THE MORNING and EVENING SACRIFICE; or, Prayers for Private Persons and Families. SEVENTH EDITION, 12mo, price 5s. 6d. boards.

SCOTTISH EPISCOPAL REVIEW AND MAGAZINE.—• The language of these Prayers is pure, and much more simple and becoming than that of any similar work which has yet fallen under our eye.

EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE. This is a very splendidly-printed edition of a work whose commendation is almost in all the churches. We wish it all possible success. It ranks equally high in its intellectual and spiritual character; but it is eminently fitted to bind up the broken in heart.

NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. It is admirable for its plan, and charming for the beauty and simplicity of its style.

ATHENEUM.

It is in many parts very strongly imbued with the purest and most sublime Christian doctrine.

EDINBURGH THEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE.-・・・ We most cordially recommend it to all individuals and to all families, as peculiarly fitted to promote their highest and most lasting interests.

III.

THE LAST SUPPER, or Christ's Death kept in Remembrance. THIRD EDITION, 12mo, price 7s. 6d. boards.

EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE. We cannot but regard "The Last Supper" as an important accession to the library of the closet, and an acceptable aid in the all-important work of cultivating the religion of the heart.

CALEDONIAN MERCURY.-The dignity, the beauty, the prevailing energy of true religion, breaks out from every word that he (the author) utters, and possesses him evidently to a degree for which he cannot find expression.

EDINBURGH WEEKLY JOURNAL. In this treatise the powerful mind of the author seems to have put forth all its strength.

EDINBURGH WEEKLY CHRONICLE. We are not acquainted with any other work, where the distinguishing characteristics of this solemn rite are so clearly stated. or which is so well fitted to recommend it to the love and admiration of the Christian. EDINBURGH EVENING POST.-We envy not the man whose piety would not grow warmer, or whose religious principles are not strengthened, by its perusal.

IV.

FAREWELL to TIME, or Last Views of Life, and Prospects of Immortality; including Devotional Exercises, a great variety of which are in the Language of Scripture.-To be used by the Sick, or by those who Minister to them. THIRD EDITION, 12mo, price 7s. 6d. boards.

MONTHLY REVIEW.-*** The book is pervaded, indeed, by a spirit of rational and beautiful piety, which we should think it impossible for any heart to resist, and to the influences of which no heart, we are sure, would resign itself without being made both wiser and better and happier. Of a work which is all so excellent we scarcely know what portion to point out as deserving of highest praise. But we may mention the concluding section, entitled "Prospective Views," as particularly admirable. We are not sure, indeed, that we have ever read any discourse on the subject to which it refers, of either the talent or the sound philosophy of which we should be disposed to speak with warmer commendation. The short discussions interspersed through the volume, on various other points of Christian feeling and belief, are also, in general, written with admirable good sense, and in the best spirit; and the devotional addresses, especially those in the language of Scripture, are all exceedingly impressive and appropriate. Altogether, the work is indisputably the best of those on the same subject which have yet been given to the public.

LITERARY GAZETTE. This is a book of pure and beautiful Christian devotion, rendered the more effectual from being founded, in all its sentiments, on natural affections and rational piety. There is hardly a trouble or trial in this world which its simplicity, pathos, and consolatory suggestions may not help to sooth; and we sincerely recommend it to every class, but particularly to the afflicted and bereaved.

EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE. It is pervaded by a spirit of seriousness which is completely free from morbid gloom and superstitious terror, and by a tenderness which shows itself, not in affected pathos, but in the earnestness of its counsels and the power of its sympathy. The devotion of this book is mild and solemn, the sentiments are tender and solacing, and the style is characterized in a superior degree by elegance and beauty.

DIALOGUES on NATURAL and REVEALED RELIGION: With a Preliminary Inquiry; an Appendix, containing Supplemental Discourses; and Notes and Illustrations. By the Rev. ROBERT MOREHEAD, D.D., F.R.S.E., &c. 12mo, price 8s. boards.

EDINBURGH REVIEW.-This work, indeed, is truly that of a mind purified and refined by the holiest influences of genuine benevolence, as well as adorned with those accomplishments which add to the dignity, no less than to the usefulness of a Christian pastor.

BRITISH MAGAZINE.-Its richness in scriptural and historical illustrations, its varied and profound learning, the deep and enlightened tone of its philosophy, the independence and acuteness of its reasoning, the candour and ingenuousness of its statements, and the peculiarly interesting and important object at which it aims, give it a more than ordinary claim upon our approval. It is one of the few books which will repay the labour of a second or third reading.

LONDON LITERARY GAZETTE. This is a fervent, yet sensible, effort to implant religious feelings in the mind, by employing views of nature, and other simple but elevating means, instead of the usual forms of sermons and treatises. It is the work of a pious and able writer.

