CROLY (DR.) ON DIVINE PROVIDENCE,

or the Three Cycles of Revelation, showing the Parallelism, Civil and Religious, of the Patriarchal, Jewish, and Christian Eras; the whole forming a new Evidence of the Divine Origin of Christianity, thick 8vo. extra cloth boards, (pub. at 158.) reduced to 108. 1834

"To discover, in these late days, a new evidence of our holy religion, an evidence unsuspected and undiscovered by all former theologians and scholars, proves the superior erudition and acuteness of the author. To Dr. Croly belongs the high and lasting praise of lending new forces to the defenders of religion and adding a new wing to the temple of the Christian Faith."--Gentleman's Magazine. CRUDEN'S

1844

"An extremely pretty and very cheap edition. It contains all that is useful in the original work, omitting only prepositions, conjunctions, &c., which can never be made available for purposes of reference. Indeed it is all that the Scripture student can desire." -Guardian.

DAILLE'S TREATISE ON THE RIGHT USE OF THE FATHERS, in the Decision of Controversies existing in Religion. Translated from the French, and revised by the REV. T. SMITH, now re-edited and amended with a Preface by the REV. G. JEKYLL, 8vo. extra cloth boards, (pub. at 7s. 6d.) red. to 5s. 1843

The value of Daillé's work is well known. It has of late been constantly referred to in consequence of the [publication of the Oxford Tracts by Dr. Pusey and others. It is an original and valuable treatise, and had a considerable effect in diminishing the undue authority of the Fathers. "It is a work," says Bp. Warburton, "of uncommon learning and strength of argument. It brought the Fathers from the bench to the table, and may be truly said to be the storehouse from whence all who have since written popularly on the character of the Fathers, have derived their materials." The present edition has been revised throughout, and is handsomely printed.

"We cannot forbear repeating Mr. Coleridge's ques tion, Why are not Donne's volumes of Sermons reprinted?' His Life is published in a cheap form by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and deservedly so in every respect; but why does Oxford allow one hundred and thirty sermons of the greatest preacher of the seventeenth century-the admired of all hearers-to remain all but totally unknown to the students in divinity of the Church of England, and to the literary world in general."-Quarterly Review, vol. lix. p. 6.

"A preacher in earnest, weeping sometimes for his auditory, sometimes with them; always preaching to himself like an angel from a cloud, but in none; carrying some, as St. Paul was, to heaven in holy raptures; and enticing others by a sacred art and courtship to amend their lives; here picturing a vice so as to make it ugly to those that practised it; and a virtue, so as to make it beloved even by those who loved it not; and all this with a most particular grace, and an inexpressible addition of comeliness. His life was a shining light."-Isaac Walton.

The object of this very learned and able book is the same in respect to Popery that Bossuet's is to Protestantism.

Extreme Unction; 15. Image Worship; 16. Purgatory; 17. Celibacy of the Clergy. At the end of the volume is a very copious Index.

1840

"I consider Jonathan Edwards the greatest of the sons of men. He ranks with the brightest luminaries of the Christian Church, not excluding any country, or any age since the apostolic."-Robert Hall.

"That great master-mind, Jonathan Edwards, whose close-sighted observation, clear judgment, and unbending faithfulness, were of the very highest order.”—Dr. Pye Smith.

Jonathan Edwards is a writer of great originality and piety, and with extraordinary mental powers. He, in fact, commenced a new and higher school in divinity, to which the great body of evangelical authors who have since lived, have been indebted."—Rev. E. Bickersteth.

"To theological students his works are almost indispensable. In all the branches of theology, didactic, polemical, casuistic, experimental, and practical, he had few equals, and perhaps no superior. The number and variety of his works show the intenseness of his industry, and the uncommon strength of his intellectual powers. They will live as long as powerful reasoning, genuine religion, and the science of the human mind continue to be objects of respect."-Orme.

