OF THE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE, FROM

EVE OF THE OLD TO THE MARYS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. BY REV. P. C. HEADLEY.

One Volume, 284 pp. 16mo., Illustrated. Price $1 00.

It is the design of this work to breathe encouragement to the maternal heart, and to infuse the spirit of their high destiny into the minds of the Women of America.

OPINIONS OF REVIEWERS.

The author of this work possesses enough traits of resemblance to the author of the "Sacred Mountains," to leave no doubt of his right to the name of Headley. There is much of that spirited descriptive power, which has made the elder brother a popular favorite, and gives promise of a successful career on his own account.-N. Y. Evan.

It contains nineteen descriptive biographical sketches, arranged in chronological order, including nearly all the distinguished women of the sacred annals, and forming an outline of Scripture history. The illustrations are from original designs, and are numerous and appropriate. No ordinary powers of imagination and expression are shown in the vivid and picturesque descriptions; and the fine portraitures of character rivet the interest, and set forth the Scripture delineations in a stronger light. In this respect, the book has no rival, for no other is so complete, following so closely, at the same time, the sacred narrative. We hope it is but an earnest of other works from the pen of its gifted author.-Home Journal,

The author has appropriated very much of the poetry and romance of the Bible, in the sketches he has given of nineteen women, who have come down to us through their peculiar merits, embalmed in inspiration. Whoever reads the story of Sarah, the beautiful Hebrew maiden, the admiration of the Chaldean shepherds and the pride of her kindred, and of the other subjects of these sketches, will read a story far more attractive than any romance or novel.-Oswego Times.

And his Apostles.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PROF. SEAGER.

Six Illustrations, One Volume, 469pp. 12mo. Price, $1 25. 'Twas this Almighty Word that all things made;

He grasps whole nature in his single hand;
All the eternal truths in him are laid."

Every new contribution to the stock of Christian knowledge must be regarded as a substantial benefit to the cause of truth in any age; but at a time unprecedented for the multiplication of books, whose chief aim is to furnish light reading, giving the mind occupation without the trouble of thinking, a work which tends directly both to develop the intellect, and sanctify the heart, can not fail to commend itself to the public. Such a work is "Fleetwood's Life of Christ."

The author of this volume has collected, with great discrimination, into a beautifully-connected narrative, and arranged, as far as practicable, in chronological order, all the most striking events in the life of the Saviour, from his glorious advent to his more glorious return to heaven, interspersing the whole with such reflections as seemed necessary, both to give unity to the plan of the work, and to illustrate, in the most impressive manner, the grand design of his mission. The ornamental in style is purposely avoided, while a simplicity and clearness of diction, admirably corresponding to that of the New Testament, is carefully studied. Those soul-inspiring truths which for ages were the burden of prophecy, and into which "the angels desired to look," are too sublime to admit the artificial adorning so profusely lavished upon works of mere taste. They

"need not the aid of foreign ornament, But are, when unadorned, adorned the most."

The wide-spread fame which the work has acquired, both in this country and in Europe, has induced us to prepare an edition at such a price as to place it within the reach of readers of all classes. A good book should be made, as far as possible, like the sun-light and the rain, the common property of all. This edition, although furnished at onefifth the price of the large work, contains every important feature of that, except the expensive illustrations.

Besides the LIFE OF CHRIST, this work contains, also, the Lives of ST. PETER, ST. PAUL, ST. ANDREW, ST. JAMES THE GREAT, ST. JOHN THE EVANGELIST, ST. PHILIP, ST. BARTHOLOMEW, ST. MATTHEW, ST. THOMAS, ST. JAMES THE LESS, ST. SIMON THE ZEALOT, ST. JUDE, ST. MATTHIAS, ST. MARK, ST. LUKE, ST. BARNABAS, ST. STEPHEN, TIMOTHY, and TITUS.

Of this immortal work, the Publishers need only say, that they have printed it on new, large, and beautiful type, on fine paper, illustrated it with beautiful engravings, and furnish it at the low price of One Dollar.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS,

This a very attractive little volume, and will be gladly welcomed to many a fireside during the coming Holidays. The Tales are full of interesting incidents, related in a pleasing manner, and their tendency is to elevate the mind and to purify the heart. We have seldom met with a more desirable present for a family circle.-N. Y. Journal.

This is a delightful book for our little friends. It contains in all eleven tales, of which the "Beautiful Gate" is the longest. These tales combine enough of the fanciful and eal, not only to be of the greatest interest to children, but to excite that species of curiosity which educates.

We may add that it has a few choice illustrations, and combines all those elegancies of book-making art for which its publishers are becoming justly noted.-Democrat and Enquirer.

LIVES OF EMINENT

CONTAINING

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, INCIDENTS, Anecdotes, Becords of Travel, &c.

BY REV. P. D. GORRIE.

WITH PORTRAITS OF REV. J. WESLEY, REV. J. W. FLETCHER, REV. RICHARD WATSON, REV. JOHN EMORY, AND REV. STEPHEN OLIN.

One Volnme, 408 pp. 12mo., Muslin. Price $1 00. The above volume embraces memoirs of the following eminent and excellent men, namely:

JOHN WESLEY,
JOHN W. FLETCHER,
THOMAS COKE,
RICHARD WATSON,
BISHOP ASBURY,
JESSE LEE,

BISHOP M'KENDREE,
BISHOP ROBERTS,

WILBUR FISK,

CHARLES WESLEY,
JOSEPH BENSON,
ADAM CLARKE,
GIDEON OUSELEY,
BISHOP WHATCOAT,
BENJAMIN ABBOTT,
BISHOP GEORGE,

BISHOP EMORY,

STEPHEN OLIN.

No published "Life," or "Memoir," of several of the eminent men whose biographies are contained herein, has ever before been given to the public. This is especially true of Bishops Asbury, M'Kendree, Whatcoat and George, and of Dr. Olin. While, therefore, much ground has been gone over, the author hopes that this attempt to embody, in a convenient form, the leading events in the history of the Great Lights of Methodism, will not be unappreciated by a candid and liberal minded public.

One object the author has had in view-to make the work interestng and profitable. To accomplish this object, variety was thought to be necessary; hence, the reader who deigns to peruse this work, will find many interesting and instructive anecdotes interspersed through its pages, and what is perhaps of more importance, he will learn something of the self-denial practiced, and the sacrifices made, by the leading ministers of the Methodist Church in Europe and America.
