The only complete edition. COMMENTARY ON PETER; with Life by Pearson, complete, in one thick handsomely printed vol. 8vo. portrait, extra cloth, (pub. at 128.) reduced to 98. 1846

"I cannot sufficiently express the delight and edification which I have found in the writings of this wonderful man, for such I must deliberately call him. I can hardly forbear saying, as a considerable philosopher and eminent divine said to me in a letter long ago, there is a spirit in Archbishop Leighton I never met in any human writings; nor can I read many lines in them without being moved.' His works ought to be reckoned among the greatest treasures of the English tongue; they continually overflow with love to God, and breathe an heart entirely transformed by the Gospel, and above the views of everything but pleasing God."-Dr. Doddridge.

"Archbishop Leighton had the greatest elevation of soul, the largest compass of knowledge, the most mortified and most heavenly disposition that I ever yet saw in mortal; that had the greatest parts, as well as virtues, with the perfectest humility, that I ever saw in man."-Bishop Burnet.

"There is no expository work in the English language equal to Leighton's Exposition of Peter. It is rich in evangelical sentiment, exalted devotion, and admirable illustration. There is learning without its parade, theology divested of systematic stiffness, and eloquence in a beautiful flow of unaffected language and appropriate imagery. To say more would be unbecoming, and less could not be said with justice." -Orme.

"Mr. Pearson's edition of Archbishop Leighton is an excellent one. All parties agree in commendation of this celebrated divine."-Lowndes.

"Archbishop Leighton is an incomparable writer, full of the deepest evangelical devotion, with the best taste. His praise is in all the churches. He is one of the very first divines of the British church, whose writings breathe throughout the spirit of devotion, a noble strain of deep piety, a most humble, heavenly, and loving spirit, an elegant mind and a scriptural standard of evangelical doctrine.-His life, by Mr. Pearson, is a delightful piece of biography."-The Rev. E. Bickersteth.

1842

"This ironical life and defence of Bishop Bonner is an exposure of the Romish tendency of the Oxford

Tracts, and is written throughout with ability and learning. There is no doubt that the author ha damaged the party he has attacked."-Athen@ES,

"An ironical polemical defence of Bishop Bonter; under the mask of justifying, it bitterly condemns the Romish Church and its professors, Puseyites. It shows considerable reading, and is very clever."-Literary Gazette.

"The aim of the writer has been carried out with great skill, great ability, and great effect. The sarcasm is always biting; the very difficult point of the double character is well sustained; and the style is strong and polished, without any appearance of labour."-Spectator.

"There are special reasons at this time for recurring to the Saints of our own dear and glorious, most favoured, yet most erring and most unfortunate England. Such a recurrence may teach us to love our country better, and on truer grounds, than heretofore; to invest her territory, her cities and villages, her hills and springs, with sacred associations; to give us an insight into her present historical position in

the course of the Divine dispensation; to instruct us in the capabilities of the English character; and to open upon us the duties and the hopes to which that Church is heir, which was in former times the mother of St. Boniface and St. Ethelreda." LUTHER'S

COMMENTARY

Few preachers have enjoyed greater popularity in London, or its vicinity, than the late Rev. George Mathew, many years Vicar of Greenwich, and alternate Morning Preacher at St. James's. Four large editions of his sermons were sold in a very short time. They are remarkable specimens of close and perspicuous argument, arranged with great clearness, and enforced with extraordinary ability.

"Mr. Mathew's Sermons display every excellence we could wish; all that can instruct the ignorant, confirm the wavering, or alarm the vicious: they cannot be read without advantage. He has been eminently successful in reducing Butler's Analogy to the level of the meanest capacity, and in giving a luminous précis of his arguments."-British Critic.

"How many have thanked God for the hour that first made them acquainted with the writings of Hannah More. She did perhaps as much real good in her generation as any woman that ever held the pen. It would be idle for us to dwell here on works so well known. They have established her name as a great moral writer, possessing a masterly command over the resources of our language, and devoting a keen wit and a lively fancy to the best and noblest of purposes."Quarterly Review.

Horace Walpole declared that Hannah More was not only one of the cleverest of women, but one of the best. Her writings, said he, promote virtue, and their repeated editions prove their worth and utility. MORISON'S (DR.)

[ocr errors]

Bishop Porteus was a light in his generation and to posterity; and an ornament to the times in which he lived.

"His sermons are conspicuous for sound judgment, solid argument, great knowledge of the human heart, accurate observation of the world, an unshrinking reprobation of vice, the most persuasive exhortations to piety, and an unqualified avowal of all the essential fundamental truths and doctrines of the Gospel."Eclectic Review.

"It is creditable to the public taste that his writings should have acquired this high popularity; for their excellencies both as to matter and style well deserve it."-Quarterly Review.

PROTESTANT'S ARMORY; being a Collection of Extracts from various Writers on the Church of Rome, chiefly designed to show its Apostate, Idolatrous, and Anti-Christian Character, compiled by a Lay Member of the Church of England (POYNDER), fcap. 8vo. extra cloth, (pub. at 78.) reduced to 58. 1839 RIDGELEY'S BODY OF DIVINITY, wherein the Doctrines of the Christian Religion are Explained and Defended, complete in 2 vols. 1844 impl. 8vo. Portrait, extra cloth, 17. 48.

"It is probable that the English language does not furnish a work of this nature that, for perspicuity of language, extent of research, accuracy of judgment, and judicious description, any way equals this of Dr. Ridgeley. He was a man of extensive and sound learning, of remarkable diligence, and a strict economist of his time. His skilful knowledge of the learned languages, large acquaintance with ancient and modern writers, and critical knowledge of the sacred volume, rendered him well qualified for theological controversy."-Wilson.

