rev. James Wharey. 18mo. 
 
 35 and 40 cents. 
 
 A succinct, but very satisfactory sketch of events in ecclesiastical history, and 
 
 particularly suited to the edification of those who have not the opportunity of 
 
 perusing larger histories. Every Christian should at lea.st feel interest enough in 
 
 the history of the Church of former ages, to become familial- with the contents of 
 
 this volume. It is an abridgment of Mosheim. 
 
 C 46. The Life of the Rev. John Owen, D. D. abridged from 
 Orme's Life of Owen; and the Life of the Rev. John Jane-way, in 
 
 one volume. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 A comparatively small volume, but embracing the leading events in the lives 
 of two of the most heavenly-minded men that ever fulfilled the earthly pilgrim- 
 age. The writings of Owen are familiar to every theological student; Jaueway 
 was less learned, less known through the press, but kept equal pace with him in 
 that growing conformity to the image of Christ which makes a heaven on earth. 
 The heart is improved by the perusal of such biographies. 
 
 C 47. The Life of the Rev. Richard Baxter, abridged from 
 Orme's Life of Baxter. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 "Who has not read Baxter's Call to the Unconverted, and the Saint's Everlasting 
 Best, by the same author? And who that has read these, has not felt a desire to 
 become personally acquainted, as it were, with the author? Biography affords the 
 necessary introduction, and we may here see the author practically illustrating in 
 his own life, the principles which he taught to mend the hearts and reform the 
 lives of others. 
 
 C 48. The Christian Education of the Children and Youth in the 
 
 Presbyterian Church. By the Rev. Samuel Miller, D. D., and the Rev. J. J. 
 
 Janeway, D. D. 18mo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 
 This neat and useful little volume treats of a subject of unspeakable importance, 
 
 and furnishes most valuable hints both to pastors and the heads of families, to 
 
 whom it is earnestly recommended. 
 
 C 50. Memoir of the Rev. John Rodgers, D. I>. Late pastor of 
 the Wall Street and Brick churches, in the city of New York. By the ReT 
 Samuel Miller, D. D. With a beautiful mezzotint likeness. 18mo. 30 and 35 
 cents. 
 This Biography has peculiar interest for the clergy and members of the Presby- 
 $>rian Church. Its subject was an eminent miuister of the gospel, and one of the 
 fathers of the Presbyterian Church as now organized. The biographer has suc- 
 ceeded in giving a very pleasing portraiture of the truly excellent and exemplary 
 man v. ho held so prominent a place in the Church in the day in which he lived, 
 and has interspersed his narrative with sketches of character, and historical events 
 of great interest. 
 
 C 51. The Mystery of Providence, <fcc. By the Rev. John Flavel, 
 A. D. 1077. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 Flavel is so well known as a writer, as to need no commendation; and this is by 
 no means one of his least esteemed works. The doctrine of the divine prowdenvAj 
 is ably unfolded. 
 
 C 53. The Life of the Rev. Philip Henry; by his son, the Rev 
 Matthew Henry. ISmo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 This is among the best biographies extant. Philip Henry was great in goodness, 
 is well as in kne wledge, and his equally eminent son, the Commentator, has done 
 justice to his memory. "

 chanan, Esq., of Ufracombe. By the late William Shepherd, Esq., of II- 
 fraeoinbe, Devon. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 Mr. Buchanan died in his youth, and a peculiar interest is thrown about his

PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 7 
 
 character from the circumstance, that grace converted him from being a sceptic, 
 into an humble follower of the Lamb. The process by which the great change was 
 effected, is given in detail by his dear friend and biographer, who was called to 
 follow him to eternity before these memorials were published. Let the young, and 
 particularly young men, be induced to read this narrative. 
 
 C 5 1. An Essay on the "Warrant, Nature and Duties of the Office of KULrNG 
 
 Elder in the Presbyterian Church. By the Rev. Samuel Miller, D. D. 18mo. 
 
 35 and 40 cents. 
 
 This is probably the fullest, as we believe it to be the best, treatise written on 
 
 the subject. The Warrant is clearly made out, and the Duties forcibly stated. No 
 
 Billing Elder should be ignorant of this book; and indeed every Presbyterian 
 
 Bhould feel sufficient interest in the peculiarities of his own Church, to desire to 
 
 know the Scriptural Warrant of one of its principal officers. 
 
 3155. Miller on the Christian Ministry, or the Primitive and 
 
 Apostolic Order of the Church of Christ Vindicated. By the Rev. Samuel 
 
 Miller, D. D. 12mo. 60 cents. 
 
 It is a characteristic of this author, that when he addresses himself to a work, 
 
 he comes well prepared ; and if sound arguments, based on incontrovertible facts, 
 
 can satisfy the mind of an inquirer, he is not likely to lay down one of Dr. Miller's 
 
 books dissatisfied. This work is an admirable vindication of the order of the 
 
 Presbyterian Church, and a most satisfactory refutation of the claims of diocesan 
 
 Episcopacy. 
 
 M5 7. The Constitntional History of the Presbyterian 
 
 Chnrch, in the United States of America. By the Rev. Charles Hodge, 
 D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary at Princeton. Two volumes bound 
 in one. 8vo. $1.75. 
 This work should find a place in the library, not only of every minister, but of 
 every Presbyterian family. As an authentic history of our Church it is invalu- 
 able. 
 
 S 59. Labourers in the East; or Memoirs of Eminent Men, who were 
 
 devoted to the service of Christ in India; containing abridged biographies 
 
 of the Rev. Dr. Buchanan, the Rev. Henry Martyn, and the Rev. David Brown. 
 
 With an engraving. 18mo. 35 and 40 cents. 
 
 This is a charming little book, in which the examples of three eminently pious 
 
 servants of Christ are set forth in so attractive a manner as can scarcely fail to 
 
 awaken the desire to go and do likewise. It has a neat wood-cut as a frontispiece, 
 
 representing Henry Martyn, sick by the way side, shortly before his translation 
 
 to that home where the inhabitant shall not say he is sick. 
 
 S 60. "Voyages to and from the Cape of Good Hope ; with an 
 account of a journey into the interior of South Africa. By the Rev. John 
 Campbell. Intended for the young. With several engravings. 18mo. 30 and 
 35 cents. 
 
 Our young readers would be much pleased to accompany Mr. Campbell through 
 a wild part of Africa, to visit the different Missionary stations. The dangers he 
 escaped, the difficulties he surmounted, and the various incidents of his journey, 
 are sufficient to keep the attention engaged. 
 
 M 63. A Discourse concerning the Holy Spirit, wherein an 
 account is given of his name, nature, personality, dispensation, operations, 
 and effects. Also the nature and necessity of gospel holiness, and the differ- 
 ence between grace and morality. By the Rev. John Owen, D. D. With a 
 portrait of the author. 12mo. 75 cents. 
 As a profound theologian, an excellent scholar, and an humble and devoted 
 Christian, few men have equalled the great John Owen. All his works bear the 
 traces of his great mind and pious affections, but some of them have always teen 
 the peculiar favourites of the religious public, and among these his work on th« 
 Holy Spirit occupies a high rank.

8 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 S 63. History of the Inquisition, from its establishment to the pre- 
 sent time. By William Sime. With two engravings. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 
 Many large works have bees written on the Inquisition, hut a portable volume, 
 containing all the principal features of its history, lias been ueeded. The present 
 volume is derived from the most authentic Bources, and may be relied on for its 
 general accuracy. When it is seen what unspeakable iniquity has been perpe- 
 trated under the name of religion, and to what cruel measures Popery has resorted, 
 to abridge human liberty and enslave conscience, every Protestant must love his 
 religion better, and thank God more devoutly for the benefits of the Reformation. 
 
