THE GOSPEL ATTEIBUTED TO JHATTHKW 18 THE

RECORD OF THE WHOLE ORIGINAL APOSTLEHOOD.

By James Sheridan Knowles. Fcap. 8vo., cloth. Price 2s. 6d.

" The author has shown considerable skill in attempting to prove the proposition lie uses as a title to his hook. The hook demands attention, and will well repay perusal." — Local Preachers' Magazine.

"This little book bears ample testimony to the fertility and vigour of the author's inventive powers. This volume is well worth reading." — Freeman.

" Mr. Sheridan Knowles has shown himself to he a profoundly sincere and rarely courageous Christian man.'' — Nonconformist.

THE EAMILY COMMENTARY : or, The New Testament, with Notes adapted to the use of Family Worship, and made into Short Readings. By the Rev. T. Raven, M.A., author of " A Monthly Series of Family Prayers." Crown 8 vo., cloth. 7s. 6d.

'"These notes are all written in a very judicious and pious spirit. They are so brief, and yet so forcible and pertinent, as to convey a good impression." — The Clerical ■Journal.

" We deem this entitled to the first place for domestic uses. The si2e is every' way convenient ; the type large and excellent ; the divisions generally appropriate ; the subjoined observations suitable, terse, racy, spiritual, and practical. As there is nothing in the book sectarian, it will be alike available in families throughout every section of the Church of God." — British Banner.

" Exceedingly instructive and edifying, this Family Commentary may be classed among the best productions of the kind."~Methodist.

" The design is good, and the spirit of its execution is intelligent and evangelical." — Nonconformist.

" Our author appears to have travelled over the field of dogmatic theology, and to have wisely given us the results of extensive reading and independent inquiry, without troubling the reader with what to many minds would be the embarrassments of -polemical discussion. It would not be easy, nor is it necessary, in a brief notice of a work of this kind, to give specimens of its style and cast of thought without danger of doing injustice to the general tone and scope of the Commentary ; we shall therefore foroear to make extracts from a book which may so profitably become one of daily study." — Preston Filot.

ART AND FAITH; or, the Harmony of Science and

Scripture. By George Troup. Fcap. 8vo., cloth. Eight beautiful Illustrations. Price 4s. 6d. ; gilt edges, 5s.

"The fluency and elegance of Mr. Troup's language discover the ready pen of a practised "writer, and the freshness which he imparts to -whatever he touches betokens a faculty of contemplating objects from points of view different from those which custom recognises." — Scottish Guardian.

" There is much correct and vigorous thinking in the book." — Glasgow Examiner

" The execution shows a large amount of miscellaneous knowledge and a pleasant

style of writing. We have pleasure in assuring our artizans and our inquiring youth

that they will find in these chapters much to interest them, and to stimulate very

profitable research," — Methodist.

" We had heard a good deal of this book before it reached us, and we are nowpleased to find that the reports of its excellence have not been exaggerated. The book is a rich contribution to the literature of commerce) natural history, and intellect." — Christian Witness.

•'The work displays literary merit, whilst it is decidedly evangelical in its tone and sentiment. Its pages will afford instruction to all. — Newcastle Guardian,

"This volume ia a remarkable one : seeds, flowers, weeds, insects, minerals, rocks, gems, stones — the most highly prized as well as the least valued of manufacture — furnish him with subjects of profitable comparison, and texts from which he preaches the most impressive sermons- We can honestly recommend it to all who can appreciate the teachings of Christian philosophy and enlightened piety." — Norfolk Newt*

" It cannot but be productive of great good. A very lively, readable story." — Fretman.

KITTY LAMERE; or, a Dark Page in London Life. By Augustus Mayhew. Illustrated. Price Is. 6d.

"The writer possesses power, and a considerable amount of curious and quiet humour, which, combined, give a pleasant tone to the little book. The descriptions of various portions of London, particularly of Spitalfields, in which locality the venue of 'ie story is laid, are particularly good. We cordially recommend the little book as having a very excellent aim, aud as being in its execution very far in advance of many of the works of its c'ass and price." — Illustrated Magazine.

"The author depicts powerfully, scenes which are a disgrace to our boasted civilization."— Civil Service Gazette.

" Few understand the mysteries of London life so well as the Mayhews. This is a touching tale ; iis truthfulness we have tested by reference to a city missionary, who vouches for the general correctness of the descriptions." — Freeman.

STANHOPE BURLEIGH ; or, the Jesuits in our Homes. By Helen Dhu. Price Is. 61.

" A romantic tale. The volume embodies the secret instructions of the Jesuits : and if the document is authentic, the author has rendered an important service." — Scottish Guard-on.

