"Krummacher has become well known by his Elijah' and Dew of Israel' to American christians. There is a peculiarity of happy illustration and fine imagery, combined with the richest vein of christian experience and evangelical sentiment. We think this volume fully equal to any heretofore published, and that it will fully gratify the admirers of Krummacher It contains a series of discourses-1 Christ and the first Sinners; II Moses' Wish, Exod. xxxiii. 12--18; III. David, and the Man of God, 2 Sam. vii. 17-27; IV. Bethlehem, Micah v. 2; V. The Blood of Sprinkling Exodus xii. 13; VI. The New Creature, 2 Cor. v 14-17; VII.

"We have been much gratified at the appearance of this work. It forms a most valuable addition to the Presbyterian Biography of our country.

THE INQUIRER DIRECTED to an Experimental and Practical View of the Work of the Holy Spirit. By Rev. Octavius Winslow. 1 vol. 12mo.

"The elevated style of the writer, and the pure spirit that pervades every sentence from his pen-the clear method and orderly arrangement he observes in the presentation of his views, the combined order and delicacy with which he presses home truth upon the conscience, all conspire to render the volume highly acceptable to the christian community; it is, moreover, opportune in its appearance, it is particularly seasonable now, when the people of God have more occasion, if possible, than ever, (and it is hoped disposition also,) to inquire, Lord! what wilt thou have me to do?" Religion languishes; few come to the solemn feasts of Zion; the voice of anxious inquiry is rarely heard in our churches; the multitude' were never more fortified in their careless indifference to the claims of the gospel. And why all this? Find we not a sufficient cause in the under reliance placed on means and measures, while the office work of the Holy Spirit is overlooked, and the entire dependance of the church on her Head is

forgotten? Perhaps we mistake. Let there be great searchings of heart. Such searchings will be aided by earnest attention to the work under notice."-Boston Recorder.

"This is one of a series by the same author-Rev. Octavius Winslow-having for its object the dissemination of more correct, practical and efficacious views of the plan devised by Almighty wisdom and benevolence for the redemption and regeneration of mankind."-Com. Advertiser.

"This is a delightful book ;- modest and unpretending, but imbued with the spirit of the gospel. The author commences, as he should do, with a conclusive scriptural proof, of the divinity and personality of the Holy Spirit. He then passes on to an experimental and practical view' of the work of the Spirit as a quickener. This subject he presents in two divisions; first, the state of the heart, the influence of the Spirit, and the evidences of his operations, before and in the act of re generation; and second, the same class of topics, in their application to the soul after conversion. The next chapter is on the Indwelling of the Spirit; the believer a Temple of the Holy Ghost. The remaining subjects are:-- The Sanctification of the Spirit, showing the necessity and nature of true holiness,-the sealing of the Spirit,-the Spirit the author of prayer, -and the Spirit a comforter,-the broken heart bound up. The address is affectionate and winning, yet closely practical. It strongly reminds one of the manner of Flavel and Doddridge, and others of the olden time. The discriminations of character are close and happy and the whole book evinces a deep knowledge of the heart, and a familiar, practical, and divinely illumined acquaintance with the scriptures."- Biblical Repertory and Princeton Review THE JUBILEE MEMORIAL, being the Sermons, Meetings, Presentations, and full account of the Jubilee commemorating the Rev. Wm. Jay's fifty years' ministry at Argyle Chapel, Bath.

"The sermons and addresses were taken down in short hand, and revised by their respective authors. It was resolved, at the Jubilee, to send a copy to each of the grand children of Mr. Jay in America; and the present publication is from one of these copies. The whole will be read with pleasure and profit by all into whose hands the volume may fall "-- Congregational Observer.

"The name of Rev. Wm. Jay is very precious to thousands in this country as well as in England. Some of his children and grand children are here. And he has, doubtless, not a few spiritual children among us. It is well, therefore, to republish, for their gratification, a memorial' that has excited a deep sensation on the other side of the Atlantic, -it is too full of instruction to be lost, on any one who shall even glance at its pages. It would give us pleasure to indicate some of these instructions, and dwell on the joyous spectacle of a pastor reposing sweetly on the affections of his flock, after having led them for fifty years in green pastures and beside still waters-but it is unnecessary. We trust that many will read and understand, and derive abundant profit from the example thus furnished, of ministerial fidelity and its earthly rewards. "-- Boston Recorder.

"The title of this book is sufficiently indicative of its contents. Being a full and detailed account of the proceedings at the celebration in Bath, in honor of the estimable Mr. Jay, with the sermons and addresses which the occasion called forth. We wish instances of the
