SACRED SCENES AND CHARAcTERs.-By
the Rev. J. T.. Headley. This work may
very properly be considered companion to
the '.Sacred Mounlains," by the same author
Its object was TO illustrate and "render more
life like" the sacred writings. 1t is not the
authors design to supersede the Bible. But
his wish is to excite a solicitude to obtain, and
to become intimately acquainted and perfect
ly familiar with its history, doctrines and
laws; to know its truth, to imbide its spirit,
feel its power and partake Of its salvation; in
q wurd, to prize in some measure as it des-
erves, this treasure which is indeed beyond
price. We predict for it circulation far be-
yond any of the authors former work. The
News, Jan. 7lh.
SACRED SCENES AND CHARACTERs.-By
the Rev. ]. T. Headey, author Of the "Sa-
cred Mountains" &c. This work will add
greatly to the reputation of the author. In
literary merit it more than equals his "Sa-
cred Mountains" Mr.. Headiey exces in
his growing style and vivid descriptions. His
works are rich treasure of all the sublimity
Of thought, moving tenderness of passion, and
vigorous strength Ct expression, which are to
be found in all the languages by which NOR
ais declare their nlinds.--[See Daily Globe

RAMBLEs AND SKErcuEs.-By Rev. ].
T. Hsadley. We have not for a long time
sat down to book with more pleasing antici-
pations, or found those anticipations more ful
ly realized, than in the pursual of the work
before us, and we know 1t will be hailed with
qualification by the many admirers of the tai
ented author. His ''Nnpoleon and his Mar
shals" was, perhaps, as popular, and t, und at
least rs many enthusiastic readers, as any
book that can be mentioned. We think the
Rambles and Sketches are destined to be as
popular at least as any Of his previously pub
lished works. There IS not dull chapter
in the work, filled as it is with ssan infinite va
riety." The author has ample room and
verge enough for the employment Of his fine
alents to rgeat advantage, and most success
fully has he accomplished the task. The BIZ
ographical sketch of the author is interesting
and '.weIl considered" and adds much to tue
value Of the book, which is got up in a very
neat and attractive style by the publisher
[Sse Portland Transcript, Dec. 18th.
Mr.. Headley is one of the most promising
writers Of this country, and we have here one
Of his best books-one on which he can safe
ly rest bis flme. 1t possesses the unfatigu-
ing charms of perfect simplicity and truth
There is graceful frankness prevailing
the composition, which engages the interest
of the reader in the author as well as in the
subject. His rambles about Rome, Paris and
London exhibit n lhousandvely traits of an
ingenious nature, up which man Of taste
will delight to linger. We predict for this a
sale equnl to that of any of the authors works.
-TSee New York News.
The collection is one Of which no author
need be ashamed. It consists, inded, of some
of Mr.. Headley's most brilliant and highly
finished compositions, of those specimens of
his abilities by which he may be Judged with
the greatest safety to his fame as word
painter and tninker.-[See New York Trb-
