I.

THE LIFE & CHARACTER OF JOHN HOWE, M.A.;

WITH A CRITICAL ESTIMATE OF HIS WRITINGS.

By HENRY ROGERS.

In One Vol. 8vo.

With a PORTRAIT; and Outline Engravings of Great Torrington
Church, Devon, and Antrim Castle, Ireland. Price 12s.

This volume contains about twenty letters and other documents of Howe (now for the first time published) from the Baxter MSS.-the British Museumand Libraries of Noblemen-also copious extracts from a very rare tract of Andrew Marvell, in defence of Howe against Gale, Danson, and others, not published in any edition of Marvell's Works. Together with an Appendix, containing some curious particulars respecting Howe's family, which have never yet appeared in any collection of his writings.

"John Howe is one of those beautiful examples of a Christian temper, united with great but evenly-balanced powers, that, scanty as the materials for this Life are, they never can be read without deep interest. Mr. Rogers has made as much of these materials as probably could be made in this handsome volume, and has added to them some very interesting letters of Howe to Baxter."-British Magazine.

"As a biographer, Mr. Rogers is distinguished by a style at once forcible and elegant. He is possessed, moreover, of a singular aptitude at illustration, inferior only to the sterling sense and sound discrimination by which it is accompanied."-New Monthly Magazine.

CONGREGATIONAL LECTURE. THIRD SERIES.

THE CHRISTIAN ATONEMENT;
Its Basis, Nature, and Bearings; or,

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED,

AS APPLIED IN THE REDEMPTION OF MAN.

With Notes and Illustrations.

By the Rev. JOSEPH GILBERT. In One Vol. 8vo. Price 10s. 6d.

Though in every treatise on this fundamental doctrine of Christianity, there must be, in common, the occurrence of many acknowledged principles, yet, in this Work, it has been proposed, by more accurately ascertaining the relations of some of them, by a fuller consideration of others, and by remodelling the whole argument, to throw additional light on questions, still controverted, respecting its nature and bearings.

"There is a great deal of sound and powerful thinking in it,-a great deal of justice and truth in the views which it contains."-British Magazine.