 C 65. L.ife of Philip Melancthon, the German Reformer. With an 
 engraving. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The mild and profoundly learned Melancthon was Luther's right hand man In 
 the Reformation. The aid he furnished in the spread of the glorious work was 
 acknowledged by his great coadjutor, and should be appreciated now. Timidity 
 and boldness were singularly united in his character, and he seemed to be admi- 
 rably qualified to fill the place which he occupied by the side of his more impetu- 
 ous leader, and in a most critical period of the Church. 
 
 C 66. Human Nature in its Fourfold State. By the Rev. Thomas 
 
 Boston, late Minister of the Gospel at Ettrick. 12mo. 50 cents. 
 This has always been a favourite work with the readers of old-fashioned religious 
 books, and we hope the number of those who love such reading may be indefinitely 
 multiplied. Boston is a sound and instructive writer, and every page of his book 
 contains the true spiritual riches. When the reader becomes used to his style, 
 which a little practice will effect, he will not be willing to part with Boston, as he 
 follows him in his description of the fourfold estate of man. 
 
 S 67. The Buty of Children to Love and Seek Christ. By 
 
 the Rev. Duncan Grant, A. M., Minister of Forbes. 32mo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 
 This is an excellent little work for children, written in a very pleasing style 
 suited to their capacities. 
 
 S 68. Life of Ulricus Zuinglius, the Swiss Reformer; with a Bio- 
 graphical Sketch of John GScolampadius. With an engraving. ISmo. 20 and 
 25 cents. 
 
 The virtues of this spirited and undaunted Reformer will always be held in 
 grateful remembrance by the Church of Christ. In the prominent traits of his 
 character, he was not the inferior of Luther, and he was decidedly more enlight- 
 ened on some of the great points in controversy. There are stirring incidents in 
 his life, which will add interest to the perusal. GJcolampadius, a sketch of whose 
 life is appended, was the worthy, pious, learned, and efficient coadjutor of Zu- 
 inglius. 
 
 S 69. Missionary Records. Northern Countries. With an engraving 
 
 ISmo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 These records of the self-denying efforts of the Moravian Missionaries in Green- 
 land, Labrador, Asiatic Russia, and Siberia, possess deep interest for the religious 
 reader who wishes to note the progress of true religion. Young readers will be 
 attracted by the incidents, which are often of the most exciting nature, and the 
 oldest Christians might learn a lesson of patience and faith in the humble piety 
 and uncomplaining endurance of the servants of God whose labours are here 
 recorded. 
 
 C 70. The Force of Truth, an authentic narrative. By the Rev. 
 Thomas Scott, D. D., with a Recommendatory Letter, by the Rev. Samuel Mil- 
 ler, D. D., to which are added eight Letters addressed to Dr. Scott, by the Rev. 
 John Newton. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The Force of Trutl is a narrative of the methods adopted by divine Provi- 
 lence to bring the mind and heart of an unconverted minister, from a state 
 of carnal security and gross error to the knowledge and acknowledgment of 
 the truth aa it is in Jesus. Those who have made Scott's Bible their daily com- 
 
 E anion, will read this narrative with much advantage. The value of this edition 
 ; greatly enhauccd, not only by the recommendatory letter, but by having, for 
 
PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 9 
 
 the first time, associated with it the Letters written hy the eminently pious New- 
 ton to Dr. Scott, about the period when his mind was beginning to inquire for the 
 truth. 
 M 73. Records of the Preshyterian Church in the United. 
 States of America : embracing the Minutes of the Presbytery of Phila- 
 delphia from A. D. 1706 to 1716 : Minutes of the Synod of Philadelphia from 
 A. D. 1717 to 1758 : Minutes of the Synod of New York from A. D. 1745 to 
 1758 : Minutes of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia from A. D. 1758 to 
 1788. 8to. $1.50. 
 In the publication of this volume, a desideratum has been accomplished. The 
 early records of the Church which were in danger of perishing, are thus perma- 
 nently preserved ; and although the work consists of the minutes of ecclesiastical 
 bodies, yet it furnishes much valuable information of the early history of the 
 Church. No Presbyterian clergyman should consider his library complete without 
 this volume. 
 
 C 74. Thoughts on Religions Experience. By the Rev. Archi- 
 bald Alexander, D. D., late Professor in the Princeton Theological Seminary. 
 12mo. 55 cents. 
 These views of experimental religion, coming as they do from a venerable and 
 experienced father in the Church, possess much value. The high estimation in 
 which they are held, may be judged from the fact, that when many of them were 
 first published in a religious newspaper, they were most extensively copied by 
 papers of different denominations, in various parts of the country. They are 
 written in a plain and familiar style, and are pervaded by the kindly and amiable 
 spirit of the author. The volume is a neat one, and is adorned by a portrait of 
 the author, expressly engraved for this work. 
 
 C 76. History of the Covenanters in Scotland. By the author 
 
 of the History of the Reformation, &c. 2 vols., ISmo. 70 and 80 cents. 
 Presbyterians should make themselves acquainted with the prelatic persecutions 
 of their Scottish forefathers, during the reigns of the 1st and 2d Charles, who were 
 alike tyrants of the worst grade. The patient endurance, the uncompromising 
 principle, and the unaffected piety of those men, however caricatured by novelists 
 and misrepresented by interested historians, will be perpetuated as an instructive 
 example to remote generations. These two volumes embrace the material facts 
 and narratives of much larger histories. 
 
 M77. The Church of Rome, the Apostasy; and the Pope, 
 the Man of Sin and Son of Perdition. By William Cunning- 
 hame, Esq., of Lainshaw, in the county of Ayr. To which is added, Anti- 
 christ, a Sermon by the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, A. M. ISmo. 45 and 50 cents. 
 This volume contains two distinct treatises by different authors, but relating to 
 the same subject. It deserves a place by the side of the other works published by 
 the Board on the subject of Romanism. The proof that Popery is the Antichrist 
 of Scripture, the Man of Sin, and the Son of Perdition, is full and satisfactory, 
 and cannot be evaded by all the artifices of Jesuitical commentators. 
 
 M78. The Articles of the Synod of Dort. Translated from the 
 
 Latin, with Notes, by the Rev. Thomas Scott, D. D. To which is added, An 
 
 Introductory Essay, by the Rev. Samuel Miller, D. D. 12mo. 50 cents. 
 
 Next to the Westminster Assembly of Divines, there have been few ecclesiastical 
 
 bodies whose history is more interesting than that of the Synod of Dort. It is 
 
 essential to a full understanding of the controversy between Calvinism and 
 
 Arminianism. This account, translated by Scott, is the best and most authentic; 
 
 and it is enriched by the Introductory chapter by the Rev. Dr. Miller. 
 
 C 79. The Chief End of Man. An Exposition of the First Answer to 
 
 the Shorter Catechism. By the Rev. John Hall. ISmo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 The answer to a single, but a very important question in the Shorter Catechism, 
 affords the theme of this little volume. The chief end of man is very fully and 
 luminously illustrated, and the author has succeeded in compressing much in* 
 struction into a small space.

10 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 C 80. Dickinson on the Five Points. The Scripture Doctrine coi> 
 cerning some important points of Christian Faith: particularly, Eternal

 Saints' Perseverance. Represented and applied in five Discourses. By Jona- 
 than Dickinson, A.M., formerly Minister of the Gospel at Elizabethtown, New 
 Jersey. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 The doctrines in controversy between Calvinists and Arminians form the subject 
 Of this book, and the name of the writer, who was decidedly one of the greatest 
 theologians of his day, will be a sufficient guaranty for the ability with which the 
 doctrines of the Bible are maintained in opposition to Arminian errors. 
 
