BACON, Rev. H. B.—Lectures for the Use of Sick Persons. By the Rev. H. B. Bacon, M.A. Fcap. cloth, 2s. 6d.

“The Lectures possess two very great recommendations. First,—they are brief, concise, and to the point; and secondly,—the language is plain, free from ambiguity, and scriptural. * * * It may be very profitably meditated upon by the sick; and young clergymen will not lay it down after perusal without having derived some instruction.”—Christian Guardian.

BATEMAN, Mrs.—The Two Families; or, the Power of Religion. By J. C. Bateman, Author of “The Netherwoods of Otterpool.” Fcap. cloth, 3s. 6d.

“This is an entertaining book, written in an unambitious and clear style, showing the elevating influence of religion, and the baneful effects of neglecting it. The moral of the story is healthful and not overdrawn, although rather hackneyed. We cordially praise the book for its earnestness and simplicity.”—Public Opinion.

“This little book is so well written, that we trust it will have a very wide circulation. Mrs. Bateman’s clever volume is admirably adapted for young people, but all may profit by its contents.”—Examiner.

Bow in the Cloud: a Memoir of M. E. H. By her Sister, Author of “Ellen Mordaunt.” Fcap. cloth, 3s. 6d.

“A simple, but touching biography. It records the trials and the consolations of one whose father died after a lingering illness, shortly before the period of her own dissolution; and whose mother survived this shock for a few months only. The experience of sorrow is thus sketched, under no ordinary circumstances, by the only surviving member of the family. There is nothing of maudlin sentimentalism in the book; it conveys some weighty lessons to the Christian reader.”—Liverpool Courier.

“We have sometimes met clergymen who are in the habit of endeavoring to to promote the Missionary cause in their parishes, who would be thankful for such a little book as this. It seems to us just the sort of book that might be read out to a class of young persons, either in National Schools or otherwise, and which would be certain to interest them exceedingly.”—English Review.

“Young readers may spend some hours agreeably, and not without profit. It is a pathetic, well-written story.”—Reader.

“It is intensely interesting, and the style of writing is of a high order. We seem to breathe the air of domestic purity, and to enjoy the society of highly-polished minds, as we read these pages. The descriptive parts are also well conceived and finished, and the whole impression conveyed by the narrative is that the writer has considerable delicacy of feeling and much mental polish.”—Clerical Journal.

“The story is well worth reading on its own account. The plot is natural and interesting, the characters well conceived and distinctly drawn, and the style of writing easy, pleasant, and readable throughout.”—Economist.[9]

GELL, Rev. P.—On Sacramental Baptism: What says the Liturgy? What is it made to say? What should it say, if revised? the rule by which to judge being, What saith the Scripture? An Inquiry. By the Rev. Philip Gell, M.A., late Rural Dean, and Minister of St. John’s, Derby. 12mo. cloth, 2s.

[11]

GRAY, Mrs. H.—History of Rome for Young Persons. By Mrs. Hamilton Gray. With numerous Wood Engravings. Second Edition, corrected. 1 vol. 12mo. cloth, 6s.

“A very ingenious attempt to bring the recent discoveries of the critical school into working competition with the miserable Goldsmiths and Pinnocks of our youth.”—Christian Remembrancer.

“The clear, lively, and pleasing style of narration is admirably calculated to awaken and sustain the attention.”—Athenæum.

—— Emperors of Rome from Augustus to Constantine: being a Continuation of the History of Rome. 1 vol. 12mo. with Illustrations, 6s.

“So many applications are made to us for histories suited to a period of life when the mind is beginning to develope its power, and to find satisfaction in connecting the past with the present and the future in human affairs, that we are induced to recommend these volumes, which, however widely circulated, have not half the circulation which they deserve. They are clearly written. They neither minister to childish imbecility, nor take for granted a measure of knowledge which cannot be lawfully expected of the young. They present the page of history as it really is—not a series of dry details, nor of gorgeous spectacles, but with enough of plain fact to instruct the understanding, and of romantic incident to kindle the sympathies and affections.”—Christian Observer.

