AND OF THE

EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND,

AND THE
UNITED STATES OF AM RICA.
EDITED BY THE REV. STEP N IS'AACSON ,
M.A.
TT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise
a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of
the Archbishops, Bishops, and other living Dignitaries and
Clergymen of the United Church of England and Ireland,
both here and in our Colonies, the Episcopal Church of
Scotland, and that interesting branch of the Protestant
Episcopal Church now flourishing in the United States of
America; and the distinguished patronage with which this
undertaking has been already honoured, inspired the Pro-
prietors with confidence that it will be highly acceptable to
the nation at large, as well as to the members of our venera-
ble and Apostolic Church.
The above Work is in the same size and style as the Con-
servative Portraits, now publishing by Messrs. Dawe and
Gowar, 8, Regent-street, London.
The value of this Work will be obvious to all who desire
to see the sacred ties of Christian affection drawn more closely
between the respective orders and ranks of the Clergy and
their Congregations. To the Clergy who may wish to possess
Portraits of the Bishops who ordained them, and are " over
them in the Lord," and likewise of the's College and Clerical
friends ; and of living authors whom they have read and
esteem, the present Work will be full of interest and pleasure.
To Parochial Congregations also it will afford high gratifica-
tion to be able individually to possess themselves of a faithful
Portrait of the Pastor from whom they receive the advantages
of religious instruction and spiritual consolation, and whom
they have been led to " esteem highly for his work's sake."
The numerous Lay friends and relatives of the Clergy will
also have an opportunity of obtaining accurate Portrintares
of those who are endeared to them by the ties of nature. In
all these, and many other respects, this Work cannot fail of
becoming of great utility and interest to the vast body of the
Nobility, Clergy, and Gentry of the British Empire. The
Portraits will be selected without the least regard to political
or other differences of opinion. Eminence in Ecclesiastical
rank, intellectual abilities, learning, virtue, or religious zeal,
being the great objects proposed to be recorded:
The Memoirs will be confined to a review of the academical
course and public life of the Clergyman whose likeness is
given, together with a list of any religigious or literary works
which he may have published. Facts will be stated, while
all critical and controversial observations likely to offend will
be excluded. It has been suggested by very high authority,
that it would add much to the interest and value of the work,
if each Clergyman would furnish a short exposition of a•
passage of Scripture. The Proprietors cheerfully accede to
this suggestion, and respectfully solicit the favour of such
communications. And as only about four pages on an
average can be appropriated to each Memoir and Scriptural
illustration, brevity will be highly desirable.
The Portraits will be engraved in the first style of the Art,
and neither trouble nor expense spared to render this great
Work worthy of the noble cause to which it is dedicated, and
one of the most splendid that has ever appeared.
A Part, containing three Portraits, with their respective

Memoir, will be published on the first day of every aliernate
month, in a thick, handsome wrapper, for the protection of
the Plates. The size of each engraving will be nine inches by
seven. _ s. d.

All Portraits will be given in full canonicals ; and those
Clergymen mho have approved likenesses will oblige the
Proprietors by lending them for the purposes of this Work.
They will be carefully preserved, and returned free of expense ;
but where no Portrait exists, the Proprietors will have one
painted expressly for the Work at their own expense.
Part I. will be published on the 10th May next, and Spe-
cimens of the Work may now be inspected at the STANDARD
OFFICE.
