" This copious title does not promise more than the volume in
fact comprises, which is saying much. It will answer, indeed, al-
most every useful purpme of a Theological Dictionary ; for though
it does not contain all the useless technical definitions of grace,
faith, salvation, &c, which are found in such Dictionanea, it coal.
prises most of the Historical information relating to Sects, I leresies,
Councils, and Opinions, for which they aro chiefly valuable. 'We
consider the publication, in its present enlarged and corrected fotm,
as entitled to our warmest commendation."—Eclectic Review.
6. CHRISTIAN FELLOII'SIi IP ; or, the Church Illestber's
Guide. By the Rev. John Angel James, of Birmingham. A new
Edition, 1 vol. 12ino. :is. boards.

" Mr; James maintains a most impressive style of evangelical
address, blending the soundest practical admonition with a rich
strain of gospel instruction. We could not, of course, but be highly
gratified at finding a subject of so much importance as that of
Church Fellowship, taken up by one so competent to the task, nor
have our anticipations been disappointed by the perusal of the
very interesting work before us. A vein of sound reasonirg per-
vades the whole, and, in general, we have bad to admire the discre-
tion with which lie touches on certain points in his subjects that re-
quire considerable delicacy as well as decision in their treatment."—
Congreg. Mag.
7. The CHRISTIAN FATHER'S PRESENT to his CHIL-
DREN. By the Rev. J. A. James. 2 vols. 12mo. 9s. boards.
" We now take leave of Mr. James's admirable work, with the
expression of our bent thanks, for the important service lie has ren-
dered the rising generation ; and our hearty recommendation of the
work to those parents, who are desirous of embodying in a perma-
nent form, the best counsels of their wisdom end experience, and
the best wishes and emotions of their hews."—Congreg. Slag.
Aug. 1924.
' The Author touches on nearly every topic that can be interest-
ing to man, whether we view him as an inhabitant of time, or a
probationer of eternity; and, perhaps, scarcely any medium of
communication cool.' be more likely to gain the reader's attention,
than this which he has chosen."—lmp. Mag. Sept. 11121.
" It would be difficult to select from the long catalogue of Eng-
lish literature, a work more generally worthy of the acceptance of
youth. It has its origin in the warmest affection ; its object
throughout is to promote their present and eternal welfare ; and its
execution spews the man of deep reflection, of practical wisdom.
and of anxious concern for the happiness of his own children, and
of young persons in general."—New Evangelical Magazine, Sep.
teinber, 1824.

" Vie state it as our firm conviction, that 111 r. Jame,' has con.
fared a high obligation on Christian parents, by furnishing them
with so suitable a present fur their children."—Evangelical slag.

Literary Gazette.
" The author has contrived to make a very pleasing book upon
the Botanical History and Varieties, of the Rose, the methods of
cultivating it, and its various win. Vie conclude, by recommend-
ing to all the lovers of the Rose this little volume, which may serve,
indeed, as a pretty good emblem of the work—a slender stalk, on
which see hung many beautiful blossoms."—Universid Review.

path of divine instruction with &wins. It will be extensively read
in proportion as it is known, but not more so than it justly de-

the most important out:jet-it that can be presented to the juvenile

feel it a privilege to put such an excellent book into the hands of
their children, and but few children who would nut be improved by
a perusal of it."
