THE LIFE AND SERMONS of the late Right Rev. NATHANIEL Bow MELVILL'S SERMONS. SERMONS BY HENRY MELVILL, B. -'., Minister of Camden Chapel, Camberwell, and late Fellow and Tutor of St. Iver's College, Cambridge. EDITED BY THE RT. REV. C. P. M'ILVAINE, D. D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Olna. Fourth edition. One volnme, royal 8vo. $2,50. This volume contains all the sermons yet published by the author, or under his sunction. Many others have been published surreptitiously, which he never prepared for the press, and which ought not to be read as specimens of his preaching. A strong attestation of the merit of these discourses is given in the fact, that flooded as is the market with the immense variety of pulpit composition which the London press continually pours in, so that a bookseller can scarcely be persuaded to publish a volume of sermons at his own risk, and such a volume seldom reaches beyond a single edition, those of Melvill have passed through several, and do not cease to attract much attention. "Heartily do we admire the breathing words, the bold figures, the picturesque images, the forcible reasonings, the rapid, vivid, fervid perorations, of these discourses."-British Critic. COMPANION FOR THE ALTAR, OR, WEEK'S PREPARATION FOR THE HOLY COMMUNION: Consisting of a Short Explanation of the Lord's Supper, and Meditations and Prayers proper to be used Before and During the Receivin, of the Holy Communion; according to the Form prescribed by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. BY JOHN HENRY HOBART, D. D., The writer has endeavored to keep in view two principles, which he deems most important and fundamental. These principles are-That we are saved from the guilt and dominion of sin by the divine merits and grace of a crucified Redeemer; and that the merits and grace of this Redeemer are applied to the soul of the believer in the devout and humble participation of the ordinances of the Church, administered by a Priesthood who derive their authority by regular transmission from Christ, the Divine Head of the Church, and the source of all power in it." Perhaps no other commendation of this work is needed than the fact, that since its first publication, in 1804, it has successfully withstood the competition of all other works on the same subject, has passed through almost countless editions, and is still steadily increasing in the favor of the pious and devout. JERRAM ON INFANT BAPTISM. CONVERSATIONS ON INFANT BAPTISM. BY CHARLES JERRAM, VICAR OF CHOBHAM, SURRY. These Conversations furnish a complete view of the whole controversy, and a most con elusive defence of Infant Baptism. Valuable Works, published by Stanford & Swords. PALMER'S CHURCH HISTORY. A COMPENDIOUS ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY, FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE PRESENT TIME. BY THE REV. WILLIAM PALMER, M. A., AUTHOR OF "ORIGINES LITURGICÆ," &C. WITH PREFACE AND NOTES BY AN AMERICAN EDITOR. "The truly learned and sound-minded author has set himself honestly to seek out the results of the system devised by Heavenly Wisdom, and set in operation by God himself, when He dwelt among us. He does not puzzle himself and his reader with an attempt at a pragmatical' investigation of the human motives and propensities that have carried on, while they seemed to thwart and vitiate, the divine counsels for man's salvation. Still less does he stoop to flatter the poor pride of human reason by lowering a narrative of God's doings with and in his Church to the toue of secular history, and making all plain and easy for the most unspiritual comprehension. He writes as a believer of the facts that he narrates; but not a believer without investigation. He writes as one whose own belief makes him in earnest with his reader, and in consequence leaves the impression of reality on the mind. Convinced that God did indeed found his Church upon a rock, immoveable and unconquerable, he looks for it, without fear or shrinking, amid the worst of tempests of controversial strife or secular oppression, and under the deepest mists of ignorance und error, and not only finds it, signalized by its unvarying tokens of peace, holiness and joy, but makes it obvious to others. We see, with him, that though times have changed, and manners varied, the word and promise of God have endured unchanged, and their accomplishment has gone on iuvariably."-Bishop Whittingham. RECORDS OF A GOOD MAN'S LIFE, BY THE REV. CHARLES B. TAYLER, M. A. One handsome volume. 12mo. 75c. "This is, indeed, a golden book '--one that cannot be read without as much profit as pleasure by all who feel interest in the life of a good country parson. The narrative exhibits the character of a man who was distinguished, not for talent or learning, but for being in earuest, and heartily endeavoring to live up to his Christian profession-with whom baptism was not a form, but the commencement of a life of Christian faith.”— Banner of the Cross. "An elegant reprint of a volume endeared to many a heart by a thousand charms of style, sentiment, and pious meditation. The loveliness of humanity passing through the stages of life under the influence, and illuminated by the divine light of the pure precepts of the Gospel, the surpassing beauty of holiness exhibited in the character of woinan as a Christian wife and mother, and the manly dignity and nobleness of the Christian father and husband, are all here exhibited so sweetly, so truthfully, so eloquently, as to touch the soul of the most obdurate. We trust all our readers are so familiar with these pages, as to feel the justice of our praise, and to seize enzerly the opportunity of again meeting an old and beloved companion."-Protestant Churchman. HOBART'S FESTIVALS AND FASTS. A Companion to the Festivals and Fasts of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America.

One volume. 12mo. 75c. "It will prove a useful companion in the exilted exercises of the Christian life; and, while it serves to impress on the momers of the Episcopal Communion the excel lence of their truly Apostolic and Primitive Church, it must excite them to adorn their profession by corresponding fervor of piety and sanctity of manners." |
