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.

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.
