DÖDERLEIN'S HAND-BOOK OF LATIN SYNONYMES. Translated by REV. H. HI. ARNOLD, B. A., with an Introduction by S. H. TAYLOR, LL D. New Edition, with an Iudex of Greek words. 16mo. pp. 207. 80 cents.

"The present hand-book of Doderlein is remarkable for the brevity, distinctness, perspicuity, and appositeness of its delinitions. It will richly reward not merely the classical, but the gen eral student, for the labor he may devote to it. It is difficult to open the volume, even at random, without discovering some hint which may be useful to a theologian. . . . . From the preceding extracts, it will be seen that this hand-book is useful in elucidating many Greek as well as Latin synonymes."— Bi. Sacra.

"The little volume mentioned above, introduced to the American public by an eminent Scholar and Teacher, Samuel H. Taylor, LL. D., is one of the best helps to the thorough appreciation of the nice shades of meaning in Latin words that have met my eye. It deserves the attention of teachers and learners, and will amply reward patient study."— E. D. Sanborn, late Professor of Latin in Dartmouth College.

"The study of it will conduce much to thorough and accurate knowledge of the old Roman tongue. To the present edition is appended an Index of Greek words,' which embraces all the Greek words contained in the Latin Synonymes, and affords valuable aid in the elucidation of Greek Synonymes."- Boston Recorder.

POLITICAL ECONOMY. Designed as a Text-Book for Colleges. By JOHN BASCOM, A. M., Professor in Williams College. 12mo. pp. 368. $1.00.

"It goes over the whole ground in a logical order. The matter is perspicuously arranged under distinct chapters and sections; it is a compendious exhibition of the principles of the science without prolonged disquisitions on particular points, and it is printed in the style for which the Andover Press has long been deservedly celebrated."— Princeton Review.

"This work is one of value to the student. It treats of the relations and character of political economy, its advantages as a study, and its history. Almost every subject in the range of the science is here touched upon and examined in a manner calculated to interest and instruct the reader." Amherst Express.

"The book is worthy a careful study, both for the views it contains and as a mental training. The author understands himself, and his evidently studied his subject well. The style in which it is put forth also commends it to the reading community."— Evening Express.

“This is a valuable work upon a subject of much interest. Professor Bascom writes well, and his book makes an excellent manual. His stand-point in the middle of the 19th century gives it a character quite unlike that of the older works upon the subject."— Boston Recorder.

RUSSELL'S PULPIT

ELOCUTION. Comprising Remarks on the Effect of Manner in public Discourse; the Elements of Elocution applied to the Reading of the Scriptures, Hymns and Sermons; with Observations on the Principles of Gesture; and a Selection of Exercises in Reading and Speaking. With an Introduction by PROF. E. A. PARK and REV. E. N. KIRK. 413 pp. 12mo. Second Edition. $1.00.

"Mr. Russell is known as one of the masters of elocutionary science in the United States. He has labored long, skilfully, and successfully in that most interesting field, and has acquired an honored name among the teachers and writers upon rhetoric. It is one of the most thorough publications upon the subject, and is admirably addressed to the correction of the various defects which diminish the influence of pulpit discourses. It is already an established authority in many places." - Literary World.

HISTORICAL MANUAL OF THE SOUTH CHURCH IN ANDOVER, MASS. Compiled by REV. GEORGE Mooar; with a portrait of REV. SAMUEL PHILLIPS, first Pastor of the Church. 12mo. pp 200. $1.25. "This manual has a value far beyond the promise made in its title-page. Henceforth, whatever may befall the records of the South Church in Andover, or even the Church itself,though both were blotted from the earth, its history for a hundred and fifty years is safe. And in that history is embraced an amount of instruction rarely condensed into so small a space. The catalogue of members, numbering 2,177, indicates the date and manner of admission — whether by profession or letter; the date and manner of removal - whether by death, dismis sion, or excommunication: generally the age of the deceased, and, if females who married during their membership, the names of their husbands.” — Congregational Quarterly,

TESTIMONY OF THE PRESS.

