SACRED SCENES AND CHARAcrERs.-By
the Rev. J. T. HeadIey. This work may
| ha f0
the ..Sacred Mountains" 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 solieitade to obtain, and
to become intimately acquainted and perfect
. ly familiar with its history, doctrines and
laws; to know it's truth, to imbide its spirit,
feel its power and partake of its salvation; in
!, + d word, to prize in some measure as it des-
Tsrves, this treasure which is indeed beyond
price. We predict for it a circulation far be-
yond any of the authors former work. The
q News, Jan. 9TH.
SACRED SCENES AND CHARAcTERs.-Ry
the Rev. J. T. HeadIey, 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-
t cred Mountains" Mr.. Headley excels 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 of expression, which are to
{ be found in all the languages by which NOR
ais declare their minds.-[See Daily Globe
Jan. 5th.
sRAMBLEs AND SKErcuEs.-By Rev. j
T. Headley. We have not for long time
), sat down to book with more pleasing antici-
pations, or found those anticipations more fu
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
II ented author. His ''Napoleon and his Mar
$ shals" was, perhaps, as popular, and II und al
!, least as many enthusiastic readers, as any
- book that can be mentioned. We think the
e Rambles and Sketches are destined to be as
/. popular at least as any of his previously pub
IS lished works. There IS not dull chapter
!. in the work, filled as it is with 'an infinite va
rety." The author has ample room ant
verge enough for the employment of his fine
alents to rgeat advantage, and most success.
r fully has he accomplished the task. The bi
J. ographical sketch of the author is interesting
Il and swell considered and adds much to the
:. value of the book, which is got up in very
' neat and attractive style by the publisher
See Portland Transcript, Dec. 18th.
8 8 Mr.. Headley is one of the most promising
writers of this country, and we have here one
d of his best books-one on which he can safe
e ly rest his fame. 1t possesses the unfatigu-
ing charms of perfect simplicity and truth
e e There is graceful frankness prevailing
= the composition, which engages the interest
: of the reader in the author as we'll as in the
b subject. His rambles about Rome, Paris and
n London exhibit thousandlively traits of an
ingenious nature, upon wheh man of taste
will delight to linger. We predict for this a
sale equal to that Of any of the author s works
-TSee New York News.
The collection is one of which no author
q need be ashamed. 1t consists, inded, of some
of Mr.. Headley's most brilliant and highly
finished compositions. of those specimens oi
his abilities by which he may be judged with
!, the greatest safety to his fame as word
painter and thinker.-[See New York Trib-
, une, Dec. II, 1849.
