gtriturs cabit GETBRIE ON THE PARABLES. .I.‘HE PARABLES READ IN THE LIGHT OF THE PRESENT DAY. By-Thomas Guthrie, D. D. Author of " The Gospel in Ezekiel," "Way to Life," " Speaking to the Heart," etc. New York : Carter (4:, Brothers. 12 ruo. pp. 278, bevelled edges, gilt top. For sale at the Presbyterian Book Store. Dr. Guthrie is himself a fine example .of a graphic, illustrative writer, and finds a most congenial subject in the parables of our Lord. He does not at tempt the scholar's part. in treating them, but seizing boldly upon their great les sons, with all that affluent style and that irresistible earnestness which are 'well knoirn characteristics of his writing, he applies them to the men of our times and the actual living interests of the day. Dr. Guthrie follows the example of the GazAr TEAcumt, as every preach er should, of preaching to the times. And these wonderful parables prove their high origin from their adaptedness, not only to the farmers, the fishermen, the mdrchants, and the men, women and children of our Saviour's age and coun try, but equally to all classes and con ditions in every age and country, in short to our common humanity. The parables , on which Dr. Guthrie has thrown the blended l or-mucturn.- times and of his own genius are those of the Leaven, The Two Virgins, Prodigal Son, Good Samaritan, Unjust Judge, Pharisee and Publican, Hid Treasure, Pearl of Great Price, Lost Piece of Money, Sower, Unmerciful Servant, Laborers in the Vineyard. The externals of the book are exceed ingly attractive, paper, type and bind ing bordering on the luxurious; but the wood cuts are scarcely less than dis graceful, especially amid so much typo graphical excellence. They should cer tainly be omitted in future editions. MEREDITH. The Apple of Life, by Owen Meredith, author of "Lucile," &c. Bos ton: Ticknor & Fields. Square 16mo, pa per, pp. 35. A poem in the long versed anapestic measure in which poets love to display their rhythmic prowess, but which it is hard to make mellifluous and managea ble to readers generally. The poem is didactic in character, though the inci dents are graphically told and relieve the performance of all drynetm Solomon, in response to his complaißof the brevity of human life, and tonsequent vanity of all earthly things, receives the gift of the apple of life, which, upon reflection, nei ther he, nor the Shulamite, nor the courtier Azariah, nor the Egyptian har lot, into whose hands successively the gift comes, thinks best to partike of, and the rejected apple comes back to Solomon himself, who appreciates the lesson taught by the incident : " Life is good, but not life in itself." CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT. NEWTON. Bible Blessings, by Rev. Richard Newton, D.D. New tork__- IL Carter & Bro.'s. 16mo. pp. 318. For sale at the Presbyterian House. One of the; most genial, kind-hearted, loving, and loveable of teachers of the young in the great truths of Christianity is the author of this volume, made up of sermons to the highly privileged young of his frock. The stream of illustrations seems inexhaustible ; things new and old yield material to enforce the simple and yet grand truths of the Gospel. And yet the truth itself is not put out of sight, or the high aim of the preacher sacri ficed to mere amusement. The effect of the whole is to win the youthful mind to the path of duty, and to vindicate the Scripture declaration that wisdom's ways are pleasantness and her paths peace. Dr. Newton has taken care to verify his very impressive story of the Quaker con script in the rebel army, page 231. SEWELL. The Lost Child, a Ballad of Bog , lish Life ; and the Romance of the Mallee Scrub, by Mrs. Sewell, author of "Moth er's Last . Words," &c. New York : R. Carter & Bro.'s. 16 mo., pp. 108. The sad story at the commencement of the volume seems scarcely appropri ate for a " Fireside Library," though delicately narrated. " The Romance of the Mallee Scrub" is a well known and welcome versification of a thrilling story. EYSTER. Sunny Hours ; or, Child Life of Tom and Mary. By Nellie Eyster.

