Chapter XXVI: Book XVI: Switzerland--Catastrophe. 1528-1531 (6)

"The great popularity of this volume appears from the large
number of editions through which it has passed in Great
Britain in a short number of years, having now reached the
17th edition, and proofs of its usefulness have not been
wanting. We can assure our readers that there are few works
of the kind so deeply interesting, or so well adapted to
religious edification. We cordially recommend it."--_Chris.
Int_.

THE MARTYR LAMB;

Or, Christ the Representative of his People in all Ages. By F. W. Krummacher, D.D., author of "Elijah the Tishbite," &c. Fourth Edition.

ELIJAH THE TISHBITE.

By F. W. Krummacher.

"Our author is characterized by a glowing and imaginative
style, which seems to be the expression of a heart warmed by
piety, and susceptible of the tenderest emotions. He
displays a happy tact, in developing, in the most pleasing
manner, the circumstances of a scriptural incident or
character, and of deriving from it practical
lessons."--_Presbyterian._

McCRIE ON ESTHER.

Lectures on the Book of Esther. By the Rev. Thomas McCrie, D.D., author of "Life of John Knox," &c.

MICHAEL KEMP,

The Happy Farmer's Lad. A Tale of Rustic Life, illustrative of the Scriptural Blessings and Temporal Advantages of Early Piety. By Anne Woodrooffe. Second Edition.

"Thoroughly and intensely have we read this book, 'because,'
as Talbot said of Boswell's Life of Johnson, 'we couldn't
help it.' We were struck with the ingenuous disposition and
firm principles of Michael, and we wished to see how they
would bear him through trying scenes. So much for the
interest which the story excites; the other merits of the
book are not inferior."--_Baptist Advocate._

THE COTTAGE FIRESIDE;

Or, the Parish Schoolmaster. By the Rev. Henry Duncan, D.D.

"This is a reprint of a Scotch work, by a clergyman of high
standing, who does not now for the first time appear as an
author. The narrative is constructed with great beauty, and
is designed at once to illustrate and remedy some of the
principal evils connected with domestic education. The work
may very properly occupy the attention both of parents and
children; and it will be read with pleasure by all who can
relish the simple and beautiful in thought and
expression."--_Argus._

THE CHRISTIAN CONTEMPLATED,

In a Course of Lectures delivered in the Argyle Chapel, Bath. By Rev. William Jay. New Edition.

"It has all the peculiar marks of Jay's mind; perspicuity of
arrangement, simplicity and occasional elegance of diction,
deep-toned piety and copiousness of sentiment. In
recommending such a book we are conscious of doing a service
to the cause of piety, by promoting the
spiritual-mindedness, and consistent, symmetrical conduct of
every Christian who prayerfully peruses it."--_Baptist
Advocate._

WORKS OF REV. HENRY SCOUGAL.

Containing the Life of God in the Soul, &c.

DEW OF ISRAEL,

CHRISTIAN FRAGMENTS;

Or, Remarks on the Nature, Precepts, and Comforts of Religion. By John Burns, M.D., F.R.S., Regius Professor of Surgery in the University of Glasgow, &c. &c.

"The different pieces constitute so many distinct, though
sometimes brief, disquisitions upon scriptural topics, and
are designed to promote the spiritual-mindedness of the
reader. They were written under the pressure of deep
affliction, and in view of an approaching judgment. They
display sound thought, evangelical sentiment, correct
doctrine, and an elevated tone of Christian
feeling."--_Advocate._

CHRISTIAN FATHER AT HOME;

Or, a Manual of Parental Instruction. By W. C. Brownlee, D.D.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD TO COME,

In a Waking Dream. By the late George B. Phillips. With Extracts, illustrative of his Spiritual Progress; and a Brief Memoir, by Mrs. Duncan, author of "Memoir of Mrs. Mary Lundie Duncan," &c.

"This is altogether an extraordinary production. The small
portion of it which gives it its title, is a strain of
fervent pious imaginings, based however upon the oracles of
God. One cannot easily read it without gaining a more deep
and solid impression of the other world."

INFANT PIETY.

A Book for Little Children. By Baptist W. Noel, M.A.

"In this volume one of the finest spirits in the established
church of England gives us a simple record of the pious
lives and happy deaths of several little children on both
sides of the Atlantic. The work is well adapted to
accomplish the benevolent design of its author, by leading
little children to remember their Creator."--_Albany Evening
Journal._

A MEMOIR OF JOHN HUSS.

Translated from the German.

"To many who are familiar with the life of Martin Luther,
that of John Huss, who preceded him, and prepared the German
mind for his more extended labours, is comparatively little
known. The true character of Romanism is displayed in the
treatment of each, but some of the darkest shades are seen
in the case of Huss."--_Baptist Advocate._

every emergency."--_Christian Mirror._

SINNER'S FRIEND.

From the eighty-seventh London Edition, completing upwards of half a million.

[☞ _This little Work has been translated into_ SIXTEEN _different languages._

"It is designed by its direct appeals, to arrest the
attention of the most careless reader, and to pour into his
ear some word of truth before he can become fatigued with
reading."--_Presbyterian._

"It is fitted to be an admirable auxiliary to ministers in
the discharge of their duty."--_Albany Daily Advertiser._

DECAPOLIS;

Or, the Individual Obligations of Christians to save Souls from Death. An Essay. By David Everard Ford. Fifth American, from the sixth London Edition.

"This book is an exhortation to Christians, and Christian
ministers, to exercise greater faithfulness in saving souls
from eternal death. We have read it with much pleasure, and
we hope with some profit. The book is most beautifully got
up; and we could wish that it might be read and pondered by
every one who indulges a hope that he is a Christian."--_N.
Y. Evangelist._

SHORTER CATECHISM.

Anecdotes Illustrative of the Shorter Catechism. By John Whitecross. New Edition.

"This will relieve the catechism of a difficulty which many
have felt in respect to it--that it is too abstract to be
comprehended by the mind of a child; here every truth is
seen in its practical relations, and becomes associated in
the mind with some interesting fact which is fitted at once
to make it plain to the understanding, to lodge it in the
memory, and to impress it upon the heart."--_Daily
Advertiser._

MEMOIR OF JOHN D. LOCKWOOD.

Being Reminiscences of a Son by his Father.

"A gifted mind and cultivated powers, hallowed and
controlled by a sweet and trustful piety; the simplicity of
childhood mingled with the seriousness and discretion of
mature age,--we are sure no one could watch his brief
career, terminating in a death, though sudden, not
unprepared for, without deep interest. We have read it with
unmingled pleasure and profit."--_N. Y. Evangelist._

AWAKE, THOU SLEEPER!

A Series of Awakening Discourses. 12mo.

"Few American clergymen have contributed more by their
efforts from the pulpit and through the press, to promote
the cause of evangelical truth and piety, than the lamented
author of this volume. Happily, though dead, he yet speaks
in a tone of impressive and earnest admonition; and the
present volume particularly, is a witness to the fidelity
and zeal with which he discharged his ministerial duties.
The subjects of which it treats are of the deepest moment;
and the manner in which he treats them is worthy of the
tenderness and fidelity of an ambassador of Christ. The work
is admirably adapted to promote a revival of religion."

"The style of the author is peculiarly adapted to a work of
this description. It is uncommonly perspicuous, terse,
nervous and calm. His ideas are the production of a
highly-cultivated mind, originally endowed with strong
common sense. In many respects he has the characteristics of
Andrew Fuller, with more of the polish of the
school."--_Baptist Advocate._
