“By all sincere Christian women, the world over, this volume will be regarded as a spiritual treasure.”—Presbyterian.
Paley’s Evidences of Christianity,
With Notes and Additions. By Charles Murray Nairne, M.A. 12mo. $1.25.
“It would be a work of supererogation, at this late day, to dwell on the peculiar excellences of Paley’s treatise on the Evidences of Christianity. It is not probable it will ever be superseded. Its learning, its exactness, its wonderful clearness of thought, its logical force, are incomparable. * * * * * * * The American editor has fortified the points in which Paley has failed, and, by his additional matter, has unquestionably furnished the best, as well as the safest edition of Paley extant.”—Presbyterian.
“The Editor of this work, we hesitate not to say, is a man of extraordinary intellect and acquirements, and he has done what it may safely be said that few are capable of doing, has given additional attraction and value to Paley’s Evidences of Christianity. The introductory article, entitled ‘Claims of Divine Revelation,’ could never have been the production of any other than a master-mind.”—Puritan Recorder.
“As one of the impregnable defences of the historical verity of the facts of Christianity, the work of Paley stands unrivaled and complete. * * * The notes and additions of Prof. Nairne make it more valuable than any edition hitherto published. The labors of Chalmers, Hill, Wardlaw, Campbell, Alexander, Hitchcock, Miller, Birks, and many others, are here put under contribution.”—Presbyterian of the West.
The Footsteps of St. Paul.
By the author of the “Morning and Night Watches.” 12mo. Illustrated. $1 00.
“‘The Footsteps of St. Paul’ is the title of an able and instructive work, presenting a consecutive history of the life, labors, and teachings of the great Apostle. It interweaves, in the narrative, all the direct disclosures of the Acts, the incidental intimations of the Epistles, all the outside information extant, and many conjectural statements derived from a comparison of different parts of Scripture. But he has written it in an animated and graphic style, and imbued it with a fine spirit. It leaves a strong impression on the reader’s mind. It is copiously illustrated with maps and engravings, and is every way a scholarly performance.”—Evangelist.
“The Carters have published a multitude of good books, but, unless we greatly mistake, this will be reckoned among the best of them.”—Puritan Recorder.
