NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"A more interesting and instructive biographical work we have never
read. High as was our opinion of Channing,--of his intellectual and
moral worth,--the perusal of this work has convinced us that we never
duly estimated him.... His letters reveal his character more fully
than his sermons and essays. In his letters he lays his heart entirely
open; and no man, no matter what his opinions or prejudices, can read
them without saying,--'Channing was, indeed, a great and good
man,--one who lived for the world!'"--_Christian Messenger._

"Only one who was similar in purpose and temper,--who felt like
aspirations, hopes, and faith,--could at all do justice to the
distinguished subject. The present book must, therefore, we are sure,
give us Channing's character in its completeness, and true harmony and
proportions of parts."--_Salem Observer._

"These memoirs of a great and good man will, we apprehend, obtain an
uncommonly extensive circulation, not only among the denomination of
Christians in which he ranked himself, but with all who reverence
purity of character, an enlarged philanthropy, and eminent talents,
guided by virtue and piety."--_Salem Register._

"If we mistake not, now is the very time in God's providence when the
biography of William Ellery Channing could best make its appearance.
We have heard that a distinguished divine, of different speculative
religious views from Dr. Channing, has recently said,--'Channing is
greatly needed among us at this present moment.' Behold him here! We
doubt not that the biography thus prepared is to make a great
impression on the age that is passing, and that is yet to
come."--_Christian Register._