"The Rev. Andrew Fuller has been styled by the Americans, The Franklin of Theology;' and it is said of him, that all his writings bear the powerful stamp of a mind, which, for native vigour, original research, logical acumen, profound knowledge of the human heart, and intimate acquaintance with the Scripture, has had ro rival since the days of President Edwards.' The celebrated Robert Hall has also said of him, He was a man whose sagacity enabled him to penetrate to the depths of every subject he explored;whose conceptions were so powerful and luminous, that what was recondite and original appeared familiar; what was intricate, easy and perspicuous, in his hands: equally successful in enforcing the practical, in stating the theoretical, and discussing the polemical branches of theology.'

"Fuller was of the same good school of divinity as Scott. With a lively imagination and all the powers of a masculine mind, he maintains the distinguishing doctrines of the Gospel, and insists on its practical holiness."-Bickersteth.

"Fuller thought with Owen, and wrote with the pointed pen of Baxter. His discourses are shrewd, instructive and touching."-Orme.

"I am slowly reading Andrew Fuller's works. He was an interesting man; one of the wisest, and most moral minded of his day. He possessed wonderful strength of mind; and is an instance how Providence can draw forth instruments from the most unlikely quarters."-Bishop Jebb. GOODWIN'S (THOMAS) CHILD OF LIGHT WALKING IN DARKNESS, a Treatise showing the Causes, Circumstances, and Purposes for which God leaves his Children to Distress of Conscience, with Directions how to be Relieved. New edition, royal 18mo. extra cloth, (pub. at 3s. 6d.) red. to 2s. 6d. Seeley, 1840 This is the reprint of a very scarce and highly esteemed volume.

"With sentiments truly evangelical, Dr. Goodwin possesses a most happy talent at opening, sifting, and

displaying the hidden riches of Scripture. He is a puritan writer of very superior powers, and entering very fully into the peculiar mode of expression in the sacred writings, he casts much light on the Scriptures on which he treats."-Bickersteth.

Rarely, if ever, have superior philosophical attainments been turned to a better account, or a richer offering brought from the fields of science into the temple of God. Not a single consideration of moment, tending

to confirm the genuineness and integrity of the Scriptures in their present state, appears to have escaped his notice. He has united with extraordinary attainments in the severer sciences, the art of recommending his sentiments with impressive effect; and he exhibits, in an eminent degree, the most important ingredients of good writing. He is correct and luminous, and often rises to the tone of the most impassionate feeling. His language is eminently easy, flowing, and idiomatic. The abstractions of science have not in him exerted the influence often imputed to them, of chilling the heart, and impairing the vigour of the imagination. While he reasons with the comprehension and depth which distinguish the philosopher, he feels with ardour and paints with force. He is often inspired and transported with his theme. In the midst of pursuits which are not always found to have a propitious effect on the religious character of their votaries, he has found the means of preserving his devotion in its warmth, his faith in its purity, and his sensibility in its infantine freshness and vigour. We earnestly recommend this work to the attentive perusal of all cultivated minds. We are acquainted with no book in the circle of English literature, which is equally calculated to give young persons just views of the evidence, the nature, and the importance of revealed religion."-Robert Hall.

HALL'S (BISHOP) ENTIRE WORKS, with an Account of his Life and Sufferings. New Edition, with considerable Additions, a Translation of all the Latin Pieces, and a Glossary, Indices, and Notes, by the REV. PETER HALL, 12 vols. 8vo. portrait, extra cloth, let. (pub. at 71. 48.) red. to 51. Oxford, Talboys, 1837-39

"The glowing, the tender, the pathetic eloquence of a Hall, who, with the spirit of a saint, could strew some holy text upon every trivial event of life, and find sermons in stones, and good in everything."" Quarterly Review.

"This is by far the best edition of the works of the 'Christian Seneca.' The learned editor, a descendant of the Bishop, has inserted several excellent pieces not published in any former edition; has verified and enlarged the references, added many valuable notes, and above all, a complete index of texts.