 M 81. Tlie Doctrine of Justification \>y Faith, through the 
 imputation of the righteousness of Christ, explained, confirmed, and vindi- 
 cated. By the Kev. John Owen, D. D. Svo. $1.30.

 in this volume. To the student of theology, who wishes to obtain clear and far- 
 reaching views of the gospel si heme, this work will be invaluable. 
 
 C 82. Familiar Letters to a Gentleman, upon a variety of sea- 
 sonable and important subjects in religion. By Jonathan Dickinson, A.M., 
 late Minister of the Gospel at Elizabethtown, New Jersey. 12mo. 60 cents. 
 This is eminently a practical treatise, in which the pious writer, in a series of 
 familiar letters, obviates the ol jections which arise in the carnal mind to the reli- 
 gion of the gospel, and leads the inquirer to an intelligent reception of the truth 
 as it is in Jesus. It is particularly appropriate for the relief of those who are 
 troubled with sceptical doubts on religion. 
 
 S 83. Eastern Manners, illustrative of the Old Testament History. 
 By the Rev. Robert Jamieson, Minister of Currie. "With engravings. 12mo. 
 35 and 40 cents. 
 Whatever tends to illustrate and explain the Holy Scriptures should be highly 
 esteemed. Historical facts and incidents, and oriental customs and manners, 
 throw light upon Scripture, as well as confirm its truth. This has been success- 
 fully done by the little work before us, which will be alike valuable to the Sab- 
 bath-school and the family. 
 
 M 84:. Discourses on Christ Crucified. By the Rev. Stephen Char- 
 nock, 1564. 18nio. 30 and 35 cents. 
 The labours of Charnock have long been appreciated for their evangelical tone 
 and their practical character. This volume contains a valuable extract from his 
 works in relation to the redemption of man by the blood of the Cross. 
 
 M 86. Lectures on the Shorter Catechism of the Presbyterian 
 Church in the United States of America. Addressed to youth. By the Rev. 
 Ashbel Green, D. D. With a beautiful likeness of the author. 2 vols. 12mo. 
 $1.40. 
 There are few works which present a more condensed and yet satisfactory illus- 
 tration of the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, than these Lectures of the 
 venerable Dr. Green. Founded on the Westminster Assembly's Shorter Catechism, 
 they bring every point distinctly before the mind, and at once explain, prove, and 
 enforce it. The work is an acquisition, particularly to the youth of the Church. 
 
 M87. Edwards on Baptism. Candid Reasons for renouncing the 
 
 principles of Auti-P;edobaptism. Also, A Short Method with the Baptists. 
 
 By Peter Edwards, several years Pastor of a Baptist Church at Portsea, Hants. 
 
 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 
 The author of this volume was once a Baptist clergyman, strongly attached 
 
 to his peculiar sentiments, and as strongly prejudiced ajraiust the doctrine of 
 
 infant baptism. Possessing, however, a vigorous mind and an honest intention, 
 
 he examined the subject thoroughly, and the result was a conviction that his 
 
 former position was untenable. Confining his attention in this essay to nfeir 
 
 36 
 
PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 11 
 
 principal topics, he has produced an argument of unusual power and conclusive" 
 ness. It cannot be overcome, and all attempts hitherto employed to set it aside

 32mo. 5, 10 and 15 cents.

 eminently good man; to which are appended the Resolutions adopted by Jonathan 
 
 Edwards for the direction of his religious life. 
 
 M 89. Institutes of the Christian Religion. By John Calvin. 
 
 Translated from the original LatiD, and collated with the author's last edition 
 
 in French, by John Allen. 2 vols., Svo. $3.00. 
 
 This masterly performance of the great Calvin is so well known already, and its 
 
 reputation is so thoroughly established, that we need only say, that this edition 
 
 has been prepared with unusual care, and it is believed to be the cheapest, as well 
 
 as the most correct, ever published in English. 
 
 C 90. Immanuel ; or True Religion a living Principle in the minds of Men. 
 By the Rev. Samuel Shaw, A. M. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 This is a treatise by an old writer revived, and slightly abridged, which displays 
 all that richness of scriptural illustration and deep insight into the human heart, 
 so characteristic of the practical writers of a former age.

 ber. With engravings. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 Whatever may tend to engage the attention of youth to the cause of missions, 
 should be regarded with favour. This collection of missionary incidents will have 
 chis tendency, and will form a valuable addition to every Sabbath -school library. 
 
 S 92. Traditions of the Covenanters; or Gleanings among the 
 Mountains. By the Rev. Robert Simpson, Sanquhar. (See Nos. 188 and 189.) 
 ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 The sufferings of the Covenanters of Scotland, should be kept in grateful re- 
 membrance by every Presbyterian. Their love to God and their attachment to the 
 polity and doctrines of Presbyterianism. were fully evinced in the sacrifices they 
 endured rather than abandon them. The author of this little book has rescued 
 many interesting incidents of their history, hitherto preserved only by tradition. 
 
 C 93. The Scripture Doctrine of Sanctincation stated and 
 defended against the errors of Perfectionism. By the Rev. W. D. Snodgrass, 
 D. D. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 This is a well written and very discriminating treatise on the doctrine of Sanc- 
 tificatiou, particularly in relation to its perversion and abuse by modern Perfec- 
 tionists. It would be a good antidote to circulate where that pestilent heresy 
 prevails. 
 
 C 94. The Christian's Portion ; or the Charter of a Christian. By 
 the Rev. K. Sibbes, D. D. 1688. 3'Jmo. and 15 cents. 
 Another valuable little treatise of an old writer revived. A little practice in 
 readiug these old writers, will confirm the opinion that ''old wine is best." 
 
 C 95. The Life of the Rev. James Hervey, M. A., Rector of 
 Weston Favel. And the Life of the Rev. Augustus M. Toplady, 
 
 Vicar of Broad-Hembury. ISmo. 30 and 35 rents. 
 The eminent piety of these two distinguished divines is generally known. Al- 
 though iu the English Established Church, they were free from exelusiveness. not 
 in bondage to forms, and strongly Calviuistic in their doctrines. These memoirs 
 form a volume of truly delightful biography for the edification cf all true Chris-

12 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 C 9G. The Nature, Power, Deceit, and Prevalency of In. 
 
 dwelling Sin in Believers. By the Rev. John Owen, D. D. lSino. 30 and 
 35 cents. 
 Owen is a heavy -writer in many respects, and his style is uncouth, hut all this 
 is compensated by his critical knowledge of the Scriptures and his deep acquaint- 
 ance with the workings of the human heart. This is not the least valued of hifl 
 many practical works. 
 
 C 98. An Historical Sketch of the Protestant Church of 
 France, from its origin to the present time, with parallel notices of the 
 Church of Scotland, during the same period. By the Rev. John G. Lorimer, 
 Glasgow. 12mo. $1.00. 
 This is a volume embracing much, and to most readers, hitherto inaccessible in- 
 formation respecting the early French Protestant Church, in the season of its 
 glory, in its dreadful persecutions, its unhappy decline, and in its present state of 
 comparative revival. The author at the same time has collaterally embodied a 
 history of the Scotch Church, which in its earlier history had many points of simi- 
 larity with the French Church, although in the result so much more highly 
 favoured. The volume is rich in materials, and will be highly valued by the lovers 
 of ecclesiastical history. 
 