EDINBURGH LITERARY JOURNAL. This is in many respects one of the most interesting books that has fallen under our notice since the commencement of our critical career. * We frequently meet with the eloquence of Hume, combined with his ingenuity; while we enjoy throughout the purer satisfaction which arises from the exposure of sophistry, and from the development of the most important truths. The Ninth and Tenth Dialogues, which turn on the history and spirit of the Christian religion, are interesting in a very high degree. Besides the Preliminary Inquiry and the Dialogues on Natural and Revealed Religion, there is an Appendix of two hundred pages, containing Ten excellent Sermons illustrative of the subjects handled in the former part of the volume. These discourses were well worthy of a separate publication, and hence we regret to see them occupy a place comparatively so subordinate and secondary.

EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE. We hold the present volume to be a valuable contribution to the stores of theological literature. * It is eminently calculated to do good service to the cause of our common Christianity; and is, moreover, written in a clear, energetic, and elegant style.

DISCOURSES on the MILLENNIUM, the DOCTRINE of ELECTION, JUSTIFICATION by FAITH, and on the HISTORICAL EVIDENCE for the APOSTOLICAL INSTITUTION of EPISCOPACY; together with some Preliminary Remarks on the Principles of Scriptural Interpretation. By the Rev. MICHAEL RUSSELL, LL.D., Author of "A Connection of Sacred and Profane History," &c. 12mo, price 7s. 6d. boards.

MONTHLY REVIEW.-A more sensible and judicious guide for the human mind, through that wilderness of doubt and fear which it enters when it begins to contemplate the subjects specified in the title of this work, could not be recommended than the one before us.

SPECTATOR. On the whole we have been pleased, if not convinced, by Dr Russell's book; which does great honour to the literary talents of the reverend author, and to the community of which he is a respectable member.

EDINBURGH WEEKLY CHRONICLE. This is a very clever and judicious book, -written with great precision of style, with much clearness of illustration, and with a pleasing profusion of historical and theological learning. The work is fitted to be interesting to a great proportion of readers, for it states rules of interpretation,-as applicable to the Sacred Writings,-which are important to be known by all Christians, -and exemplifies these rules by an application of them to a series of questions which have for many hundred years agitated the Christian world,-and which still continue to perplex and to limit the views of many serious-minded men. The work is

a happy specimen of the best modes of scriptural exposition, applied to some of the most universally interesting of theological disquisitions; and we are certain that no reader will come from the perusal of it without confessing that he has been both pleased and enlightened.

EDINBURGH EVENING POST.-The whole discussion is managed with so much clearness of statement, with such force of argument, and often with such animation of language, that we were carried along with an interest equal to what we feel in perusing the pages of an affecting novel.

NEW NORTH BRITON.-We have risen from the perusal of this volume with a high esteem for the author's talents and learning, as well as for his bold and honest independence of mind.

THEOLOGICAL WORKS.

DISCOURSES on some IMPORTANT POINTS of CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE and DUTY. By the Rev. ALEX. STEWART, Minister of Douglas. 8vo, price 10s. 6d. boards.

EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE.-There is a correctness about Mr Stewart's composition which Blair never surpassed, and an ease which he never arrived at.

SCOTS TIMES.- With more energy of language, and greater practical power than the Sermons of Blair, they possess much of the finished elegance of Logan, and a great portion of the fervent piety to be found in the excellent Discourses of Walker.

THE GENIUS and DESIGN of the DOMESTIC CONSTITUTION, with its untransferable Obligations and peculiar Advantages. By CHRISTOPHER ANDERSON. Post 8vo, price 10s. 6d. boards.

EVANGELICAL MAGAZINE. This book deserves a careful perusal and an extensive circulation. It presents to the reader Scriptural principles, striking exemplifications, and judicious advices, on a subject of vital importance to the church and to the world.

CONGREGATIONAL MAGAZINE.-There is so much that is calculated to be useful to Christian parents, that we beg leave to recommend it very strongly to their consideration.

METHODIST MAGAZINE.-To the heads of all Christian families, as well as to adult children and servants, it may safely be recommended as the best manual extant in the English language on domestic duties.

BAPTIST MAGAZINE.-The sketches of Scripture characters are drawn by a master's hand, and the biographical notices of celebrated men and women in modern times are admirable.

Extracts from Reviews of the First Edition of this Work.

MONTHLY REVIEW.-Our readers perhaps will be at a loss, when they have perused the above title, to conjecture why the author has chosen to call his work A Concise System of Mensuration, since it would have been more appropriately denominated A Concise Course of Practical Mathematics, which its contents would very well have borne out. We have formerly had occasion to notice Mr Ingram's Elements of Euclid, which we have always considered as one of the best of our English translations of that work; and we are glad to be able to say, in the present instance, that the author has by no means given us reason to think more lightly of his talents for concise and accurate illustrations.... The author has found the means of comprising, in a small compass, much that is useful and valuable to the practical mathematician. MONTHLY MAGAZINE.-A Concise System of Mensuration, adapted to the Use of Schools, by Mr Alexander Ingram of Leith, is entitled to favourable mention. It embraces the theory and practice in such a manner that they may be taught either separately or conjointly; and the several rules are expressed in language remarkably clear and intelligible, and illustrated by very appropriate examples, so that the volume presents, in a very small compass, a complete system of the science.

