DAILY BREAD; or Meditations, Practical and Experimental, for every Day in the Year, by more than One Hundred eminent and popular Ministers of the last half century, and a few other writers. The whole adapted either for the Family or Closet, and containing the Outline of Three Hundred and Sixty-Six Discourses. T. WILLIAMS, Editor. Second Edition, 7s. 6d. bds., 8s. bound.

A large portion of these selections is original, the MSS. having been furnished either by the authors, or by individuals accustomed to follow ministers with the pen. Economy both of time and price has been consulted, and, altogether, Mr. W. has produced a work eminently deserving the patronage of the religious public."

Congreg. Mag.

"Among the Names affixed to these Meditations, we observe those of Cecil, Fuller, Pearce, Swaine, Moody, Medley, Dr. Simpson, Hitchin, Shrubsole, Lambert, (all deceased ;) and among living preachers, Drs. Ryland, Bogue, and Mason; Messrs. Jay, Parsons, Burder, Cockin, Griffin, &c. &c. From these preachers it is not unreasonable to expect a production of considerable merit, and such as may be acceptable to pious persons in various ways. In whatever way this volume may be used, we trust that it will promote the edification of the serious reader; and with that wish, and that expectation, we cordially recommend it."

Evan. Mag.

REFLECTIONS on the WORD of GOD, for every Day in the Year. By the late Rev. WILLIAM WARD, Missionary at Serampore. 12mo. with a fine Portrait, 6s. 6d. bds., 7s. bound.

"The plan of the work is sufficiently simple. For every day in the year a text is selected, upon which the author makes such reflections as its subject suggests to him. They are short; consisting generally of one, two or three pages of a small octavo volume; so that those persons (and we should hope there are many such) who are disposed to devote a portion of each day to the consideration of sacred subjects, would find this book a convenient manual, which would lead them gradually into a very extensive field of religious inquiry. Sometimes the judicious reader will meet with hints which he may improve, and sometimes with positions which he may be inclined to dispute. But he will find every where indications of a mind thoroughly devoted to the great object of diffusing religious instruction, of enlightening the ignorant, awakening the thoughtless, reclaiming the wicked, improving the good."-Quarterly Theological Review, No. 5.

"This volume was produced by the Author in his voyage to England, in 1819. The sentiments are those of truth and soberness, conveyed with much devotion of spirit, and in simplicity of language." Home Mission. Mag. June 1825.

"This is a tract of no common interest, whe ther we consider the quarter from which it comes, or the proposal it contains....Though written for America, it applies almost equally to every Christian country."-Evan. Mag.

"This is a Missionary Panorama-a stinging, stirring pamphlet, which will do more good than many a fashionable quarto. We most earnestly recommend the perusal of it to all our readers."-Baptist Mag.

An Essay on Truth, the Causes of Error, &c., by the late Rev. AND. FULLER. 2. On the State of the World at Christ's appearance, by Mrs. H. ADAMS, original Editor of the Work.

The Third London Edit. with the Improvements of the Fourth American Edition, and many new articles and corrections throughout. In 1 vol. 8vo. with a fine copper-plate Engraving of the Reformers, 10s. 6d. boards.

"This book has passed through several editions in America. We must confess we have derived great information and entertainment from the perusal of it; and think we may safely recommend it as an excellent work of reference, for an account of the many different sects and persuasions to be found in the world. We have carefully examined those articles that have reference to the most important controversies, and differences of opinion among believers; and we must say, they seem to us to be drawn up with great impartiality and correctness; and the work is certainly valuable in admitting the representations of sectarists themselves.--We cannot conclude without again expressing how much satisfaction we have derived from the perusal of this volume, which contains more than we could have expected to find in it."

British Critic, Vol. XXVII. p. 437.

"The copious title of this publication will afford our readers a general idea of the nature of the work: they will be led to form an expectation of much useful matter, and they will not be disappointed."-Evan. Mag.

"This work is written with no ordinary degree of ability; it evinces much labour as well as skill, and has rarely, if ever, been surpassed in candour and impartiality."-Evan. Register.

