124 GRAND ST. NEW YORK.

Copies sent by Mail Postpaid on Receipt of Price.

I.

A HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE, AND OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. From the Roman conquest. By Prof. G. L. CRAIK. 2 vols.. Svo. Printed at the Riverside Press, on tinted paper. $7.00; in half calf, or morocco. $12.

The New Englander for January, 1864, says it is

"The most extended, learned, and critical work of the kind in the language." The American Theological Review for January, 1864, writes:

"It is an excellent annual, well written, clear in arra: gement, and generally discriminating in criticism. Copious specimens, especially from rarer works, increase its interest and value; it is intended as a book for popular reading and use."

The Congregationalist Quarterly for January, 1864:

"These volumes are of great value, both in the comprehensiveness of their survey of the field, and the good judgment and sound critical ability exhibit

ed in them."

II.

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE. By Rev. Wm. G. T. SHEDD, D.D. In 2 vols, 8vo. Printed on laid tinted paper. Price $6. In half calf, or half morocco, $10.

The N. Y. Independent says.

"Dr. Shedd has produced a History of Christian Doctrine, which is an honor to himself, and which will have a permanent place in the theological literature of the country."

The Presbyterian Standard says:

"We hold that this is the most important contribution that has been made to our theological literature during the present age. The British Churches, with their learning, have produced nothing to be compared in value with this great analytical history. It is vastly superior to the work of Hagenbach, who stands at the head of the German writers. Dr. Shedd has brought the Church under weighty obligations by his publication of this work."

III.

THE FEDERALIST. With Bibliographical and Historical introduction and notes. By HENRY B. DAWSON. Printed at the Riverside Press, on tinted paper, with portrait, 1 vol, octavo, 740 pages, in cloth, price $3.75; law sheep, $5; in half calf, $6.

From Judge Wm. D. Shipman, U. S. Court.

"No other edition of this great work can at all compare with yours, either in typographical beauty or accuracy and fulness of matter. and it will be dif ficult hereafter for any to surpass it, for you seem to have exhausted the materials which can shed light on its origin and the history of its publication." From Hon. James A. Hamilton, son of Gen. Hamilton, the principal author of The Federalist :

DOBBS FERRY, Jan. 2, 1864. As I have not had time to read your introduction, I can only say that it is published in a most accomplished manner; indeed, nothing could be better. I sincerely hope your labor will be requ.ted by a rapid and extended sale, which I will do all in my power to promote.

From the same gentleman, Jan. 9, 1864:

I beg to renew my thanks for your most valuable edition of that great work. Your introduction is most interesting. [See next page.

From the Atlantic Monthly for January.

"It is a book whose merit can hardly be overpraised. As a hook for the generality of readers, it far exceeds any previous work of the author in force, naturalness, and beauty, in vividness of description, and richness of style, and in that indefinable element of genius which envelops the most prosaic details in an atmosphere of refinement and grace."
