A MOST APPROPRIATE PRESENT TO YOUNG MOTHERS.

Advice on the Management of Children in Early Infancy. By THOMAS BARRETT, Esq., M.R.C.S.L., Surgeon to the Bath Ear and Eye Infirmary. Very elegant gilt cloth, price 2s.

"We have much pleasure in drawing attention to this little volume, which the author submits to the public, because in the exercise of a somewhat extensive practice, he has had many opportunities of witnessing the satisfactory results which have followed where the principles here laid down formed the basis of management."-Bath Chronicle, April 3rd, 1851.

"Thanks to a medical man who condescends, like Mr. BARRETT, to address to mothers and nurses some plain sensible instructions in intelligible language. We heartily commend this little book to every nursery."-London Journal of Literature, May 1st, 1851.

"A valuable book for young mothers."-Mother's Friend, June 1st, 1851. "The directions of this pretty little book seem at once rational and scientific; and we do not doubt that the 'ADVICE' here given will be found very valuable." -Bath and Cheltenham Gazette, May 28th, 1851.

"The 'Advice' contained in Mr. BARRETT'S beautiful little book is evidently the result of extensive professional experience; and would, if followed, prevent many a premature death, and save, both to infants and mothers, an immense amount of suffering and sorrow."-British Mother's Magazine, June 1st, 1851.

"This is a singular, and, in many respects, a clever book. It is throughout pervaded by that agreeable egotism which constitutes the charm of Leigh Hunt's writings. It is a book with which the young will be much pleased; and in which the severest critics will discover evidences of great ability. The Author's temperament is highly poetical. His book is a very delightful one."-Hull Advertiser, Aug. 14, 1851.

"The volume is of interest from its dedication to the Rev. Newman Hall, B. A., who, we believe, gives it his unqualified approbation. The religious purpose shown in every page is the mainstay of the book; while the affectionate, brotherly devotion everywhere apparent towards the much-loved object of the memoir, must command entire respect and sympathy. The volume may have been suggested by Tennyson's In Memoriam; both are the offshoots of a poetic temperament; and there is in both the same idea of commemorating virtue and worth. The style is gratefully fresh, simple, and unaffected. It will be read with advantage as an affectionate tribute, all the more eloquent from its simplicity."-Eastern Counties' Herald, Aug. 15, 1851.

Falsehood and Truth.

By CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH. Beautifully printed, and elegantly bound, with Frontispiece (The Poor Romanist's Last Hours,') and Engraved Title page, price 3s. 6d.

"I believe, and because I believe therefore will I speak it, that this controversy [the Romanist], is now become an indispensable branch of Christian education, seeing to what dangers the children of our people are exposed even within the social circle of private life; how much more in the comparatively unguarded range of schools, over-run with Romish teachers, and over-stocked with Romish books; and oh how pre-eminently so, when sent forth to a foreign clime, there to inhale an atmosphere impregnated with the insidious poison of Popery! I might add that in the very sanctuary where they worship and where their fathers for generations past have enjoyed the blessings of a purely Protestant ritual, danger now lurks, the heterodox pulpit giving the lie to the orthodox desk; and the modest communion table lapsing back into an altar fitted for idolatrous service. Dangers thicken around us; without are fightings, within are fears: may it be our daily study so to build ourselves up in our most holy faith, that neither the blustering storm roaring above, nor the insidious flood stealing on us from beneath, may shake our habitation, fixed on the immutable, everlasting Rock!"-Dedication.

Introduction-The Religious World-Religious Intercourse-Evangelical Preaching and Reading-Religious Education-Religious Societies-Conclusion.

"Proneness to backsliding is the sad character of fallen man; and it has been painfully exemplified in England as well as in Israel. At various periods, with few exceptions, we seem to have become almost wholly secular, and worldly, and unbelieving; and the predominance of this secularity and unbelief, even still, is the grand danger of the Church of England-a far more serious danger than Popery, Tractarianism, or Dissent."-Bickersteth on the Promised Glory of the Church of Christ.

Helen Bury; or, the Errors of my Early Life.

ers.

By EMMA JANE WORBOISE, Author of "Alice Cunninghame," "Maude Bolingbroke," &c. With Engraved Frontispiece and Vignette. Small 8vo., elegant cloth, price 4s. 6d.; morocco, 8s. 6d.

"We have great pleasure in introducing this highly interesting story to our readIt is seldom indeed that we can so cordially recommend a work of the kind. The 'Errors of Early Life' in this volume are-leaving the doctrines of the Church of England for those of Puseyism and Roman Catholicism successively. Helen Bury is taught by severe earthly bereavements to know that the heart must rest on God alone;' and that there is only one Mediator by whom we can have access to the Father, and the blessings of everlasting life. She found that notwithstanding the formal observances and outward ceremonies of the new sect, the heart was cold and dead, and had no resting place in the time of trial and trouble, or at the hour of death. The incidents are beautifully connected and wrought out; the various characters are drawn with great vividness and skill, and only one who has felt the value of true religion could have so feelingly and truthfully depicted the impressions and workings of the mind. The style of the authoress is graceful and pure, and she possesses a keen sense of the beauties of natural scenery, in the description of which she excels. There is an indescribable charm in the touching and pathetic tone of many of the passages in the work. We think it calculated to do much good from the clear and simple manner in which the opinions on the 'Errors' are stated; and we have no doubt but that many who are halting between two opinions' will be confirmed and 'strengthened in their minds' as to the truth. We would fain have given an outline of the story, but rather advise our readers to procure the work for themselves."-Dundee Courier, Aug. 28, 1850.

"This is an agreeable tale illustrative of the errors of Romanism, which the heroine was led to embrace by having in the first instance attached herself to the lesser errors of Tractarianism The characters and incidents of the story are well drawn, and the style is pleasing in a high degree. The hollow promises of Popery are piquantly set forth, and the vital truths of a pure Christianity ably stated. We conceive such tales as HELEN BURY are calculated to produce lasting impressions of the most wholesome kind upon the minds of the youthful, with whom stern truths are unpalatable unless presented in a pleasing dress. For this reason we must avail ourselves of the graces of language and the treasures of the imagination. We may add that the volume before us is a beautiful specimen of typography, reflecting much credit upon the publishers."-Cheltenham Journal, Sep. 2, 1850.

Popery; its Alliance with Paganism.

Translated from the French, by SENECA W. WINTER, Esq., of
Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Small 8vo., cloth, with Engraved
Frontispiece (A heathen priest offering sacrifice,') price 2s. 6d.

"Calculated to illustrate the great truth, that Popery is merely a reproduction of the pagan worship."-British Banner.

"This very curious and interesting work has, we learn, in France been instrumental, under the Divine blessing, in effecting much good. Regarding this highlyinteresting and able book as peculiarly calculated for extensive usefulness in this country at the present period, we, consequently, recommend it to the attention of all readers."-Englishwoman's Magazine.

"Mr. Winter has done a service to the cause of Protestantism in this country. The object is to establish the close affinity between Popery and Paganism; and the reader cannot fail to be satisfied in perusal that the writer's proof is at once original and effective."-Edinburgh Christian Magazine.
