i Extracts from Opinions of the Press:
The collection is one of which no author need
be ashamed 1t consists, indeed, OF some Of
MIR. lleadley's most brilliant and highly finish
ed compositions, of those specimens of his abli-
tiles by which he may be judged with the great
est safety to his fame as a word painter and
i thinker See N. York Tribune, Dec 10, l849
Sacred Scenes and CAaracters.-By the Rev
} L Headiey. This work may very properly be
considered a companion to the " Sacred Noun
tains," by the same author. It's object is to H.
lusirate and "rcnder more life like" the sacred
writings 1t is not the author design to SUPER
sede the Bible But his wish is to excite n So
licitude to obtain, and to become intimately ac-
quaiited and perfectly familiar with its history
doctrines and laws to its truth, to imbbe its
spirit, feel its power and partake of it's saliva
ton; IN word, to prize in some measure as it
deserves, this treasure which indeed is beyond
price. We predict for it a circulation far beyond
any OF the authors former works-[News, 81 AM
Sacred Scenes and Characters-By Rev ]
I Headley, author of the Sacred Mountains
&c. This work will add greatly to the reputa-
ton of the author. In literary merit it more
than equals his Sacred Mountains Mr. Head
ley excels in his glowing styl and vivid descrip-
tions. His works rich treasury of all the
subimity of thought, moving tenderness of pas
sion. and vigorous strength Of Repression, which
are to be found in all the languages by which
mortals declare their minds-[D Daily GlobeJ ans
Ranbles and Sketches-By Rev ] 7 Head
LEY. We have not Tor n long time sat down to a
book with more pleasing anticpations, or found
those anticipations more fully realized, than in
| 1t Will be hailed with qualification by the many
admirers of the talented author His .Nono |
leon 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 Rambes and Sketches are destined to be as
popua at least as any of his previously pub
lishei works. There is not dull CHAPTER in
the work, filled as it is with san iufnite vare
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
oook, which is got up in a very neat style by
the publishers-[Portland Transcript, Dec Is
Mr. Headley is one of the most prominent
writers OF this country, and we have here one
OF ms best books-one on which he can safely
rest his fame 1t possesses the unfatiguing
charms OF perfect simplicity and truth There
is graceful frankness pervading the compost
tion which engages the interest of the reader in

thousand lively traits of an ingenious nature, ,
