THE LONDON THEOLOGICAL LIBRARY

N E but really valuable Works are published, and,
_L N moreover, none but such as are now very scarce, or to be
had only at a high price. Works within general reach will be
excluded from the Series.
In no case will a work be abridged, except it be impracticable
to publish it in its original form ;in that case,-the abridgment
will be undertaken by competent schol whose names will
always be given. At the same time ossible, a work will be
limited to four volumes. It is ge ally found that an abridged
work is of little value, either as authority or a reference.
The selection is such that e theological reader will deem
every volume unexceptio le, and may, therefore, possess
himself of the whole.

The Series will btee,s6Saried as to embrace, in turn, every
branch of Theolog. al Study, and it will afford an opportunity
to Ministers, Students, and others (of limited incomes especi-
ally,) they never before possessed.

The volumes are handsome and substantial. Each contains
not less than four hundred pages, post octavo, printed (from
type cast for the purpose) on superior paper. They are hound
in cloth and gilt lettered. The conductors wish it distinctly to
be understood that the volumes are not what is called " cheaply
got up," but in every respect, for size and appearance, such as
may be placed with satisfaction upon the shelves of the library.
The Series are uniform in appearance, but not numbered con-
secutively, so that any distinct work may be had by itself.
The Price of the Monthly Volume is HALF-A-CROWN only.
The Publishers pledge themselves to the foregoing terms.

The first work is A COMPLETE HISTORY of the CHRIS-
TIAN CHURCH to the close of the Eighteenth Century, by
MILNER and HAWEIS. This work will be complete in four
volumes.

The First Volume of Milner appeared on the 26th of May, the
Second on the 26th of June, and have gained a large circulation.
The Work has met with great praise from all quarters, and it
is universally admitted to be the cheapest which has ever been
issued from the Press. The commendations which it has re-
ceived from the Religious Newspapers are of the highest cha-
racter. A few notices are subjoined :
The History of the Church of Christ, from the Days of the
Apostles to the Close of the Eighteenth Century. By JOSE PII
LNER and T. HAWEIS, L.L.D. Complete in 4 vols. Vol.
I. London : Chadwick and Co. Paternoster-row.

"In the days of cheap publications, and of publications as
valuable as they are cheap, the " Theological Library," of which
the above forms the opening volume, bids fair to outstrip most
of its competitors. We need not here critically examine such
a work as Milner's "History of the Church :" it is beyond the
critic's judgment, and takes rank as one of our standard works.
There may be a few opinions. lere and there, added to the his-
torical detail, which may not meet with universal sanction;
but in spite of these, and partly in consequence of these being
in themselves non-essential, the work demands a place in every
library of any pretensions to be called so. At its present price
any library may now possess it, and the poorest student will
find this hitherto expensive work brought within his pecuniary
capacity. If the volumes to come equal the one that has ap-
peared, no commendation we can give will be beyond their
merits."-.-Church and State Gazette.
" This History has been long before the public, and is justly
held in high esteem, and therefore needs no recommendation
from us. The scheme of publication, of which it is the first
number, deserves our notice, however. The projectors have
entitled their series, the "London Theological Library;" and
if a first volume be a criterion, they will merit the thanks of
every reader of theological books in the United Kingdom. The
book is "got up" in the very best style. It is really a model of
beautiful typography; and, as to cheapness, we believe there
is nothing in this day of cheap books to compare with it. The
"London Theological Library" is Worthy of the attention of
our readers."—We-'---•-

upon a work so well known, and which is recognized as a stand-

mans a student and many a poor minister will IR glad to have
it in his power to add such a work to his library."—Universe,
