GARDINER’S GREEK HARMONY. A Harmony of the Four Gospels in Greek, according to the Text of Tischendorf, with a Collation of the Textus Receptus, and of the Texts of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo. $2.50.

“A very important matter in the preparation of the Harmony is, of course, the choice of a text. The one chosen by Professor Gardiner is that of Tischendorf’s eighth edition of the New Testament. This text was chosen because ‘it embodied the latest results of criticism, having had the advantage throughout of the Codex Sinaiticus and of a more close collation of the Codex Vaticanus.’ Professor Gardiner would, indeed, have published his Harmony more than a year ago, but waited till opportunity could be given for consulting this last edition of Tischendorf. It is an obvious merit in this Harmony, that the student can see at a glance whether or not the text of Tischendorf agrees or conflicts with that of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles in places where there is a difference of opinion. It is another excellence of the work that the Greek text is so accurate, evincing the most scrupulous care and thorough scholarship on the part of the editor.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“The notes of the author are marked by scholarship and good sense. The student will find it a convenient manual for the study of the Gospels, because he sees upon one and the same page the readings of the principal editions and manuscripts, together with the quotations made by the evangelists from the Old Testament.”—Princeton Review.

“Dr. Gardiner’s work has been well done, and he has given us a Harmony of great value.”—Quarterly Review Evang. Luth. Church.

“By this scholarly work Dr. Gardiner has rendered all diligent students of the Gospel narrative an invaluable service. In a single volume, and by the most satisfactory arrangement of the several and inspired accounts of the life and doings of our Lord, the book furnishes the best results of the ablest and most laborious investigation of all known sources of knowledge regarding the original sacred text.”—Reformed Church Monthly.

“It is a superior work of its kind.”—National Baptist.

“This book, the result of great research and utmost painstaking, is well worthy the consideration of all Bible scholars.”—Watchman and Reflector.

GARDINER’S ENGLISH HARMONY. A Harmony of the Four Gospels in English, according to the Authorized Version; corrected by the best Critical Editions of the Original. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo. Cloth, $2.00.

“The Harmony in English, the title of which is given above, is a reproduction of the Harmony in Greek; no other changes being made than such as were required to fit the work for the use of the English reader who desires to learn some of the improvements which modern criticism has made in the authorized English text.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“We gladly commend this Harmony to every intelligent reader of the Scriptures. The need of such a guide is felt by every thoughtful Churchman at least once a year—in Holy Week—when he desires to read the events of each day in the order in which they happened so many years ago. We do not think that our laymen know how much they will be helped to the understanding of the Gospels by a simple Harmony, perhaps read as we suggested above, in connection with some standard Life of our Lord.”—The Churchman.

LIFE OF CHRIST. The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Gospels. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 16mo. pp. 256. $1.00

“It is well adapted to the convenience of pastors, to the needs of teachers in the Bible-class and Sabbath-school, to the religious instruction of families. It bids fair to introduce improvements into the style of teaching the Bible to the young.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“This little volume will not only answer as a Harmony of the Gospels for the use of those who only care to have results, but it will be an excellent book to read at family prayers, or to study with a Bible-class.”—Christian Union.

ELLICOTT’S COMMENTARY, CRITICAL AND GRAMMATICAL, on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians. With an Introductory Notice by C. E. Stowe, Professor in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 183. $1.50.

The Commentaries of Prof. Ellicott supply an urgent want in their sphere of criticism. Prof. Stowe says of them, in his Notice: “It is the crowning excellence of these Commentaries that they are exactly what they profess to be, critical and grammatical, and therefore, in the best sense of the term, exegetical. . . . . . His results are worthy of all confidence. He is more careful than Tischendorf, slower and more steadily deliberate than Alford, and more patiently laborious than any other living New Testament critic, with the exception, perhaps, of Tregelles.”

“They [Ellicott’s Commentaries] have set the first example, in this country, [England] of a thorough and fearless examination of the grammatical and philological requirements of every word of the sacred text. I do not know of anything superior to them, in their own particular line, in Germany; and they add, what, alas! is so seldom found in that country, profound reverence for the matter and subjects on which the author is laboring; nor is their value lessened by Mr. Ellicott’s having confined himself for the most part to one department of a commentator’s work—the grammatical and philological.”—Dean Alford.

“The critical part is devoted to the settling of the text, and this is admirably done, with a labor, skill, and conscientiousness unsurpassed.”—Bib. Sacra.