 C 99. History of the Progress and Suppression of the Re- 
 formation in Spain in the Sixteenth Century. By the Rev. 
 Thomas McCrie, D. D. l'2mo. 65 cents. 
 "We have been accustomed to regard Spain as almost a blank in the moral world, 
 on which the light of truth had never shone; but in earlier times, before it was 
 completely subjugated to Popery, it possessed the truth, and even at the period of 
 the great Reformation, it struggled to emancipate itself, and was enriched by the 
 blood of martyrs. Dr. McCrie. so well known as the Biographer of Knox and 
 Melville, has rendered a valuable service to the Church by his researches in Span- 
 ish and Italian History, and by the publication of his two admirable volumes on 
 the Suppression of the Reformation in Spaiu aud in Italy. 
 
 100. Questions on the Confession of Faith and Form 
 of Government of the Presbyterian Church, with a selection 
 of Scripture Proofs: Designed for the Instruction of Classes in the Doctrines 
 of said Church. By the Rev. Henry It. Weed, D. D. 18mo. 10 cents. 
 
 These, as the title imports, are questions adapted to bring out to the notice of a 
 learner, all the points embraced in the Westminster Confession of Faith. We can 
 scarcely conceive of a more important, and we might say imperative, duty of a 
 Presbyterian pastor, than to bring up his tlock in a thorough knowledge of the 
 Standards of the Church. It would prove a bulwark against heresy. 
 
 C Nos. 101 to 113.— The British Reformers. A valuable series 
 of twelve volumes, embracing the hives and Writings of the British Reformers, 
 under this general denomination, is now brought before the American public 
 through the liberality of an esteemed friend to the Presbyterian Board of 
 Publication. While each volume is complete in itself, the whole comprises a 
 vast fund of instruction. Each volume contains a beautiful engraving. 
 12mo. $9, or 75 cents for any volume separate.

 110. Bee on. 
 
 111. Jewell. 
 
 113. Fox, Bale, and Coverdale. 
 
 The best and most striking works of these eminent servants of God are here 
 brousrht together, and the reader has the high privilege of holding converse with 
 such men as Wickliff, Tindal, Latimer, Hooper. Bradford. Cranmer, Knox. Beam, 
 Jewell, and many others. The republication of these volumes must be regarded 
 as peculiarly seasonable at a time when Popery appears to be reviving, and every 
 watchman ou the walls of Zion should be conversant with them. 
 
 C 113. The Book of Popery. A Manual for Protestants. Descriptive 
 of the Origin, Progress, Doctrines, Kites and Ceremonies of the Papal Church. 
 By Ingram Cobbin, M. A. ISmo. and cents. 
 The desigu of this volume is to give a clear and succinct history, or rather de- 
 scription of Popery. All the peculiarities of that great and monstrous system are 
 presented, and technical matters explained, so that to most readers it would be an ex- 
 cellent book of reference, when they might wish any matter relating to Popery 
 explained to them. 
 
 114. Plain Catechetical Instructions for Young Com- 
 municants, designed to assist them in forming Scriptural views of the 
 Lord's Supper, with an address to young persons not yet Communicants, and 
 a few meditations and helps for self-examination. By the Rev. John Barr, of 
 Glasgow. lSnio. 10 cents. 
 
 This is a well written and instructive little work, which will be found particularly 
 serviceable to young communicants. 
 
 M 117. A Treatise on the right use of the Fathers, in the decision of Con- 
 troversies existing at this day in Religion. By John Daille, Minister of the 
 Gospel in the Reformed Church of Paris. "With a Preface by the Rev. G. 
 Jekyll, LL. B. Second American edition. 12mo., pp. 416. Price 80 cents. 
 A valuable and learned work, which should be found in the library of ministers 
 
 of all Protestant denominations. 
 
 M118. History of the Progress and Suppression of the 
 Reformation in Italy, in the Sixteenth Century. Including a Sketch 
 of the History of the Reformation in the Grisons. By the. Rev. Thomas Mc 
 Crie, D. D. 12mo. 75 cents. 
 Even Italy, the principal seat of Antichrist, once partook of the light of the 
 Reformation, but having put away that light from her, she is sunk into gross dark- 
 ness. The excellent, author of this history, displays in it the same research 
 and accuracy, and the same bold and spirited style which characterize his other 
 writings. 
 C 131. Narratives of Revivals of Religion In Scotland, 
 
 Ireland, and Wales. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 A history of God's merciful and marvellous work in the conversion of sinners 
 must always be interesting to the true Christian. These narratives are authentic, 
 and display the operations of the Holy Spirit in a manner so striking as to call 
 forth the prayer, " Lord, revive thy work !" 
 
 S 133. A Selection of Passages of Scripture for Young 
 Persons to commit to Memory. By the Rev. Wm. Brown, M.D. 
 32mo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 This volume is composed entirely of Scripture passages, arranged under differ- 
 ent heads. The matter is precious, while the arrangement is very judicious. 
 
 C 133. Dying Thoughts, or Meditations on Death and Heaven. By the 
 
 Rev. Wm. Crawford. lSiuo. 35 and 40 cents. 
 
 An admirable volume, rich in thought and pious feeling. The author was an 
 
 estimable divine who, being long apparently on the borders of the grave, made 
 
 death and eternity the principal subjects of his thoughts and public preaching. 
 
 This book will prove a real friend to the devout reader. (See £s"o. 295.)

14 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 C 12*. Private Thoughts on Religion, and other subjects con- 
 neoted with it, by the Rev. Thomas Adain, with a sketch of his life. 18ino. 30 
 and 35 cents. 
 These thoughts evince a profound acquaintance with the word of God and the 
 workings of the human heart. Very much is compressed in few words. There is 
 no dilution, but much concentration of thought. No Christian can read the vol- 
 ume without instruction, and, we might say, spiritual improvement. 
 
 125. An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews, in 
 
 the form of questions and answers, designed for Sabbath-schools and Bible 
 Classes. By the Rev. J. J. Janeway, D. D. 18mo. 15 cents. 
 An excellent exposition of a difficult, but truly delightful portion of God's word. 
 In a simple and familiar style the author has brought out the true meaning of 
 the epistle. It may be strongly recommended to teachers of Bible Classes. 
 
 C 126. The Almost Christian Discovered ; or the false profes- 
 sor tried and cast. By the Kev. Matthew Mead. 18mo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 This work is so well known as a standard book of practical divinity that it needs 
 no commendation. It is pungent, searching, and to those who have but a name 
 to live, a fearful detector of a false profession. 
 
 C 127. A Guide to Acquaintance with God. By the Rev. James 
 Sherman, Minister of Surry Chapel, London. 32mo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 To become acquainted with God is the highest duty and privilege of man, and 
 the judicious advice of those who have gone before in the acquisition should be 
 highly prized. Mr. Sherman may be safely recommended as a friendly guide, who 
 will point to God and lead the way. 
 
 J>I. 12 8. Popery and Protestantism. Dialogue between a Popish 
 Priest and an English Protestant : wherein the principal points and arguments 
 of both religions are truly proposed, and fully examined. By Matthew Poole, 
 Author of the Synopsis Criticorum. ISmo. 25 and 30 cents. 
 
 Matthew Poole is the author of the Dialogue, and his name is a sufficient guar- 
 anty for the manner in which the work is executed. No one can carefully read it 
 without obtaining a clear comprehension of the general principles of this great, 
 and, at the present day, agitating controversy. 
 
 S 132. The Missionary in the Wilderness, or Grace displayed 
 
 among the Heathen. ISmo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 David Brainerd is the missionary, and this little volume is composed of extracts 
 from his diary. Every memorial of this precious saint should be highly esteemed 
 by the church and to the young especially we commend his example. 
 
 C 133. The English Martyrology, abridged from Fox. By Char- 
 lotte Elizabeth. 2 vols. 12mo. Embellished with eight beautiful engravings. 
 $1.00. 
 The history of the martyrs should be familiar to every Protestant. A know- 
 ledge of the circumstances of the lives and deaths of those who died for Christ's 
 sake is calculated to render the truth for which they died dear to every Christian's 
 heart. We need not say that these volumes are deeply interesting, and that they 
 have been prepared for the press by a skilful hand. 
 
