The "American Theological Review" says :—They are admirable specimens of elevating and natal discourses. The more doctrinal themes are handled in a practical way —the most practical subjects are full of doctrinal vigor- They are adapted not only to feed the Church of God, but to arrest the attention of those who are still strangers to the covenant of promise. The "Presbyterian Quarterly" says:—Dd. Alexander is an excellent sermonizer—his characteristic is a mingling of sweetness and spirituality—there is much delicacy of con ception and gentleman-like elegance, while, at the same time, alt is sufficiently plain and clear, The "Southern Presbyterian „Review" says:—ln Dr. Alexander's Sermons there are beauties of style, terseness, and directness of expression, appropriate imagery, and depth of feeling, which make them attractive.

The " Princeton Review" says :—lt is quite the most able and valuable of Dr. Bushnell's works on Theology. It of coarse bears the imprint of the author's genius, in its fresh and brilliant diction, its affluent originality and bewitch• tug felicity of Illustration, Its episodic paisages of marvel. one beauty and eloquence.

The "American Theological Review" says :--We are pre pared to say that we have never followed. so close and so forcible an argument, that was at the same time so read able. It is one of the freshest book' of the season, or of any season. The " Mercersburg Quarterly" Bays:—We welcome the book with all our heart, as a most valuable accession to the Theological Literature of the age. Dr. Bushnell has con trived to throw into it the full vivacity and freshness of his own nature. It is rich throughout with thoughts that breathe, and words that glow and barn. A sort of , poetical charm is made to suffuse the entire progress of its arga•, merit, relieving the severity of the discussion, and clothing it oftentimes with graphic interest and force.
