A treatise on “Heart Discipline,” by James Cooper of Norwich, a venerable and successful minister of the Gospel, contains practical advice of great value on Spiritual Culture and the Health of the Soul. A recommendatory preface by the Rev. J. A. James, of Birmingham, is prefixed to the volume, which deserves the high eulogies which it receives from that eminent Nonconformist Divine. Scriptural truth and pious counsel are conveyed in simple language and earnest tone, and come with authority from an author who has passed his threescore years and ten, and who, by his pen, now testifies on subjects which he has preached for nearly half a century from the pulpit.—Literary Gazette.
“Mr. Cooper, between forty and fifty years ago, was a member of Mr. James’s church, as also were his parents. Since his retirement from the pastorate, Mr. Cooper has employed his leisure in the preparation of this volume; “in which,” to use Mr. James’s words, “he has compressed the spiritual and practical wisdom attained by the reading, reflection, and experience of threescore years and ten.” Such a work, so commended, needs no recommendation of ours.”—Patriot.