“We have no hesitation in saying, that this is one of the best histories of the Roman Empire for children and young people which has come under our notice. Mrs. Hamilton Gray has made herself acquainted with at least some of the more important ancient writers on the subject of which she treats, and also with the criticisms of Niebuhr and other modern investigators of Roman history.”—Athenæum.

“It may be recommended as a clear, rapid, and well-arranged summary of facts, pointed by frequent but brief reflections.... The book is a very good compendium of the Imperial History, primarily designed for children, but useful for all.”—Spectator.

“It would be an erroneous impression to convey of this volume, that it is written solely for schools and children. In reality it is an abridgment far more likely to be useful to grown-up persons, who can reflect upon the working of general laws, and make their own observations upon men and things. A striking characteristic of the book is the impartiality of its political tone and its high moral feeling.”—Examiner.

—— The History of Etruria. Part I. Tarchun and his Times. From the Foundation of Tarquinia to the Foundation of Rome. Part II. From the Foundation of Rome to the General Peace of Anno Tarquiniensis, 839, B.C. 348. 2 vols. post 8vo. cloth, each 12s.

“A work which we strongly recommend as certain to afford pleasure and profit to every reader.”—Athenæum.

—— Tour to the Sepulchres of Etruria in 1839. Third Edition. With numerous Illustrations, post 8vo. cloth, 1l. 1s.

“Mrs. Gray has won an honourable place in the large assembly of modern female writers.”—Quarterly Review.

“We warmly recommend Mrs. Gray’s most useful and interesting volume.”—Edinburgh Review.

GRIFFITH, Rev. T.—The Lord’s Prayer: contemplated as the Expression of the Primary Elements of Devoutness. Second Edition. Fcap. cloth, 2s.

—— The Spiritual Life. Eighth Edition. Fcap. cloth, 4s.[12]

GRIFFITH, Rev. T.—The Fatherhood of God. By the Rev. Thomas Griffith, A.M. Prebendary of St. Paul’s, and Minister of Ram’s Episcopal Chapel, Homerton. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 4s. 6d.

“This is a thoughtful and valuable book, from an Author advantageously known by his former publications. It is divided into three parts: the Fatherhood of God Asserted, the Fatherhood of God Vindicated, the Fatherhood of God Established. There are phenomena which seem to contradict the notion we are justly taught to form of the Deity. How are we to understand them? What are we to infer from them? Questions of this kind have perplexed and distressed many minds. Mr. Griffith considers them sensibly and scripturally; and we feel convinced that the study of his work will satisfy many doubts. We are much pleased with the chapter on the toleration of Moral Evil. There are also some judicious remarks on prayer, the position it holds in regard to God’s assumed immutability. In short, many of the topics now specially exercising men’s thoughts are here well treated.”—Church of England Magazine.

“The Divine Fatherhood is the most soul-invigorating and soul-raising of all truths; whilst practically disregarded by the world, it is often concealed from congregations by the cloudy dogmas of the pulpit. We gratefully hail, therefore, every attempt of the pulpit to bring out this grand truth in bold relief before the consciences of men. This is no commonplace production. Many of the thoughts are strikingly original, the reasoning is everywhere close and cogent; the illustrations are telling; the style is pithy and pungent; and the spirit that of a manly and catholic evangelism.”—The Homilist.

HARE, Rev. A. W.—Sermons to a Country Congregation. By Augustus William Hare, A.M. late Fellow of New College, and Rector of Alton Barnes. Eighth Edition. 2 vols. 12mo. cloth, 14s.

“They are, in truth, as appears to us, compositions of very rare merit, and realise a notion we have always entertained, that a sermon for our rural congregations there somewhere was, if it could be hit off, which in language should be familiar without being plain, and in matter solid without being abstruse.”—Quarterly Review.

HASTINGS, Rev. H. J.—Parochial Sermons, from Trinity to Advent. By Henry James Hastings, M.A. Honorary Canon of Worcester, Rural Dean, Rector of Martley, Worcestershire. 8vo. cloth, 12s.

HATCHARD, Rev. T. G.—The Floweret Gathered; a Brief Memoir of a Departed Daughter. By T. Goodwin Hatchard, M.A. Rural Dean, Rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford. Third Thousand. Square 16mo, 1s.

