REV. ALEXANDER B. GROSART,

KINROSS.

I. ORIGINAL.

1. Small Sins. Third Edition, with Additions, royal 16mo, cloth antique, price is. 6d. Pp. 119.

There is in it both genius and judgment, good writing, good learning, and good gospel.' -DR JOHN BROWN, author of Rab and his Friends,' &c. &c., in the Scotsman, June 4, 1863.

'Mr Grosart's noble sermon.'-REV. C. H. SPURGEON, appended to an extract from it in his Illustrated Almanack' for 1864.

"The theology of the book is puritanic; the thinking, masculine and weighty; the illustrations picturesque, and drawn from a wide range of observation and reading; and the appeals to the conscience are often both unexpected and very pungent. The author's bril

liancy (and there is not a little of it) is like a rifle-flash, which tells that a bullet is on its way.'-The Freeman.

"With all the writer's brilliant opulence of imagery, there is no lack of plain, direct speaking to the conscience.'-British and Foreign Evangelical Review (Quarterly), July 1863. 2. Jesus Mighty to Save; or, Christ for all the World, and all

the World for Christ. Third Edition, with Additions, royal 16mo, cloth antique,
price 2s.
[In preparation.

'Not only is the author an excellent scholar in the languages belonging to his profession, and possessed of more than ordinary insight into modern literature, but he appears to have acquired a knowledge of the old English and Scottish divinity, especially of the puritan order, which is as rare as it is rich and profitable. The page everywhere sparkles with diamonds gathered from these mines. And when you sit down to read his books through, you find that this knowledge is only the vesture of a thinking power, worthy of such association, and still more of a spiritual purpose, which endears the writer insensibly but steadily as you go along.'-The Spectator.

3. The Prince of Light and the Prince of Darkness in Conflict; or, The Temptation of Jesus. Newly Translated, Explained, Illustrated, and Applied. Crown 8vo, pp. xxxiv. and 360. Price 5s. [New Edition in preparation. 'It is exhaustive of the subject, and yet, like every book from an original mind, it is suggestive after all. The whole is treated with full learning, as well as with clear native discernment.'-THOMAS AIRD, Esq., in the Dumfries Herald, March 4, 1864. 'It will win for itself a place, and that a permanent one.'-British and Foreign Evangelical Review, April 1864.

4. The Lambs All Safe; or, The Salvation of Children. Third Edition, with considerable Additions. 18mo, cloth antique, price is.

‘A quaint, pithy, and godly little book, on a scriptural basis.'-Evangelical Christendom. 5. Drowned: What if it had been me? A Sermon in Memorial of the Death by drowning in Lochleven of Mr John Douglas, precentor. Third Edition (3000), crown 8vo, price 4d.

(Very few remain.) 150 Copies, Small Paper, post 8vo, cloth. Price 3s. 6d. (All disposed of.) In an introduction I give account of the remarkable little discovery that it has fallen to me to make: to wit, the non-Baconian, and actual, authorship of 'The Paradoxes.' I describe the different editions. Thereafter will be found illustrations of the evil influence against Bacon of his supposed authorship of these 'Paradoxes' as misunderstood, more especially in France and Germany; and also of how the real authorship sweeps away the abounding guess-work as to their meaning and design. In a Memoir of HERBERT PALMER, I have brought together, from all accessible sources, in print and manuscript, such facts and memorials as remain.

Memoirs of

16. Unknown Book by Richard Baxter, Author of The Saint's Everlasting Rest.' 'The Grand Question Resolved,-What must we do to be SAVED? Instructions for a HOLY LIFE: By the late Reverend Divine, Mr RICHARD BAXTER. Recommended to the Bookseller a few days before his Death, to be immediately printed for the good of souls. London: Printed for Tho. Parkhurst at the Bible and Three Crowns in Cheapside. 1692.' [In preparation. This priceless little tractate by the great Nonconformist was unknown to Calamy, and appears to have been overlooked by all Baxter's biographers. It has all its saintly author's best characteristics-richly scriptural, fervent to passion of entreaty, pungent, pointed, and unmistakeable. Our copy was formerly in the famous collection of Dr Bliss, who deemed it apparently unique. It is proposed to reprint it in a limited private impression. The price will be 3s. 6d. Prefixed will be an Introduction, containing an annotated Bibliographical and Anecdotical Catalogue from actual copies of the numerous books and tractates of Baxter, much more full than any extant, and purged from errors. ***Persons wishing copies of the privately-printed and unpublished books, viz. Nos. 9, 10, and 16, will please address Mr Grosart.
