know that He more freely gives than we can ask. To cast off selfish anxiety, is to rest upon the Father's bosom; and to look forward without fear, is practically to own and to enjoy the love that is perfect, and therefore always prepared to sympathize with us in our trials, to rectify our souls, to anticipate our exigence, and eternally to provide for us.

CONSIDERED

IN RELATION TO HEALTH AND MORALS.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

This book is fitted to dispose minds to reflection which may not have evinced any such tendency, and to the most reflecting it will not fail to supply welcome materials for thought.-British Quarterly Review.

Although necessarily treading the path of metaphysical research and inquiry, the author has invested his subject with so much beauty of illustration and fascination of style as to arrest the attention of every reader. It abounds with suggestions of the highest importance to the happiness of our physical and moral being.-Northern Light.

We have seldom perused a work which gives the mind more satisfaction than does this truly Christian and solacing work. No one can read it without feeling the many beautiful truths here made manifest, nor without experiencing that description of refreshing feeling, which, to the inquiring mind, is like what the cool draught is to the parched lips of the traveler in search of water. It is full of the sublimest interest.-The Atlas.

In the highest acceptation of the word, Dr. Moore is a Christian philosopher-intelligent, enlightened, full of knowledge, and steadfast in faith. -The Britannia.

This is a remarkable ingenious and interesting production. It is well written, and presents a rare combination of the spirit of the philosopher 'with the spirit of the Christian.-Christian Witness.

This is a good book on a most important topic. The range is wide, and it is well occupied. The argument is conducted with the calmness of the philosopher, the temper of the Christian, and the skill of the most practiced logician.-Congregational Magazine.

This is a most interesting volume. Philosophical, learned, pious, and therefore rational, it bespeaks the notice of every thinking man. Wo heartily recommend it to all.-Dolman's Magazine.

This treatise has interested us exceedingly.-Eclectic Review.

These all are subjects of the highest interest, and are treated by the au thor with ability, with just and apposite illustrations, and well-conducted argument.-Gentleman's Magazine.

Through every page there extends a healthful moral principle. The style is pleasing, earnest, and, in many portions, eloquent.-The Lancet. There is much material for thought in this volume, and we cordially recommend it to the attention of all who take an interest in the subjects discussed in its pages.-Westminster Review.

The Use of the Body in Relation to the

Mind.

12mo, Muslin. Price 50 cents.

One jumps at such books as these as one lights a candle on finding himself in a dark and strange room. We have read these interesting volumes with great instruction and pleasure. The science of the writer is skillfully popularized, so as to be comprehensible and entertaining; and the effect of his instructions, developments, and cautions, must be of no small benefit to any reader.-N. P. WILLIS (Home Journal.)

We regret that it is not in our power to make our readers better acquainted with this and the preceding volume. They are not books of mere speculation, but have a strong practical bearing on health, happiness, and religion.-British Quarterly Review.

It shows us that through the intimate connection between the mind and body, the former must at all times, and to an extent inconceivable by the thoughtless, influence the latter; and that unless this inward principle be disciplined, purified, enlightened, vainly must we look for that harmony between the two so necessary to human enjoyment. All this may appear to some readers as purely imaginative, or, at the best, as the forced conclusion of some formal novelist. To such we would say, "Read the book, and judge for yourselves."-Athenæum.

This is a highly interesting and valuable work; written not for the few, but for universal humanity. Many will read it; many more will be the better for it.-The Atlas.

It will be a favorite with families. It will not only be bought, but read. Such a book must be of signal service, and deserves a hearty welcome from all who have at heart the advancement of the moral and physical welfare of the world.-The Critic.

We step a little out of our way to express our approbation of this volume and its partner. They come not strictly within the scope of a Churchman's review; but we are truly happy to meet with works of this kindworks highly useful in themselves, and subserving manifold important purposes of a moral and religious nature.-Churchman's Monthly Review.

This is a work much needed, as a supplement or completion to Combe's "Constitution of Man."-Christian Inquirer.

One of the profoundest works on mind and matter that we have seen for many years. It would be impossible, without making an analytical review of the work, to express its merits.-Louisville Journal.

It is an excellent book, presenting important knowledge in an attractive form, and thoroughly pervaded by a Christian spirit. Its publication can not fail to be highly acceptable to the religious public and highly beneficial to all-The Courier.
