SECOND EDITION, Small 8vo, Cloth, with Frontispiece, Price 28., THE MISSIONARY OF KILMANY, A MEMOIR OF ALEXANDER PATERSON, WITH NOTICES OF ROBERT EDIE, BY THE REV. JOHN BAILLIE, LINLITHGOW. Extract Letter from the EARL OF SHAFTESBURY.-"Where have we, in conspicuous' life, any one to approach the physical and spiritual labours of this humble saint? He entered, without reserve, into the apostolical counsel to avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law,' and adopted the determination to know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified!' Here is the true secret of the ministerial power, whether it be in the palace of Cæsar, in the deserts of Africa, or in the foul dens of Glasgow and London. May God, in His mercy, give us many such! They are 'the salt of the earth.'" "I should not be surprised if Alexander Paterson, in his day and generation, shall be found to have turned more unto righteousness than many of the most esteemed and evangelical clergy of our Church."-Dr. Chalmers. "The whole work is one of singular interest, both from its delineations of the character and labours of the Christian Patriarch, and from the delightful glimpses we once more enjoy of Dr. Chalmers, in one of the most loveable aspects of his character."-Scottish Guardian. "A singularly interesting book. They were the fast friends and correspondents of Dr. Chalmers, and in the Memoir before us, many of the most characteristic and lovely traits of that great man's character are exhibited in a light remarkably striking and captivating."- Scottish Press. "In gathering for our use this precious fruit of the Kilmany ministrations, Mr. Baillie has plucked off along with it a branch of that great tree whereon it grew, a tree fertile in many such fruits. He connects with his narrative many delightful anecdotes of Dr. Chalmers, which are quite new to us; and has made large use of the manuscript correspondence. We cannot doubt that such a memoir will be very extensively read."- Witness. LIST OF WORKS PUBLISHED BY THOMAS CONSTABLE AND CO.

In Four Volumes, 8vo, Price £2, 28., MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE AND WRITINGS OF THOMAS CHALMERS, D.D. LL.D. BY HIS SON-IN-LAW, THE REV. WILLIAM HANNA, LL.D. "Dr. Hanna is to be congratulated on the manner in which he has fulfilled the important task on which he has now for several years been engaged. Dr. Chalmers is a man whose life and character may well engage many writers; but no one possessed such materials as Dr. Hanna for writing a biography so full and detailed as was in this case demanded. The four volumes which he has laid before the public are not only an ample discharge of his special obligations as regards his splendid subject, but also a much needed example of the manner in which biographies of this kind, combining original narrative with extracts from writings and correspondence, ought to be written."-Athenæum. "We find that throughout this article, we have been serving Dr. Hanna very much as he has served himself in the course of his labours, in compiling these Memoirs. He, occupied with his great subject, has kept himself out of view; and we, warmed at the same fire, have been almost forgetting him, as he himself. But he will have his revenge of us. All the world has read, or will presently be reading, what he has written; and thousands of readers will be grateful to him for what he has done, so well, for their edification and pleasure; or even if they forget to render this deserved tribute, it will be because with them as with us, a Memoir of Chalmers, if worthily compiled, must, in the nature of the case, quite fill the reader's thoughts and heart-criticism forgotten."-Isaac Taylor in the North British Review.

SECOND EDITION, Crown 8vo, Cloth Extra, with Frontispiece, Price 68., ART AND NATURE UNDER AN ITALIAN SKY. BY M. J. M. D. "However old the theme, a new mind will freshen it-however over-described the region, one good description more is always welcome. This, we do not hesitate to say, the work before us offers. A grand-daughter of Beckford's, while travelling in his steps, had a claim of no common kind to be heard, and she has fully justified her claim. . . . She is truly catholic in her love of nature, and depicts every gradation, from the rugged to the soft, with a kind of joyful precision we have seldom found surpassed."-Quarterly Review. "The authoress possesses the excellent quality of judging for herself, and does not go into raptures at the places marked in the guide-books, nor swell her pages with Stark and Forsyth at second-hand. Like Beckford, whose grand-daughter we understand she is, the authoress possesses no ordinary powers of description. . . The volume is a masterpiece of typography. . . . In all respects it is worthy of a place in the boudoir or drawing-room."-Literary Gazette. "The production of a lady, and written with an elegant vivacity which a pen less ductile would strive in vain to rival. No more delightful book has issued from the press.... We can assure our readers that a more accomplished or delightful companion through sunny Italy is not to be found than the accomplished authoress of this volume."-Scottish Press.

"In this very tasteful little book there is plenty of instruction, of humane and pious lessons, blended with amusement, which we hope may contribute to the enjoyment and improvement of many of our juvenile friends."- Watchman. "A book of beauty: there runs through it a stream of elegant and interesting thought."-Christian Witness. LIST OF WORKS PUBLISHED BY THOMAS CONSTABLE AND CO. WORKS BY JAMES DOUGLAS OF CAVERS. POPERY AND INFIDELITY. "The present treatise is rich in all the qualities which distinguish the productions of a mind vigorous in thought, comprehensive in its views, stored with knowledge, and capable of clothing its conceptions in language dignified, classical, and elegant.” -Evangelical Christendom. “Very valuable and seasonable, and quite worthy of the deservedly high reputation of its author."-Bulwark. "From the charm of style, the interest of the subject, and the freshness and importance of the writer's views, it is well worthy of a wide perusal."-Free Church Magazine. Also, a New Edition, uniform with the above, Price 1s., Cloth, THE STRUCTURE OF PROPHECY. "Our respect for the venerable writer, and our admiration of these Lectures are so profound, that we can no longer defer an earnest recommendation of them to our readers."-Eclectic Review. "Our readers will hail the announcement of a work of Mr. Douglas on the momentous yet difficult subject of Prophecy. They will repair to this work with expectation, and we can assure them they will not be disappointed. It may be properly designated a chart. Its object is not to expound Prophecy, but to delineate the Prophecies which have to be expounded. It will be read by intelligent men with deep interest."-British Banner. Crown 8vo, Price 1d., or 7s. 6d. P 100, ROME AND MAYNOOTH. "A singularly well-written tract, embodying the most sound and comprehensive views of the present struggle."-The Bulwark. Marked by the same affluence of knowledge, and beauty of classical allusion, and soundness and breadth of political views, and deep-toned piety which have distinguished the former writings of Mr. Douglas."-Scottish Congregational Magazine.