 C 134. The Communicant's Companion; or Instructions for the 
 right receiving of the Lord's Supper. By Matthew Henry; with an introduc- 
 tory Essay by the Rev. John Brown, of Edinburgh. Embellished with a por- 
 trait. 12mo. 50 cents. 
 This work is so well known for its excellence as to need no commendation. It 
 is rich in thought, in Christian experience, in instruction. Let every Christian 
 read and study it. It is adorned by a portrait of the author, expressly engraved 
 for this work. (See No. 246.)

 C 135. The Trial of the Witnesses of the Resurrection 
 
 of Jesus, with the Sequel of the Trial. By Thomas Sher- 
 lock, D. D. Bishop of London. 12mo. 45 cents. 
 The fabric of the Christian system rests upon the truth of Christ's resurrection; 
 and in this little work the evidence in support of this great fact is ingeniously set 
 forth under the forms of a jury trial. The Sequel was called forth by an attack on 
 the former work, and is now, we believe, for the first time published in this coun- 
 try. Both together form an excellent body of evidence in proof of the truth of 
 Christianity. 
 
 C 136. The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soxil, 
 
 illustrated in a course of serious and practical addresses, suited to persons of 
 every character and circumstance, with a devout meditation and prayer added 
 to each chapter. By Philip Doddridge, D. D. Embellished with a portrait. 
 12uio. 50 cents. 
 The praise of this work is in all the churches, and there are very few uninspired 
 compositions which have been so extensively blessed in the conversion of souls to 
 God. Those who are without God and without hope, should be earnestly per- 
 suaded by their religious friends to read this volume. The portrait of the author 
 is beautifully executed. 
 
 C 137. The L.ives of the British Reformers. With twelve por- 
 traits. 12mo. $1.00. 
 It is a natural desire to know something of the private life and personal history 
 of those justly celebrated men whose labours were so instrumental in promoting 
 the great work of the Reformation. To gratify this desire, the lives of some of 
 the most eminent of the British Reformers have been collected in the present vol- 
 ume. The religious reader cannot be disappointed in its contents. It is adorned 
 with twelve beautiful portraits. 
 
 S 13 8. Reniarltahle Places mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. 18mo. 
 
 With engravings. 20 and 25 cents. 
 An excellent little work for Sunday School Libraries, and intended for general 
 perusal. The reader will find in it descriptions, derived from distinguished mo- 
 dern travellers, of some of the most remarkable places mentioned in the sacred 
 volume. It is embellished with several very good cuts. 
 
 C 139. The Book of Poetry, prepared for the Presbyterian Board of 
 Publication. 12mo. $1.25. 
 The minor poems which compose this volume are from various sources, and 
 many of them possess great merit as compositions, as well as for their expression 
 of devout feelings. It is superior in its mechanical execution, and is illustrated 
 with several exquisite wood engravings. The lovers of sacred poetry cannot fail to 
 Qnd in it much to gratify their taste and improve their hearts. 
 
 C 14:0. Calvin and his Enemies. A Memoir of the Life, Character 
 and Principles of Calvin. By theRev. Thomas Smyth, D. D. 18mo. pp. 180. 
 Price 30 and 33 cents. 
 Tli is is a new. revised, and enlarged edition of this excellent work, which has 
 long been on the Catalogue of the Board. Dr. Smyth has availed himself of new 
 sources of information as to the character of Culvin, not accessible until within a 
 ('■»• years past. It will be found a most valuable contribution to the cause of 
 truth in vindicating the character of one of the greatest aud best men who ever 
 lived, from the malignant calumnies of those who hated and slandered him, be- 
 cause they hated the truth which he so ably defended. 
 
 C 141. Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion, 
 
 derived from the literal fulfilment of Prophecy ; particularly as illustrated by 
 the History of the Jews, and by the discoveries of recent travellers. By Alex* 
 auder Keith, D. D. With steel and wood engravings. 12mo. 60 cents. 
 This work has gone through various editions both in England and in this coun- 
 try, but the present has the last improvements from the author's hand. As an 
 illustration of the prophecies, it possesses deep interest and strongly engages the

 attention. It has such an established reputation that it needs no commendation 
 from us. This edition is beautifully printed, and embellished with steel and 
 wood engravings. 
 
 S 143. Scenes ami Adventures in Africa, collected from Moffat's 
 Missionary Labours in Africa. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 Full of incident and adventure, the Scenes in Africa is likely to be a very popu- 
 lar book with young readers. The title indicates the source whence the materials 
 have been derived. Several of the scenes are illustrated by excellent wood-cuts. 
 
 C 145. Annals of the Persecution in Scotland, from the Re. 
 storation to the Revolution. By James Aikman, Esq., author of the History 
 of Scotland, &c. Embellished with Engravings. 2 vols. 12mo. $1.00. 
 This work is not only particularly seasonable, but presents a mass of facts rela- 
 ting to the early persecution of the Presbyterians in Scotland, which will awaken 
 thrilling interest in the bosom of the reader. We know few works issued of late 
 years from the press which are so deserving of the consideration of the Presby- 
 terians of America as this. Its value is greatly increased by its engravings. 
 
 C 146. Evidences of the Authenticity, Inspiration, and 
 
 Canonical Authority of the Holy Scriptures. By the Rev. 
 
 Archibald Alexander, D. D. Embellished with a portrait of the author. 12mo. 
 
 55 cents. 
 
 This is one of the most complete and conclusive demonstrations of the divine 
 
 origin of the Scriptures extant. Its wide circulation cannot fail to retard the spread 
 
 of infidel principles. 
 
 C 147. The Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan. Most carefully 
 collated with the edition containing the author's last additions and correc- 
 tions. With explanatory notes by Thomas Scott, D D., and a life of the au- 
 thor by Josiah Conder, Esq. Embellished with twenty-five engravings. $1.50. 
 All have heard of the Pilgrim's Progress, and no book perhaps has been more 
 generally read. The present edition is the most beautiful which has ever pro- 
 ceeded from the American press. The style of the typography is unsurpassed, and 
 the engravings are of the first order for beauty and finish. Considering the great 
 expense incurred in preparing this work, it is one of the cheapest books of the age. 
 
 M 148. The Necessity of Reforming the Church, presented 
 to the Imperial Diet at Spires, A. D. 1554. To which is added, a Paternal Ad- 
 monition by Pope Paul III. to the Emperor Charles V., and Remarks on the 
 Paternal Admonition by John Calvin, written in Latin, and now first trans- 
 lated into English by II. Beveridge, Esq., Advocate. 18mo. 30 and 35 cents. 
 This admirable treatise from the pen of Calvin is valuable, as exhibiting the 
 views of the great Reformer on the grounds of the necessity of a Church reform 
 in hif day. It has lost none of its interest by the lapse of time. 
 
 S 149. The Prophet Daniel, considered in a series of Lectures for 
 
 a Sunday-school, translated from the Erench. Illustrated with wood engrav- 
 ings. ISmo. 35 and 40 cents. 
 This is designed as a Sunday-school book, and as an assistant to the teachers of 
 
 Bible classes. For this it is well suited by the simplicity with which it treats a 
 
 very difficult subject. 
 
 S 15 0. Addresses to Children, 32mo. with a wood-cut. 10 and 15 cents. 
 A peculiar talent seems to be necessary in addressing the understandings and 
 Hearts of children, and the author of the present little volume possesses it in no 
 ordinary degree. The addresses may be used by parents and Sabbath-school teach- 
 ers to engage the attention of children to religious truth. 
 
