Chapter XIII: THE CONCEPTION OF DUTY. Page 273

Text size

"Duty! Thou great, thou exalted name! Wondrous thought that workest neither by fond insinuation, flattery, nor by any threat, but by merely holding up thy naked law in the soul, and so extorting for thyself always reverence, if not always obedience,--before whom all appetites are dumb, however secretly they rebel,--whence thy original?"--KANT'S _Critique of Practical Reason_.

"The more we look over the volume the more we admire it, and the
more heartily feel to commend it to families and devout
Christians. It is emphatically a book of devotion, from the
standpoint of an intelligent, broad-minded Christian minister,
who has here expressed many of the deepest emotions and wants of
the soul. The selections of Scripture and the hymns are all
admirably adapted to increase devotion; and the prayers are such
as can but aid the suppliant, even when not uttered from his
precise standpoint, and are especially valuable to many heads of
families who find it difficult to frame words for themselves in
conducting family worship."--_Journal and Messenger._

of the Gospel is beneath."--_Episcopalian_.

Milton's hitherto matchless epic, we believe it will be
'Yesterday, To-day, and Forever.'"--_London Globe._

=Butler (Rev. William Archer).= Sermons. 2 vols., $2.50. Lectures on Ancient Philosophy. 2 vols., $2.50.

"A few weeks ago we spoke of the reprinting, by Carter &
Brothers, of the Sermons of Archer Butler, a body of preaching
so strong and massive as to be really wonderful. The 'Lectures
on Ancient Philosophy' that are now added, were delivered at the
University of Dublin, about the year 1840, when the author was
scarcely thirty years old."--_Watchman._

=The Book and Its Story.= 12mo. $1.50.

=Fresh Leaves from the Book and Its Story.= 12mo. $1.50.

"Let any one who is inclined to think the bare Scriptures 'dry'
reading, peruse them in connection with a volume like this, and
they will be clothed to him with a new life. He will learn how
the separate books of the Bible were, as it were, built into one
another, and made to form a glorious whole: he will read
intelligently and with deep interest."--_Keystone._

"With no attempt at exposition, except what is found in
comparing Scripture with Scripture, and drawing illustrations
and means of impressing rich gospel truth from almost every
source, the author proceeds with theme upon theme, giving floods
of edifying and comforting light from beginning to end. It is a
good book for the private Christian to have on his table for
frequent use, and ministers will often find in it that which
will be suggestive and useful."--_Christian Instructor_.

ago, as the best writer of pointed, racy, religious articles in
our country."--_Presbyterian_.

ABRAHAM, THE FRIEND OF GOD $1.50

book (Abraham) is a thoughtful, scholarly production, in
vigorous English."--_N. Christian Advocate_.

"I consider Jonathan Edwards the greatest of the sons of
men."--_Robert Hall_.

=Fraser (Rev. Donald).= Synoptical Lectures on the Books of the Bible. 3 vols., $6.00.

"Dr. Fraser has observed, like many others of us, the mischief
which results from cutting the Bible into fragments, and using
it piecemeal. In these volumes he discourses of the Bible at
large, indicates the scope of each book, and furnishes a brief
digest of its contents. The design was in itself most laudable,
and it has been well carried out."--_Spurgeon_.

=Green (Prof. Win. Henry, D.D.).= The Argument of the Book of Job Unfolded. 12mo. $1.75.

"That ancient composition so marvellous in beauty, and so rich
in philosophy, is here treated in a thoroughly analytical
manner, and new depths and grander proportions of the divine
original portrayed. It is a book to stimulate
research"--_Methodist Recorder_.

=Guthrie (Thomas, D.D.).= Life and Works. 11 vols. $15.00.

rich imagery, and the tender pathos which breathed from his
lips."--_N. Y. Observer_.

"Those familiar with the works of Dr Hamilton will perceive that
this set of volumes contains the choice gold from the author's
mine. They are put up in a neat box, and sold at the low price
of $5 for the set."--_Interior_.

=Hamlin (Cyrus).= Among the Turks. 12mo. $1.50.

=Hanna (Rev. William, D.D.).= Life of Christ. 3 vols. 12mo. $4.50.

"We can heartily commend the 'Life of our Lord,' by Dr.
Hanna."--_Congregational Quarterly_.

"Besides the beauty of the style and the careful scholarship
which mark these volumes, we cannot too warmly commend them for
their deep piety and hearty enforcement of the doctrines of
Christianity."--_N. Y. Observer_.

=Hill (George).= Lectures on Divinity. 8vo. $2.50.

unfailing indication of real greatness."--_Christian Mirror_.

ON EPHESIANS. 12mo 1.75
ON CORINTHIANS. 2 vols. 12mo 3.50

Rev. C. H. Spurgeon says: "Most valuable. With no writer do we
more fully agree. The more we use Hodge, the more we value him.
This applies to all his Commentaries."

=Hodge (Rev. A. A., D.D.).= Outlines of Theology. Revised and Enlarged Edition. 8vo. $3.00.

"At its first publication in 1860, this work attracted much
attention, and ever since it has had a large sale, and been
carefully studied both in this country and in Great Britain. It
has been translated into Welsh and modern Greek, and has been
used as a text-book in several theological schools. Prepared
originally in good part from notes taken by the author from his
distinguished father's lectures, with the assistance of standard
theological writers, after fourteen years of service as a
theological instructor, he has, with increased knowledge and
experience as a teacher, embodied in this new and enlarged
edition not only the treasures of the volume as it first
appeared, but the rich results of his additional studies and
investigations. This new edition contains fifty per cent more of
matter than the former one. Two chapters have been dropped, and
five new ones have been added."--_Presbyterian Banner_.

ISOULT BARRY. 12mo $1.50

in the present century."--_American Baptist_.
