Rosenmüller's Biblical Geography, Vol. 3. continued from last page. "The subject of Sacred Geography is one of which it is hard to say whether the importance or the difficulties be greater-but for such a work the author was eminently qualified; he brought to it a sound judgment, profound learning, and a mind exercised for the greater part of a long life in those studies which have a bearing on the due interpretation of Scripture. The result has been the production of a work which leaves nothing to be desired in relation to those departments of sacred science of which it treats."-Eclectic Review.

Neander's Church History.

Vols. XXXV. & XXXVI.—History of the Planting and Training of the Christian Church by the Apostles. By Dr. Augustus Neander, Professor of Theology in the University of Berlin, translated under the Author's sanction from the Third Edition of the original German, by J. E. Ryland. 2 Vols. Price 14s.

"The appearance of these Volumes will be hailed with welcome by every real lover of truth, and by every friend of theological enquiry, who is in any degree acquainted with the character of their author."-Christian Teacher.

The reputation of Neander stands so high as to render it quite superfluous to say any thing in recommendation of any work bearing his name: not only is he the antagonist of priesthood, but he stands forward still more prominently as the champion of evangelical truth, and of the genuineness and authority of the gospel narrative against the antichrist of rationalism, and, in his life of Christ, he has furnished the best answer and antidote to the daring attack of Strauss upon the historical facts which are the very basis of Christianity itself."-Patriot. Philological Tracts.

Vol. XXXVII.-Philological Tracts, Vol. 3,-containing, 1st. An Apologetic View of the Sinless Character of Jesus, by Dr. C. Ullmann. 2d. The Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Dead, by Dr. L. J.

BIBLICAL THEOLOGY.

In one volume 8vo. price 10s. 6d. bds.

The Rule of Faith: its Divine Authority, Interpretation, Sufficiency, and general Design; exhibited in the Language of the Original Record of Scripture, with a Literal Translation in parallel columns; and Notes, exegetical and illustrative, including the more Valuable Annotations of recent German writers. To which is added, a Bibliographical Guide to the principal Works in Systematic Theology, which have appeared in Germany and Holland during the last Century. also, various Disquisitions by De Wette, Reinhard, Neander, Hahn, Storr, Tittmann, Jahn, Winer, Stuart, and others. B the Rev. N. MORREN, A. M. Minister of the North Parish, Greenock "The object of Mr. Morren's present work is to combine systematic and exegetical theology; and the plan which he has adopted appears fitted to accomplish that object, as far as it can be accomplished. These two branches have never been, and can never be entirely separated. On every point of his system the systematic theologian produces Scripture proof; and in order to confirm and establish his proofs, he produces a critical and exegetical exposition of the passages advanced. His proofs are given solely in the language of Scripture. The passages produced are given in the original language, a literal translation is added, and to each section is appended a quantity of critical notes. The author has throughout given proof of a sound judgment, which is not to be misled, or dazzled by even the most ingenious sophistries. From the way in which the work is arranged, the text is fitted to serve as a most excellent common-place book to the student, who may, under the different propositions, arrange, in addition to the passages quoted by Mr. Morren, all the texts which he may consider as bearing upon the different subjects introduced. The notes, selected from the best sources, afford a mass of rich instruction to the student, and a treat of no ordinary value to the mature divine. The appendix contains disputations and essays by the writers mentioned in the title-page; and the greater part of them will be found to be highly valuable; and to the student, we are of opinion, they will prove both interesting and useful.”—Christian Instructor, Oct. 1835.

A Key to the Symbolical Language of Scrip. ture, by which numerous Passages are Explained and Illustrated: founded on the Symbolical Dictionary of Daubuz, with additions from Vitringa, Ewaldus, and others. By THOMAS WEMYSS, Author of Biblical Gleanings, &c. In one thick vol. fc. 8vo. price 7s. 6d. "This is a very unpretending, but a very valuable work, and one which all classes of readers of the Bible will find much advantage in having ying by them. How very largely symbolical language is used in the Scriptures nobody needs to be told, and that language must necessarily be the source of many errors unless it be properly understood. On this account, we consider the present volume as a valuable gift, The work has been drawn from the best sources, has been compiled with much care and judgment, and is highly creditable to the author."-Edin. Christian Instructor. "For this valuable production we are indebted to Mr. Wemyss, with whose "Bib lical Gleanings" most of our readers must be acquainted, and who with us cannot sufficiently regret, that so long an interval should have taken place, during which we have not received any thing from the pen of that learned and judicious Biblical scho lar. We know of no work which will better serve as a manual on this subject than that now before us. From the samples we have given, our readers will see what they may expect from the book, which we cordially recommend to their attention." Congregational Magazine.

"The compiler of this "Clavis Symbolica" has laid the Biblical student under asting obligations, which will be best discharged by a diligent perusal of this excel lent work, and a frequent reference to its numerous and highly interesting contents. Without a work of this description the library of no Minister can be regarded as complete, and considering the comprehensiveness of its details, and the economy of its purchase, we know of none so well adapted for universal circulation."-Bapt. Mag. This is a useful and important work, and illustrates exceedingly well many parts of the Holy Scriptures. After perusing the volume, and comparing it with some other works of the same kind, we feel quite free to recommend it to general readers and students of the Bible, as decidedly superior to any other work of the kind. We shall preserve and consult this volume as an auxiliary to the better understanding of the Word of God."-Christian Advocate.

"With the aid of Vitringa, Ewaldus and others, Mr. W. has produced a very interesting explanation of many of the Scriptural symbols; and when we say that his volume illustrates the sacred writings in a way to render them more intelligible and acceptable, we have said enough to recommend it to the Christian reader. If we add that the illustrations comprehend much curious intelligence, and the parallel passages lead to our acquaintance with the master minds of literary antiquity, we have said that which will recommend it to readers of every class."-Literary Gazetta

"We ought, in the government of a well ordered state and commonwealth, to imitate and follow the great God of Nature-who in all things proceedeth easily, and by little and little-who, of a little seed causeth to grow a tree, for height and greatness right admirable, and yet for all that insensibly." Bodinus.

"The nature of this great city of the world, and the policy thereof, must be first sought in mean concordances and small portions."-Bacon.
