The Series will be so varied as to embrace, in turn, every
branch of Theological Study, and it will afford an opportunity
to Ministers, Students, and others (of limitedincomes especi-

The issues are so frequent that a rapid addition may be made
to the libraries of the subscribers, and yet not so rapid but that
one volume may be read ere another is forthcoming.
A volume is published on the 26th of every month (the first
on the 26th of May last), and may be had in the country with

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-