“This is an account of one of the lambs of Christ’s fold, who exhibited the truest simplicity and natural character of a child, united to unwavering trust in and love to that Saviour, who took her early to himself. It is calculated both to interest, and, we trust, greatly to profit, our young friends, as a pattern of early piety.”—Church of England Sunday-school Monthly Magazine for Teachers.

“No one can rise from the perusal of this little volume without feeling deeply interested in the lovely character of the dear Addie.”—Jewish Intelligence.

“This is a touching little narrative for the young. Few will read it without a full heart, and the shedding of a tear of sweet sympathy with ‘The Floweret Gathered.’”—Children’s Jewish Advocate.

—— Thanksgiving; or, The Wave-Offering and the Heave-Offering. A Harvest Sermon preached in Havant Church on Sunday, August 20, 1854. 8vo. price 6d.

“These Sermons are marked by unaffected piety, great clearness of exposition, and a direct plainness of style and purpose which render them pre-eminently practical.”—Britannia.

“A set of plain, spirited discourses, which are not unlikely to disturb the repose of the drowsy, and to send home simple truths to the hearts that heed them. The Sermons are, besides, scriptural in their doctrinal views, charitable in temper, unpolemical rather asserting the truth than contending for it.”—Christian Observer.

HEADLAND and SWETE.—St. Paul’s Epistles to the Thessalonians. With an Introduction, Notes, Practical Thoughts, and Prayers, for Private and Family Use. By Edward Headland, M. A., Rector of Broadway, Dorset, late Fellow of Caius College, Cambridge; and Henry Barclay Swete, M.A., Fellow of Caius College, and Curate of Blagdon, Somerset. Crown 8vo. cloth, 4s.

“This work is admirably adapted to answer the purpose for which it has been prepared and published; viz. that of supplying the wants of intelligent and inquiring readers of the Holy Scriptures with the means of becoming acquainted with the best results of modern Biblical research, who have not the learning requisite for seeking them in the critical and elaborate works which have been put forth of late.”—Clerical Journal.

“This will be found a valuable little book, illustrating the Epistles in question rather with a devotional than a critical purpose.”—John Bull.

“We can bear testimony to the scriptural orthodoxy, evangelical spirit, accurate scholarship, and lucid style which characterise it throughout. The notes are brief, but to the point, and omit no topic of interest or importance, and are interspersed with apposite sayings from commentators, ancient and modern, which often contain a world of truth. The ‘Practical Thoughts’ bring the truth of each chapter to bear on the heart and the conscience in a plain and instructive way, which renders the book very useful for reading at family worship; and a carefully-written Appendix presents the reader with a digest and criticism of the various interpretations which have been put forth on the Man of sin of the second chapter.”—Record.

By the same Editors.

The Epistle to the Galatians. With an Introduction, Explanatory Notes, Practical Thoughts, and Prayers, for Private and Family Use. Crown 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d.

“The whole poem breathes the purest morality and the loftiest devotion. Going through it is like going through a cathedral, where, as the grand music rolls on the ear, the eye is almost everywhere enchanted with visions of unearthly interest and scriptural beauty, breaking in richest colour from its storied windows, while the soul is touched and stirred with the deepest emotions of religion. Mr. Moon’s poem is a great work.”—Church and School Gazette.

“A volume much wanted, well considered, sufficiently comprehensive to form a manual for clerical readers, &c.”—Christian Observer.

“This is a valuable work ... the most valuable manual we have on the subject.”—Christian Remembrancer.

“Mr. Moore has succeeded in advancing many principles and suggestions by which success (in preaching) may be obtained. A work of the kind was wanted.... The various topics included in the idea of a good sermon are fully discussed, and many admirable hints are furnished on the parts and arrangements of a sermon,—on style in relation to preaching,—the delivery of a sermon, on extempore preaching, &c.”—Journal of Sacred Literature.

“So far as we are aware the present will be found to be the most exhaustive treatise upon the subject that exists. Mr. Moore writes in a tone of excellent common sense. Its perusal is almost a duty for the clergy, and will not be without interest for the laity.”—Literary Gazette.

