Extracts from Opinions of the Press:
The collection is one of which no author need
be ashamed 1t consists, indeed, of some Of
Mr. Hcadley's most brilliant and highly finish
ed compositions, OF those specimens of his abii-
tiles by which he may be judged with the great
eat safety to his fame as q word painter and
thinker.-[See N York Tribune, Dec. 10, 1649

considered II companion to the 8 Sacred Noun
tains," by the same author. Its OH ct is to il
lustrate and "render more life like the sacred
writings 1t is not the author design to super
sede the Bible But his wish is to excite IL So
licitude to obtain, and to become intimately ac-
quaihted and perfectly familiar with its history
doctrines and laws; to its truth, to imbibe 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 in Iced is beyond

any of the authors former works-[News,Jan7

admirers of the talented author His 'Napo-

and found at least as many enthusiastic readers
as any book that can be mentioned We think
the Ramblcs and Sketches az, destined to be as
/ popular at least as any of his previously pub

the work, filled as it is with an infnte yarie
ty.' The author has ample room and verge
enough for the employment of his fine ta ents 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 valne of the
book, which is got up in very neat style by
the ublishers-[Portland Transcript, Dec Is