"In perusing a number of leading articles contained in the work before us, we have observed that they have no tendency to lower the standard of Religious truth; nor consequently to confound matters of faith with those of opinion. The Essay on Truth, by the late Rev. A. Fuller, greatly enhances its value. The Appendix, containing‘A brief Sketch of the State of Religion throughout the World,' forms a highly interesting part of the volume."-Methodist Mag.

"The Editor has taken much pains to improve the work by corrections and additions; the numerous references to authorities are highly valua ble."-Bapt. Mag.

LETTERS to WM. WILBERFORCE, Esq. M.P. To which is added, an Answer to Melancthon, by Amicus Protestans. Svo. 5s. 6d. sewed.

"The conduct of Mr. W., in advocating the Catholic Claims, appears to this Writer highly inconsistent; and this he endeavours to prove by

showing that modern Catholics are just as inimical to the spread of the Scriptures and religious knowledge as were their predecessors."-Evan. Mag. 1822.

A SECOND SERIES of LETTERS to W. WILBERFORCE, Esq. and his defender Melancthon. 8vo. 5s. 6d. sewed.

A DICTIONARY of RELIGIOUS OPINIONS; or, a Concise Account of the various Denominations into which the Christian Profession is divided; including Biographical Sketches of the Founders of the different Denominations, and a view of the Ecclesiastical Government peculiar to each Sect. A New Edition, revised, corrected, and enlarged. By W. JONES, Author of the Biblical Cyclopædia, and History of the Christian Church; with Portraits of the most eminent Reformers. 12mo. 5s. bds.

"The description of each sect is given with accuracy and candour; and we can fairly say, that it is, upon the whole, the best book of the kind that we have seen."-British Critic.

The SCRIPTURE TESTIMONY examined and confirmed by Plain Arguments; or, an Appeal to Reason and Common Sense, for the Truth of the Holy Scriptures, in Two Discourses, by DAVID JENNINGS, D.D. With a Preface by B. CRACKNELL, D.D. 1s. sewed.

"These excellent discourses are so well known, and have been so highly esteemed, that it will be sufficient barely to announce their republication. Though many persons have written on the subject, none have treated it in a more easy and familiar manner than Dr. J. And we doubt not but it will please God, who made the preaching and first pub. lication of these sermons acceptable and successful, still to accompany them with his blessing." Evan. Mag.

The REFLECTOR, or Christian Advocate; in which the united efforts of Modern Infidels and Socinians are detected and exposed; illustrated by numerous Examples: being the substance of the Bushby Lectures, delivered on appointment of the Lord Bishop of London, in the Parish Churches of St. James's, Clerkenwell, and St. Antholin's, Watling-street, by the Rev. S. PIGGOTT, A.M. Rector of Dunstable, Bedfordshire, Chaplain to Lord Viscount Charlton, and Author of " A Guide for Families in Sacred Truth," &c. 8vo. 10s. bds.

"On the various attempts which have been made in modern times to subvert Christianity, and to bring Revelation into contempt, Mr. Piggott makes many spirited observations; and the survey which he takes of the subject is at once comprehensive and just; its language is clear, and its arguments convincing: of its practical tendency no doubt can be entertained. We consider its merits to be highly respectable, and, as such, wish it an extensive circulation."-Imperial Magazine, No. 69.

MEMOIRS of His Late Majesty GEORGE III.; written with a special View to the Progress of Religion, Civil and Religious Liberty, Benevolence, and general Knowledge, during the late Reign.

Also, by the same Author,

A BRIEF MEMOIR of her late Majesty QUEEN CHARLOTTE; with a Poetical Appendix, and fine Portrait. 2s. 6d. bds. Together, in 1 vol. 18mo. bds. 7s.

"This portable volume presents to the view of the public, a portrait of our late venerable Sovereign, drawn, we think, with accuracy, taste, and spirit.. We give credit to the Author when he says, that in selecting and arranging the numerous facts of which this narrative is composed, the greatest care has been taken to insert only the most authentic and the most interesting.' We perceive, also, that this is not a mere panegyric on the Royal character, the writer having carefully avoided every thing like exaggeration ; yet, he justly observes, the private and domestic life of the King contains so many bright points, that a faithful narrative of facts has much the appearance of eulogy, and forms the best encomium on his character."-Evan. Mag.

