BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

A VERY Valuable BooK.-We always
take pleasure in recommending book
ideal of what a good book should be; IN
which the object is one of interest and i'm
pOrtance, the style attractive and pleasing,
and the illustrations and details lucid and
complete. We find such book in the
Peoples Edition Of Co155edre and Hoa0son's
Life and EpistLes Of Saint EEltt, y just rePub-
Iished in this country by the National Pub
fishing Co., of Cincinnati. This work has
all the attractiveness of fiction, in the excl
ting events of its narratives, with the GER
tainty that they are the truthful records
Of wen authenticated facts; embracing
graphic and eloquent delineations of
the early life, education, conversion, teach
ings, 1abOrs, travels, sufferings, peri1s, per
great Apostle. It stands alone and unap-
proachable in its speciality: all that could
be desired, in the way OF history, state
ment, comment, criticism, and illustration,
relating to the vital subject of which it
treats. The great learning and power, and
beauty of style, do not constitute its high
EST praise. This is found in its moral and
religious spirit, in its pre-eminent Christian
candor and imparttality, in its solid earn
estneSs for historic truth, its manly and un-
vascinating faith in the doctrines proclaim
ed by the fearless subject of its biography,
all combining to make it one of the grand
est monuments of sanctifed intellect and
learning ever reared to the honor of Sacred
Truth. Never have we seen such an array
OF great Names giving their unqual1ned
commendations of book, as we find in the
publishers circular; names of persons
whose self-reSpect and PERSONAL character
and position, make them exceedingly
chary how they indOrse any thing that does
not come up to a high standard of excel
lence, or that does not meet with their
| hearty approval. This reprint will be more
l highly priced than any other, as it is the
country with translated notes. 1t has in
addition an able and exceedingly valuable
dissertation by DR.. Leonard Bacons the en-
nent Professor of Theology in Yale College,
/ preparing the reader for the graphic ac-
apostle. Its pictorial illustrations, its type,
paper, and binding are In keeping with the
rare merits of the book.
The Agent for the sale OF this work Will
shortly canvass the County for the purpose
