MEMOIR OF

GEORGE DANA BOARDMAN.

Late Missionary to Burmah, containing much intelligence relative to the Burman Mission. By Rev. ALONZO KING. A New Edition. With an Introductory Essay, by a distinguished Clergyman. Embellished with a Likeness; a beautiful Vignette, representing the baptismal scene just before

his death; and a drawing of his Tomb,
taken by Rev. H. MALCOM.

In noticing the lamented death of Mr. Boardman, Mr. Judson, in one of his letters, thus speaks of his late worthy co-worker on the field of Burmah: "One of the brightest luminaries of Burmah is extinguished, -dear brother Boardman is gone to his eternal rest. He fell gloriously at the head of his troops, in the arms of victory,-thirty-eight wild Karens having been brought into the camp of king Jesus since the beginning of the year, besides the thirty-two that were brought in during the two preceding years. Disabled by wounds, he was obliged, through the whole last expedition, to be carried on a litter; but his presence was a host, and the Holy Spirit accompanied his dying whispers with almighty influence. Such a death, next to that of martyrdom, must be glorious in the eyes of heaven. Well may he rest. assured, that a triumphal crown awaits him on the great day, and 'Well done, good and faithful Boardman, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.""

From Rev. Baron Stow.

"No one can read the Memoir of Boardman, without feeling that the religion of Christ is suited to purify the affections, exalt the purposes, and give energy to the character. Mr. Boardman was a man of rare excellence, and his biographer, by a just exhibition of that excellence, has rendered an important service, not only to the cause of Christian missions, but to the interest of personal godliness. BARON STOW."

"The author had a fine opportunity for making an interesting book; and in the execution he has done ample justice, alike to himself and to his interesting subject. This memoir belongs to that class of books, which may be read with interest and profit by every one. It comprises so much of interesting history, so much of simple and pathetic narrative, so true to nature, and so much of correct moral and religious sentiment, that it cannot fail to interest persons of all ages and of every variety of taste. It should have a place in every family library, and especially in all Sabbath school libraries."-Christian Watchman.

By Rev. HOWARD MALCOM.

The work has received the highest commendation from the press; and the best proof of the estimation in which it is regarded, is in the un exampled sale of the work. Near FOUR THOUSAND copies were sold within one year from its first appearance. In its mechanical execution it surpasses any similar work ever attempted in this country.

edition. Edited by Prof. H. J. RIPLEY,

of Newton Theol. Institution.

Second Thousand.

This is a work of thrilling interest, containing the history of a remarkable man, and giving, also, much information respecting the Karen Mission, heretofore unknown in this country. It must be sought for, and read with avidity by those interested in this most interesting Mission. It gives an account, which must be attractive from its novel. ty, of a people that have been but little known and visited by missionaries, till within a few years. The baptism of Ko-Thah Byu, in 1828, was the beginning of the mission, and at the end of these twelve years, twelve hundred and seventy Karens are officially reported as members of the churches, in good standing. The mission has been carried on preeminently by the Karens themselves, and there is no doubt, from much touching evidence contained in this volume, that they are a people peculiarly susceptible to religious impressions. The account of Mr. Mason must be interesting to every one.

"Perhaps no nation, recently discovered, has attracted or deserved more general interest than the Karen. All will be delighted to read the memoir of one, who united with the common characteristics of his countrymen such an extraordinary degree of zeal of perseverance and success, in the propagation of the gospel which he himself first received in faith and in love."-Baptist Advocate.

"It is a valuable addition to the volumes now multiplying, which bear testimony to the valuable character and results of the missionary work." -Christian Intelligencer.

"This work will be read with interest, showing, as it does, the power of the gospel upon a degraded people, and the rich blessings it confers upon the heathen. both as it respects this life and the life to come. What can be more interesting to a Christian mind, than to see the darkness which, by nature, broods over the human mind, dispelled by the light of the gospel, and a benighted spirit guided to a world of eternal day. A strik ing instance of this. the memoir presents. It also shows how the gospel can raise up an individual from the depths of wretchedness and crime, and make him. though possessed of smail natural abilities, a rich blessing to his fellow men."-Vermont Chronicle.

"It is an interesting little volume, and gives a vivid picture of the influence of the Christian religion in taming, subduing, and elevating a rough and darkened mind. The historical notices of the Karen people we have read with pleasure."-Bangor Courier.

"This volume abounds in that kind of interest which belongs to personal narrative; and the effect of good teaching upon 'new minds,' is admirably illustrated."-Philadelphia U. S. Gazetie.

ANTI OCH;

OR, INCREASE OF MORAL POWER IN THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. By Rev. P. CHURCH. With an Introductory

Essay, by Rev. BARON STOW.

"Here is a volume which will make a greater stir than any didactic work that has been issued for many a day. It is a book of close and consecutive thought, and treats of subjects which are of the deepest interest, at the present time, to the churches of this country. The author is favorably known to the religious public, as an original thinker. and a forcible writer,-his style is lucid and vigorous. The Introduction. by Mr. Stow, adds much to the value and attractions of the volume."-Chr. Reflector.

"By some this book will be condemned, by many it will be read with pleasure, because it analyzes and renders tangible, principles that have been vaguely conceived in many minds, reluctantly promulgated and hesitatingly believed. We advise our brethren to read the book, and judge for themselves."-Baptist Record.

"It is the work of an original thinker, on a subject of great practical interest to the church. It is replete with suggestions, which, in our view, are eminently worthy of consideration."-Phil. Chr. Observer.

