Works by the Rev. John Angell James.

THE TRUE CHRISTIAN.

By the Rev. JOHN ANGELL JAMES ADAMS. 1 vol. 18mo $0 50. "We opine that the publishers of this volume made an accurate calculation when they labelled these Addresses-stereotyped; for they are among the choice effusions which already have so highly benefited Christian society from the noble heart and richlyendowed mind of Mr. James. They are ministerial counsels to the members of his congre gation, and are offered as monthly epistles for a year, being twelve in number, and are thus entitled: Increased Holiness of the Church; Spirituality of Mind: Heavenly Mindedness; Assurance of Hope; Practical Religion seen in every thing: A Profitable Sabbath Christian Obligations; Life of Faith; Influence of elder Christians; Spirit of Prayer; Pr vate Prayer, and Self-Examination.'"-Christian Intelligencer.

With an Introduction by the Rev. WM.

THE YOUNG MAN FROM HOME.

In a series of Letters, especially directed for the Moral Advancement of Youth By the Rev. JOHN ANGELL JAMES. Tenth edition. 1 vol. 18mo. 37 cts "This work, from the able and prolific pen of Mr. James, is not inferior, we think, to any of its predecessors. It contemplates a young man at the most critical period of life, and meets him at every point as a guide in the paths of virtue, as a guard from the contagious influence of vice."-Albany Advertiser.

THE CHRISTIAN PROFESSOR, Addressed in a series of Counsels and Cautions to the Members of Christian Churches. By the Rev. JOHN ANGELL JAMES. 1 vol. 18mo. 62 cents. "The author remarks in this excellent volume: When I look into the New Testament and read what a Christian should be, and then look into the Church of God, and see what Christians are, I am painfully affected by observing the dissimilarity, and in my jealousy for the honour of the Christian profession, have made this effort, perhaps a feeble one, and cer tainig an anxious one, to remove its blemishes, to restore its impaired beauty, and thus raise to reputation.'

THE ANXIOUS ENQUIRER AFTER SALVATION Directed and Encouraged. By the Rev. JOHN ANGELL JAMES. 1 vol.

18mo. 37 cents.

Twenty thousand copies of this excellent little volume have already been sold, which fully attests the high estimation the work has attained with the religious community.

HAPPINESS, ITS NATURE AND SOURCES.

By the Rev. J. A. JAMES. 1 vol. 32mo. 25 cents.

"This is written in the excellent author's best vein. He has, with a searching fidelity, exposed the various unsatisfying expedients by which the natural heart seeks to attain the great end and aim of all-happiness, and with powerful and toueting exhortations directed it to the never-failing source of all good."-Evangelist.

THE WIDOW DIRECTED

To the Widow's God. By the Rev. JOHN A. JAMES. 1 vol. 18mo. 37 cents. "The book is worthy to be read by others besides the class for which it is especially designed; and we doubt not that it destined to come as a friendly visitor to many a house of mourning, and as a healing balm to many a wounded heart."-N. Y. Observer.

The first lecture is introductory; the second is scientifically descriptive of the principal topics of geological science; the third includes a research into the creation of our globe; the fourth and fifth lectures comprise an examination of the deluge; the sixth discusses the apparent dissonance between the decisions of geologists, and the hitherto received interpretation of Scripture, with an additional exposition of the diluvial heory; the seventh is devoted to illustration of the method to interpret the Scriptures, so that they may harmonize with the discoveries of geology; the eighth is the peroration of the whole disquisition.

LETTERS TO A DAUGHTER

Ical Subjects. By W. B. SPRAGUE, D.D. Fourth edition, revised and enlarged. 1 vol. 12mo. 75 cents.

LECTURES TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

By W. B. SPRAGUE, D.D. With an Introductory Address. By SAMUEL MILLER, D.D. Fourth edition. 1 vol. 12mo. 87 cents.

The writings of Dr. Sprague are too well known, and too highly estimated by the Christian community generally, to require any other encomium than is furnished by their own merits; for this reason it is thought unnecessary to subjoin the favourable testimonies borne to their utility and excellence by the whole circle of the periodical press of this country, and the fact, that they have each passed through several editions in England, sufficiently attests the estimation in which they are held abroad.

SPIRITUAL CHRISTIANITY. Lectures on Spiritual Christianity. By ISAAC TAYLOR, author of "Spiritual Despotism," &c. &c. 1 vol 12mo. 75 cents.

"This work is the production of one of the most gifted and accomplished minds of the present age. If some of his former productions may have been thought characterized by too much metaphysical abstraction, and in some instances, by speculations of doubtful importance the present volume is, we think, in no degree liable to this objection. It is indeed distinguished for doop thought and accurate discrimination: and whoever would read it to advantage must task his faculties in a much higher degree, than in reading ordinary books: and yet it contains nothing which an ordinary degree of intelligence and application may not readily comprehend. The view which it gives of Christianity, both as a system of truth and a system of duty, is in the highest degree instructive; and its tendencies are not less to quicken the intellectual faculties, than to direct and elevate the moral sensibilities. We have no doubt that it will be read with great interest by those who read to find materials for thought, and that it is destined to exert a most important influence, espe craily on the more intellectual classes in the advancement of the interests of truth and piety."-Albany Evening Journal