 S 151 The Huguenot Galley Slaves, a story for the young. By 
 the Rev. C. G. Barth, D. D. translated from the German. 18mo. with wood-

 This story, a narrative of facts, has all the elements necessary to interest tho

 tachment to the truth subjected her to many trials, which she bore with exem- 
 plary fortitude. Poor, blind, and often destitute of the necessaries of life, she 
 still found religion to be a source of unfailing comfort. Her story is deeply inter- 
 esting. 
 
 C 154. The Only Rule of Faith. An Exposition of the Second An- 
 swer of the Shorter Catechism. By the Rev. John Hall. 18mo. 20 and 25

 appreciated by the intelligent reader. 
 
 S 155. Missionary Sketches for Children, Eight wood-cuts. 
 
 32ino. 10 and 15 cents.

 graphy. 
 
 S 15 8. Another Iiily Gathered. Conversion of James 
 
 L.aing. By the Kev. K. Murray MeCheyne. 32mo. 5 and 10 cents. 
 We have seldom read the memoir of a young Christian which pleased us as much 
 a^ this. It contains a beautiful illustration of the efficacy of Divine grace in en- 
 lightening the mind and sanctifying the heart. We earnestly commend its peru- 
 sal to the young. 
 
 S 159. Children coining to Christ, and Lambs of the 
 Flock. By the Rev. R. M. McCheyne. 32mo. 5 cents.

 The Rev. R, M. McCheyne was a young Scotch clergyman of great abilities and 
 eminent piety. His brief life was most laboriously anil usefully spent in the ser- 
 vice of the gospel, and few have instruinentally accomplished more than he in the

 gospel it may be specially recommended as one of the best adapted books to encour- 
 age and enforce ministerial faithfulness.

 ing the metropolis of the World, in the losing and taking again of the town

 The Holy "War would have rendered any man popular who had not first written 
 the Pilgrim's Progress; and, although it is undoubtedly inferior to that master 
 performance, it has intrinsic merits as an allegory, and deserves to be much more 
 generally read than it is. This edition is a very fine one, and is enriched by ad-

 ing : 1. Forms of Prayer, public and private. 2. A compend of Bible truth.

 Manual is well adapted to interest and enlighten them, and its excellent materials 
 in prose and poetry make it one of the very best books, next to the Bible, which

 C 339. The Christian Soldiers; or the triumphs of grace in the army.

 are forcibly presented. While man, on the one hand, is exhibited in his guilt, ruin,

 be seriously studied and pondered.

 Many persons excuse their neglect of religious reading from want of time. Here 
 is a book which will, in a measure at least, remove this ground of apology ; for, 
 eurely, no one can be so absorbed in lawful occupations, as not to have time to 
 read the text, the verse, and the reflection which are here assigned to every day in 
 the year.

 Devon. Abridged from the memoir written by the Rev. Charles Bridges, M. A. 
 18mo. 25 and 30 cents.

 amply prove ; and her memoir is deeply interesting, as exhibiting the struggles 
 of her mind in divesting itself of erroneous views, and attaining a just compre- 
 hension of that glorious system of truth, in the full conviction of which she en- 
 joyed a firm and settled hope of eternal life.

 M351. Thoughts on Public Prayer. By the Rev. Samuel Miller, 
 
 D. D., of Princeton. With a portrait. 12mo. 60 cents. 
 This, as the last literary effort of a man greatly beloved in the Presbyterian

 be generally acceptable. On the abuses and right performance of public duties it 
 contains many excellent hints, the result of long experience.

28 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 In a very pleasing style, the author presents a summary of the most striking 
 evidences that the Christian religion, so Car from being a cunningly-devised fable, 
 is manifestly a revelation from God. If such books were put into the hands of 
 our youth, they would be in comparatively little danger of being seduced by a 
 soul-destroying iniidelity. 
 
 S 255. Poor Blind Sally. By the Rev. Joseph Warren, Missionary in 
 
 India. 32mo. 3 cents.

 Richard l.axtcr. lSino. 20 and 25 cents. 
 Any one who knows the character of Richard Baxter is aware that he held much 
 Bacred and sweet converse with God, and could therefore speak from experience, 
 when pointing out to others the method of attaining converse with God, when, 
 left alone by the visitation of death among our friends, affliction creates a solitude, 
 around which God alone can throw rays of light and cheerfulness. 
 
 S 25 7-35 8. Conversations of a Fatlier with his Children. Series 
 
 1st and 2d. ISmo. with engravings. 50 and CO cents. 
 If these two volumes were submitted to the judgment of almost any of our 
 young friends, we could readily anticipate their verdict. They would with one 
 voice pronounce them " first rate." The family scenes, the amusements of the 
 younger members, their readiness to receive instruction, their happiness in their 
 father's society, are all skilfully depicted, and mixed up with the most agreeable 
 entertainment.

 Of the celebrated Pilgrim's Progress. This is a brief sketch of his wonderful life, 
 during which he was rescued from the deepest profligacy and degradation, to be 
 made an eminent minister of the Gospel, and one of the most famous among

 C 263. The African Preacher ; an authentic narrative. By the Rev. 
 William S. White, of Virginia. ISmo. with two engravings. 20 and 25 cents. 
 
 This is one of the most engaging narratives ever published. The African 
 Preacher was a Virginia slave, upon whose mind, without the aids of education, 
 God poured a celestial light, which enabled him to comprehend the great truths 
 of the Bible, and into whose heart he infused a holy love for religion. The best 
 educated persons delighted to listen to him and learn wisdom from his lips.

 ecuted.

 easy verse, written especially for them by the pious and learned Dr. Doddridge. 
 
 C 266. The Christian's Daily Walk, in holy security and peace. 
 By the Rev. Henry Scudder. 12mo. 60 cents. 
 Solid instruction forms the staple of this volume. It was written two hundred 
 years ago. and received the commendation of such men as Dr. Owen and Mr. Bax- 
 ter. To those whose taste has not been vitiated by the light and frothy literature 
 ■which is but too common in the present day, the Christian's Daily Walk will 
 prove an acceptable companion.

SO DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 C 879. Pious Meditations and Devout Breathings. By the Rev. Joseph 
 
 Hull, D. D., Bishop of Norwich. lSmo. 25 and 30 ceuts. 
 Bishop Hall was a great and good man. who left behind voluminous writings. 
 The selections in this book are made from his devotional writings, and the style is 
 only so (ax changed as to make it intelligible in modern times. The thoughts are 
 Btriking, and bear evidence that be was a man who conversed much with God and 
 his own heart, and whose knowledge of the Holy Scriptures was profound. 
 
 S 380. The Shepherd Boy of Bethlehem, "William and his Dog, Profane 
 Swearing, and The Sailor Boys of Eimeo. ISmo. 10 cents. 
 
 S 881. The Story of William Tyndale, My own Bible, and The Un- 
 grateful Child. 18mo. 10 cents. 
 This is a continuation of the Africaner series of juvenile books. Each volume 
 has a beautiful wood-cut. 
 
 C 388. The Spiritual Garden, or Traits of Christian Character De- 
 lineated. 18mo. with a handsome wood-cut. 25 and 30 cents. 
 This volume is composed of a number of valuable Tracts by the Rev. James 
 Hamilton, the Rev. H. P. Burder, and the Rev. R. M. McCheyne. It comprises the 
 Tine, the Cedar, the Palm, the Olive, the Church in the House, the Government 
 of the Thoughts, the Government of the Tongue, Remember Eli, or a Solemn Call 
 to Parents, and a Pastor's Inquiries; all interesting, practical, and instructive. 
 Here is a Garden containing trees, "good for food, and pleasant to the eyes, and to 
 he desired to make one wise." 
 