“We have never met with a learned commentary on any book of the New Testament so nearly perfect in every respect as the ‘Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians,’ by Prof. Ellicott, of King’s College, London,—learned, devout, and orthodox.”—Independent.

“We would recommend all scholars of the original Scriptures who seek directness, luminous brevity, the absence of everything irrelevant to strict grammatical inquiry, with a concise and yet very complete view of the opinions of others, to possess themselves of Ellicott’s Commentaries.”—American Presbyterian.

HENDERSON ON THE MINOR PROPHETS. THE BOOK OF THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS. Translated from the Original Hebrew. With a Commentary, Critical, Philological, and Exegetical. By E. Henderson, D.D. With a Biographical Sketch of the Author, by E. P. Barrows, Hitchcock Professor in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 490. $3.50.

“This Commentary on the Minor Prophets, like that on the Prophecy of Isaiah, has been highly and deservedly esteemed by professional scholars, and has been of great service to the working ministry. We are happy to welcome it in an American edition, very neatly printed.”—Bib. Sacra.

“Clergymen and other students of the Bible will be glad to see this handsome American edition of a work which has a standard reputation in its department, and which fills a place that is filled, so far as we know, by no other single volume in the English language. Dr. Henderson was a good Hebrew and Biblical scholar, and in his Commentaries he is intelligent, brief, and to the point.”—Boston Recorder.

“The American publisher issues this valuable work with the consent and approbation of the author, obtained from himself before his death. It is published in substantial and elegant style, clear white paper and beautiful type. The work is invaluable for its philological research and critical acumen. The notes are learned, reliable, and practical, and the volume deserves a place in every theological student’s library.”—American Presbyterian, etc.

“Of all his Commentaries none are more popular than his Book of the Minor Prophets.”—Christian Observer.

“This is probably the best Commentary extant on the Minor Prophets. The work is worthy of a place in the library of every scholar and every diligent and earnest reader of the Bible.”—Christian Chronicle.

COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS. By Moses Stuart, late Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Third Edition. Edited and revised by Prof. R. D. C. Robbins. 12mo. pp. 544. $2.25.

“His Commentary on the Romans is the most elaborate of all his works. It has elicited more discussion than any of his other exegetical volumes. It is the result of long continued, patient thought. It expresses, in clear style, his maturest conclusions. It has the animating influence of an original treatise, written on a novel plan, and under a sense of personal responsibility. Regarding it in all its relations, its antecedents and consequents, we pronounce it the most important Commentary which has appeared in this country on this Epistle.”—Bib. Sacra.

“We heartily commend this work to all students of the Bible. The production of one of the first Biblical scholars of our age, on the most important of all the doctrinal books of the New Testament, it deserves the careful study, not only of those who agree with Prof. Stuart in his theological and exegetical principles, but of those who earnestly dissent from some of his views in both respects.”—Watchman and Reflector.

“This contribution by Prof. Stuart has justly taken a high place among the Commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans, and, with his other works, will always be held in high estimation by the student of the Sacred Scriptures.”—New York Observer.

COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS. By Prof. M. Stuart. Third Edition. Edited and revised by Prof. R. D. C. Robbins. 12mo. pp. 575. $2.25.

“It is a rich treasure for the student of the original. As a commentator, Prof. Stuart was especially arduous and faithful in following up the thought and displaying the connection of a passage, and his work as a scholar will bear comparison with any that have since appeared on either side of the Atlantic.”—American Presbyterian.

“This Commentary is classical, both as to its literary and its theological merits. The edition before us is very skilfully edited, by Professor Robbins, and gives in full Dr. Stuart’s text, with additions bringing it down to the present day.”—Episcopal Recorder.

“We have always regarded this excellent Commentary as the happiest effort of the late Andover Professor. It seems to us well-nigh to exhaust the subjects which the author comprehended in his plan.”—Boston Recorder.

“It is from the mind and heart of an eminent Biblical scholar, whose labors in the cause of sacred learning will not soon be forgotten.”—Christian Observer.

COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF PROVERBS. By Prof. M. Stuart. 12mo. pp. 432. $1.75.

“This is the last work from the pen of Prof. Stuart. Both this Commentary and the one preceding it, on Ecclesiastes, exhibit a mellowness of spirit which savors of the good man ripening for heaven; and the style is more condensed, and, in that respect, more agreeable, than in some of the works which were written in the unabated freshness and exuberant vigor of his mind. In learning and critical acumen they are equal to his former works. No English reader, we venture to say, can elsewhere find so complete a philological exposition of these two important books of the Old Testament.”—Bib. Sacra.