The articles, treating of interesting themes useful to the general scholar as well as the theolo gian, fully sustain the very high character of this quarterly, which, restricted to no sect and broad in its range of thought and instruction, has commended itself to the best minds in our own and foreign lands. [Boston Courier.

This, as is well known, is the great religious Quarterly of New England, if not of the country, and is held in high estimation in England and Germany as the principal organ of biblical and philological criticism in the English language.

This work as now conducted, deserves a large and generous patronage from clergymen of all denominations. [Puritan Recorder.

No Parish is either poor or rich enough to be able to do without its benefit to its pastor. [Congregationalist.

HYMNS AND CHOIRS: OR, THE MATTER AND THE MANNER OF THE SERVICE OF SONG IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. By AUSTIN PHELPS, and EDWARDS A. PARK, Professors at Andover, and DANIEL L. FURBER, Pastor at Newton. 12mo. pp. 425. $100.

This volume describes the true design and character of Hymns; it comments on their rhetorical structure and style; points out the proper method of uttering them in public worship; and the most important principles and rules for congregational singing.

"We have read the volume through, from the first line to the last, with an interest unabated, and a conviction that has only continually increased of the justness and importance of the principles it enunciates. The application of these principles in particular cases, whether of hymns or of tunes, is a matter about which there may remain some differences of judgment, even after so eloquent and persuasive an argument as is here presented. But the general principles developed and urged, with a dignity of thought, a sweet and manly Christian sensibility, and a comprehensive range of knowledge, that have rarely been brought to bear at one time on such a theme-as to these, there can be, it seems to us, but one opinion, among those who intelligently apprehend and ponder them. They are valid and vital, and of vast consequence; and wheresoever they are thoroughly applied, in the services both of Praise and of Prayer, the worship of our Congregational churches will be more rich, attractive, kindling, not only than it now is, but than that of any church, however venerable, has ever been." — Independent.

THE DEBATE BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND SCIENCE; or, The Ancient Hebraic Idea of the Six Days of Creation. With an Essay on the Literary Character of TAYLER LEWIS. 12mo. pp. 437. $1.25. "We wish in this notice to state concisely our impressions of an important and remarkable book.. The first impression which the volume has given us is of a certain chivalry and nobleness. . . . . . The next is of a pervading modesty. . . . . . An impression equally strong is that of reverence. . . . . . Then of extraordinary patience both of thought and composition. .... Exactness of reasoning is another undeniable feature of the volume. . . . . . The learning of the volume, though not paraded in any fulness of notes or references, is yet quite sufficient for the purposes of the argument. . . . . . One more merit of the volume we mention, its wonderful suggestiveness.” — North American Review.

"The work of the author before us is remarkable for much condensed, valuable thought on numerous inquiries pertaining to the history of Creation."- Christian Mirror.

"The subject is one of much interest to the theologian, and it Professor Lewis has really furnished him with a weapon wherewith to assault the pretentious adversaries of the Mosaic history, it should be accepted."— The Presbyterian.

SELECT SERMONS OF REV. WORTHINGTON SMITH. D. D. With a Memoir of his Life, by REV. JOSEPH TORREY, D. D., Professor in Burlington College. 12mo. pp. 380. $1.25.

"This is a memorial volume of Dr. Smith, late President of the Vermont University, and was prepared at the request of many of his friends. An interesting Memoir of his Life, edited by Rev. Joseph Torrey, D. D., Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, introduces the Sermons. Dr. Smith was a native of Hadley, Mass., and was for many years pastor over a religious society in St. Albans, Vermont. For six years he officiated as President of the Vermont University at Burlington, which office he resigned in consequence of ill health, and died a few months afterward. The Memoir is followed by sixteen Sermons on various subjects."— Boston Daily Advertiser.

"This brief memoir from the pen of Prof. Torrey sets forth his marked peculiarities as a man, a Christian, a preacher, and as the head of the University in a practical, useful, and very readable manner. Valuable hints upon various questions of Congregational polity are thrown out, in the course of the discussion, and much information of value to ministers is included in the sketch of this prudent and useful man. Sixteen Sermons complete the volume, showing Dr. Smith's characteristics as a pulpit laborer."— The Congregationalist.
