This contribution to the science of mind has been made in response to the demand of the time for a work embodying the grand principles of Phrenology, as they are understood and applied to-day by the advanced exponents of mental philosophy. The authors state in their Preface: "In preparing this volume it has been the aim to meet an existing want, viz. That of a treatise which not only gives the reader a complete view of the system of mental science known as Phrenology, but also exhibits its relation to anatomy and physiology as those sciences are represented to-day by standard authority."

The work is divided into eighteen chapters, which are entitled as follows:

CHAPTERS.
General Principles. Of the Temperaments. Structure of the Brain and Skull. Classification of the Faculties. The Physico-Preservative, or Selfish Organs. Of the Intellect. The Semi-Intellectual Faculties. The Organs of the Social Functions. The Selfish Sentiments. The Moral and Religious Sentiments. How to Examine Heads. How Character is Manifested. The Action of the Faculties. The Relation of Phrenology to Metaphysics and Education. Value of Phrenology As an Art. Phrenology and Physiology. Objections and Confirmations by the Physiologists. Phrenology in General Literature.

In style and treatment it is adapted to the general reader, and abounds with valuable instruction expressed in clear, practical terms.

It is printed on fine paper, and substantially bound in cloth, and contains 325 pages. 12mo. Price $1.50, by mail post-paid.

THE EMPHATIC DIAGLOTT,
Containing the Original Greek Text of The New Testament with an interlineary
word-for-word English Translation; a new Emphatic Version based on the
Interlineary Translation, on the Readings of Eminent Critics, and on the
various Readings of the Vatican Manuscript (No 1,209 in the Vatican
Library); together with illustrative and Explanatory Foot Notes,
and a copious Selection of References; to the whole of which
is added a valuable Alphabetical Index.

By BENJAMIN WILSON.

One Vol., 12mo, 884 pp. Price, extra cloth, $4; Lib. binding, $5.

We have here a Greek Text acknowledged to be one of the best, which Greek scholars will find of importance, while the unlearned have an almost equal chance with those who are acquainted with the original, by having an interlinear, literal, word-for-word English translation. On the right hand of each page there is a column containing a special rendering of the translation, including the labors of many talented critics and translators, and in this column the emphatic signs are noted by which the Greek words of emphasis are designated, which the common and are new version of the New Testament fail to give. The adopting of the ensigns of emphasis give a certainty and intensity to the passages where they occur which can not be had without them. In addition to this there are numerous footnotes and references, making it on the whole one of the most valuable aids to Bible study yet published.

OPINIONS OF THE CLERGY.

The following extracts from a letters received by the publishers will go far to show in what the light the "Emphatic Diaglott" is regarded by the clergy:

From J. R. Graves, LL.D., Editor of Tenn. Baptist.—"There are many of our ministers who have mastered the usual amount of Greek required to complete their course at school but have found little time since entering upon their ministerial labors to "keep it up," and rust has so gathered upon their Greek that it has become a labor to work it out without Grammar and Lexicon. To all such and even to those who have accomplished but little in the language, this interlineary translation will prove an invaluable help. The critical foot-notes and Dictionary of Terms at the close are fully worth the price of the work itself. I can cordially commend it to every minister and Bible student as a rigidly faithful translation of the New Testament, and for several reasons the most valuable one that has yet been made."
From Thomas Armitage, D.D., Pastor of the Fifth Ave. Baptist Church.—"Gentlemen: I have examined with much care and great interest the specimen sheets sent me of 'the Emphatic Diaglott.' ... I believe that the book furnishes evidences of the purposed faithfulness, more than usual scholarship, and remarkable literary industry. It can not fail to be an important help to those who wish to become better acquainted with the revealed will of God. For these reasons I wish the enterprise of publishing the work a great success."
From the Rev. James L. Hodge, Pastor of the First Mariners' Baptist Church, N. Y.—"I have examined these sheets which you design to be a specimen of the work, and have to confess myself much pleased with the arrangement and ability of Mr. Wilson.... I can most cordially thank Mr. Wilson for his noble work, and you, gentlemen, for your Christian enterprise in bringing the work before the public. I believe the work will do good, and aid the better understanding of the New Testament."
From Prof. H. Mattison, Pastor of Trinity Meth. Church, Jersey City, N. J.—... "The plan of the work is admirable, and the presence of the Greek text and interlinear version gives every scholar a fair chance to test the version for himself, verse by verse and word for word. I can not but believe that the work will be valuable acquisition to the Biblical literature of the country."
From A. A. Livermore, D.D., President of the Theological Sem., Meadville, Pa.— ... "I welcome all efforts intelligently made to popularize the results of criticism, and wish that this little volume might be possessed by every clergyman and student of the Scriptures in the country."
From Rev. C. Larew, Pastor of the Halsey St. Meth. Church, Newark, N. J.—"'The Diaglott' has given me great pleasure. The arrangement is a most excellent one, and the new version can not fail to be of gratification and profit, especially to those unacquainted with the original Greek. The translator has certainly shown great genius in seizing upon the thought of the original and a happy tact on presenting it."
From Rev. G. F. Warren, Pastor of the Worthen St. Church, Lowell, Mass.—... "Am highly gratified with the thorough manner in which he (the author) has done his work. If I mistake not this translation will receive a cordial welcome from the Christian public. It is just what every Christian needs. I congratulate myself and others that such a valuable auxiliary to the study of the Word of God is placed in our hands."

We give sample pages of the work that every one may form a correct idea of the plan of publication. Sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of price.
