THE ILLUSTRATED FAMILY BIBLE, in one ele-
gant volume, small folio, comprising also " A COM-
PLETE CONCORDANCE of the OLD and NEW
TESTAMENTS," is strongly recommended as decidedly
most appropriate and best adapted as a present to a new
married couple ; as a token of remembrance to a distant
friend, or on birth days or other occasions ; as testified by
the following extracts from a considerable list of critical
notices .

Copy of a letter from the Rev. Dr. RAFFLES.
February, 1839.
" Gentlemen,—l am exceedingly obliged to you for haring
afforded me a sight of the elegant volumes you sent for my
inspection. Your edition of the Bible, in the beauty of its
typography, and the taste displayed in its decorations, is
certainly unique ; and I trust that many will be induced to
make a book, so precious as to its contents, and so graceful
in its ornaments, the medium of expressing their regard for
those relations and friends to whom they desire to present
some token of their esteem.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very truly,
" THOMAS RAFFLES.
" Messrs. Fisher, Son, and Co., London.

" This is an age Of wonders as it respects the efforts of the
Press. Never was the art of printing so well understood as
it is in the present day. The illustrated Family Bible' is a
striking proof of the truth of these remarks. As a specimen
of typography it will be regarded by the best judges as unri-
valled in taste and beauty ; and in economy to the public it
is no less remarkable. With pictorial illustrations, eminent
for their skill and adaptation, a Commentary long established
in the public confidence, and a Concordance written on a new
and improved principle, it is offered to families at an incon-
ceivably moderate sum. As a present to a newly-married
couple, just entering on the responsibilities of domestic life,
it may prove the means of extensive good to generations yet
unborn."—Evangelical Magazine, February, 1839.

PORTRAITS AND MEMOIRS OF THE
ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, AND OTHER DISTIN-
GUISHED DIGNITARIES AND CLERGYMEN

OF THE
UNITED CHURCH OF ENGLAND AND IRELAND,
AND OF TIIE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SCOTLAND,

AND THE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
EDITED BY THE Rev. STEPHEN ISd4ACSON,
IT is intended that this great National Work shall comprise
I a series of Portraits, accompanied with brief Memoirs, of
the Archbishotia,...l3Lshops 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, inspires the Pro-
prietors with confidence that it will be highly k.cceptable to
the nation at large, as well as to the members or our venera-
ble and Apostolic Church.
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 their 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 Portraitures
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 hi 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 religious 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 alternate
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.

EXTRAORDINARY LIISITS NATURE.-Mr. Thomas Carr,
a small farmer and weaver at Longton, has a hen, which, on
Thursday last, produced an egg of an unusually large size,
which, being broken, was found to contain what is common
enough, a double yolk, but between the yolks was found
another egg, of the usual size, with a hard shell, complete
and perfect in its formation. More than a dozen people were
present when this strange deviation from nature's regular pro-
cess was discovered.—Blackburn Standard.:
