of the Camel is given, which has great interest. The value of the camel as a beast of burden is abundantly confirmed.--N.Y. EVANGELIST. IMPORTANT WORKS. ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES; or, The Bible presented under Distinct and Classified Heads or Topics. By JOHN EADIE, D.D., LL. D., Author of "Biblical Cyclopaedia," "Dictionary of the Bible," &c., &c. One volume, royal octavo, 836 pp. Cloth. $3.00; sheep, $3.50. _Just published._ The publishers would call the special attention of clergymen and others to some of the peculiar features of this great work. 1. It is a concordance of _subjects_, not of _words_. In this it differs from the common concordance, which, of course, it does not supersede. Both are necessary to the Biblical student. 2. It embraces all the topics, both secular and religious, which are naturally suggested by the entire contents of the Bible. In this it differs from Scripture Manuals and Topical Text-books, which are confined to religious or doctrinal topics. 3. It contains _the whole of the Bible without abridgment_, differing in no respect from the Bible in common use, except in the classification of its contents. 4. It contains a synopsis, separate from the concordance, presenting within the compass of a few pages a bird's-eye view of the whole contents. 5. It contains a table of contents, embracing nearly two thousand heads, arranged in alphabetical order. 6. It is much superior to the only other work in the language prepared on the same general plan, and is offered to the public at much less cost. The purchaser gets not only a _Concordance_, but also a _Bible_, in this volume. The superior convenience arising out of this fact,--saving, as it does, the necessity of having two books at hand and of making two references, instead of one,--will be readily apparent. The general subjects (under each of which there are a vast number of sub-divisions) are arranged as follows, viz.: Agriculture, Animals, Architecture, Army, Arms, Body, Canaan, Covenant, Diet and Dress, Disease and Death, Earth, Family, Genealogy, God, Heaven, Idolatry, Idols, Jesus Christ, Jews, Laws, Magistrates, Man, Marriage, Metals and Minerals, Ministers of Religion, Miracles, Occupations, Ordinanc
