It is a page taken from the book of life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning, ‘Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ We have not for some time seen a work we could so deservedly praise, or so conscientiously recommend.”--LITERARY GAZETTE.

THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF MAN,
In which Religion and Superstition are traced from their Source.
By D. MORISON.
How much the contents of this volume call for the careful investigation of every one in search of Truth, will appear from the following opinions selected from many.
“The intention of this book is not less admirable than the manner in which it is written. It is most instructive, and the tone of its contents is in the highest degree pious, without the least tinge of puritanism. The information it gives on the most difficult points of biblical reading render it a valuable book to all who desire true knowledge.”--AGE.
“Curious, industrious, and learned, and well worthy the attention of the public.”--LITERARY GAZETTE.
“The plan of this book was both extensive and important--embracing an inquiry into the nature of Revelation, and its influence on the opinions and customs of mankind;” BUT “the writer uses _Scripture_ as an interpreter,” and “sticks to the literal text of the six days.”--SPECTATOR.

By ALEXANDER COPLAND, Esq.
Author of “The Existence of other Worlds,” &c.
“This able work will afford in perusal, to all surviving relations, consolation and diversion of mind of the most congenial kind. It neither leads the thoughts to dwell painfully on one idea--that of loss--nor does it altogether withdraw the mind from its contemplation: an effort still more painful. The study of a work like this, on the contrary, while it _gradually means grief from its melancholy occupation_, supplies it with the sweetest and most cheerful of all balm--THE HAPPY CERTAINTY OF REUNION, not after the lapse of vast ages of time, but of the instant term of mortal existence.”--THEOLOGICAL REVIEW.

THE CREATION--THE CHRISTIAN SCHEME--THE INNER SENSE.
By the Rev. WILLIAM HILL TUCKER, M.A., Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge.
“This is not a work for ordinary readers. The author thinks for himself; and so writes that his readers must think too, or they will not be able to understand him. To the sacred volume, as a revelation from God, he pays uniform and entire deference--and the thoughtful and prayerful reader will soon find that he has not the thinkings of a common-place mind before him.”--METHODIST MAGAZINE.
