HAPPINESS OF THE BLESSED considered as to the particulars of their state; their recognition of each other in that state; and its difference of degrees. ? To which are added, Musings on the Church and her Services. By Richard Mant, D. D, Lord Bishop of Down and Connor. One volume. 12mo. 75c.

"We would have this volume find its way into every Christian family where there is one person that can read. If scriptural truth and warm devotion can commend a book, this will not be neglected.

"Bishop Mant as a poet is not duly appreciated. Whether this arises from a distaste for the Sonnet, or from an idea that he has merely imitated Wordsworth, it is equally a mistake. His sonnets are generally carefully constructed, and seldom lacking in elevation of sentiment. They sometimes, it is true, are not so well compacted and pointed as the form requires, but this is owing to the didactic tone which many of their subjects necessitate. Above all they are full of the genuine Anglican feeling which Wordsworth often does not display. The reader of the Musings' will, we think, feel that this series is more animated by a Church spirit than Wordsworth's."— Churchman.

"Sound in doctrine, rich in thought, beautiful in style, and devotional in its character, this work ranks among the choicest specimens of English Theological literature. It has already become endeared to thousands of Christian Churchmen, with whom, like Scenes in our Parish,' and the 'Christian Year,' it is a household volume."-Calendar. MANT'S HORÆ LITURGICÆ. Being a Guide to Uniformity in the Celebration of Divine Service. By the Rt. Rev. Richard Mant, D. D., Lord Bishop of Down and Connor. With Additions to adapt it to the American Church, by the Rev. W. D. Wilson, M. A. One Volume. 12mo. 75c.

"We earnestly commend this volume to the attention of the clergy of the Church, as a work the want of which has been long felt, particularly in this country. Bishop Mant has ably fulfilled the task imposed upon himself, and the Notes and Additions of the American editor are judicious and commendable. We trust that those who are jast entering upon their sacred calling, will give heed to the counsels of this volume, that they may begin aright, and that the beautiful fabric' of our liturgy, bequeathed by the noble army of martyrs and confessors, may present that beauty of uniformity which they intended, undisfigured by the crude notions of those who would gild refined gold or paint the lily."

Records of a Good Man's Life," etc. 12mo. 75c.

"The pictures of individuals and families are so life-like, the va rious shades of character so finely and accurately drawn, that the reader's attention is rivetted from first to last. The narrative is autobiographical, and is written with such an air of candor, and interspersed with reflections so natural to the incidents, that it is really difficult to divest one's self of the impression that it is truth and not fiction. In one respect we think 'Mark Wilton' is even superior to the author's former productions-the fourfold phase of character ex hibited in the narrative is preserved with astonishing fidelity and clearness. These are exemplified in the character of a family of high worldly integrity; of another, whose whole domestic discipline is regulate by the elevated precepts of Christian character; of a young maà, a fellow clerk of Wilton's, remarkable for his decision and firmness of Christian character; and of Mark Wilton, easily seduced from virtue, lacking strength to resist example and vicious influences, often wandering far from rectitude, yet again impulsive for good when arrested in his downward path. The subordinate characters serve to make apparent these distinctions. We would that the book were carefully read by all for whom it is especially designedthe clerks in a great city.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

"We take great pleasure in calling attention to this most excellent volume, which must meet with a wide circulation. The style is beautifully simple, the narrative abounds with interesting incidents, and the whole is imbued with a tone of the highest evangelical piety. The writer has a happy faculty of adapting himself to the compre hension of the young, at the same time that he instructs and entertains the old. It would make an appropriate present for the young, and may be the means of doing great good. Mr. Tayler, as far as we have had opportunity to judge, is quite as interesting a writer as Charlotte Elizabeth, and far less bigoted and prejudiced. Such volumes as these cannot be too wide' spread."-Evening Post. "We are pleased to see a third American edition of this delightful volume, than which few fictions are more like real life, and none cau have a better effect upon the heart. The fidelity with which the inconsistencies of Christians in the most favored worldly circumstances are portrayed in this volume cannot fail to have a salutary influence, while the narrative is of such an inteest as to induce more than one reading."-Commercial.