Messrs. A. &E. have done their part well in the externals of the work. The illustrations are well executed. 'TIM MARTYRS OF THE CATACOMBS : A Tale of Ancient Rome. Illustrated.

These are practical works, generally of high character, close, earnest, and thoughtful. The Calvinistic tone of the first and third volumes is guarded against by the insertion of notes and sentences in brackets, where the doctrines of per severance and of the power of remain ing sin in the believer are too strongly put for our Arminian brethren. Bad as this practice is, it is much more honorable than the silent suppression of an author's opinions, with which other publishers have been chargeable. The four volumes, 16m0., are elegantly printed on heavy tinted paper, bound uniformly in extra cloth and enclosed in a neat case. Published by Carlton & Porter. For sale by Perkenpine & Higgins.

Gillett's History of Presbyterianism the Nottingham Sermon. The follow ing correspondence explains itself :-- PHILADiLPHIA., October 2, 1865 " EDITOR AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN: —Dear Sir :—I have lately been read ing with great interest, and with a grati- , fication, at once peculiar and appropri ate in a young Presbyterian, Gillett's History of the . Presbyterian Church' It must strike even the cursory reader, that the amount of labor necessary to the collection of such disconnected mate rial was most stupendous. Yet we know how bravely and well the author has met most of this. Every church member should read the work—mainly of course, with a view to inform him Self of the early history of the Church of his adoption, but further than this, with a certainty of obtaining very much of local historical information, which has escaped the notice of the more general historian of the republic. " In reading the History I met, with frequent mention of a 'Nottingham Ser mon' preached by Gilbert Tennent, dur ing the early history of the Church in this country, and just about the time of the division of the Synod of Philadel phia, and which afterwards gave the author of it great embarrassment while on a mission to England. I felt a desire to know more of this rather remarkable man (Tennent), and of his obnoxious sermon,' and therefore, addressed a short note to Dr. Gillett. It occurs to me that others might profit in their reading of the work in question by the references set forth in Dr. Gillett's reply, which I enclose. I am well aware that the author, in his preface, gives many "of the sources from which he drew historic facts, yet these more special references may be an important aid to the reader of his valuable Church History. " Yours, CLINTON STREET." "MY DEAR SIR:-I regret that I can not refer you to any easily accessible ac count of the Nottingham Sermon.' The sermon, itself, is in the Sprague collec tion of the Princeton Theological Semi nary. Dr Chauncey's book on the Re vival in the Times of Whitfield, gives specimens of the Most obnoxious pass ages. Tracy's History of the Great Revival,' if I recollect right, has some account of it In Dr. Hodge's History of the Presbyterian Church,' 11. 126, you will find an abstract that will give a pretty good idea of the discourse. " Dr. Alexander's Log College,' has quite a full account of the Tennents. See, also, Sprague's Annals,' and Web ster's History of the Presbyterian Church.' " Of the effect of it in England, and Tennent's regret for having published it, you will find something in the report of the mison of Davis and Tennent to England, contained in Foote's Sketches of Virginia.' I presume, by further ex amination. I could mention other sources of information, but I doubt whether any of them would be so easily accescublo ladmaryerreurtts-th--toiy- -- o allow me to be fuller onm ll.. G many points. " Yours truly, B. ANNOUNCEMENTS AND LATE ISSUES.- Messrs. G. & C. Merriam announce a fine edition, on large paper, of the recent edition of Webster's Dictionary, to be sold to sub scribers only. It is to be printed on fine paper; the size of the untrimmed page, 10 by 15 inches, and in the best style of the Riverside Press.

It is certainly an honor to our country that Mr. Tennyson's American representatives should be the first to plan and execute a complete illustrated copy of his works (not even attempted in England.")—A new novel by Mrs. M.