"His lectures display soundness of judgment, extensive learning, and an intimate acquaintance with the sacred oracles."--Bogue. SANDERSON'S (BISHOP) SERMONS, with Life of the Author by ISAAC WALTON, and an Introductory Essay by the REV. ROBERT MONTGOMERY, 2 vols. 8vo. extra cloth boards, (pub. at 17. 48.) reduced to 148.

1841

No library which admits the sermons of Barrow, Tillotson, and Jeremy Taylor, should be without those of that great divine Bishop Sanderson.

Dr. Hammond has observed that, "Sanderson conceives all things deliberately, speaks upon them discreetly, discerns things that differ exactly, passeth his judgment rationally, and expresses it aptly, clearly

"What Bishop

and honestly." Dr. Wotton says, Sanderson has written is all gold, and thoroughly refined." And the Rev. E. Bickersteth observes, "Sanderson was a man of great reflection and judgment, and his works abound with important discussions and decisions."

"There are no sermons more valuable for study, or more to be recommended to a young divine for their sound doctrine and admirable matter, than Bishop Sanderson's."-Ecclesiastical Journal.

SCLATER'S (DR. WILLIAM) ORIGINAL DRAUGHT OF THE PRIMITIVE CHURCH, new edition, corrected, with the Quotations from the Fathers and Old Divines, given at length, 12mo. cloth lettered, (pub. at 68.) reduced to 38. Oxford, Talboys, 1840

This is the reprint of a very rare and highly appreciated work. The author is mentioned by Chalmers, Wood, and others, as one of the most learned and judicious divines of his time; and Bickersteth says that "these two valuable works have exhausted this important subject," speaking of Sclater and King. SCOTT'S (W.)

Seeley, &c. "An original, sound, evangelical, and practical Commentary, with a vast collection of parallels."Bickersteth.

"The capital excellency of this valuable and immense undertaking, perhaps, consists in following more closely than any other, the fair and adequate meaning of every part of Scripture, without regard to the niceties of human systems; it is, in every sense of the expression, a Scriptural comment. It has likewise a further and a strong recommendation in its originality. Every part of it is thought out by the author for himself, not borrowed from others. The later editions, indeed, are enriched with brief and valuable quotations from several writers of credit-but the substance of the work is entirely his own. It is not a compilation, it is an original production, in which you have the deliberate judgments of a masculine and independent mind on all the parts of Holy Scripture. Every student will understand the value of such a work. Further, it is the comment of our age, presenting many of the best lights which history casts on the interpretation of prophecy, giving several of the remarks which sound criticism has accumulated from the different branches of sacred literature, obviating the chief objections which modern annotators have advanced against some of the distinguishing doctrines of the Gospel, and adapting the instructions of Scripture to the peculiar circumstances of the times in which we live. The commentator's eminent characteristics were a matured knowledge, skill as a textuary, sterling honesty, a firm grasp of truth, unfeigned submission of mind to every part of the inspired records, a holy temper of heart, unfeigned diligence, and perseverance."-Horne.

PRACTICAL COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE, for the Use of Families, 2 large and closely printed volumes, impl. 8vo. extra cloth boards, (pub. at 17. 168.) reduced to 188. Seeley, 1834

Mr. Bickersteth suggested the publication of this condensed edition of Scott's celebrated Commentary, observing that "a Practical Commentary on the Scriptures, written with the soundness of Scott, and within a moderate compass for the use of families, was still a desideratum."

An edition of only 500 cost the author upwards of 500 guineas getting up, and although printed several years ago, it has not hitherto been published.

"Simeon's works are a monument of pastoral labour and piety, with much judgment on doctrinal subjects, and useful practical application."-Bickersteth.

"One of the nol lest offerings that consecrated hand ever laid on the altar. Let a clergyman about to expound a chapter orally, study it in Doddridge, or Heary, or Scott, or Girdlestone; and then let him go over the same chapter with Simeon, and we think that, notwithstanding all the admitted excellencies of the former writers, the last will furnish out the best appointed champion."-Christian Remembrancer.

"Simeon's Discourses comprise a comment on nearly the whole of the Holy Scriptures, and exceed in copiousness, as a storehouse of sound hortatory theology, any production of the same kind that had been previously given to the work."

"These outlines compose a series of regularly digested and supremely important topics of Christian divinity. As helps to composition they will be peculiarly serviceable to young clergymen, and also to the more aged, whose extensive employment incapacitates them from supplying as fast as they can expend."

"We recommend these volumes most cordially to the attention of the younger members of the clerical prefession; they will be found real helps to their inventive faculties."-Christian Observer.

The Sermons of this wittiest of English Divines will always rank among the standard productions of the English Church. They are adapted to all readers and to all days."-Retrospective Review.

"South's Sermons are invaluable-the staff of his spear is like a weaver's beam.”—British Critic.

"South is conspicuous for sound practical good sense, for a deep insight into human character, for liveliness of imagination and exuberant invention, and unbounded wit. In perspicuity, copiousness, and force of expression, he is almost unrivalled among English writers. The sincerity of his principles is shown in the purity of his life, and the vigour of his understanding is stamped on all that he wrote."-Penny Cyclopædia. STACK'S (DR.)

Subjoined are a General Index, a Liturgical Index, and an Index of Sermons, as also an improved edition, with an analytical Index, of Claude's Essay on the Composition of a Sermon. The work may truly be said to form a Theological Encyclopædia."-Lowndes.
