Extracts from Opinions ofhe Press:
The collection is one of which no author need
be ashamed 1t consists, indeed, of some of
Mr.. 1Ieadley'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 word-painter and
ithinker-[See N. York Tribune, Dec. 10, 1849
Sacred Scenes and Characters.-By the Rev
J 7 Headiey. This work may very properly be
considered a companion to the g. Sacred Noun
tains," by the same author. Its oil ject is to IL
lustrate and render more ife-like" the sacred
writings 1t is not the authors design to super
sede the Bible But his wish is to excite II So
Ilicitude 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 a word, to prize in some measure as it
deserves, this treasure which inleed is beyond
price. We predict for it circulation far beyond
any Of the authors former works. News JAM
Sacred Scenes and Characters--By Rev
T 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. T. iead-
ley excels in his glowing style and vivid descrip

sion, and vigorous strength of expression, which

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 many enthusiastic readers
las any book that can be mentioned. We think
the Rambles and Sketches ar, destined to be as
popular at least any of his previously pub
| lished works. There is not dull chapter in
the work, filled as it is with an iufnite 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 vane of the
book, which is got up in very neat style by
the publishers-[Portland Transcript, Dec Is