MEMOIRS of MRS. HARRIET NEWELL, Wife of the Rev. S. Newell, American Missionary to India, who died Nov. 1812, aged Nineteen Years. Also a Sermon on her Death, an Account of the American Missionary Society, and a Monody on her Death. By LEONARD WOODS, D.D. of North America, 18mo. 2s. 6d. bds., with a Portrait.

"These Memoirs of Mrs. N. are derived chiefly from her own writings, and exhibit the character of a pious, intelligent, and zealous young woman, eminently qualified for her station....An American correspondent informs us that the life and letters of Mrs. N. are read with great interest, and the sale is greater than of any work ever published in that country. Poor Mrs. N. is doing more to serve the Missionary cause, by her death, than she could have done by her life."-Evan. Mag.

By JOSEPH IVIMEY, with Engravings, and Historical Notes. 12mo. 3s. 6d. bds.

"This publication is ingenious, abounds with interesting notices of Nonconformity at different periods, and breathes a very laudable spirit of religious liberty."-Methodist Mag. Oct. 1827.

"Justice to the writer requires us to state, that his object is not merely to amuse and entertain the reader. The leading doctrines of evangelical truth are clearly stated, practical religion is powerfully enforced, and many a way-worn pilgrim will be refreshed by the exhibition of the joy and fervour of Christian experience.

"The work is embellished with six neat engravings, and is well printed."-Baptist Mag.

We can most cordially recommend it as highly calculated to promote the interests of pure and undefiled religion."

SACRED MUSIC.

PSALMO-DOXOLOGIA; a new and Complete Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes. The whole set for three or four Voices, with an Accompaniment (in small Notes) for the Organ or Piano-Forte, and adapted as well to public Worship as private Use. 12s. bound, or in twelve half-bound Numbers, 1s. each.

"Psalmo-Doxologia is a collection of between three and four hundred Psalm Tunes and Hymns, containing all the established old melodies, and a great many new ones; including several of the best and most popular Airs of Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Pleyel, Beethoven, &c. &c., arranged for either three or four voices, with an Accompaniment for the Organ, in small notes, instead of a figured bass. This is the most copious collection that we have ever seen for the price, and musically speaking, is better executed than works of this kind generally are. The introduction of the delightful airs of the great German composers must relieve congregations from the fatiguing reiteration of the old tunes, which, though certainly excellent in themselves, become, like any other good thing, extremely dull if too often repeated, and unless relieved by a mixture of novelty. A slight biographical sketch of each composer, and a brief history of Psalmody, are prefixed to the collection. The former is in some few instances erroneous, but it gives a considerable share of interest to the work."-Harmonicon, No. 7, July 1823.

"We consider this as the most complete volume of valuable Tunes for Public Worship that has ever come under our Notice."

Home Mission. Mag.

"This work contains 347 Tunes, in 282 pages; besides a brief Introduction to Psalmody, and a biographical Index of the Authors; including Arne, Arnold, Bach, Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Playel, &c. besides the Authors of the

Locke Collection, and other popular Psalmodists. We hope this will be found a valuable addition to Psalm and Hymn Tunes, both for the parlour and the chapel, and supercede much of the trash now in use. The size of the book agrees with Dr. Rippon's."-Evan. Mag.

"The Tunes, (in number 347) are intended for Public Worship as well as private use: such is the design of the publication. The execution, as we are informed by a competent judge of Musical Science, is, on the whole, judicious and respecta. ble. In the Compiler's introductory observations on the proper style of Sacred Music, and especially of that intended for Congregational use, we entirely concur.-Methodist Mag.

The REV. DR. ADDINGTON'S Popular Collection of PSALM and HYMN TUNES, chiefly in Three Parts, adapted to the Metres of DR. WATTS'S PSALMS and HYMNS, and the various Collections and Supplements now in Use. The Fifteenth Edition, containing all the most approved Tunes in the Three volumes, in One. To which is prefixed, a brief Introduction to Psalmody, and a complete Index. 7s. 6d. half-bound.

The present proprietors of this work have employed a competent Editor to reduce the three volumes into one. Many of the Plates have been re-engraved; the Tunes which originally belonged to the first volume have (with some few exceptions) been restored, and the most popular and useful Tunes in the second volume added, with a few from the third; comprising now 270 Choice Tunes, with a brief Introduction to Psalmody prefixed.
