Memoir Of William Carey, d. D.-Late
missionary TO Bengal Professor Of Orr
entail Languages in the College Of Fort
William, Calcutta. BY Eustace Carey
with an Introductory Essay by Jeremiah
Chaplin, d. D., late President Of Water
Vile College. Hartford: Garfield and
Robins, 1887. 1smO. PIP. 46s.
This beautiful edition Of Carey is the
bee oni that has issued from the American
press. The exccllencies Of this work
have been dwel upon so much in several
pf our periodicals, that it might be deem
|ed injudicious to speak Of them again in a
hotice ofthis new edition. The form in
which it now appears, deserves a passing
notice. It has bees reduced TO smaller,
Ind in some respects more convenient
&c. Il has been put in all equally hand.
.bme and legible type. and stereotyped.
On these accounts the publishers are able
% afford it at a cheaper price, and have
put it withia the power Of almost every
Friend Of Missions to procure q copy. 1t
j hoped that by this means, as well as by
ppblishing it in another city, the work may
stain a wider circulation than it would
rlherwise have gained. II is believed
bat no person can read the Memoir Of
William Carey without becominga warm
3 advocate for the diffusion of the Gospel;
q being conscious Of some secret desire
> become personally interested in that
Gospel All must feel the possibility of
their accomplishing some valuable good,
1''her for themselves or others, if, like
Trey, they will only "plod.'
The Introductory Essay that accompa-
nies the present edition, was written by
d. Chaplin-that well known friend OF
lohrning, literature, philanthropy, and re-
ZION. Anything bearing the signature
Of Jeremiah Chaplin, might be expected
@ contain valuable thought, and useful
application. We have not been dsap-
poin;ed in the eff'usion from his PEN
very one, especially young men intend
i0g to engage in ministerial labor, ought
q read this essay as much as the memoir
ELI 1t is such a comment upon it as
IIe experience of mind like Chapin's
foud naturally make; & such as young
Dan would seek from the lips of father
u Christ. We will name the points up
d which he descants, hoping they may
okcite attention to the whole OF it.
After speaking Of the utility Of bog
hphy, especially sacred, the author re-
i1arks:-
PIN contemplating the individual who
u the subject Of this memoir, we NEE
nth some interesting practical truths
which cannot fail, if rightly understood
% be Of great use to us in the journey O

kursory manner.