FOREIGN BOOK TRADE IN AMERICA.- Favored by the enormously high prices of paper and labor here, and by the compara tively low price of gold—which is about the cheapest of all merchantable articles in this country—the dealers in foreiom books are crowding into our markets and underselling our publishers in such works as are not co pyrighted here, and are issued in sufficient numbers to allow of cheapening. Messrs. A. Strahan & Sons, well-known publishers of London, have recently opened anlestab lishment in New York, and advertise over seventy different publications at reasonable prices. The list includes such books as " A Summer in Skye," " Studies for Sto ries," " Guthrie on the Parables," "Vi pet's Outlines of Theology and Philosophy," "Praying and Working," "Near and Hea venly Horizons," The " Country Parson's" various volumes, Ed. Irving's writings, five vols., &c. R. H.

Routledge and Sons have a store in New York for the sale of their well known Toy books, edition of Shakespeare, etc. T. Nel son & Sons offer Oxford Bibles, and Charles Scribner & Co. offer ten "superb ly illustrated English Books for the Holi days," with others to come. Thub the ex ceedingly anomalous condition of our com mercial and financial affairs presents an opportunity for foreign enterprise among us, which even the high tariff cannot quite exclude. BETTER THAN A BAR.—The " What Cheer House," an hotel in San ~Francisco, advertises among other attractions,, that it offers for the use of its inmates " a well selected library of 5000 volumes." LIBRARY OF PETER FORCE—A move ment is on foot in New York, under the auspices of the N. Y. Historical Society, for' securing to that city the library and historical collections belongin g to Peter Force, of Washington. It is drificult, says th e Notion, to give even an idea of Mr. Force's vast library. The choicest articles of bibliomaniacal pursuit, the early tracts, travels, and narratives connected with the discovery and settlement of America, "now cheaply purchased for their weight in gold," are abundantly represented in the collec tion; but, in addition, it contains, what is never found on the shelves of the dilettante book buyer, the solid material from which history is evolved—laws, reports, surveys, maps, legislative documents, periodical litature, and newspapers (the largest col lee on in the country,) etc., etc., the fitting furniture for a public library, where the enquirer might dig and dig without fear of exhausting the rich historical placer. 4:tirie ideq of the money value of such a library mal be formed from the fact that one hun drefl thousand dollars in gold -has been offer ed Ifor it as a money -making speculation. Mni For`pe did very great service to the country in the conception and execution of the grtt collection,' published by the auihorit of Congress, "American Ar chivestconsisting of authentic records, Stafe rapers debates andietterA notibes of the orin' es, ofthec Revolution, nauses d° Constitu tion of gbvernment for to the final ratification thereof," ; —in fifteen ofthe ment of American the United the States Ip a Z I m volumes folio.

Professor i\icCosh, of Belfast, is about issuing an Ex amination of Mill's System. Mill is soon to publisft "Auguste Comte and his posi tivism." Mr. James H.

Pauthier, the celebrated Orien tal and Chinese scholar. It is curious that this should yet remain to be done for a book that has passed through silty editions in the various languages of Europe, from 1496 to the present time. The work will appear with every advantage of maps, geo graphical and historical commentaries, and remarkable confirmation of the credibility of the narrative, derived from Chinese sources by t 137, learning of the editor.--The Belgiati Government have expelled from their 4rritory, M. Rogeard, (who had to leave France in consequence of his " Pro pos de Labienus ;") he had just published at Bkussels- a volume of prose and verse hostile to the French Empire; it was en titled " Poor France." ARCHZOLOGISTS have frequently cast a longing eye on the remains of the ancient Segontiacum or Silohester, in Hampshire, one of the largest Roman towns in Britain, with grass grown walls nearly three miles in circuit. The site was, however, inclu ded in the estate of the Duke of Welling ton, and the " Iron Duke" had no notion of his good old pasture land beinc , broken up for salt purposes. His son, the present duke, is more liberally inclined, and patron izes the explorations. The courses of the leading streets, etc., are ascertained, and excavations are laying bare the foundations of large public buildings. A faithful rec ord of all " finds" is kept, and an account of the proceedings will be published by the rector of the parish.— The Nation. fauittro c frtrittro.
