Sacred Scenes and Characteristic the Rev.
J. T. Headley. This work may be very
properly considered a companion to The
g Sacred Mountains by the same author.
Its object is 10 illustrate and srender more
life-like" the sacred writings. It is not the
authors design to supersede the Bible. But
his wish is excite a solicitude TO obtain, and
TO become Intimately acquainted and per-
iectly familiar with lis history, doctrines and
laws; 10 know lis truth 10 imbibe its spirit
feel lis power, and parIake of its salvation;
in a word, 10 prize in sone measure as it
deserves, this treasure which is indeed be-
yond price. We predict for il a circulation
far beyond any of the authors former works.
1.-THE News, Jan. It'll.
RamLles and Sketches-By Rev. J. T. Head
ley. We have not for a long time sat down
10 a book with more pleasing anticipations,
or found those anticipalions more fully re-
allied, than in the perusal of the work be-
fore US, ard we know it will be hailed with
qualification by the many admirers OF the
talented author. His "Napoleon and his
Marshals" was, perhaps, as popular and
found at least as many enthusiastic readers
as any book that can be mentioned. We
think the Rambles and Sketches are des-
tined TO be as popular at least as any Of his
previously published works. There is not a
dull chapter in the work, filled as it is with.
Gan initiate variety" The author has am
pie room and verge enough for the employ
ment OF his fine talents 10 great advantage,
and most successfully has he accomplished
the task. The biographical sketch Of the
author is interesting and "well considered,n ~
and adds much 10 the value of the book.
which is got up in a very neat and attractive
style by the publisher.-See Portland Trans
script, Dec. 18th.
MIR, Headley is. one of themost promising wri-
tiers Of this country, and we have here one of his
best books-oLe on which he can safely rest his
fame. 1t possesses the unfatiguing charms Of
perfect simplicity and truth. There is graceful
f~rankness pervading the composition, which ems
| cages the interest ofthe reader in the author as
we'll as in the subject. His rnmbles about Rome,
Paris and London exhibit o thousand trai,s of an
ingenious nature. upon which a man of taste
will delight to finger. We predict for this a
sale equal 20 that OF any of the authors works.

greatest safety TO his fame as a word-painter and
thinker. New York Tribune,