"Bishop Hall's writings abound in richness of fancy, and eloquent bursts of feeling. They manifest a piety, humble, fervid, and sincere; a theory of Christian morals, unforbidding and practical; and views of a future existence, animating, elevating, and sublime."British Critic.

"Bishop Hall has been entitled the Christian Seneca; his knowledge of the world, depth of thought, and elegance of expression, place him nearer our own times than any of his contemporaries, whilst he adorned his age by learning, piety, and the uniform exercise of all the Christian graces. It would, indeed, be difficult to mention a prelate of more excellent character."Chalmers.

Few

"Imaginative and copious eloquence, terse and pointed sentences, full of piety and devotion. writers so useful to divinity students. Let them thoroughly read and digest them, and they will be furnished for most of the calls upon them."-Bickersteth. "During this period, two men of genius contributed by the spirit and energy of their discourses, to maintain the credit of the orthodox pulpit-these were Hall

and Taylor: the former gifted with all the inspiration of poetry, and all the severity of a chastised judgment; in his style, quaint, rather than pedantic; in his sense, clear, manly, and original."-Quarterly Review, vol. xiv. pp. 248, 249.

the same, printed in a smaller size, 6 vols. fcap. 8vo. cloth lettered, 17. 18. 1846 "Whoever wishes to see the English language in its perfection must read the writings of that great divine, Robert Hall. He combines the beauties of Johnson, Addison, and Burke, without their imperfections."→ Dugald Stewart.

"I cannot do better than refer the academic reader to the immortal works of Robert Hall. For moral grandeur, for Christian truth, and for sublimity, we may doubt whether they have their match in the sacred oratory of any age or country."-Prof. Sedgwick (in his Discourse on the Studies of the University).

"The Sermons and Discourses of Robert Hall are wonderful compositions."

"The bold diction, the majestic gait of the sentence, the vivid illustration, the rebuke which could scathe the offender, the burst of honest indignation at triumphant vice, the biting sarcasm, the fervid appeal to the heart, the sagacious development of principle, the broad field of moral vision-all these distinguish the compositions of Robert Hall, and we bear our most willing testimony to their worth."-Quarterly Review.

"In the eloquence of the pulpit, Robert Hall comes nearer Massillon than either Cicero or Eschines to Demosthenes."-Lord Brougham.

"His mind is little to be envied, if from the perusal of Robert Hall, he do not find himself a more accomplished, a wiser, and a better man."-Church of England Quarterly Review.

"Mr. Hall, like Bishop Taylor, 'has the eloquence of an orator, the fancy of a poet, the acuteness of a schoolman, the profoundness of a philosopher, and the piety of a saint.""-Parr (Spital Sermon).

"The excellence of Mr. Hall does not consist in the predominance of one of his powers, but in the exquisite proportion and harmony of all. The richness, variety, and extent of his knowledge, are not less remarkable than his absolute mastery over it. His style is one of the clearest and simplest-the least encumbered with its own beauty-of any which ever has been written."-Charles Lamb, London Magazine.

"The name of Robert Hall will be placed by posterity among the best writers of the age, as well as the most vigorous defenders of religious truth, and the brightest examples of Christian charity."-Sir J. Mackintosh.

HARCOURT'S (THE REV. VERNON) DOC- | TRINE OF THE DELUGE, 2 vols. 8vo. extra cloth boards, (pub. at 17. 168.) reduced to 10s. 6d. Longman, 1838

"The object of this very learned, pious, and interesting work is to pursue the traditional memorials of the ark through the pages of pagan mythology. Those who have not bent their studies that way, are not aware what a mass of evidence is to be collected from the most unsuspected sources in corroboration of the Mosaic Deluge. We consider Mr. Harcourt's researches as most valuable, totally apart from all considerations of philosophy. To those who have a taste for such learned inquiries as have immortalized the venerable name of Jacob Bryant above all modern scholars in this department of antiquity, we recommend a perusal of Mr. Harcourt's book, in which they will see much additional light thrown on many of the subjects discussed, from information inaccessible to Bryant-the produce of later studies and inquiries. Nor can we omit to mention, with great satisfaction, an Historical Treatise on Baptismal Regeneration, which closes the second volume, and which we should like to see separately published.”—Gentleman's Magazine. HART'S (REV. RICHARD) ECCLESIASTI

