APPLETON & CO., 549 & 551 551 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, Publish this day: I. HISTORY OF OPINIONS ON THE SCRIPTURAL By EDWARD Beecher, D.D., author of The Conflict of Ages." One volume, 12mo, $1.25. The momentous question of future retribution is here historically discussed with an earnestness and deliberation due to its transcendent importance. The main interest of the inquiry necessarily centres in the doom of the wicked. Will it be annihilation? Ultimate restoration to holiness and happiness? Endless punishment? or, Is it out of our power to decide which of these views is the truth? The discussion is intensified by being narrowed to the meaning of a single word, aionios. The opinions of those to whom Christ spoke, and how they understood him, are vital questions in the argument; and, to solve them, the opinions and modes of speech of preceding ages must be attentively weighed, for each age is known to have moulded the opinions and use of words of its successor. Hence, Dr. Beecher has found himself compelled to "trace the development of thought and language from the outset to the days of Christ, then to inquire into the import of his words, in the light of all preceding ages; and, lastly, to trace the development of opinion downward through the Christian ages.' This work increases in interest as the Prince advances in experience, knowledge, and influence. Few readers will regret the fulness with which the period now reached is treated. Three years are covered by this volume, but they were the years of the Crimean war, the antecedents and circumstances of which were followed with great attention by the Prince; and the papers left by him, especially his most dignified_ reply to the King of Prussia's private letter of March, 1854, are exceedingly interesting just now. In sharing the dominant English policy of the time, the Prince had to quarrel with many of his own kindred and friends; and the drafts of letters in his handwriting, though signed by the Queen, as well as his own avowed correspondence, show what plain language he used to exalted personages. One side of his character comes out with quite new force in this volume-his thorough naturalization. Here is abundant proof of the constant zeal and tact with which he did the peculiar and important work that devolved upon him, as a sort of royal diplomatist, a personal agent of the Crown in its dealings with foreign courts and the English people.

"The present commentary may in many respects claim to be considered as new in its design and construction, and as an attempt to supply a need which has been long and seriously felt by meditative readers of God's Holy Word. "These, then, are the two broad classes of readers-those who doubt the full authority of Scripture, but would rejoice to have those doubts dissipated, and that much larger class that (by God's blessing) doubt not, but desire more fully to realize and to understand; these are the two classes who have been ever present to the thoughts of the writers of this commentary, and for whom especially they have undertaken this work."-From the Preface by Bishop Ellicott. Lectures on Preaching. Delivered before the Divinity School of Yale College, in January and February, 1877, by the Rev. PHILLIPS BROOKS. Fourth Thousand. 12mo, 281 pages. $1.50. "These are admirable lectures. Nothing better of the kind, nothing more really helpful, has ever appeared. No candidate for holy orders, no theological student, no clergyman, can read the first three lectures without being impressed with the solemnity and the blessedness of the preacher's work."-Churchman. "We do not hesitate to say that they are of more practical value than any work of the sort we have ever seen. It is a book to be read for the feeling it awakens, but feeling so lofty that it is one with wisdom and truth."—Literary World. "Will be found as useful to young laymen as to young clergymen. Their counsels, with certain changes in detail, are as applicable to the pursuits of business life, in whatever vocation, as to the duties of the pastorate. It is a book we commend to every young man and woman desirous of efficient work and noble living." Christ in the Christian Year, and in the Life of Man. Sermons for Laymen's Reading.

"While the book will be found highly suitable for laymen's reading, whether in public or private, the clergy will find it, like the previous volumes of the same author, full of food for thought."-Church Journal. "From one of the ablest divines and ripest scholars of the Church of America."-Boston Traveller. "The volume will have, no doubt, a much wider mission than that of being read in churches. We hope it will be read in Christian homes as well, for its deepest worth cannot be seen except as it is carefully studied. The work is one which as regards tone and thought and diction, will compare favorably with the best productions of contemporary divines in the English Church."-Churchman.; Companions for the Devout Life.
