MENTAL PHILOSOPHY;

INCLUDING THE INTELLECT, THE SENSIBILITIES, AND THE WILL. BY JOSEPH HAVEN, PROFESSOR OF INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL PHILOSOPHY, AMHERST COLLEGE. Royal 12mo, cloth, $1.50.

The need of a new text-book on Mental Philosophy has long been felt and acknowledged by emiBent teachers in this department. While many of the books in use are admitted to possess great merits in some respects, none has been found altogether satisfactory AS A TEXT-BOOK. The author of this work, having learned by his own experience as a teacher of the science in one of our most flourishing colleges what was most to be desired, has here undertaken to supply the want. How far he has succeeded, those occupying similar educational positions are best fitted to judge. In now submitting the work to their candid judgment, and to that of the public at large, particular attention is invited to the following characteristics, by which it is believed to be pre-eminently distinguished. 1. The COMPLETENESS with which it presents the whole subject. Some text-books treat of only one class of faculties, the Intellect, for example, omitting the Sensibilities and the Will. This work includes the whole. The author knows of no reason why Moral Philsophy should not treat of the WHOLE mind in all its faculties.

2. It is strictly and thoroughly SCEINTIFIC. The author has aimed to make a science of the mind, not merely a series ef essays on certain faculties, like those of Stewart and Reid.

3. It presents a careful ANALYSIS of the mind as a whole, with a view to ascertain its several faculties. This point, which has been greatly overlooked by writers on mental science, Prof. Haven has made a speciality. It has cost him immense study to satisfy himself in obtaining a true result.

4. The HISTORY AND LITERATURE of each topic are made the subject of special attention. While some treatises are wholly deficient in this respect, others, as that of Stewart, so intermingle literary and critical disquisition, as seriously to interfere with the scientific statement of the topic in hand. Prof. Haven, on the contrary, has traced the history of each important branch of the science, and thrown the result into a separate section at the close. This feature is regarded as wholly original. 5. It presents the LATEST RESULTS of the science, especially the discoveries of Sir William Hamilton in relation to the doctrines of Perception and of Logic. On both of these subjects the work is Hamiltonian. The value of this feature will best be estimated by those who know how difficult of access the Hamiltonian philosophy has hitherto been. No American writer before Prof. Haven has presented any adequate or just account of Sir William's theory of perception and of reasoning.

6. The author has aimed to present the subject in an ATTRACTIVE STYLE, consistently with a thorough scientific treatment. He has proceeded on the ground that a due combination of the POETIC element with the scientific would effect a great improvement in philosophic composition. Perspicuity and precision, at least, will be found to be marked features of his style.

7. The author has studied CONDENSATION. Some of the works in use are exceedingly diffuse. Prof. Haven has compressed into one volume what by other writers has been spread over three or four. Both the pecuniary and the intellectual advantages of this condensation are obvious.

Prof. Park, of Andover, having examined a large portion of the work in manuscript, says, "It is DISTINGUISHED for its clearness of style, perspicuity of method, candor of spirit, acumen and comprehensiveness of thought. I have been heartily interested in it."

THE WITNESS OF GOD; or The Natural Evidence of His Being and Perfections, as the Creator and Governor of the World, and the presumptions which it affords in favor of a Supernatural Revelation of His Will. By JAMES BUCHANAN, D. D., LL.D., Divinity Professor in the New College, Edinburgh; author of "Modern Atheism," etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.25. In press.

GOTTHOLD'S EMBLEMS; or, Invisible things understood by things that are made. BY CHRISTIAN SCRIVER, Minister of Magdeburg in 1671. Translated from the twenty-eighth German edition, by the Rev. ROBERT MENZIES. 12mo, cloth. In press.

THE EXTENT OF THE ATONEMENT in its Relations to God and the Universe. By THOMAS W. JENKYN, D. D. 12mo, cloth, 85 cts. In press. The calls for this most important and popular work, which for some time past has been out of print in this country, — have been frequent and urgent. The publishers, therefore, are happy in being able to issue the work THOROUGHLY REVISED BY THE AUTHOR, EXPRESSLY FOR THE AMERICAN EDITION.