CAL RECORDS OF ENGLAND, IRELAND, AND SCOTLAND, from the Fifth Century to the Reformation: being an Epitome of British Councils, the Legatine and Provisional Constitutions, and other Memorials of the Olden Time, with Prolegomena and Notes, second edition, enlarged, 8vo. frontispiece, extra cloth, (pub. at 128.) reduced to 68. Camb. 1846

This valuable work forms a complete epitome and digest of the Concilia of Wilkins and Spelman, and contains all that is really valuable in their works. Every page will arrest the attention of the antiquary, and transport him in imagination to the ages which are past. Many of the rubrics still retained in the Book of Common Prayer, and many an obscure point in ecclesiastical law is here elucidated; whilst to the controversialist with Rome, the volume will be found pre-eminently useful.

"Bishop Hopkins's works form of themselves a sound body of divinity. He is clear, vehement, and persuasive."-Bickersteth.

"The merits of Bishop Hopkins are well known to theologians, although perhaps not so universally as might be wished. We have often heard of the supe riority of the theology of our older authors to that of our more modern divines; and certainly never hare we seen the superiority more strikingly shown than in the works of Hopkins. Whatever be the nature of the subject on which he treats, his hand is instantly seca to be that of a master: throughout we find a strength of thought, an originality of illustration, a force and felicity of style, a homely raciness of expression, which command perpetual attention. There do not exist manuals of Christian duty more searching in their knowledge of the human heart, more comprehensive in their application to all the situations and contingencies of life, than his 'Exposition of the Ten Commandments,' and the 'Exposition of the Lord's Prayer.' These taken in connexion with his other works, form in themselves a body of divinity, the possession of which alone would enrich the library of a household." -The Witness.

HUNTINGDON'S (COUNTESS OF) LIFE AND TIMES, by a Member of the Houses of Shirley and Hastings. Sixth thousand, with a copious Index, 2 large vols. 8vo. portraits of the Countess, Whitefield, and Wesley; extra cloth, (pub. at 17. 48.) reduced to 148. 1844

"This memoir is not only absorbingly interesting as a narrative, but it is indispensable to the historian, developing, as it does, the origin and progress of the most important and influential denominations of Dissenters at the present day; as well as the effects produced by her Ladyship's indefatigable zeal in the cause of religion.

"These volumes are destined to a lengthened popularity. They will be read by the serious for their religious tendency, and the light which they throw upon the earlier days of the Methodists and other classes of Dissenters, whilst to those fond of the fashionable gossip of Courts passed away, they present an ample fund of amusement and instruction."-Advertiser.

"The work is invaluable; and any one who should now attempt to write the religious history of the eighteenth century, would be but ill qualified for his task, if he had not previously made himself acquainted with the life of the Countess of Huntingdon."-Courier.

"We have seldom read a more interesting work. Its extraordinary mass of anecdote and personal history will afford no ordinary degree of amusement to the general reader."--Argus.

"A very curious memoir, perhaps one of the most curious that has for a long time issued from the press. The reader must not suppose that this Life of Lady Huntingdon is a mere narrative of ministerial transactions-a history of a sect, its struggles and its progress: on the contrary, it deals most with the open day-light world of action, embraces notices of some of the most distinguished men of the times, and developes, in the account of Lady Huntingdon herself, a character remarkable for energy, strong sense, and living sympathies. It is a production of much greater interest than, at first sight, we anticipated."-Atlas.

