College, and Rector of Walcot. 12in0., cloth. 41 50.

commanding a Dirge Salo. Second edition inst issued.
Air This volume itione.of the finest specimens of the use of the
Hnglishlangitage we have lately seen. Dr. Hovey, in his preface
to theArnerican editicin, truly says of these lectures; "The views
which theY express are fresh and convincing, and the language in
which -they are presented is clear as crystal, revealing every
thought and shade of thought with absolute distinctness. There
is not, I helieve, a dark or. dull sentence in the volume." The au
thor Wows the propriety of the present arrangements of the New
Testament, traces the enunciation of doctrine in thedifferent parts
of that wonderful book, and shows how God's revelation to man
was at length. fuliv.cOmpleted. He, most effectually-disposes of
the attempt Made by errorists now to give pre-eminence to the
Gomels and to reject the Epistles, thus aiming a blow at the entire
Word of God: The minister who studies this series carefully, will
find Otis mind greatly strengthened, and be wonderfully assisted in
preparidg to contend for theiroth as it is- in Jesus. The inteDi
gent layman will.also•be much instructed and greatlyplaased with
