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 wOrd-painter and
|thinker.-[See N. York Tribune, Dec. 10, 1S49
Sacred Scenes and Characters--By the Rev
j Headiey. This work may very properly be
considered a companion to the s' Sacred Noun
tains," by the same author. Its object is to H.
lustrate and "render more life-like'' the sacred
writings 1t is not the authors design to super
sede the Bible But his wish is to excite So
licitude to obtain, and to become intimately ac-
quaihted and perfectly familiar with its history

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, JAM
Sacred Scenes and Characters-By Rev

sion, and vigorous strength Of expression, which
are to be found in all the languages by which

ley. We have not for long time sat down to a
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 Rambles and Sketches are destined to be as
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