LITERARY CHRONICLE.-Mr Ingram is the author of several Mathematical Works of considerable merit. He possesses a happy talent of rendering abstruse subjects intelligible, and, by thus smoothing the hills of science, enabling students to pass down them, not only with rapidity, but with ease. The present work on Mensuration, which embraces also Algebra and Fluxions, is an excellent elementary treatise, which cannot be too strongly recommended.

EUROPEAN MAGAZINE.-The character of the whole work is that of clearness; and, as it contains a compilation of the elements of so many useful and connected sciences, it is better as a school-book than so many separate introductions upon each science, provided at least that the scholar is intended for a profession which requires Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra, and Logarithms, to be followed by Mensuration, Surveying, Gauging, and Measuring the Work of Artificers.

MECHANICS' MAGAZINE.

Upon the whole, we consider this book to be, in point of practical utility, unrivalled, and earnestly recommend it to the notice of our numerous readers as the fittest work we have seen for being put into the hands of students in Mensuration.

Extracts from Reviews of the Second Edition.

NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. This is perhaps, taking every thing into the ac count, the best book of its kind and extent in our language at least, we are not acquainted with a better. It contains every thing essential for the student of elementary Mathematics, expressed most luminously, and with that proper medium of exposition, equally removed from verbose amplification and obscure brevity. The arrangement too of the subjects merits praise; and the tables annexed to the end are beautifully, and as far as we have been able to examine them, correctly printed. It is high, but hardly exaggerated praise, to say of this little manual, that it comprehends nearly as much mathematics, that is, as many useful mathematical facts, as the three volume course of Dr Hutton. It has our entire approbation.

ASIATIC JOURNAL.-This work appears, as far as we have been able to examine it, to be one of the clearest and most perspicuous, as well as succinctest, systems of Mathematics ever published. We must confine our character of it to this general statement; its contents, and we may add its merits, are too various to be particularized. The Tables of Logarithms, Sines, Tangents, Areas of Segments, &c., are of infinite use, and were hardly to be expected in a work so condensed as this.

IMPERIAL MAGAZINE.-Mr Ingram's compilation is one of much merit, and has evidently laid heavy contributions on his time and talents.

ATHEN ÆUM. It is certainly one of the most comprehensive manuals which have ever been drawn up either for schools or private students; none of the latter of whom, we apprehend, although even left without a master, will find any thing wanting in it which the title authorises him to expect. We have, indeed, met with no other work of the kind which is at the same time so complete, various, and accurate, on the one hand -and so cheap, and in every way commodious, on the other.

COURT JOURNAL.-Ingram's Concise System of Mathematics is an enlarged and greatly improved edition of a work which was formerly received with deserved favour, under the less appropriate title of A Concise System of Mensuration. The work condenses a vast deal of matter into a very small space; the nature of which matter will be fully expressed by the present title of the volume; and it performs its task with much of that clearness and precision which are so difficult to attain in attempts of this kind, and yet so indispensable to any useful end.

GLOBE AND TRAVELLER.-This is a school-book of no ordinary value. It is admirably adapted to the intended purpose, as the rules are laid down with a degree of simplicity not common to works of this class.

EDINBURGH NEW PHILOSOPHICAL JOURNAL.-We have carefully examined this valuable work, and find it throughout excellently calculated for the purposes stated in the title. The matter is well selected and judiciously arranged; the practical rules are given with great clearness, and the illustrations prove the thorough knowledge of the late excellent author in all the practical details of this important branch of education. It is neatly and correctly printed, and, what we consider of importance in a work of this description, is remarkably cheap.

EDINBURGH LITERARY JOURNAL.-The first edition of this work, published under the title of A Concise System of Mensuration, met with very great success. A number of important additions have now been made, especially in the departments of Algebra, Land-surveying, Gauging, Mensuration of Artificers' Works, the Limits of Ratios, Fluxions, and Fluents, and Spherical Trigonometry. An accurate set of Logarithmic Tables has also been added, and the whole has undergone a careful, rigorous, and minute revision.

EDINBURGH LITERARY GAZETTE.-In fact, we do not know that a single treatise on any of the subjects enumerated could be obtained for so small a sum as the whole work is sold for; and in this respect it fairly surpasses the modern libraries so much famed for their cheapness. In practical utility it will, we believe, be found with out a rival; and to Mechanics' Institutes, and Schools of Art in particular, it will prove an invaluable class-book-being superior in plainness and simplicity, and less costly too, than the treatises published under the sanction of the Society for Useful Knowledge, and which were intended to communicate useful information in an easy form, and at a trifling expense. We predict that its circulation will be as extensive as its merits.

SCOTSMAN. Within the compass of less than 400 duodecimo pages, it conducts the student through the elements of Algebra, Practical Geometry, Trigonometry Plane and Spherical, Mensuration, Surveying, Gauging; explains the nature and use of Logarithms and Series, the calculation of Annuities and Interest; and contains, besides, a great variety of useful tables. All the most important theorems and rules in Geometry, Mensuration, Gauging, &c., are illustrated by figures, which are always put into the page with the letter-press. The merits of the work are already pretty well known by the former edition, but the present is greatly enlarged as well as improved, and we can recommend it as one of the best books of the kind yet published.