COMMENTARY ON ECCLESIASTES. By Moses Stuart, late Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Second Edition. Edited and revised by R. D. C. Robbins, Professor in Middlebury College. 12mo. $1.50

The Introduction discusses the general nature of the book; its special design and method, diction, authority, credit, and general history; ancient and modern versions, and commentaries. The Commentary is strictly and minutely exegetical.

STUART’S MISCELLANIES. pp. 369. 12mo. $1.00.

Contents.—I. Letters to Dr. Channing on the Trinity.—II. Two Sermons on the Atonement.—III. Sacramental Sermon on the Lamb of God.—IV. Dedication Sermon.—Real Christianity.—V. Letter to Dr. Channing on Religious Liberty.—VI. Supplementary Notes and Postscripts.

COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE. 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 564, 504. $5.00.

CRITICAL HISTORY AND DEFENCE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON. 12mo. pp. 450. $1.75.

Books Published by W. F. Draper

Angel over the Right Shoulder, The; or the Beginning of a New Year. By the Author of “Sunnyside.”  40 cents.

“It is as provokingly short as it is exquisitely beautiful.”—Boston Recorder.

“What a blessed thing is a sunny spirit, ever cheerful and happy, and ever diffusing joy over all around it. Such a spirit is the Author of “Sunny Side.” She comes to us again as a living angel—in good omen over the right shoulder. We commend it to all mothers, and especially to all Mrs. Jellabys.”—Independent.

Carlyle, Thomas. Latter-Day Pamphlets. 12mo. $1.00

Contents.—The Present Time.—Model Prisons.—Downing Street.—The New Downing Street.—Stump Orator.—Parliaments.—Hudson’s Statue.—Jesuitism.

A Collection of the Proverbs of all Nations. Compared, Explained, and Illustrated. By Walter B. Kelly. 12mo. $1.25

“This is one of those books, like Roget’s Thesaurus, Haydn’s Dictionary of Dates, and Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer, which contains a vast amount of information in a very small space—books that a writer cannot afford to be without, for they contain information that by days of research in libraries one would hardly be able to obtain. This collection contains all the proverbs which are familiar in all nations. They are classified under various heads, such as Women, Love, Marriage, Home, Self-conceit, Ingratitude, and so on. There is also a full index, which enables one at once to find any particular proverb. Another excellent feature is, that when a proverb is taken from another language, not only the English, but the original is given. The book is replete with good things. It supplies a want that many a one has felt—a want that no dictionary, gazetteer, or book of quotations now supplies.”—College Courant.

“It is not possible, perhaps, to collect the proverbial wisdom of the world in any more attractive form than this of Mr. Kelly’s. . . . . . As a book for the library, an armory where a writer or a speaker may be armed and equipped in a single line; as a book for the centre-table, something that you can read a page or twenty pages of, have your reading cut short anywhere, and still be complete and intensely interesting besides,—as a book for either of these purposes, the “Proverbs of all Nations” will be found very acceptable. Certain it is, at least, that “you may go farther and fare worse.””—Christian Freeman.

Value of the Study of Church History in Ministerial Education. A Lecture delivered to the Senior Class of Andover Theological Seminary. By Egbert C. Smyth. 8vo. Paper, 25 cents.

God’s Ownership of the Sea. By Leonard Swain, D.D. Reprinted from the Bibliotheca Sacra. Paper, 25 cents.

A remarkably interesting Essay on the office and uses of the sea.

Political Economy. Designed as a Text-Book for Colleges. By John Bascom, A. M., Professor in Williams College. 12mo. pp. 366. $1.50

“It goes over the whole ground in a logical order. The matter is perspicuously arranged under distinct chapters and sections; it is a compendious exhibition of the principles of the science without prolonged disquisitions on particular points.”—Princeton Review.

“This is a valuable work upon a subject of much interest. Professor Bascom writes well, and his book makes an excellent manual.”—Boston Recorder.

“The book is worthy a careful study, both for the views it contains and as a mental training.”—Evening Express.

Questions on Kühner’s Elementary Greek Grammar. By Charles W. Bateman, LL.D.; with Modifications and Notes by Samuel H. Taylor, LL.D., Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo. pp. 57. Paper covers. 40 cts.

These “Questions” are a valuable aid to the pupil in making his knowledge of the principles of the Grammar more definite, and in fixing them more permanently in his mind. They will also greatly aid the teacher to systematize his work, and lighten the labor of teaching. These “Questions,” though prepared with special reference to Kühner’s Grammar, are equally applicable to any elementary Greek Grammar. They are a valuable aid.

Döderlein’s Hand-Book of Latin Synonymes. Translated by Rev. H. H. Arnold, B.A., with an Introduction by S. H. Taylor, LL.D. New Edition, with an Index of Greek words. 16mo. pp. 267. $1.25

“The present hand-book of Döderlein is remarkable for the brevity, distinctness, perspicuity, and appositeness of its definitions. It will richly reward not merely the classical, but the general student for the labor he may devote to it. It is difficult to open the volume, even at random, without discovering some hint which may be useful to a theologian. . . . . . From the preceding extracts it will be seen that this hand-book is useful in elucidating many Greek, as well as Latin synonymes.”—Bib. Sacra.

“The little volume mentioned above, introduced to the American public by an eminent scholar and teacher, Samuel H. Taylor, LL.D., is one of the best helps to the thorough appreciation of the nice shades of meaning in Latin words that have met my eye. It deserves the attention of teachers and learners, and will amply reward patient study.”—Prof. E. D. Sanborn.

“We have been acquainted for some years with the merits of this work, and cordially commend it as one of the best manuals on Latin synonymes, and admirably adapted to the wants of the student.”—Evangelical Review.

“It is well adapted to school purposes, and embraces all that is necessary on this subject. He has often introduced also the nearest corresponding expression both in the Greek and German languages, and placed them side by side with the Latin synonyme.”—Evening Express.

“We have no hesitation in saying that this is the best work on Latin synonymes that has yet been published.”—Universalist Quarterly.

Classical Study: Its Usefulness illustrated by Selections from the Writings of Eminent Scholars. Edited, with an Introduction, by Samuel H. Taylor, LL.D., Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo. $2.00

Professor J. R. Boise, of the University of Chicago, thus writes in the March number of the Illinois Teacher: “The selection of essays made by Dr. Taylor is eminently judicious, and presents the views of many leading writers, both in Europe and in this country. The Introduction, containing about thirty pages, gives, first, a concise and clear sketch of the history of the controversy on the value of classical studies; and then, several reasons why the highest benefits of classical study are seldom reached in this country. On this latter point, we know of no one better qualified by education and long experience as a teacher to speak wisely . . . . . To all who desire the best collection of essays in our language on classical study, the work of Dr. Taylor will be very welcome. It should have a conspicuous place in every school-library, and in the private library of every educator in our land . . . . . Not the least valuable part of the volume is the Introduction, in which Dr. Taylor so ably, clearly, and fairly balances the arguments on the two sides.”

“We commend the book as a valuable collection of essays on the higher methods of mental training.”—American Presbyterian.

The Theology of the Greek Poets. By W. S. Tyler, Williston Professor of Greek in Amherst College. 12mo. Cloth. $1.75

“Professor Tyler has here produced a work which is an honor to American literature. It is well fitted to be a classic in our Colleges and Theological Seminaries. It furnishes admirable illustrations of the truth of both natural and revealed theology, and suggests original methods for the defence of these truths.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“The book is an important contribution to natural theology. It traces the relation of the theology of the Greek poets to that of Christ. Prof. Tyler does his work with the mind of a master.”—Zion’s Herald.

The Kingdom of Christ on Earth: Twelve Lectures delivered before the Students of the Theological Seminary, Andover. By Samuel Harris, Dwight Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale College. 8vo. $1.75

“These lectures are characterized by a firm grasp of the subject, by profound and thorough comprehension of the facts and principles which it involves, by a lucid and connected method, and a perspicuous and popular style. The subject is of the very essence of the Christian system. The specific views presented are judicious and sound. The student in theology will find that a careful study of these lectures, pursued so far as to bring the whole presentation into living and shaping relation to his religious thought, will be of inestimable advantage to him in clearing away mists and difficulties, in harmonizing and systematizing his religious knowledge, in opening views into remoter fields of truth, in guiding and quickening his mind generally in its contemplation of religious truth.”—The College Courant.

Works of William G. T. Shedd, recently Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Andover Theol. Sem.

Discourses and Essays. 12mo. pp. 324. $1.50

“These elaborate articles are written in a lucid and racy style, and invest with a rare interest the themes of which they treat.” —Bibliotheca Sacra.

“These Discourses are all marked by profound thought and perspicuity of sentiment.”—Princeton Review.