" We have here a remarkable story ; fact represented by fiction, and the most extraordinary conception for the enthralling of the human mind, by an association unrivalled for its organization, and audacious from the absence of every moral sentiment, that waa ever propagated by man, illustrated and developed with an ability that stamps its almost incredible incidents as mere matters of course. The cool, murderous machinations of the Jesuits are elaborated with a strength derived from the racy s-implicity of the narrative, and the whole possesses an attraction which cannot be resisted, while thn moral and lesson of the work are so obvious as a warning, that they cannot for a moment be mistaken." — Dispatch.

" The adventures and misfortunes of Tom Thornton, a proud, but not altogether a bad sort of fellow, are detailed in these volumes very cleverly ; it is neither tedious nor twaddling." — Field.

The FINANCIER LAW, his SCHEME and TIMES : A

graphic description of the Origin, Maturity, and Wreck of the Mississippi Scheme. Fcap. 8vo., cloth, 3s. Gd.

contents : — Before the Scheme.

Law.

The Bank.

The Scheme.

The Golden Age.

Disenchantment.

Fall of the Scheme.

After the Scheme.

"The Author has gathered hi? materials from sources so numerous, both from partisans and from opponents, that his sketch of Law and his times may be relied on more safely than works of far greater pretensions. It is certain that Law had a distinct perception of the three most fertile sources of a nation's commercial greatness, maritime commerce, credit, and the spirit of association. M. Cochut has given us the rise and progress, the decline and fall, of the Mississippi scheme in terse and graphic language, and has, throughout his brief narrative, endeavoured to be strictly impartial." — Wesleyan Times.

" The volume is very amusing and attractive, full of the most wonderful delusions — proving onc#'more the truth of the adage, that truth is stranger than fiction. Law wus^ great man, a genius ; and those who reckon him among the Hudsons or the Sadlens of the day, betray their ignorance of history and monetary economy." — The Atlas.

" We believe that there are but few persons who are the least conversant with histoiy, especially that of France, but possess some knowledge of the celebrated Mississippi scheme, concocted by John Law, a Scotchman, by which some hundreds of persons, possibly thousands, of all ranks of society were ruined, and great was the number of unhappy individuals who committed, in consequence, suicide. In the volume before us we have a well-condensed detail of the whole nefarious transaction from beginning to end, by Moris. Cochut, who tells us that, from numerous authorities whom he mentions, and some we have alieady alluded to, the result is at least piecisive as to economical facts and great picture of events. Some few persons were raised to affluence beyond all conception : and, were it not that the evidence is so strong, we should almost doubt the truth of the statements mentioned by our author ; the splendour of modern royal dwellings and banquets even of ancient Home, are nothing in comparison to some of these at the period we allude. Law, Tor the time, was almost a species of deity, and as such he was worshipped as the (iod of Mammon. But the scheme which had caused all this burst, and great was the misery produced throughout the whole of France. We could have wished to quote the different particulars of the Mississippi scheme, and the companies, the banks, the stock-jobbing transactions, &c., connected with it, but pur limits forbid it." — Sunday Times.

" The range of authorities is wide, and presents the financial ideas of Law from many opposite points of view. The story appears to have been industriously put together, and the style is uncommonly picturesque. Not a paragraph is dull; the anecdotes arc abundant and cleverly arranged ; and the description of the origin, maturity, and wreck of the Mississippi scheme i«, as M. Cochut, or his translator, pleasantly says it is, ' graphic' The company, soberly created, became the property of desperadoes, money was carried away in countless millions, lands and houses were purchased at unheard-of prices, and Law, as Com troller-Geneial of Finance, had to contend against jealousy, insanity, and confusion in the publis mind." — Leader.

PERIPATETIC PAPERS; being a Volume of Miscellanies. By the Members of a Literary Society. Edited by John M'Gilchrist, author of "A History of the Turks." Crown 8vo., cloth. Price, 7 s. lid.

"The papers which compose this Volume are the work of fifteen different individuals. Some of them are, in various degrees, connected with literary pursuits, but none of them professionally, not by Academics in Academic seclusion, away fr m the world's bustle and turmoil, but by men who snatched an occasional half hour from the time which remained after their regular day's work— after hours of commercial correspondence, medical piactice, making of wills, arranging state papers, or adding dreai y columns of imports and exports, that they were written, not in the quiet study of the man of letters, but at the fireside of the general family ) oom." — Preface.

WEEDS from the ISIS : A Miscellany of Prose and Terse. By a few Oxonians ; edited by Vaughan Dayrell. With a Frontispiece by G. L. Hall. Fcap., cloth, price 3s. 6'd. "Contains many sketches of considerable merit, lively, humourous, and apparently thrown off without effort." — Civil Service Gazette.

HISTORY of the TURKS from the EARLIEST PERIOD to the PRESENT TIME ; including the Siege of Sebastopol and the War in Asia. By J. M'Gilchrist. Illustrated. Fcap. 8vo., cloth 3s. 6d. ; gilt edges, 4s.