"This is a most interesting work, and cannot fail to become highly popular. It is exciting intense interest, and will doubtless lead us to form a correct estimate of the character and opinions of that most extraordinary woman."-Durham Advertiser. ILLUSTRATED COMMENTARY ON THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, chiefly explanatory of the Manners and Customs mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, and also of the History, Geography, Natural History, and Antiquities; being a republication of the Notes of the Pictorial Bible, 5 vols. post 8vo. with upwards of 600 fine wood-cuts, gilt cloth, (pub. at 17. 178. 6d.) reduced to 17. 58. 1840 "The explanatory notes and illustrations of the 'Pictorial Bible' are here printed separate from the text, so as to form a complete work, serving as a companion to any edition of the Bible. The five volumes contain a great body of information, gleaned from a variety of sources, many of which are of recent discovery, on the habits and manners of the Arabs and Egyptians; the pictures in the tombs of Thebes furnishing accurate representations of the costumes, &c. of ancient Egypt; and the accounts of travellers describing the modes of life among the Arabs, which have undergone no change. Every allusion to local circumstances or national customs is elucidated by descriptions and pictures of the face of the country, buildings, plants, animals, dress, implements of trade, husbandry, and war, &c.: the statements being confined to facts."-Spectator.

"An excellent little volume. We like the manner in which the author has explained the principle of Church Communion, vindicated the authority of the Church, and then deduced the necessity of conformity to her worship, and obedience to her commands; while his observations on the religious duties demanded of her children are enforced with cogent reasoning and affectionate exhortation. The volume does credit to the talents of the author, and we think might advantageously be used, in many of its parts, in the pulpit."Gentleman's Magazine.

"A thoughtful, perspicuous, and beautiful comment on the Articles of the Holy Catholic Church, and the Communion of Saints.'"-British Critic.

MEMOIRS OF THE LIVES AND PERSECUTIONS OF THE PRIMITIVE QUAKERS, exemplifying the Obedience of Faith in some of the early Members of the Society of Friends. Second edition, thick post 8vo. extra cloth, (pub. at 78. 6d.) red. to 58. 1844

"We have rarely looked into a contribution to the Library of Dissent, more qualified by its earnestness, and by the absence of all that is offensive, to meet with acceptance among the Orthodox-nay more, to penetrate those large masses of the reading world who take no particular ism under their protection, and can only be interested by details illustrating the feelings and characteristics common to humanity. Mary Anne Kelty's book may, we think, be perused with interest, as a record of the early struggles of a body of conscientious men, apart from the peculiar doctrines it is intended to enforce and illustrate."-Athenæum.

KIPPIS, 10 vols. 8vo. best edition, extra cloth lettered, (pub. at 57. 58.) reduced to 47. 48. 1838

"The publication of Dr. Lardner's works constituted a new era in the annals of Christianity: for by collecting a mass of scattered evidence in favour of the authenticity of Evangelical History, he established a bulwark on the side of truth which infidelity has never presumed to attack."-Horne. LAWSON'S HISTORY OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF SCOTLAND from the Reformation to the present time, 2 thick vols. 8vo. ex. cloth, (pub. at 17. 108.) red. to 12s. 1843-4 HISTORY OF THE SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL CHURCH FROM THE REFORMATION TO THE REVOLUTION OF 1688, (being the early portion of the preceding work, sold separately,) 8vo. extra cloth, (pub. at 158.) reduced to 68.

These two volumes form a most complete and authentic History of the Episcopal Church of Scotland from the Reformation, including the exciting reigns of James I., Charles I., Charles II., and James II., the whole derived from valuable MSS. records, rare works, and other authentic sources. Many curious and interesting details are given of the true ecclesiastical state of Scotland in the seventeenth century not hitherto published.

"Mr. Lawson's work has made its appearance at the right time, and will be read with great interest. The narrative of the dis-establishment of the Scottish Episcopal Church at the Revolution, is a tale of suffering that has been seldom exceeded in these latter days of the Church."-Oxford Herald.

"The history of the Episcopal Church of Scotland, in its close connexion with the annals of Scottish Presbyterianism, is one of the most edifying episodes that ecclesiastical records present to our notice. Mr. Lawson has shown great ability, industry, and impartiality in his labours."-Church and State Gazelle, May 19, 1843.
