living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly, and church of the first-born, which are written in heaven, and to God the •Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." CONCLUSION. Allow me then, brethren, whether saints or sinners, to address you as men of understanding, and of feeling. I shall make no remarks, the truth of which you will not immediately acknowledge: and I shall leave you to draw from these remarks your own inferences. To yourselves, to each of you, the course of conduct which shall be pursued, is infinitely important. The mind is distinct from body. The soul outlives the outward man. It shall live for ever. Capable of progressive improvement, and of enduring enjoyment, it is reasonable to be concerned for its future destiny. The expansion of its faculties, the invigoration of its powers, the augmentation of its felicity, are objects worthy of regard. The happiness of a day is more important than the pleasure of an hour-the felicity which is without end, is more to be desired than transitory delight. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man either give or take in exchange for his soul? there is no admissible comparison. He is less to be detested, himself and his condition is less to be deplored, who stakes in the desperate game, his whole inheritance upon a throw, than he who foregoes the perfection and the enjoyment of everlasting life for the delusory pleasures of a transitory world. The fashion of this world passeth away. See the index which marks the passing time; it is never at rest. Eternity is approaching. Grey hairs indicate decline; wrinkles betoken debility: even youthful life is suspended over the tomb by cords of slender texture. Beneath that tomb there is a deeper abyss, a bottomless pit: and what prevents your fall into irremediable wo? I hear the voice of Mercy, that voice which said, "let there be light." It speaks of the soul that sinned, and deserves to suffer, " Deliver him from going down to the pit, for I have found a ransom." It calls upon the wanderer to return, upon the labourer to repose, upon the dying to live. It is the voice of my beloved. Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly! "Now, unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, dominion, and power, both now and ever. AMEN." PUBLISHED BY R CARTER, 58 CANAL STREET, N. Y., AND 56 MARKET STREET, PITTSBURG HORNE'S INTRODUCTIΟΝ. An Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. By Thomas Hartwell Horne, B.D. New Edition, corrected and enlarged. Illustrated with numerous Maps and Fac-similes of Biblical Manuscripts. 2 vols. imperial 8vo. Price only $350. "Mr. Carter has issued an edition of Horne's Introduction, which he offers at the astonishingly low price of $3 50-for the two volumes. Truly the scholar's millenium has well nigh come. Those who have paid twenty dollars for it, in four volumes, will hardly understand by what process such a massive work can be so cheaply furnished. It is a reprint from the last London edition, with Dr. Horne's latest additions and corrections, containing all the maps and illustrative engravings. "To commend Horne's Introduction to the clergy or other students of the sacred oracles, would be 'carrying coals to Newcastle.' It has long been regarded as an Indispensable work for a theological library, and has acquired among Biblical scholars-at least English scholars-a deservedly high repute. It is a work of gigantic labour. The results of the research and erudition of Biblical scholars of all countries, and in all time, are faithfully garnered, and, on the whole, well digested.".-NY.

"The fair sheet on which they are printed, with its wide margin and handsome type, attracts and pleases the eye; while the Scripture truth and holy sentiment which glow through their transparent style, delight and improve the heart. The subjects are all of an eminently spiritual character, relating to the new birth, and the sanctification of the soul. They are treated with no effort for the display of talent, but with a manifest and most earnest desire to do good. The diction is polished and slightly embellished, ranging between the neat and elegant; the method is always clear, and the argument cogent."-Recorder. ANCIENT HISTORY.

"This history is not a servile copy from any other, but has a delightful freshness about it, the borrowed parts being re-written, and cast into a new form, on ruch principles of selection and arrangement, as favour perspicuity, and assist the me. mory. Instead of being lost in a chaos of materials, the reader is carried along in a plain path through well assorted and happily adjusted facts, cheered by a vivacity which keeps him interested. God is not excluded from the world which he created, nor is his interposition in the affairs of men overlooked. For common use we think it deserves to supersede all that have gone before it."- Portland Christ. Mirror. CHALMERS' ROMANS. Lectures on the Epistle of Paul to the Romans.

"Of the Theological writers, who have written in our language, and belong to this generation, Dr. CHALMERS is unquestionably the strongest. It will gratify many that so able a writer, and so just a Theologian, has given the world an analysis of this Epistle. It is written in the terse and manly style of the author, but with no inflation of words or fancy. It is written also with great candour, and with no display of controversial argument."-Daily Chronicle. CHALMERS' SERMONS.-COMPLETE.

This Work has been introduced as a Text Book into the University of NewYork, and several other institutions of a similar kind. "The reputation of Dr. Chalmers stands high-too high to be affected by the opinions of ordinary men. As a literary man and a man of science-as a Christian and a Theologian-as a profound thinker and powerful writer-as an expositor of fundamental truth in Divinity and philosophy, and a practical man in the various departments of Christian labour-he has no superior.-Boston Recorder.

Miscellanies-Vol. III. Remains. "It is not easy to say whether these works discover the finer mind or heart; but certain it is that they unite both in a very uncommon degree. Cecil was one of the most gifted and heavenly-minded men of which the Church of England, or any other church, can boast; and though his mind was peculiarly constituted, the highest and the lowest are alike sensible of the charm that belongs to his productions, and of the power that dwells in them. His writings possess the attribute of being remarkably suggestive-a single half page will often supply materials for long-continued meditation."-Citizen.
