Extracts from Opinions of the Press:
The collection is one of which no author need
be ashamed. 1t consists, indeed, of some of
Mr.. Headley'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 as a word-painter and
thinker.-[see N. York Tribune, Dec. 10, 1840
Sacred Scenes and Characters-By the Rev
I Headiey. This work may very properly be
considered companion to the " Sacred Noun
tains," by the same author. It's object is to H.
lustrate and "render more lfe-like' the sacred
writings 1t is not the authors design to super
sede the Bible But his wish is to excite u So
licitude to obtain, and to become intimately ac-
quaihted and perfectly familiar with it's history
doctrines and laws; to its truth, to imbibe its
spirit, feel it's power and partake of its saliva
ton; in a word, to prize in some measure as it
deserves, this treasure which indeed is beyond
price. We predict for it circulation far hey ond
any of the authors former works-[N News, j AM
Sacred Scenes and Characters-By Rev J
I Headley, author of the sacred Mountains ,
&c. This wo,k will add greatly to the reputa-
tion of the author. In literary merit it more
than equals his sacred Mountains Mr. Head.

sublimity of thought, moving tenderness of pas

Rambles and Sketches-By Rev J T Head
ley. We have not for long time sat down to o
book with more pleasing antcipations, or found
those anticipations more fully realized, than in
the perusal 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 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 8
popular at least as any of his previously pub
lished works. There is not 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 very neat style by
the publisiers-[portland Transcript, Dec 10
Mr. Headley is one Of the most prominent
writer's of this country, and we have here one