“Mr. Moore is a master in pulpit addresses; his suggestions are therefore entitled to great attention. We should like to put this volume into the hands of all candidates for the university, of all young clergymen, and of many old ones too. There is much of wise observation and judicious admonition in the book. It deserves to be carefully studied.”—Church of England Magazine.

“It is an admirable treatise. The young clergyman, and those who are not young, but who have yet a good deal to learn, will do well to make themselves familiar with it.”—British Quarterly Review.

“On all these subjects Mr. Moore treats fully, clearly, and earnestly, and introduces a great deal of illustration in the way of anecdote, or quotations from various well-known authors. The book is thus very interesting, apart from the great end it contemplates, and cannot be read without profit.”—Clerical Journal.

“A concise narrative of the most memorable incidents connected with the life and death of the Apostle, rendered in familiar language, adapted to the awakening intelligence of very young children. The events are given in separate chapters, and may be referred to as daily lessons or otherwise; and as the pleasant style of the authoress is exceedingly well suited to the perceptions of the little ones for whom she has laboured, we have no doubt her ‘Stories about St. Paul’ will become popular in the nursery, and also in the infant schools.”—St James’s Chronicle.

“The little readers of ‘Stories about St. Paul’ will, by the time they have reached the last page of this pretty volume, know more about the apostle, prophet, and martyr, than many a painstaking reader of the New Testament of more mature age.”—Morning Advertiser.

“Mr. Niven has done ample justice to this beautiful chapter. He has gone thoroughly into the literature of the subject; has fairly grappled with all the difficulties of the passage as they arise; has given his solution of them in a clear and convincing manner; and has so conducted the whole argument, that while it is all along expository it is also, and pari passu, eminently practical.”—British and Foreign Evangelical Review.

“It is replete with very precious lessons touching the great subject of which it treats. Let this book be thoroughly worked into the head, and into the heart, and death will have no terrors. It exhibits the Saviour’s work in reference to mortality and immortality, with great beauty and feeling.”—British Standard.

“We have much pleasure in commending this little work to the public, for we believe it will carry comfort into many a bereaved and mourning home, and prove useful in throwing much light on the great subject with which it deals.”—Record.

“We think this a valuable little book. We are much interested with the chapter on ‘the resurrection body;’ and we willingly recommend the volume for its devout tone and weighty practical lessons.”—Church of England Magazine.

“We give this volume our heartiest commendation. It is suitable either for family reading, for the study, or for the closet.”—English Presbyterian Review.

“These letters from ‘Over the Sea’ contain just the kind of information that one wishes to have about the country and the people of India, and the mode of life of the English in the East. The description of scenery and sketches of native character and customs are graphic and entertaining, and the pictures are all the more vivid from the style being such as was deemed most adapted for youthful readers.”—Literary Gazette.

“... their tone is so manly, sensible, and affectionate, with a pervading element of unobtrusive religious principle, that it is impossible to read them without a feeling of regard for the anonymous writer, and interest in his youthful correspondents.”—Guardian.

“In this well-bound and admirably printed volume we have eight tales of a religious character, likely to increase the love of the young for religion, and to lead those of mature years to serviceable reflections. As aids to serious thought, and as a choice contribution to religious literature, we can cordially commend this work.”—Public Opinion.

We cite a sentence in which our readers will see how faithfully Mr. Rawnsley maintains the doctrine of the atonement.”—Church of England Magazine.

    ⁂ In this little work the attempt is made, by the classification of words, removing all perplexity, to prevent TEARS, and by a succession of pictures, furnishing constant entertainment, to preserve the SMILES of happy childhood while learning to read.

“That this elementary volume is the work of the authoress of the ‘Peep of Day’ will be a sure passport to the hearts of thousands, both parents and children. But apart from its authorship, the book itself is admirable; the arrangement, pictures, typography, and reading exercises being alike adapted to realise the idea of the title, learning to read ‘without tears.’ Teachers are addressed in some valuable prefatory remarks. The authoress lays great stress on the exclusion of the element of fiction from the narratives which she has introduced as lessons.”—Record.

Throughout he preserves a dignified style, and while taking great pains to expose the assumption of philosophy, he never neglects to attack the lesser, but no less mischievous assaults of ignorance. As a valiant champion, our author is well armed at all points, and uses his weapons dexterously.”—Public Opinion.
