District Clerk's Office.

Be it remembered, that on the twentysecond day of May, A. D. 1829, in the fiftythird year of the Independence of the United States of America, Carter and Hendee, of the said district, have deposited in this office the title of a book, the right whereof they claim as proprietors, in the words following, to wit:

'Sermons by the late Rev. J. S. Buckminster, now first published from the Author's Manuscripts.'

In conformity to the act of the Congress of the United States, entitled An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein mentioned; and also to an act, entitled An act supplementary to an act, entitled, "An act for the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times therein inentioned;" and extending the benefits thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical and other prints.'

ADVERTISEMENT.

THE wish has been often expressed by the friends of Mr Buckminster, particularly by those to whom his sermons were first addressed, that a further selection from them might be printed. The volume already published contains many of his most valued sermons, and the friends by whom the choice was made, faithfully discharged their duty to the reputation of Mr Buckminster while subjecting it to the severe test of a posthumous publication. But those who were his hearers are aware, that many of his sermons remained unpublished, not less adapted to the ends of religious instruction, than those contained in the first volume.

In offering to the public a further selection, the friends of Mr Buckminster are therefore confident that they shall make a highly useful addition to the stock of works adapted to promote the best influences of Christianity.

Few collections of sermons have been so favorably received as the former volume, and a firm persuasion is entertained that the additional volume, which is now presented to the christian community, will prove in no degree less acceptable.
