Extracts from Opinions fine Press:
The collection is one of which no author nee'
| be ashamed 1t consists, indeed, of some o,
Mr.. lieadley's most brilliant and highly finish
| ed compositions, Of those specimens of his abili
tiles by which he may be judged with the great
est safety to his fame a word-painter an
thinker See n. York Tribune, Dec. 10, lS4.
Sacred Scenes and Ch0rdcte,s-By the Re,
J I Headiey. This work may very properly bt
considered a companion to the . Sacred Noun
,ains," by the same author. Its object is to IL
iustrate and "render more l;fe-like the sacre
writings 1t is not the author des gn to super
e the Bible But his wish is to excite IL SO
licitude to obtain, and to become intimately ac
quainted and perfectly familiar with its history
doctrines and laws to its truth, to imbibe IL
isprit, feel its power and partake of its saliva
ton: IN o word, to prize in some measure as
deserves this treasure which indeed is beyon
price. We predict iG" it circulation far beyon'
any of the authors former works. News Jan'
Sacred Scenes and Characters-By Rev J
7 Headley, author of the Sacred Mountains
| sc. This work will add greatly to the reputa
| ton Of the author In literary merit it more
than equals his Sacred Mountains Mr. |: cad
ley excels in his glowing sty lie and vivid descrip
tiOns. HIS works are rich treasury of all the
Isublimity Of thought, moving tenderness of pas
sion, and vigorous strength ofexpression which
are to be found in all the languages by which
mortals declare their minds Daily GlobeJan5
Ranljles and Sketches-By Rev I Head
ley. We have not for a long time sat down to a
book with more pleasing anticipations, or found
those anticipqtions more fully realized than in
the perusa Of the work before us, and we know
it will be hailed with qualification by the many
admirers Of the talented author. His 'Napo-
leon and his Marshals was, perhaps, as p0pL..ar
and found at least as 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
lishel works. There is not II dull chapter in
the work, filled as it is with an Infinite varie
ty' The author has ample room and verge
enough for the employment Of his fine talents to
great advantage, and most successfully has he
ACCOMPLISHED the task. The biographical
sketch of the author is interesting and well
considered and adds much to the value of the
book, which is got up in a very neat style by
the publishers--[Portland Transcript, Dec Is
Mr. lIeadley is one of the most prominent
writer's of this country, apd we have here one
of his best books-onc on which he can safely |
rest his fame 1t possesses the unfatguing
charms of perfect simplicity and truth There
is n graceful frankness pervading the compost
ton which engages the interest of the reader in
the author as well as in the subject His ram
bes about Rome, Paris and London exhibit n
thousand lively traits of an ingenious nature,
upon which man of taste will delight to lnger

of the authors works-[N New York News
