SERMONS ON THE DOCTRINES AND THE MEANS OF GRACE, AND ON THE SEVEN WORDS FROM THE CROSS. By GEORGE TREVOR, M.A., Canon of York. 12mo., cloth, 68.

"A volume of excellent, sound sermons, admirably suited to answer the end for which they were preached and are published, the promotion of practical piety."-John Bull.

The sermons are manly and earnest in their resolution to look the truth in the face, and to enforce it against a prejudiced resistance, of which the writer evidently knows but too much; and they shew, moreover, a true conception of the tone by which that resistance is to be met."-Scottish Epis copal Journal.

PLAIN SERMONS. By the late Rev. EDWARD BLENCOWE. Three vols. fcap. 8vo., cloth, 78. 6d. Each sold separately.

"Their style is simple; the sentences are not artfully constructed; and there is an utter absence of all attempt at rhetoric. The language is plain Saxon language, from which the men on the wall' can easily gather what it most concerns them to know.

Again, the range of thought is not high and difficult, but level and easy for the wayfaring man to follow. It is quite evident that the author's mind was able and cultivated, yet, as a teacher to men of low estate, he makes no display of eloquence or argument.

"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength and a warmth and a life in his mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which shew that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say,-'I believe, and therefore have I spoken.'

"His affectionateness too is no less conspicuous: this is shewn in the gentle, earnest, kind-hearted tone of every Sermon in the book. There is no scolding, no asperity of language, no irritation of manner about them. At the same time there is no over-strained tenderness, nor affectation of endearment; but there is a considerate, serious concern about the peculiar sins and temptations of the people committed to his charge, and a hearty desire and determined effort for their salvation."-Theologian.

"Plain, short, and affectionate discourses."-English Review.

A HARMONY OF THE SACRAMENTS AND ORDINANCES OF CHRIST. A Course of Sermons, shewing how the blessedness of the Christian life consists in union with Christ through a continued use of the different means of Grace. By the Rev. C. D. KEBBEL, B.A. 12mo. cloth, 58.

[ocr errors]

"Mr. Gibson, of Furneux Pelham, has printed, under the title of Testimony of the Church to Holy Baptism,' a very complete catena of authorities, patristic, ritual, and reformed, on the subject. The passages we observe are translated, and the work is creditable both to the scholarship and Churchman. ship of the writer. It brings together into an available compass what has hitherto been found in detached and often inaccessible quarters."-Christian

Remembrancer.

SHORT SERVICES FOR FAMILY WORSHIP. Arranged chiefly from the Book of Common Prayer. With a Prefatory Address. By JOHN GIBSON, B.D., Vicar of Brent with Furneux Pelham, Herts; late Fellow and Tutor of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. 12mo., cloth, 2s.

The aim of this selection is to furnish a set of Services that will take in all the great subjects of Family Prayer, and so short that the busiest household may have time for its devout utterance. It will be found suitable for those who have hitherto neglected the duty of Family Prayer.

SACRAMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY; or, the Testimony of Scripture to the teaching of the Church on Holy Baptism, with especial reference to the case of Infants, and Answers to Objections. New edition, 6d. ; post free, 10d.

This Tract is written to supply a want felt by the writer, as a Parish Minister, of a short treatise in which the doctrine of the Church, that all infants are regenerated in Holy Baptism, should be proved by reference to Scripture alone, and the objections commonly urged against it fully and fairly stated, and answered on principles which the objectors themselves acknowledge. It has received the approbation of seven of our own Bishops, and two of the American Episcopal Church.

"We have not met with so convenient and comprehensive a tract on the Baptismal question as the Sacrament of Responsibility.' Without pledging ourselves to every position maintained in a discussion of fifty pages, we may safely assert that all the prominent objections to the orthodox doctrine are stated and temperately considered. For an educated Dissenter or Calvinist really desirous of seeing what might be alleged out of Holy Scripture in favour of the Church's view, nothing could be more admirably adapted."

"We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say of sermons published at the request of parishioners, that they justify the respect paid to them, and appear to us in somewhat the same light as we should suppose they seemed to those who listened to and admired them.
