Mr. Mueller, as a faithful steward, renders an annual account of all the sums intrusted to him. Appended (p. 476) is the "Auditor's Report" for 1859-60, showing the total amount in hand for the year, including the building fund, to have been L72,188, 16s. 53/4d.—almost three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Mr. M. says:—
The audited accounts, together with the books containing the income and expenses, may be inspected by the donors. I particularly state this, because I do not publish a list of the donors, nor do I mention their names otherwise, in order that there may not be held out the least temptation of giving for the sake of worldly applause; but, at the same time, as I do this work in the light, it can bear the light, and therefore any donor can satisfy himself, if he please, that his donation is accounted for.
To avoid mistakes, delays, and other difficulties, I would request that all letters for me should be directed to my house, No. 21, Paul Street, Kingsdown, Bristol.

PUBLISHED BY
GOULD AND LINCOLN,
59 WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON.
THE CHRISTIAN LIFE; SOCIAL AND INDIVIDUAL. By PETER BAYNE, M. A. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.
There is but one voice respecting this extraordinary book,—men of all denominations, in all quarters, agree in pronouncing it one of the most admirable works of the age.
MODERN ATHEISM; Under its forms of Pantheism, Materialism, Secularism, Development, and Natural Laws. By JAMES BUCHANAN, D. D., L. L. D. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

NEW ENGLAND THEOCRACY. From the German of Uhden's History of the Congregationalists of New England, with an INTRODUCTION BY NEANDER. By MRS. H. C. CONANT, author of "The English Bible," etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
A work of rare ability and interest, presenting the early religious and ecclesiastical history of New England, from authentic sources, with singular impartiality. The author evidently aimed throughout to do exact justice to the dominant party, and all their opponents of every name. The standpoint from which the whole subject is viewed is novel, and we have in this volume a new and most important contribution to Puritan History.
THE MISSION OF THE COMFORTER; with copious Notes. By JULIUS CHARLES HARE. With the Notes translated for the AMERICAN EDITION. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.
THE BETTER LAND; or, The Believer's Journey and Future Home. By the Rev. A. C. THOMPSON. 12mo, cloth, 85 cts.

"'Christ, and Him crucified' is presented in a new, striking, and matter-of-fact light. The style is simple, without being puerile, and the reasoning is of that truthful, persuasive kind that 'comes from the heart, and reaches the heart.'"—N. Y. Observer.
VALUABLE WORKS.
THE PURITANS; or the Court, Church, and Parliament of England, during the reigns of Edward VI. and Elizabeth. By SAMUEL HOPKINS, author of "Lessons at the Cross," etc. In 3 vols. Vol. I. now ready. Octavo, cloth, per vol., $2.50.
VOL. II. READY IN FEBRUARY, " " " " $2.50.
It will be found the most interesting and reliable History of the Puritans yet published, narrating in a dramatic style many facts hitherto unknown.
LIMITS OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT EXAMINED, in Eight Lectures delivered in the Oxford University Pulpit, in the year 1858, on the "Bampton Foundation." By Rev. H. LONGUEVILLE MANSEL, B. D., Reader in Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford, and Editor of Sir William Hamilton's Lectures. With the Copious NOTES TRANSLATED for the American Ed. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
This volume is destined to create a profounder sensation in this country than any philosophical or religious work of this century. It is a defence of revealed religion, equal in ability to the "Analogy" of Bishop Butler, and meets the scepticism of our age as effectually as that great work in an earlier day. The Pantheism and Parkerism infused into our popular literature will here find an antidote. The Lectures excited the highest enthusiasm at Oxford, and the Volume has already reached a third edition in England. The copious "Notes" of the author having been translated for the American edition by an accomplished scholar, adds greatly to its value.
THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCES OF THE TRUTH OF THE SCRIPTURE RECORDS, STATED ANEW, with Special Reference to the Doubts and Discoveries of Modern Times. In Eight Lectures, delivered in the Oxford University pulpit, at the Bampton Lecture for 1859. By GEO. RAWLINSON, M.A., Editor of the Histories of Herodotus. With the Copious NOTES TRANSLATED for the American Edition by an accomplished scholar. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON'S LECTURES ON LOGIC. With Notes from Original Materials, and an Appendix containing the Latest Development of his New Logical Theory. Edited by Prof. H. LONGUEVILLE MANSEL, Oxford, and JOHN VEITCH, M. A., Edinburgh. Royal octavo, cloth, $3.00. (In press.)
MORAL PHILOSOPHY, including Theoretical and Practical Ethics. By JOSEPH HAVEN, D. D., late Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy in Amherst College; author of "Mental Philosophy." Royal 12mo, cloth, embossed, $1.25.
It is eminently scientific in method, and thorough in discussion, and its views on unsettled questions in morals are discriminating and sound. It treats largely of Political Ethics—a department of morals of great importance to American youth, but generally overlooked in text-books. In the history of ethical opinions it is unusually rich and elaborate.
POPULAR GEOLOGY; With Descriptive Sketches from a Geologist's Portfolio. By Hugh Miller. With a Resume of the Progress of Geological Science during the last two years. By MRS. MILLER. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.
This work is likely to prove the most popular of Hugh Miller's writings, and to attain the widest circulation. It is written in his best style, and makes the mysteries of Geology intelligible to the common mind. As an architect explains the structure of a house from cellar to attic, so this accomplished geologist takes the globe to pieces, and explains the manner in which all its strata have been formed, from the granite foundation to the alluvial surface. It supplies just the information which many readers have been longing for, but unable to find. Also,

APOLLOS; or, Directions to Persons just commencing a Religious Life. 32 mo, paper covers, cheap, for distribution, per hundred, $6.00.
THE HARVEST AND THE REAPERS. Home Work for All, and how to do it. By Rev. HARVEY NEWCOMB. 16 mo, cloth, 63 cts.
This work is dedicated to the converts of 1858. It shows what may be done, by showing what has been done. It shows how much there is now to be done at home. It shows how to do it. Every man interested in the work of saving men, every professing Christian, will find this work to be for him.

THE CHURCH IN EARNEST. By Rev. JOHN A. JAMES. 18 mo, cloth, 40 cts.
"Its arguments and appeals are well adapted to prompt to action, and the times demand such a book. We trust it will be universally read."—N. Y. Observer.
"Those who have the means should purchase a number of copies of this work, and lend them to church-members, and keep them in circulation till they are worn out!"—Mothers' Assistant.
CHRISTIAN PROGRESS. A Sequel to the Anxious Inquirer. By JOHN ANGELL JAMES. 18 mo, cloth, 31 cts.
[pointing finger graphic] One of the best and most useful works of this popular author.
"It ought to be sold by hundreds of thousands, until every church-member in the land has bought, read, marked, learned, and inwardly digested a copy."—Congregationalist.
"So eminently is it adapted to do good, that we feel no surprise that it should make one of the publishers' excellent publications. It exhibits the whole subject of growth in grace with great simplicity and clearness."—Puritan Recorder.