" The care and research which have been bestowed upon it, the ability and conciseness with which the devious course of Turkish history has been traced, and the elegant and nervous style in which it is wriiten, render it a work of permanent interest and value. There is a considerable degree of conciseness and power in Mr. M'Gil-

christ's rapid descriptions, in which he seems somewhat to take after Mr. Macaulay." — Literary Spectator.

" This is a neatly executed compilation. Mr. M'Gilchrist tells his story with energy, and prophesies for the Ottoman empire a happy era of peace." — The Athctueum.

" in the execution of this design he bus been quite successful, and has produced just such a book as may be expected to be popular. The decay of the Byzantine empire, and the rapid rise of the Turkish power, the brilliant series of conquests by which the early sultans established that po« er in Europe, and all the more important events in the subsequent history of the Ottoman empire, are sketched in a correct as well as a lively style. As an historical abridgment, a popular history of Turkey and the Turks, it is worthy of commendation, and will, no doubt, be received by the public us it deserves to be." — Scottish Press.

" The present is an eminently seasonable volume. We have many histories of Turkey, of various magnitudes, but even the least is too large for popular purposes. The present volume, however, eveiy way meets the case. There is little that Englishmen are concerned' to know whieh it does not tell them. It is the most compact, complete, and comprehensive narrative of the great subject that has yet been given. Th« illustrations, too, are well done, and add considerably to the interest of the work." — British Banner

" This volume gives a copious but concise history of them from the latest times to the conclusion of the late Russian war. It would be found very suitable to those who desiie a btief statement of interesting facts, along with an outline of the various wars in which Turkey has played an active part, and a general estimate ot the position which it has held amongst European nations. The style is clear, the faets systematically arranged, and the general execution of the book tasteful. "We could not reeommend a better and more convenient compendium of Turkish history." — Montrose, Arbroath, and Brechin Review.

" It is an intelligent epitome of the most interesting events of Turkish history, from the decay of the Inzantine empire to the fall of Kars. As a school book, it is preferable to any irregular abridgment of Von Hammer." — Leader.

"The auilmrsavs thai his design has been to give compendious information on the leading events which have characterised the history of the Turkish race, especially those hy which they have been connected with the nations of Christian Europe, and at the same lime to ailetnpt to produce a readable book; and in this design he has been successful. The book is eminently readable, the narrative rapid, succinct, and clear, and the interest never flags. It should be added ihat the work is handsomely got up, and adorned with several well-executed engravings."

WILD ADVENTURES IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW SOUTH WALES, Beyond the Boundaries, with Sketches of Life at the Mining Districts. By Frederic De Brebant Cooper. Crown 8vo., cloth, price 3s. 6d.

" In the many works upon Australia that have been produced, few seem to touch upon the far north, and none give an idea even partial and indistinct of the actual life upon the interior boundaries of the Colony, where the advancing wave of civilization' is gradually but surely driving back, step by step, the Aborig nes, who, there at least, uncontaminated by long contact with the whites, are not the spiritless, crushed beings, that may he supposed from the descriptions that have hitherto been drawn of the natives." — Pre/are.

" These adventures are narrated in a very graphic and spirited manner ; the author's perils begin almost directly, for he is shipwrecked off the Australian coast, and has to swim for his life, he is saved, however, and makes his way into the interior, of which he gives a faithful but certainly not a very tempting description. The book has its merits. — British Banner.

NEW AND BEAUTIFULLY o

THE SEASONS, AND CASTLE OF INDOLENCE. By

James Thomson, with Life by George Gii.fillan. Profusely Illustrated by Harrison Weir, Taylor, Dodgson, Horsley, etc., etc., and superbly bound, small 4to, 18s.

" Few poets, on the whole, haveltad a life more enviable, in a secular point of view, than the author of ' The Seasons.' He had most of the merits, with comparatively few of the faults of genius. His fame was speedily established, and his fortune, too, secured more rapidly than was, or is still, common with literary men. He lias been, and is likely to remain, one of the most popular of poets. He has appealed directly to that broad, deep love of nature which beau in the human breast, and ide, tilled his lame with the sights and sounds of the material universe, — with rising and netting suns, with seedtime and harvest, summer and winter, — and whil* these remain, Thomson's poetry must. His poem stands up before us, a great picture of nature, and were the universe to perish, and did it survive in another sphere, it would give some idea of its original.

" Thomson does not seem to have gone into the fields elaborately to cull images, or to observe objects with a minute and botanical eye, but as he sat carelessly on the ttile, or lay dissolved in luxurious semi-sleep under the mid-day shade, Nature came and painted itself on his favoured eye. Hence his descriptions excel as much in ilaguenotypic accuracy as in bold force." — Rev. Georr/e Giifillan.