“These Essays are, every one of them, a rich treat for the thinkers, the lovers of deep thought; of thought clothed in a strong, terse, stern, clear expression.”—Methodist Quarterly Review.

“Papers like these are worthy the deepest study and the warmest admiration of the best minds; the entire volume is a storehouse from which thoughts rich and truthful may be drawn.”—Presbyterian Quarterly.

Lectures upon the Philosophy of History. 12mo. 75 cts.

“This volume consists of four Lectures, of which the following are the titles: The Abstract Idea of History; The Nature and Definition of Secular History; The Nature and Definition of Church History; The Verifying Test in Church History. It is written in a lucid style, and will interest the students of theology and of history.” —Bibliotheca Sacra.

“The style of these Lectures has striking merits. The author chooses his words with rare skill and taste, from an ample vocabulary; and writes with strength and refreshing simplicity.”—New Englander.

Outlines of a Systematic Rhetoric. From the German of Dr. Francis Theremin, by W. G. T. Shedd. $1.00

“The Introductory Essay which Professor Shedd has prefixed to this valuable Treatise, is elaborate, vigorous, impressive. It excites the mind not only to thought, but also to the expression of thought—to inward and outward activity. The whole volume is characterized by freshness and originality of remark, a purity and earnestness of moral feeling.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“The subject is ably unfolded in this compact yet thorough treatise. What, however, is exhibited by Theremin in a dry light, in the form of naked philosophic statement, is displayed by Professor Shedd in his Introductory Essay, with that glow of life, beauty, and force which distinguishes his writings.”—Princeton Review.

Guericke’s Church History (Ancient Church; including the First Six Centuries). 8vo. $3.00

“Characterized by research, devoutness, firm grasp of evangelical truth, and careful exhibition of the practical as well as the intellectual aspects of Christianity.”—North British Review.

“We regard Professor Shedd’s version as a happy specimen of the transfusion, rather than a translation, which many of the German treatises should receive. The style of his version is far superior to that of the original.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

Guericke’s Church History—Mediæval Church. $1.50

“This portion of Guericke’s Church History continues the account down to A.D. 1073, when Hildebrand ascended the Papal chair as Gregory VII. With the previous volume, this addition comprises the History of the Church during the first ten centuries.”

Remarks on the Internal Evidence for the Truth of Revealed Religion. By Thomas Erskine, Esq., Advocate. Third American, from Fifth Edinburgh Ed. 16mo. 75 cts.

“The entire treatise cannot fail to commend the positions which it advocates to intelligent and considerate minds. It is one of the best, perhaps the best, of all the discussions of this momentous subject.”—Congregationalist.

“This argument of Erskine for the Internal Evidence of the Truth of Revealed Religion, is the most compact, natural, and convincing we have ever read from any author.”—Christian Chronicle.

“No man ought to consider himself as having studied theology unless he has read and pondered and read again ‘Erskine on the Internal Evidence.’”—Independent.

Writings of Archbishop Whately. Published under the sanction of the author, from the latest revised editions; viz.

Essays on some of the Difficulties in the Writings of St. Paul. 12mo. Cloth extra, gilt tops. $1.50

“Dr. Whately’s writings are characterized by sound thought and solid judgment. Clear and solid sense is his peculiar characteristic. He is often ingenious, generally candid, almost always plain and transparent.”—Bibliotheca Sacra.

“An excellent work.”—New York Evangelist.

“The Archbishop’s writings are a part of the sterling theological letters of the age, and ought to be possessed by all the studious and thoughtful.”—Journal and Messenger.

“This book had passed through at least eight editions in England before its publication in this country. Dr. Whately is always entitled to a hearing. Never profound, he is always clear; never very original, he is always instructive; never disgustingly dogmatic, he always seems to feel a serene assurance that he has exhausted the whole subject, and that his verdict is final; always positive and didactic, he is yet never extreme, but always takes the middle and moderate view.”—Watchman and Reflector.

Essays on some of the Pecularities of the Christian Religion, and Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon. 12mo. pp. 264 and 48. Bound in 1 vol. Cloth extra, gilt tops. $1.50

Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon. 12mo. Paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

About the year 1821 Whately published this Essay anonymously. It was designed as an answer to Hume’s objections to the credibility of the Christian miracles. Following Hume’s method, Whately gravely argued the improbability of the existence of the first Napoleon, and demonstrated that, on Hume’s principles, the testimony in relation thereto could not be credited.
