WILLIAMS'

WORKS.

LECTURES ON THE LORD'S PRAYER. BY WILLIAM R. WILLIAMS, D. D. Third edition. 12mo, cloth, 85 cts.

"We are constantly reminded, in reading his eloquent pages, of the old English writers, whose vigorous thought, and gorgeous imagery, and varied learning, have made their writings an inexhaustible mine for the scholars of the present day." - Ch. Observer.

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS; Discourses on the Development of the Christian Character. By WILLIAM R. WILLIAMS, D. D. Third edition. 12mo, cloth, 85 cts. "His power of apt and forcible illustration is without a parallel among modern writers. The mute pages spring into life beneath the magic of his radiant imagination. But this is never at the expense of solidity of thought, or strength of argument. It is seldom, indeed, that a mind of so much poetical invention yields such a willing homage to the logical element." - Harper's Monthly Miscellany.

MISCELLANIES. BY WILLIAM R. WILLIAMS, D. D. New and improved edition. Price Reduced. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

Prepared under the direction of the American Baptist Missionary Union. By WILLIAM GAMMELL, Professor in Brown University. With seven Maps. 12mo, cloth, at the low price of 75 cts.

This work was prepared at the request of the Executive Committee of the Missionary Union; and the Committee appointed by the Union to examine the manuscript, consisting of Doctors Cone, Sharp, and Chase, say: "It exhibits gratifying evidence of research, fidelity, and skill. It sets before the reader, in a lucid manner, facts that should never be forgotten. Some of them, in power to awaken attention and touch the heart, could scarcely be surpassed by fiction."

Rev. E. Kincaid says: "As I have labored more or less at all the stations in Burmah, I could but admire the singular accuracy with which all the leading facts of these missions are detailed in Prof. Gammell's History of American Baptist Missions. I have not found a single error of any importance."

Rev. J. Wade says: "I can most cordially recommend it to the public as being a very truthful and well-written work."

WORKS FOR BIBLE STUDENTS.

KITTO'S POPULAR CYCLOPÆDIA OF BIBLICAL LITERATURE. Condensed from the larger work. By the Author, JOHN KITTO, D. D. Assisted by JAMES TAYLOR, D. D., of Glasgow. With over five hundred Illustrations. One volume, octavo, 812 pp. Cloth, $3.00; sheep, $3.50; cloth, gilt, $4.00; half calf, $4.00.

A DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE. Serving, also, as a COMMENTARY, embodying the products of the best and most recent researches in biblical literature in which the scholars of Europe and America have been engaged. The work, the result of immense labor and research, and enriched by the contributions of writers of distinguished eminence in the various departments of sacred literature, has been, by universal consent, pronounced the best work of its class extant, and the one best suited to the advanced knowledge of the present day in all the studies connected with theological science. It is not only intended for ministers and theological students, but it is also particularly adapted to parents, Sabbath-school teachers, and the great body of the religious public.

THE HISTORY OF PALESTINE, from the Patriarchal Age to the Present Time; with Chapters on the Geography and Natural History of the Country, the Customs and Institutions of the Hebrews. By JOHN KITTO, D. D. With upwards of two hundred Illustrations. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.

CONCORDANCE

OL

ANALYTICAL THE HOLY SCRIPTURES; or, the Bible presented under Distinct and Classified Heads or Topics. By JOHN EADIE, D. D., LL D., Author of "Biblical Cyclopædia," "Ecclesiastical Cyclopædia," "Dictionary of the Bible,” etc. One volume, octavo, 840 pp. Cloth, $3.00; sheep, $3.50; cloth, gilt, $4.00; half Turkey morocco, $4.00.

The object of this Concordance is to present the SCRIPTURES ENTIRE, under certain classified and exhaustive heads. It differs from an ordinary Concordance, in that its arrangement depends not on WORDS, but on SUBJECTS, and the verses are printed in full. Its plan does not bring it at all into competition with such limited works as those of Gaston and Warden; for they select doctrinal topics principally, and do not profess to comprehend as this THE ENTIRE BIBLE. The work also contains a Synoptical Table of Contents of the whole work, presenting in brief a system of biblical antiquities and theology, with a very copious and accurate index.

The value of this work to ministers and Sabbath-school teachers can hardly be over-estimated; and it needs only to be examined, to secure the approval and patronage of every Bible student.

CRUDEN'S CONDENSED CONCORDANCE. A Complete Concord. ance to the Holy Scriptures. By ALEXANDER CRUDEN. Revised and Re-edited by the Rev. DAVID KING, LL. D. Octavo, cloth backs, $1.25; sheep, $1.50.

The condensation of the quotations of Scripture, arranged under the most obvious heads, while it diminishes the bulk of the work, greatly facilitates the finding of any required passage.

"We have in this edition of Cruden the best made better. That is, the present is better adapted to the purposes of a Concordance, by the erasure of superfluous references, the omission of unne、 cessary explanations, and the contraction of quotations, &c. It is better as a manual, and is better adapted by its price to the means of many who need and ought to possess such a work, than the former large and expensive edition."- Puritan Recorder.

A. COMMENTARY ON THE ORIGINAL TEXT OF THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. By HORATIO B. HACKETT, D. D., Prof. of Biblical Literature and Interpretation, in the Newton Theol. Inst. A new, revised, and enlarged edition. Royal octavo, cloth, $2.25.

ng This most important and very popular work has been thoroughly revised; large portions entirely re-written, with the addition of more than one hundred pages of new matter; the result of the author's continued, laborious investigations and travels, since the publication of the first edition. (22)

WORKS FOR BIBLE STUDENTS.

NOTES ON THE GOSPELS. Designed for Teachers in Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes, and as an Aid to Family Instruction. By HENRY J. RIPLEY, Prof. in Newton Theol. Inst. With Map of Canaan. Cloth, embossed, $1.25.

NOTES ON THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES. With a beautiful Map, illustrating the Travels of the APOSTLE PAUL, with a track of his Voyage from Cesarea to Rome. By Prof. HENRY J. RIPLEY, D. D. 12mo, cloth, embossed, 75 cts.

NOTES ON THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE ROMANS. Designed for Teachers in Sabbath Schools and Bible Classes, and as an aid to Family Instruction. By HENRY J. RIPLEY. 12mo, cloth, embossed, 67 cts.

The above works by Prof. Ripley should be in the hands of every student of the Bible, especially every Sabbath-school and Bible-class teacher. They are prepared with especial reference to this class of persons, and contain a mass of just the kind of information wanted.

MALCOM'S NEW BIBLE DICTIONARY of the most important Names, Objects, and Terms, found in the Holy Scriptures; intended principally for Sabbath, School Teachers and Bible Classes. By HOWARD MALCOM, D. D., late President of Lewisburg College, Pa. 16mo, cloth, embossed, 60 cts.

The former Dictionary, of which more than one hundred thousand copies were sold, is made the basis of the present work; yet so revised, enlarged, and improved, by the addition of new material, a greatly increased number of articles, new illustrations, etc., as to render it essentially a NEW DICTIONARY.

THE EVIDENCES OF CHRISTIANITY, as exhibited in the writings of its apologists, down to Augustine. By W. J. BOLTON, of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge 12mo, cloth, 80 cts.

HARMONY QUESTIONS ON THE FOUR GOSPELS, for the use of Sabbath Schools. By Rev. S. B. SWAIM, D. D. Vol. 1. 18mo, cloth backs, 12 cts.

The plan differs from all others in this, that it is based upon a HARMONY of the gospels. Instead of taking one of the gospels, - that of Matthew, for instance, and going through with it, the author takes from ALL of the gospels those parts relating to the same event, and brings them together in the same lesson.

SABBATH-SCHOOL CLASS BOOK; comprising copious Exercises on the Sacred Scriptures. By E. LINCOLN. Revised and Improved by REV. JOSEPH BANVARD, author of "Topical Question Book," etc. 18mo, 12 cts.

United testimony of Dr. Malcom, author of " Bible Dictionary," Dr. Stow, "Doctrinal Question Book," Dr. Hague, "Guides to Conversations on New Testament":

"It gives us pleasure to express our satisfaction with its design and execution. We think the work is well adapted to the end designed, having avoided, in a great degree, the evils of extreme redundance or conciseness."

LINCOLN'S SCRIPTURE QUESTIONS; with answers, giving, in the language of Scripture, interesting portions of the History, Doctrines, and Duties, exhibited in the Bible. 8 cts. per copy; $1.00 per dozen.

Where Bibles cannot be furnished to each scholar, this work will be found an admirable substitute, as the text is furnished in connection with the questions.

THE SABBATH-SCHOOL HARMONY; containing appropriate Hymns and Music for Sabbath Schools, Juvenile Singing Schools, and Family Devotion. By NATHANIEL D. GOULD. 121 cts. (23)
