A NEW GUIDE FOR EMIGRANTS TO THE WEST. By JOHN M. PECK, of Illinois. "We earnestly wish this most excellent work was in the hands of those hundreds of Emigrants, who are now about town, and intend to go ' West.' The advice and information contained in these three hundred and seventy-four pages, are really invaluable, and if attended to, would save an immense amount of time, trouble, and last, not least, money. The author may be depended upon; having had every opportunity for gathering facts and knowledge on the subject."-N. Y. Messenger. "The merits of the Guide for Emigrants,' published some years since, are well known. The present volume, however, contains many improvements on the former work, and embraces many additional facts in relation to the States and Territories lying in, and bordering on, the Great Valley of the Mississippi, which render it not only exceedingly valuable to the emigrant or man of business, who may be induced to visit that portion of the country, but a'l who are desirous of gaining information relative to the soil, climate, productions, and character and persnits of the people who reside in the Great Valley."-Mercantile Journal.

It has been well said, that “to imbue men thoroughly with the missionary spirit, we must acquaint them intimately with the missionary enterprise." The spirit of missions seems everywhere to be increasing. The circulation of printed documents, and other like efforts, are giving a new impetus to the cause. The following valuable works contain just the kind of information needed. Let every one purchase and read them. ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF MISSIONS; A Record of the Voyages, Travels, Labors, and Successes of the various Missionaries who have been sent forth by Protes. tant Societies to evangelize the Heathen. Compiled from authentic Documents. Forming a Complete Missionary Repository. Illustrated by numerous Engravings, made expressly for this work. By Rev. JOHN O. CHOULES, A. M., and Rev THOMAS SMITH, Sixth Edition. Enlarged and Improved, RECOMMENDATIONS. From the Secretary of the Am. B. C. F. Missions. "It is the most comprehensive, and the best extant. It contains a rich store of authentic facts, highly important both to the minister and the private Christian. To the former, it will be an invaluable assistant in his preparations for the monthly concert and other missionary meetings; and in the family, it will furnish instructive and useful employment to the members, of different ages, in many an hour that otherwise might not be so profitably occupied. R. ANDERSON." From the Secretaries of the Am. Bap. Board of Foreign Missions. "The History of Missions, as its name denotes, is a narrative of the means and methods by which the gospel has been propagated in pagan lands, beginning with the earliest efforts of the church, but presenting more at large the origin and progress of the principal missionary insti tutions of the last and present centuries. Being derived from authentic gources, and fitted, by its happy selection of incidents, to cherish an intelligent interest in the subjects of which it treats, we hope it will secure an extensive circulation. It is worthy of a place in every Christian library. LUCIUS BOLLES, SOLOMON PECK." "The typographical execution of this work, in point of beauty and ele gance, is not surpassed by any publication we have met with from the American press. The quarto form is indeed rare, in this country, and perhaps in other countries, in these days of biblio-compression, when small pages and small type are used to accommodate the purse at the expense of the eyes. But here we have a noble specimen of typography; a generous page, an ample margin, a clear, large type. double columns, the first glance at which charms the eye. and invites close attention to the merits of the book. When we have taken up the volumes, we have laid them down again with reluctance, and only as constrained by necessity. They are rich; replete with instructive facts and striking incidents, that will not fail to leave those impressions on the reader's mind, which a good man' loves to cherish, and with which it must be the joy of his heart to live, and the delight of his soul to die. But it is not a inere repository of anecdotes; it is a continuous and well-digested history, in the main, of all the operations of the several missionary societies in the world, from their commencement, about 1730, to the present time."-Boston Recorder. Or the Christian Church constituted and charged to convey the Gospel to the World. By Rev. JOHN HARRIS, D. D., author of 'Mammon,' 'Great Teacher,' &c. With an Introductory Essay, by WM. R. WILLIAMS, D. D., of New York. Fourth Thousand. This work was written in consequence of the offer of a prize of two hundred guineas, by several prominent individuals in Scotland, for the best essay on "The duty, privilege, and encouragement of Christians to send the gospel of salvation to the unenlightened nations of the earth." The adjudicators (David Welsh, Ralph Wardlaw, Henry Melville, Jabez Bunting, Thomas S. Crisp) state "that forty-two essays were received, and, after much deliberation, the essay of Dr. Harris was placed first. They were influenced in their decision by the sentiment, style, and comprehensiveness of the essay, and by the general adaptation to the avowed object of the prize." This work has received the highest commendation. MEMOIR OF ANN H. JUDSON, Late Missionary to Burmah, including a history of the American Baptist "We are particularly gratified to perceive a new edition of the Memoirs of Mrs. Judson. She was an honor to our country-one of the most noble spirited of her sex. It cannot, therefore, be surprising, that so many editions, and so many thousand copies of her life and adventures have been sold. The name-the long carcer of suffering-the selfsacrificing spirit of the retired country-girl, have spread over the whole world; and the heroism of her apostleship and almost martyrdom, stands out a living and heavenly beacon fire, amid the dark midnight of ages, anu human history and exploits. She was the first woman who resolved to become a missionary to heathen countries."-American Traveller. "This is one of the most interesting pieces of female biography which has ever come uuder our notice. No quotation, which our limits allow, would do justice to the facts, and we must therefore refer our readers to the volume itself. It ought to be immediately added to every family library."-London Miscellany. MEMOIR OF WM. CAREY, D. D. Forty Years a Missionary in India. By EUSTACE CAREY. With an Introductory Essay, by FRANCIS WAYLAND, D. D. With a Likeness. During the forty years which Dr. Carey labored in the missionary cause, he was instrumental in the publication of 212,000 volumes of the Scriptures in forty different languages, embracing the vernacular tongues of at least 27,000,000 of the human race, besides performing other labors, the enumeration of which would seem almost incredible. |