"This is a philosophical essay, denoting depth of thinking, and great originality. *** He does not doubt, but asserts, and carries along the matter with his argument, until the difference of opinion with which the reader started with the writer is forgotten by the former, in admiration of the warmth and truthfulness of the latter."-Phil. U. S. Gazette.

The following recommendatory notes from individuals residing in the vicinity of the Author, were received by the Publishers with the manu script of the work.

From the Professors in Hamilton Literary and Theol. Institution. "We have carefully perused the most important parts of the manu. script, and the result has been highly gratifying. The work is characterized by great sobriety and caution. We believe the views it presents to be scriptural; and that where they are not supported by the direct and and positive declaration of the word of God, they are, at least, sustained by the general spirit of the teachings of Christ and his apostles. Such a work as this, we think, is greatly needed; it is well adapted to promote correct views and uniformity of practice in relation to the subject of which it treats. We cordially recommend it to the careful perusal of the members of our churches. J. S. MAGINNIS, T. J. CONANT, A. C. KENDRICK."

Hamilton, Nov. 6, 1843.

From the Editor of the N. Y. Baptist Register.

"I have just had the privilege of hearing the principal part of Professor Warham Walker's work on Church Discipline. The subject is presented in a clear and beautiful style, and in accordance with the sacred oracles; and the instruction conveyed is much needed at the present time, when young converts are so numerous and so imperfectly acquainted with duty in this matter, and with the proper manner of discharging it. The author is well known in this State, as a writer of great force and elegance, and any thing he undertakes is done with fidelity and effect.

Yours, truly, A. M. BEEBEE."

Utica, Nov. 7, 1843. "We are truly gratified at the issue of this publication. A work of this kind has been greatly needed in our churches, and its appearance will be warmly welcomed, we believe, by thousands. The subject is one involv ing many difficult and debateable questions, and it will be strange indeed if it satisfies all parties, in the execution, equally well. But from looking at the general plan, and reading several pages, we are inclined to believe that it will meet with great favor. The work originated in an essay read at a Ministerial Conference, and was completed and published by the request of the brethren composing that conference. It is issued in a neat style; a volume of one hundred and fifty-six pages."--Chr. Reflector,

THE PSALMIST:

A NEW COLLECTION OF HYMNS FOR THE USE OF THE BAPTIST CHURCHES.

BY BARON STOW AND S. F. SMITH.

This work contains nearly twelve hundred Hymns, original and select. ed, together with a collection of Chants and Selections for Chanting. Surprising as it may appear to those who are aware of the great diversity of opinion and tastes every where existing in reference to hymns best suited to public worship, this new collection meets with almost universal favor. Its rapid introduction into churches in various parts of the coun try; the numerous testimonials of approval and high commendation daily received, in connection with the acknowledged ability of the editors; the uncommon facilities enjoyed by them, of drawing from the best sources in this and other countries; the great care with which the compilation has been made; the new, convenient, and systematic plan of arrangement adopted, give the publishers full confidence in the superior merits of the work.

In addition to the protracted labor of the editors, the proof-sheets have all been submitted to a Committee, composed of clergymen of high standing, in different parts of the Union, by whose critical examinations and important suggestions the value of the work has been greatly enhanced.

All of Watts's Hymns, possessing lyrical spirit, and suited to the worship of a Christian assembly, are inserted; and a large number of hymns heretofore unknown in this country have been introduced. The distinction of psalms and hymns, usually made in other collections, has been avoided in this, and all have been arranged together. under their appropriate heads, and numbered in regular, unbroken succession. There are four valuable Indexes,-a 'General Index' of subjects, a 'Particular In. dex,' an 'Index of First Lines,' and an extended 'Scripture Index.'

Notice of the Am. Bap. Publication and S. S. Society, Philadelphia. The Board of Directors of the A. B P. and S. S. Society, induced by the numerous and urgent calls which, for a long time, have been made from various sections of the country, for a new collection of Hymns that should be adapted to the wants of the churches generally, resolved, in the year 1841, to take immediate measures for the accomplishment of this object. With this view, a committee, consisting of Rev. W. T. Brantly, D. D., of South Carolina, Rev. J. L. Dagg, of Alabama, Rev. R B. C. Howell, of Tennessee, Rev. S W. Lynd, D. D., of Ohio, Rev. J. B. Taylor, of Virginia, Rev. S. P. Hill, of Maryland, Rev. G. B. Ide and R. W. Griswold, of Penn sylvania, and Rev. W. R. Williams, D. D., of New York, was appointed to prepare and superintend the proposed selection. It was, however, subsequently ascertained that a similar work had been undertaken by Messrs. Gould, Kendall & Lincoln, Publishers, of Boston; and that Rev. B. Stow and Rev. S. F. Smith, whose services they had engaged, had already commenced their labor. From the well-known ability of these gentlemen, there seemed good reason to expect a valuable collection. and one that would fully meet the end which the Board contemplated. In order, there. fore, to avoid the unnecessary multiplication of Hymn Books, it was deemed expedient by the Board to unite, if possible, with the abovementioned Publishers. Accordingly, the manuscript of Messrs. Stow and Smith having been examined, and found quite satisfactory, arrangements were made to have the proof sheets as they were issued from the press, submitted to the committee of the Board, with the understanding, that if, after such alterations and improvements as might be suggested, it should meet their approval, the Board would adopt it as their own. This approval having been obtained, the Board voted. unanimously, to adopt and publish the work, and have negotiated with Gould, Kendall & Lincoln, to that effect. Signed by order and on behalf of the Board,
