These European letters, written during rapid |
four months tour, were most acceptably received
through the medium OF the Philadelphia Pre-,
and Washington Chronicle. Colonel FoRSKY's OBJ
servations Of the most searching character, were
directed to the principal objects OF interest in and
around London. The Houses OF Parliament,
Westminster Abbey, Peabody Buildings, Crys-
tai Palace, &C., sc. They extended also to the
most notcibae features OF Paris, ,Switzerland,G Ger
many, Belgium, and Holland. A ground so re-
peatedly travelled and commented upon, one would
suppose completely sterile and uninteresting
but the Colonel, by examining here and digging
there, has SO fertilized and rejuvinated appai-
emily exhausted soil, as almost to defy recogni-
tion.
"PRAYERs FROM PLYMOUTH PULPIT
BY Henry WARD BEEcHER. Published by
CHARLEs ScRIBKR Co., New York. Sold by
FRENCH RICHARDSON.
These prayers, In their delivery, had so i'm
pressive an effect upon the Rev. DR.. JOHN
MARSH, as to cause the engagement of phono-
graphic reporter, that their GLOWING words and
heavenly thoughts" might be perpetuated, This
was done without the knowledge OF the pastor,
with a view solely to his own personal use. But,
early in the present year, he WAS brought to
think the monopoly Of SO valuable = treasure a
wrong to his brethren. Upon consultation, Mr..
BEEcHER could not object to their publication,
II they were thought capable Of doing good in
that way. In addition to the regular church
service prayers, occasional social or lecture room
prayers appear In the collection. The devotional
everywhere will appropriately estimate these
spiritual communings, whose beauty OF Ian
guage, elevation Of thought, strong ardor, and
earnestncss cannot but infect and communicate
Itself to the weakest devotee.