 C 8 83. Bethany, or the Sickness, Death, and Resurrection of Lazarus, by 
 
 the Rev. R. M. McCheyne. 18mo. with two engravings. 15 and 20 cents. 
 This like everything else from McChcyne's pen, breathes a sweet spirit of gentle, 
 humble piety. We have not here the bold and manly logic of Paul, nor the ardent 
 and sometimes impetuous fervour of Peter; but we have a tender, confiding John, 
 pouring out in unaffected terms his love for the Master on whose bosom he leans, 
 and his yearnings of heart that all should love such a Master, and that loving 
 him they should love one another. All who are familiar with the writings of this 
 youthful messenger of God, may readily imagine how he would deport himst*f 
 when in company with Jesus, Mary and Martha, at the tomb of Lazarus. 
 
 C 384:. The Redeemer's Legacy, or Peace from the Saviour's Hands 
 
 and Side. By the Rev. W. J. McCord. ISmo. 15 and 20 cents. 
 This volume is highly practical and suggestive. The writer's aim is to remove 
 the darkness and doubts with which the minds of many sincere Christians are dis- 
 turbed, and to administer to all such that peace which the Redeemer has left as a 
 legacy to his faithful followers. It is ri*-h in themes of consolation and encourage- 
 ment to God's afflicted, tempest-tossed people. 
 
 C 385. The Anxious Inquirer after Salvation directed and 
 
 encouraged. By John Angell James. ISmo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 A work, the merit of which has been well attested. It has gone through vari- 
 ous editions, and has been singularly useful to those whose attention has been 
 awakened to the great concern of salvation. We cordially commend it to the anx- 
 ious inquirer, in connection with another book of similar character found on this 
 catalogue, viz. : Henry's Anxious Inquirer. (Xo. 12.) 
 
 C 386. Prize Essays on the Temporal Advantages of the 
 Sahhath, considered in relation to the Working Classes. Containing 
 Heaven's Antidote to the Curse of Labour, by John Allan Quinton, 
 Journeyman Printer; The Torch of Time, by David Farquhar, Ma- 
 chinist; and The Pearl of Days, by a Labourer's Daughter. 12mo. 
 with nine beautiful engravings. 50 cents. 
 The importance of the subject, the peculiarity of the authorship, the style of 
 Jmblication, and the cheapness of the. volume, render this one of the most attrac- 
 tive books ever published by the Board.

PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 31 
 
 S 287. A Bible Dictionary, adapted for the use of Bible Classes, Sab- 
 bath Schools, and Families. 12mo. 50 aud 55 cents. 
 A work of this kind, which should contain all that is needed to illustrate Bibli- 
 cal Geography, History, Biography, and Antiquities, and at the same time exhibit 
 the doctrines of the Bible as laid down in our standards, has long been a desidera- 
 tum in our church. It is hoped that this attempt to supply the want, which is 
 the fruit of much study aud labour, will prove generally acceptable, and highly 
 useful to parents and children, teachers and pupils. It has been brought up to 
 the present stage of geographical and archaeological discoveries, a large amount of 
 information is imparted in a very few words — all extraneous and irrelevant mat- 
 ter being omitted, and instead of the unseemly and unartistic wood-cuts, with 
 which many of the Bible Dictionaries are disfigured, this work is enriched with a 
 set of maps, with coloured tracings, in the best style of steel engraving. No family 
 should be without such an aid for understanding the meaning of the Scriptures. 
 To the Sabbath-school Library it will be an invaluable addition. 
 
 C 28 8. An Affectionate Address to Mothers. By the Rev. Daniel 
 
 Baker, D. D., of Texas. 18mo. 10 cents. 
 A most important subject is here presented, in a form which cannot fail to in* 
 terest and profit those to whom it is addressed. 
 
 C 389. The Christian Philosopher Triumphing over 
 Death ; or, A Narrative of the Closing Scenes of the Life of William Gor- 
 don, M. D., F. L. S., of Kingston-upon-Hull. By Newman Hall, B. A., with a 
 lithographed likeness. To which is added, A Memoir of Dr. John D. Godman, 
 by Dr. Thomas Sewall, 12mo. 50 cents. 
 
 The former part of this volume is a reprint from the Sixth English edition. It 
 exhibits one of the most remarkable dying scenes of a Christian which we have 
 ever read. " The pains, the groans, and dying strife" which so often characterize 
 the closing scenes, even of the believer, were strangers to the death-bed of Dr. Gor- 
 don, while peace, joy, and triumph through the blood of the Lamb marked his 
 chamber as the "robing-room of heaven." 
 
 The Memoir of Dr. Godman, which is appended to this edition, is scarcely less 
 interesting, though better known, having been published as a Tract by the Ameri- 
 can Tract Society. 
 
 S 290. My Own Book, or select Narratives and Instructions suitable for 
 Youth, square 16mo. with many engravings. 30 and 35 cents. 
 An attractive volume, full of entertainment for the young. It is dedicated to 
 bis "own dear children" by the compiler, an affectionate father, who devoted 
 some midnight hours to compiling it for their instruction and amusement. The 
 variety of interesting incidents, and the handsome illustrations, make it appro- 
 priate as a gift book for children. 
 
 C 291. Memoir of Mrs. Agnes Andrew, of Paisley, illustrative of 
 the Triumphs of Faith in Humble Life. By the Rev. Peter Mearns, Cold- 
 stream. 18mo. 20 and 25 cents. 
 A simple and touching portraiture of pious poverty, struggling on in the midst 
 of the most adverse circumstances, and under the weight of heavy afflictions. 
 Professing Christians, in all conditions of life, may read with great profit such 
 annals of the poor. 
 
 C 392. The Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax: to which is 
 
 added a Description of Christ. By Richard Sibbes, D. D. ISmo. 30 and 35 
 
 cents. 
 
 This is a flagon of old wine, that has lost nothing in the keeping. It is an elabo 
 
 rate exposition, after the old Puritan method, of Matt. xii. 20, in which the infir 
 
 mities and frailties of Christians are described under the image of the bruised reed 
 
 and smoking flax, and the tenderness of Christ in dealing with these weaknesses 
 
 very touchingly and beautifully set forth. Baxter mentions this treatise as ono 
 
 that contributed very greatly to lead him to Christ. 
 
 C 293. Moriah, or Sketches of the Sacred Rites of Ancient IsraeL By the 
 Rev. Robert W. Fraser, M. A. 12mo. with two engravings. 60 cents. 
 
 57 
 
32 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BOOKS OF THE 
 
 This work is admirably adapted to extend a knowledge of the Levitical institu- 
 tions, and to excite a deeper interest in reading the Old Testament. In a very 
 graphic and popular style the author has described the ritual of the Old Testament, 
 whilst its spiritual meaning is brought out, the typology is interpreted, and a most 
 interesting representation of evangelical truth is exhibited in an earnest and heart- 
 stirring manner. 
 
 C 294. The Three Last Tilings, or Death, Judgment, and Eternity, 
 by the Rev. John Hambleton, M. A. ISnio. 20 and 25 cents. 
 
 This is a solemn and earnest presentation of those august themes, Death, Judg- 
 ment, and Eternity, called by the old divines novissima — "last things." They aro 
 handled in a manner calculated to make a deep and permanent impression on the 
 mind of the reader. 
 
 C 395. Light and Support for the Dark Valley. 18mo. 15 
 
 cents. 
 This is a little hand-lamp for a pilgrim -who expects to go down into the dark 
 and lonely valley that lies before him, and our highest praise of it is to say, that 
 the light by which it gilds that gloomy gorge, is a light borrowed from the gospel. 
 This is faithfully and earnestly presented as a light to our feet and a lamp to our 
 path, not only in life, but in death. 
 
