VALUABLE WORKS.
THE PURITANS; or the Court, Church, and Parliament of England, during the reigns of Edward VI. and Elizabeth. By Samuel Hopkins, author of “Lessons at the Cross,” etc. In 3 vols. Vol. I. now ready. Octavo, cloth, per vol., $2.50.
Vol. II. ready in February, “ “ “ “ $2.50.
It will be found the most interesting and reliable History of the Puritans yet published, narrating in a dramatic style many facts hitherto unknown.
LIMITS OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT EXAMINED, in Eight Lectures delivered in the Oxford University Pulpit, in the year 1858, on the “Bampton Foundation.” By Rev. H. Longueville Mansel, B. D., Reader in Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford, and Editor of Sir William Hamilton’s Lectures. With the Copious Notes Translated for the American Ed. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
This volume is destined to create a profounder sensation in this country than any philosophical or religious work of this century. It is a defence of revealed religion, equal in ability to the “Analogy” of Bishop Butler, and meets the scepticism of our age as effectually as that great work in an earlier day. The Pantheism and Parkerism infused into our popular literature will here find an antidote. The Lectures excited the highest enthusiasm at Oxford, and the Volume has already reached a third edition in England. The copious “Notes” of the author having been translated for the American edition by an accomplished scholar, adds greatly to its value.
THE HISTORICAL EVIDENCES OF THE TRUTH OF THE SCRIPTURE RECORDS, STATED ANEW, with Special Reference to the Doubts and Discoveries of Modern Times. In Eight Lectures, delivered in the Oxford University pulpit, at the Bampton Lecture for 1859. By Geo. Rawlinson, M.A., Editor of the Histories of Herodotus. With the Copious Notes translated for the American Edition by an accomplished scholar. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.

MORAL PHILOSOPHY, including Theoretical and Practical Ethics. By Joseph Haven, D. D., late Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy in Amherst College; author of “Mental Philosophy.” Royal 12mo, cloth, embossed, $1.25.
It is eminently scientific in method, and thorough in discussion, and its views on unsettled questions in morals are discriminating and sound. It treats largely of Political Ethics—a department of morals of great importance to American youth, but generally overlooked in text-books. In the history of ethical opinions it is unusually rich and elaborate.
POPULAR GEOLOGY; With Descriptive Sketches from a Geologist’s Portfolio. By Hugh Miller. With a Resume of the Progress of Geological Science during the last two years. By Mrs. Miller. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.
This work is likely to prove the most popular of Hugh Miller’s writings, and to attain the widest circulation. It is written in his best style, and makes the mysteries of Geology intelligible to the common mind. As an architect explains the structure of a house from cellar to attic, so this accomplished geologist takes the globe to pieces, and explains the manner in which all its strata have been formed, from the granite foundation to the alluvial surface. It supplies just the information which many readers have been longing for, but unable to find. Also,

☞ One of the best and most useful works of this popular author.
