NEW ENGLAND THEOCRACY. From the German of Uhden’s History of the Congregationalists of New England, with an Introduction by Neander. By Mrs. H. C. Conant, author of “The English Bible,” etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
A work of rare ability and interest, presenting the early religious and ecclesiastical history of New England, from authentic sources, with singular impartiality. The author evidently aimed throughout to do exact justice to the dominant party, and all their opponents of every name. The standpoint from which the whole subject is viewed is novel, and we have in this volume a new and most important contribution to Puritan History.

LIMITS OF RELIGIOUS THOUGHT EXAMINED, in Eight Lectures delivered in the Oxford University Pulpit, in the year 1858, on the “Bampton Foundation.” By Rev. H. Longueville Mansel, B. D., Reader in Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy at Magdalen College, Oxford, and Editor of Sir William Hamilton’s Lectures. With the Copious Notes Translated for the American Ed. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
This volume is destined to create a profounder sensation in this country than any philosophical or religious work of this century. It is a defence of revealed religion, equal in ability to the “Analogy” of Bishop Butler, and meets the scepticism of our age as effectually as that great work in an earlier day. The Pantheism and Parkerism infused into our popular literature will here find an antidote. The Lectures excited the highest enthusiasm at Oxford, and the Volume has already reached a third edition in England. The copious “Notes” of the author having been translated for the American edition by an accomplished scholar, adds greatly to its value.

MORAL PHILOSOPHY, including Theoretical and Practical Ethics. By Joseph Haven, D. D., late Professor of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy in Amherst College; author of “Mental Philosophy.” Royal 12mo, cloth, embossed, $1.25.
It is eminently scientific in method, and thorough in discussion, and its views on unsettled questions in morals are discriminating and sound. It treats largely of Political Ethics—a department of morals of great importance to American youth, but generally overlooked in text-books. In the history of ethical opinions it is unusually rich and elaborate.
POPULAR GEOLOGY; With Descriptive Sketches from a Geologist’s Portfolio. By Hugh Miller. With a Resume of the Progress of Geological Science during the last two years. By Mrs. Miller. 12mo, cloth, $1.25.
This work is likely to prove the most popular of Hugh Miller’s writings, and to attain the widest circulation. It is written in his best style, and makes the mysteries of Geology intelligible to the common mind. As an architect explains the structure of a house from cellar to attic, so this accomplished geologist takes the globe to pieces, and explains the manner in which all its strata have been formed, from the granite foundation to the alluvial surface. It supplies just the information which many readers have been longing for, but unable to find. Also,

☞ One of the best and most useful works of this popular author.
“It ought to be sold by hundreds of thousands, until every church-member in the land has bought, read, marked, learned, and inwardly digested a copy.”—Congregationalist.
“So eminently is it adapted to do good, that we feel no surprise that it should make one of the publishers’ excellent publications. It exhibits the whole subject of growth in grace with great simplicity and clearness.”—Puritan Recorder.