 S 396. The Ragged Scholars, Perils in the Desert, and the Avenger 
 
 Stayed. 18mo. with an engraving. 10 cents. 
 A pleasant little volume, containing three interesting narratives calculated to 
 please and profit youthful readers.

 ries, and the Twins. ISmo. with several engravings. 10 cents.

 the minds of the young. 
 
 C 298. Lessons of Life and Death, a Memorial of Sarah Ball, who 
 died in her 18th year. By Elizabeth Ritchie. ISnio. 20 and 25 cents. 
 
 This is a graceful and touching tribute to a very lovely character. She was an 
 English girl, who manifested perhaps a precocious development of both mind and 
 heart, and. like such rare and exotic growths, was early transplanted to heaven. 
 The book describes her childhood, her conversion, her spiritual conflicts, her in- 
 tellectual and Christian character, and the triumphant exercises of her dying 
 hours. 
 
 M 299. The Life of Ashhel Green, V. D. M., begun to be written 
 by himself in his 82d year, and continued to his 81th. Prepared for the press 
 by the author's request, by Joseph H. Jones, D. D., pastor of the 6th Presby- 
 terian church, Philadelphia. 8vo. with a portrait. $1.35. 
 
 No minister of the Presbyterian Church has ever been for so long a time and so 
 extensively related to her history as the subject of this memoir. Many of the 
 events familiarly detailed in this autobiography are connected with the most im- 
 portant periods in the existence of the country and the Church. No minister's 
 library should be without this volume, and the low price at which it is offered places 
 it within the reach of all. 
 
 M300. The Canon of the Old and New Testament ascer- 
 tained ; or the Bible complete without the Apocrypha and unwritten Tra- 
 ditions. By Archibald Alexander, D. D. A new edition revised for the Pres- 
 byterian Board of Publication. 12mo. 70 cents. 
 
 This admirable summary, so long and most favourably known, both in Europe 
 and America, has become the property of the Board of Publication. So excellent 
 a standard book is regarded as quite art acquisition to the catalogue. Several valu- 
 able additions have been made in this edition. 
 
 S 301. The Brazen Serpent, or Faith in Christ Illustrated. By J. IL 
 Jones, D. D. o2mo. 5, 10, and 15 cents. 
 
 58 
 
PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION. 33 
 
 Although this book was written for children, it may he perused with profit by 
 all. It exhibits in a plain, but very striking manner the plan of salvation, and 
 contains more doctrinal and practical Christianity than is to be found in some 
 ponderous tomes. 
 
 S 303. Sarah Lee and Susan Grey. 32mo. 3 cents. 
 This is a book for children in ballad verse, intended to illustrate the nature of 
 real conviction for sin by a simple and touching narrative. 
 S 303. Sermons to Young Children. 32mo. 5, 10, and 15 cents. 
 
 "We have here a neat little volume of ten sermons, averaging less than eight 
 small pages each. The style is sufficiently simple to suit the comprehension of 
 young children, and at the same time is free from the " baby-talk" so often resorted 
 to by* those who attempt to make such books, and which is just as offensive to 
 sensible children as to sensible older persons. 
 
 C 304. Considerations for Days of Adversity. 32mo. 5, 10 and 
 15 cents. 
 The author of this excellent little book has well fulfilled the precept, " Remem- 
 ber them that are in adversity." These " Considerations" will be found season- 
 able, and highly consolatory to afflicted souls. 
 
 C 305. Iietters to the Right Rev. John Hughes, Roman Catholic Bishop of 
 New York, by « Kirwan." 18mo. Three parts in one. 35 and 40 cents. 
 
 These letters have been translated into French, Spanish, Italian, German and 
 Tamul ; and are perhaps doing as much service as any other such instrumentality 
 in preparing the way for the spread of Protestantism. Few works on this great 
 controversy are better adapted for popular effect than these terse, Junius-like let- 
 ters of " Kirwan," (Rev. N. Murray, D. D.) 
 
 S 306. Pictorial First Book for little Boys and Girls. Square 16mo. 
 
 25 cents. 
 This is a choice little book for children who are just being initiated into the mys- 
 teries of spelling. The lessons are well selected and arranged, and the illustra- 
 tions are very beautifully executed. It will be a most acceptable offering to the 
 children of the Church, and it is hoped may have a happy influence in interesting 
 them in other publications of their own Board. 
 
 S 307. Still Happy in Jesus, or the Dying Hours of Emily F , 
 
 a Kelso Sabbath scholar, aged 14. By Jane Catharine . ISmo. 10 cents. 
 
 This i3 a record of the dying experience of a Sabbath scholar, and is full of the 
 breathings of youthful piety. 
 
 S 308. The L.al>oxirer's Daughter, or Religious Training 
 in Humble Life. An autobiographical sketch. By the author of the 
 " Pearl of Days." ISmo. 10 cents. 
 A beautiful sketch of domestic piety that should be widely circulated. It ex- 
 hibits the advantages of religious training in humble life, showing at the same

 hope of the gospel. 
 
 S 504. Sketches for You. By S. S. Egliseau, author of "Lizzie Fergu- 
 son," " Gleanings from Keal Life," and " Lucy Dunlevy." Square 16mo. pp. 
 
 232. Price 30 and 35 cents. 
 This is another delightful little volume from a pen which has before delighted 
 the juvenile readers of the Board's books. In a collection of twenty-four well-told 
 Btories, a very neat and pleasant book is here provided. Each has a good moral, 
 and the reading of such works will go far towards fostering a taste for reading in 
 the minds of the young in our day. It is a good Sabbath-school and family book. 
 C 505. The Divine Life: A book of facts and histories. By the Rev. 
 
 John Kennedy, M. A., F. R.G.S. 12mo. pp. 384. Price 65 cents. 
 This book is a valuable contribution to the religious literature of the church 
 and of the times. It will speak to the heart of God's people as long as there is a 
 true church on earth. Its principal topics are — the nature, origination, provi- 
 dential occasions, and true means of the Divine Life. It will be found rich in im- 
 portant suggestions to the believer. Each chapter is both illustrated and fortified 
 with choice incidents from the lives of many eminent saints. No Christian will 
 peruse it without intense interest, and no one should rise from its perusal with- 
 out being wiser and better than before. 
 C 506. Tlie Model Merchant ; or Memoirs of Samuel Budgett, 12mo. 
 
 pp. 187. Price 40 cents. 
 We can cordially commend this memoir of a most remarkable man to all our 
 readers, and especially to those who are engaged in business. They will learn the 
 secret of Mr. Budgett's rapid rise from comparative poverty to great wealth ; and 
 they will also see how a business man can and ought to carry his Christianity al- 
 ways with him, and exert an influence for good on all who come within the sphere 
 of his influence. It has been abridged for the Board by Mrs. S. A. Myers, from the 
 original Memoir, by the Rev. Wm. Arthur. 
 S 507. Pride ; or Six Months at my Uncle's in New England. 18mo. pp. 80. 
 
 Price 15 and 20 cents. 
 An excellent book for the young ; exhibiting the pains, the hatefulness, and the 
 cure of pride. The narrative is interesting, and the style pleasing. It is worthy to 
 be placed in every family, and in every Sabbath-school. 
 C 50 8. Ye will not come ; or the Sinner without excuse. Written for 
 
 the Board, by a Disabled Minister of Bethel. 18mo. pp. 36. Price 10 cents. 
 As the title indicates, this is an attempt to reach by the press those whom the 
 author can no longer address from the pulpit, and to convince delaying sinuers 
 that if they do not come to Christ, the fault is their own. It is an earnest, pun- 
 gent, but affectionate appeal.
