Seventh Edition. 3d. XXIX. ON THE A CATECHISM MENT. Fifth Edition. Fourpence. XXX. Principal Facts and Dates of the Old carnation, embodied in Short Mnemonic Sen- "The bare record of the transactions and events in Holy Writ cannot impart half the interest to the mind which is felt when they are linked in a continuous chronological chain and the date assigned to each. But to imprint these dates on the memory is a matter of still greater gratification and utility, and the invention of any simple device by which this may be accomplished will be hailed by the student of the Holy Volume with intense delight. Such is the ingenious plan submitted in this little treatise, which would enable even a child of the most tender years to treasure in the stores of his memory the date of every incident of importance throughout the sacred records, and that by a process not merely simple, but in the highest degree pleasing to his imagination." Bath Herald. "A very sensible and ingenious little volume, developing a simple and ingenious plan, by which the dates of scriptural events may be easily treasured up in the memory. It is enough to say that it is recommended by the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, the eminent Professor of History in University College."-Revivalist. TH HEOLOGY FOR YOUTH. A System written expressly for BIBLE CLASSES, the HIGHER ORDERS of SUNDAY SCHOOLS, and the ELDER BRANCHES of FAMILIES. Fourth Edition. Is. 6d.

I receive it as a treasure for my children, and shall recommend it to the instructors of youth with whom I have any intercourse."-Rev. Dr. Halley, Highbury College. Though late, and almost needless, in consequence of the celebrity of this catechism, we wish to bear our testimony with that of our contemporaries, to the excellence of this compendium of doctrinal, experimental, and practical Theology."-Congregational Magazine. ON THE FACTS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT. Sixth Edition. Fourpence. "We cordially recommend these Catechisms, as admirably adapted for the instruction and improvement of the young. The matter, the style, and the arrangement, are all calculated to interest and impress the minds of children. We think few parents and teachers can make use of these little works without being sensible of their obligations to the author for the facilities which he has afforded them in communicating religious instruction."-Dr. Pye Smith, Dr. Henderson, Dr. Halley, Dr. Hoppus, and Professor Morell. THE XXXI. MARROW OF MODERN HYMN-BOOKS, FOR THE USE OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS, &c. Sixth Edition. Fourpence. "The claims of this little work rest on its comprehensiveness, variety, and systematic order, and on its unprece dented cheapness It contains two hundred and ten Hymns, comprising the whole of Watts's for Children, with nearly all that was considered superlatively excellent. and especially appropriate, in previous publications: to which are added, one large section for Bible Classes, and another for Teachers' Meetings. Its cost is only about a seventh part of the combined expense of Sunday School Collections generally, and of those used by Teachers, while it affords a measure of utility equal to both of them unired. "We like the book exceedingly, and wish it extensive circulation."-Congregational Magazine. THE XXXII. HE COMPREHENSIVE HYMN-BOOK. One Thousand Hymns, original and selected. Second Edition. Three Shillings. "Whether we look at the quality of the Hymns, the immense number and variety of the selection, or the admirable contents, index of texts, and general lists of subjects, we cannot but award to this volume the highest place of any work of its kind that has yet met our eye. This may seem extravagant praise, but we challenge investigation of the opinion thus deliberately given, and assure ourselves, that those who will take the trouble of examining for themselves will not hesitate to fall in with our conclusion. The utmost pains must have been bestowed by Mr. Campbell on every department of the 'Comprehensive Hymn Book."-Evangelical Magazine. |
