DAVID ELLINGTON. By Rev. HENRY WARE, JR. With other Extracts from his Writings. 18mo. pp. 192. Price, 37-1/2 cents.

"Mr. Ware has left very few things which will do so much towards promoting the great object for which he lived and labored. The simple story of the every-day life of a good man, told as these stories are told, finds a response in the hearts of those most indifferent to the great concerns of virtue and religion; it reaches and touches what nothing else, not the eloquent preaching of an apostle, could reach and touch."

CHRISTIAN CONSOLATIONS. Sermons designed to furnish Comfort and Strength to the Afflicted. By Rev. A.P. PEABODY, Pastor of the South Church, Portsmouth, N.H. 16mo. pp. 320. Price, 75 cents.

"We welcome with almost as much surprise as satisfaction the appearance of a volume of discourses as excellent as those of Mr. Peabody. They are rich in thought, and of a high order of literary merit."—N.A. Review.

THE GENERAL FEATURES OF THE MORAL GOVERNMENT OF GOD. By A.B. JACOCKS. 16mo. pp. 94. Price, 37-1/2 cents.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF NATURE: with an Outline of some of its recent Developments among the Germans, embracing the Philosophical Systems of Schelling and Hegel, and Oken's System of Nature. By J.B. STALLO, A.M., lately Professor of Analytical Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry in St. John's College, N.Y. 12mo. pp. 532. Price, $1.25.

"It grapples with the most abstruse problems, and tugs fiercely to pluck out the heart of their mystery. No difficulty is too great for the author to meet, and none seems able to upset his theory. In truth, the book is one of the most profound ever published in Boston, and whatever opinion may be given regarding its principles, none can gainsay its vigor of understanding and reach of learning. The pertinent question, Who reads an American book? will change somewhat its meaning, if American literature takes the abstruse direction indicated by Mr. Stallo's volume. In that event, our books will remain unread, not because they are too shallow, but because they are too deep."—Boston Courier.

MORNING AND EVENING MEDITATIONS, for every Day in a Month. By MISS CARPENTER (daughter of the late Dr. Lant Carpenter). 16mo. pp. 312. Price, 62-1/2 cents.

"The compiler of this work has rendered good service to all possessed of Christian sympathies."—Literary World.

"We like its spirit, and believe it will prove an excellent closet companion for those who will faithfully use it."—Christian Register.

THE WORDS OF CHRIST; from the New Testament. 16mo. pp. 150. Price, 50 cents.

"The compiler has most happily collected the words of Christ, so that, by the slightest reference possible to the tables, every text is ascertained under the several heads. It will prove very beneficial to the Biblical scholar, clergyman, and Sunday-school teacher."—Christian World.

"These topics Mr. Burnap treats with a freshness of thought which will render the volume acceptable to those who have a taste for reading of this sort, while its general merits place it in the class of works one would wish to see extensively circulated among those who think that Unitarianism has nothing to stand upon, or that it is a doctrine full of impiety."—Christian Examiner.

THE MISCELLANEOUS WRITINGS OF F.W.P. GREENWOOD, D.D. 12mo. pp. 400. Price, $1.00.

"It is a profitable book for any one to read,—partly because it communicates information and offers instruction, but chiefly because its moral tone is of the healthiest kind."—Christian Examiner.

CHRISTIAN HYMNS FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE WORSHIP. A Collection compiled by a Committee of the Cheshire Pastoral Association. Twenty-eighth Edition. 18mo. pp. 562. Price, 50 cents.

Although this book has been published but four years, it is now used in forty societies, and this fact is considered sufficient to show the estimation in which it is held, and the manner in which it has stood the test of comparison with other collections.

The following are some of the peculiar merits of the Christian Hymns:—the number of hymns is very large; the variety of subjects and metres is very great; the hymns are better adapted for singing; the plan of arrangement is improved; and the price is very low.
