MEMOIR AND REMAINS

OF

Rev.. ROBERT MURRAY MCHEYNE,

MINISTER OF ST. PETER'S CHURCH, DUNDEE.

BY REV. ANDREW A. BONAR, D.D.

How admirable an edition is this! the best five-shilling octavo you ever saw. And it is made richer than of old by new matter from the venerable editor's pen.'—Expository Times.

* Among the many "ideas” which are rapidly bringing Messrs. Oliphant, Anderson, & Ferrier to the front rank among publishers, none strikes me as more happy than the beautiful editions they are issuing of religious classics. The latest is Dr. Andrew Bonar's famous "Memoir and Remains of Robert Murray M'Cheyne.” I happen to have the first edition in two small black volumes. It was issued in 1844, and the circulation must have considerably exceeded a hundred thousand. But no copy is so good to use as the latest, which is a model book in every way,--binding, paper, and type,--and which is enriched by additional notes from the pen of the revered author, It will rank as a standard edition of an immortal book.'--The British Weekly.

This issue of a book which has been so widely valued as to take the rank of an Evangelical classic is enriched with facsimiles of M'Cheyne's handwriting, while the venerable author has introduced some additional information on certain points. We wish the book a fresh career of usefulness in its new form.'-Critical Review.

LETTERS OF SAMUEL RUTHERFORD.

Price 10s. 6d. New Edition. With a Sketch of his Life. Notices

of his Correspondents, Glossary, and List of his Works. By Rev. ANDREW A. BONAR, D.D., Author of Memoir and Remains

of Robert Murray M'Cheyne.' DR. MARCUS Dons in the British Weekly says :

'In its own department of devotional literature, Rutherford's Letters stand supreme. For warmth of feeling they are unmatched. ... The present edition is, as they say on school prizes, at once "præmium ac incitamentum," a tribute paid by the publishers to its past popularity, and a powerful incentive to its future fame. For in every respect this is a perfect edition. Not only is it very beautiful in its typography, but it is equipped with all an editor can do for it-a life of the author, biographical and topographical notes, elucidating the circumstances of his correspondents. and explanations of difficult words and expressions. All lovers of good men and good books should have it.' MR. SPURGEON in Sword and Trowel says :

What a wealth of spiritual nourishment we have here for half a guinea ! Rutherford is beyond all praise of men. Like a strong-winged eagle he soareth into the highest heaven, and with unblenched eye he looketh into the mystery of love divine. There is, to us, a something mystic, awecreating, and superhuman about Rutherford's Letters. This is a noble volume, and we shall measure the soundness of Scotch religion very much by the sale of this work. . . . When we are dead and gone, let the world know that Spurgeon held Rutherford's Letters to be the nearest thing to inspiration which can be found in all the writings of mere men.'

RICHARD BAXTER said :

Hold off the Bible, such a book the world never saw.' Methodist Times says :

Dr. Bonar has rendered good service to the Church of Christ by publishing this admirable edition of these invaluable letters, and by writing his brief but clear account of Samuel Rutherford's life.'

RICHARD CECIL said :-
* He is one of my classics; he is a real original.'
