New matter of great value has been introduced, allusions to circumstances now obsolete have been expunged, and fresh and interesting evidence of the fulfilment of the prophecies of the book have been added. These volumes form a LIBRARY EDITION of a work of unprecedented popularity, replete with interest, and strikingly illustrative of a much neglected portion of the Word of God.

RUTH:
A CHAPTER IN PROVIDENCE
"The genius of the preacher has fallen on a theme peculiarly agreeable, abounding in nature, truth, simplicity, and pathos. We predict for the publication a very extensive and enduring popularity."
—British Standard.
"If the story loses somewhat of its simplicity under the glowing pen of the eloquent doctor, it gains, on the other hand, by the pure evangelical tone which runs like a golden thread through all the history."
—Atlas.
"Indeed, the book is a woman's book, and we shall be much mistaken if it do not prove more attractive—as it will be certainly more useful—to sensible women than half the sentimental trash which they are insulted by having offered to them."
—Freeman.

CONSOLATIONS;
OR, LEAVES FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
"There are few of the varieties of human trouble, or the forms and appliances of Christian solace, that are not described by the author."
—Literary Gazette.
"The present volume is worthy to take rank with the best and most successful of the Rev. Author's previous works. Its consolations are leaves gathered from the tree of life, fresh in their lovely verdure, impregnated with the sweet odours of the Gospel. The author's contributions to religious literature are marked not less by their eminently evangelical and practical characters, their purity and loftiness of thought, than by their beautiful simplicity of language and style."
—Morning Herald.
"This volume is eminently practical, and is marked by all the author's characteristic excellences. We have not read a book from Dr. Cumming for a long time which we can more conscientiously commend."
—Weekly Christian News.

THE CELEBRATED PROTESTANT DISCUSSION,
Between the Rev. JOHN CUMMING, D.D., and DANIEL FRENCH, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, held at Hammersmith, in 1839.

"A compendium of argument."
—Gentleman's Magazine.
"The subject (pro and con) is all but exhausted."
—Church and State Gazette.
"This cheap reprint of a masterly discussion contains the most comprehensive view of all points at issue between Protestants and Romanists with which we are acquainted."
—Biblical Review.

DAILY FAMILY DEVOTION;

With Twenty-four Engravings.
PREFACE.
The Services are meant to embody the wants, and praises, and intercessions of Christians of every section of the Church of Christ. Any family of any branch of the Protestant Church may use them. They are meant for man in the world, and designed to render family worship full, without tediousness. They are suited, the writer trusts, by the generality and commonness of the prayers, for every class and type in this busy world. With earnest hearts to feel and use them, and the teaching of God's Holy Spirit, these forms may become instinct with life, and unload many a full soul that cannot strike out words for itself. The Annotations are necessarily few.
This work is designed to introduce or facilitate the practice of Family Worship. By constructing the daily prayer on the passage of Scripture selected for reading, greater variety, interest, and practical use are associated with the exercise. What God declares is thus solemnly accepted in prayer; what He promises is embraced by adoring hope; and for special blessings disclosed or promised in his holy word, thanksgiving and praise are ascribed to Him from whom cometh down every good and perfect gift, to whom belong the glory and the honour.

"One of the most valuable of Dr. Cumming's numerous publications, and likely to become the most popular, and the most lasting in its popularity, for it has enduring qualities which belong to all ages and generations. The text is simply and clearly opened—critical explanations are given only when they are required—so as not to encumber, but to elucidate; and the practical applications are such as to suit all classes of persons."
—Church of England Quarterly Review.
"The comments are made with great lucidity. The result is the throwing of an additional flood of light on the already dazzling truths of Holy Writ. The uses of such a work are self-obvious; and when we add that the plan is carried out with all the lucidity, faithfulness, piety, honest reasoning, and felicity of thought and expression which mark its predecessors, we have only said enough to mark our sense of its value."
—Church and State Gazette.
"For the purpose for which 'the Readings' are intended, they are in every sense admirably adapted. They combine simplicity with faithfulness, and critical interpretation with most attractive explanation; so that a child may understand them."
—Bell's Messenger.
