t preaching of an apostle, could reach and touch." CHRISTIAN CONSOLATIONS. Sermons designed to furnish Comfort and Strength to the Afflicted. By Rev. A.P. PEABODY, Pastor of the South Church, Portsmouth, N.H. 16mo. pp. 320. Price, 75 cents. "We welcome with almost as much surprise as satisfaction the appearance of a volume of discourses as excellent as those of Mr. Peabody. They are rich in thought, and of a high order of literary merit."--_N.A. Review._ THE GENERAL FEATURES OF THE MORAL GOVERNMENT OF GOD. By A.B. JACOCKS. 16mo. pp. 94. Price, 37-1/2 cents. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF NATURE: with an Outline of some of its recent Developments among the Germans, embracing the Philosophical Systems of Schelling and Hegel, and Oken's System of Nature. By J.B. STALLO, A.M., lately Professor of Analytical Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry in St. John's College, N.Y. 12mo. pp. 532. Price, $1.25. "It grapples with the most abstruse problems, and tugs fiercely to pluck out the heart of their mystery. No difficulty is too great for the author to meet, and none seems able to upset his theory. In truth, the book is one of the most profound ever published in Boston, and whatever opinion may be given regarding its principles, none can gainsay its vigor of understanding and reach of learning. The pertinent question, Who reads an American book? will change somewhat its meaning, if American literature takes the abstruse direction indicated by Mr. Stallo's volume. In that event, our books will remain unread, not because they are too shallow, but because they are too deep."--_Boston Courier._ MORNING AND EVENING MEDITATIONS, for every Day in a Month. By MISS CARPENTER (daughter of the late Dr. Lant Carpenter). 16mo. pp. 312. Price, 62-1/2 cents. "The compiler of this work has rendered good service to all possessed of Christian sympathies."--_Literary World._ "We like its spirit, and believe it will prove an excellent closet companion for those who will faithfully use it."--_Christian Register._ THE WORDS OF CHRIST; from the New Testament. 16mo. pp. 150. Price, 50 cents. "The compiler has most happily collected the words of Christ, so that, by the slightest reference possible to the tables, every text is ascertained under the several heads. It will prove very beneficial to the Biblical scholar, clergyman, and Sunday-school teacher."--_Christian World._ DISCOURSES ON THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT
