22. A Man. By Rev. J. D. Bell. Philadelphia: James Challen & Son. 1860.

If the title of this book is indefinite, its contents are not. It is divided into two parts; each part having several papers; and each paper several articles,—the whole classification being logical alike in form and in fact. We have a paper on Representative Invalids, another on the Senses, another on the Thinker, another on Tears: Then follow successively papers on Aspiration, Genius, the Inventor, and the Three Inspirations— embracing the poet, the orator, and the hero. "A Man" is indeed a "many-sided" creature, and it takes much philosophy to make a complete analysis of him in his nature, his infirmities, his capabilities, and his work. The author has been a studious reader; and his book proves that he knows how to make his attainments effective. The book abounds in wit, wisdom and wholesome advice.

23. Memorials of Thomas Hood. Collected, Arranged, and Edited by his Daughter. With a Preface and Notes by his Son. Illustrated with Copies from his own Sketches. In two volumes. Boston: Ticknor & Fields. 1860. pp. 310, 327.

Who will not rejoice at the reception of these Memorials of the inimitable punster. Memorials they indeed are, for from the beginning to the end, they are characteristic of the genius of that wonderful humorist, who found it difficult ever to be grave, but who was never buffoonish-in whom fun in its most etherial purity, seemed to dwell personified. Thomas Hood is better known through his writings than any modern author with perhaps the single exception of Charles Lamb; and with the same exception, no one is remembered with more sincere affection. He was the most kindly of humorists, and sadness and complaining fled before him as dew before the sun. And yet his life had in it much of severe trial. It was beset at every turn with obstacles, pecuniary and social, that would have broken down a less resolute and persevering spirit. Strange to say, his most humorous pieces were written during the season of his greatest troubles. His closing years brought trials that moved the sympathies of his friends, yet he himself was habitually cheerful, and his literary life flowed on in song and humor. The volumes before us have been prepared with filial affection; and with occasional exceptions, a remarkable exemption from those trivialities which the partiality of near relations too often magnifies into matters of importance. We shall receive few books the reading of which will give us so much pleasure.

Living Words.

BY REV. E. H. CHAPIN, D. D.

The subscriber has published a work of unprecedented interest and worth, consisting of OVER ONE THOUSAND SELECTIONS from the works of this eminent divine.

In this collection the admirers of Dr. Chapin will find those glowing passages at which they paused and lingered or turned back to reperuse as they read his writings, or which have thrilled them as they listened to his voice, together with numerous aphorisms, sentences and paragraphs collected from his orations, speeches, extemporaneous sermons and unpublished lectures: making in all the most rich and varied entertainment to which the reading public has for a long time been invited.

In these extracts-varying from a single line to two and a half pages, though mostly very brief-are found the breathings of a Catholic and Christian spirit, the dictates of a genuine philosophy and wisdom, unequalled eloquence of dietion and flashes of inimitable wit.

His ideas of God, Christ, Nature, Revelation, Life, Religion, Literature, Art. Science, Labor, Chivalry, Philosophy, Reform, Man, Woman, Freedom, Immortality, and every subject to which his vast and varied powers have been directed, are here brought together in that poetic form of statement and happy mode of illustration in which he so much excels all living men.

The whole has been selected and arranged by one whose sympathy with Dr. Chapin's views, admiration of his genius and careful study of his works, were excellent qualifications for the task. It is accompanied by a very full and perfect Index, by which the thought on any subject may readily be found, an Introduction by the Rev. T. S. King, and a most superb and accurate steel Engraving of the Author. It contains 360 pages, and issued in the very best style of Boston work.

The finest quality of paper, printing and binding will be found in this volume which will be sold at the low price of $1.00 per copy for which sum we will send the work by mail, post paid, to any place within 3000 miles. All orders should be sent directly to the Publisher,

A New and Enlarged Edition of

WHITTEMORE'S MODERN HISTORY OF UNIVERSALISM. The First edition of "THE MODERN HISTORY OF UNIVERSALISM," was issued in 1830-in a volume of about 430 pages, with large type, and consequently by its limited space, could not be considered as a complete History of the Doctrine. Facts connected with its History, required time and attention to bring them to light. With that determination of purpose which has always characterized the Author, he resolved (after the issue of the first edition,) to prepare as complete a History as could be made, and thus, thirty years has be labored, adding fact after fact to his store of information, until the work has now approached to completion, and the first volume is published by the sub

scriber.

No book has ever been published which commands a higher rank in the Literature of the Denomination, as a STANDARD THEOLOGICAL WORK. It is printed on fine paper, with clear type, and bound in the best style of Boston work. Price $1 per copy. Six copies for $5.

Agents wanted in all parts of the country, to sell the above work and all other Books published by the subscriber, a list of which will be furnished on application.

never was a time when we so much needed these terms carried out. Some of our subscribers owe for several volumes; all will therefore confer a very great favor by remitting the amount due us, on receipt of this number,-remembering this fact, that there is no margin for profit in publishing THE QUARTERLY; and the subscriber will be grateful if his patrons will heed this request. By so doing, a copy of the Register for 1861, will be sent post paid to A. TOMPKINS, Since our last issue, Circulars have been sent to all who owe $4 and upwards. Will those who have received them respond at once? BOSTON, April, 1861.

ALL WHO REMIT.

Special Notice to our Patrons.

The January "Quarterly" commenced Volume XVIII. We need more subscribers to sustain the work. Some who commenced their subscription a year or two since, have stopped, giving as an excuse, that they "only subscribed to help sustain it;" supposing that their subscription for one year would help to sustain it continually. To have the " Quarterly" prosper we must have at least One Thousand good subscribers, who will continue their subscriptions year after year. To continue the work we must have them now. There are hundreds of laymen in our denomination who are abundantly able to take the work, and to them we would appeal in behalf of the only medium through which our ablest minds can speak. Our aim is to make the " Quarterly" the receptacle of such valuable articles as are worthy of preservation, but which are too elaborate for publication in our weekly papers.

Now is the time to subscribe and commence with the first Number of the Eighteenth Volume. Will all who read this send us one or more good Subscribers. It is an easy matter for each Subscriber to get one more, and the aggregate will place the "Quarterly" on a permanent basis.

Will our clergymen, into whose hands this number may fall, take the trouble to get one or more new Subscribers, either by direct application or by a notice from the desk. The " Quarterly" is necessary to the welfare of our order, and should be better supported. Do not lay this aside until the work is done.

Premiums for New Subscribers.

As an inducement for our friends to assist in sustaining the" Quarterly" by precuring new subscribers, we will offer the following premiums to any of our present subscribers who will send us additional names, the subscription price to accompany the same and eighteen cents in postage stamps to pay the postage on the premium books. For every new Subscriber one of either of the following Books:
