ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF MISSIONS.
A Record of the Voyages, Travels, Labours, and Successes of the various Missionaries, who have been sent forth by Protestant Societies to Evangelize the Heathen; compiled from authentic Documents, forming a Complete Missionary Repository. Illustrated by twenty-five Engravings on steel. By the Rev. J. O. Choules and the Rev. Thomas Smith. Seventh Edition. 2 vols. 4to., beautifully bound in full cloth. Price only $4 50.
"A new edition of this great work has just been issued by Mr. Carter, in two quarto volumes, in handsome style, with a large number of very fine engravings, illustrating scenes, manners and customs, in the heathen world; and we desire to call the attention of those interested in missions to this publication. It is the most extensive and complete history of missions which has been prepared, and contains a mass of important and interesting information, which would not be readily found elsewhere. For a family book, one to which the children will resort to find striking facts and interesting narratives, and for the clergyman, who wishes to have a store-house, to which he may always refer for valuable materials, these volumes will be found most happily adapted."—Advocate.
THE BRITISH PULPIT.
Consisting of Discourses by the most eminent living divines, in England, Scotland, and Ireland; accompanied with Pulpit Sketches. By the Rev. W. Suddards, rector of Grace Church, Philadelphia. 2 vols. 8vo. Price $2 50.
"The sermons may be regarded as among the very best specimens of the modern British pulpit; and indeed the work includes almost every distinguished name to be found in any of the Evangelical denominations in Great Britain. It is of course, pervaded by a great variety of taste and talent, and is for this very reason the better adapted to gain extensive circulation and to be eminently useful."—Argus.
CONNECTION OF
SACRED AND PROFANE HISTORY.
Being a Review of the principal Events in the World, as they bear upon the state of Religion, from the close of the Old Testament History, till the establishment of Christianity. By D. Davidson. 3 vols. 12mo. Price $1 50.
"This work is well executed, and is, we think, calculated to become popular. The historical plan is clear and unique, and the style is singularly attractive, on account of its purity and strength. It is constructed upon a Christian basis, recognizing the fact, that although the superintending power of God over the progress of nations, may be as untraceable as his paths in the ocean, yet the effects are everywhere visible, and manifest the progressive fulfilment of the prophetic denunciations and promises set forth in the Holy Oracles."—Protestant Churchman.
