The Candidate for the Ministry: a Course of Expository Lectures on the first Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy. By the Rev. John H. PINDER, M.A. London, 1837. 12mo. These lectures were originally delivered to the students of Codrington College in the island of Barbados, of which the author was Principal from 1830 to 1835. They are plain, earnest, and impressive. In 1837 Mr. Pinder published a similar useful volume of expository Discourses on the Book of Common Prayer. 91. Pulpit Lectures on the Epistles of Paul the Apostle to TIMOTHY. By the Rev. Henry Roper SLADE, LL.B. London, 1837. 12mo. "Very simple and plain; ably exposing Romish errors, and powerfully advocating Protestant truths." (Christian Remembrancer, June, 1837, p.944.) 92.

Expository Discourses on the APOCALYPSE, interspersed with Practical Reflections. By the late Rev. Andrew FULLER. London, 1815. 8vo. This posthumous publication, consisting of thirty-one discourses delivered in the years 1809 and 1810, after undergoing several revisions, was finished by the author, a short time only before his decease. "There is however but little novelty in the work, but little to gratify the anxious curiosity of the age, or to elucidate the unfulfilled and more difficult parts of the Revelation. The general outline of the prophetic scheme is boldly sketched, and its various ramifications are marked with that precision which was common to the writer; but in general there is an extreme of modesty and diffidence, with scarcely any attempts to pass the usual boundaries of thought on these subjects, or any adventurous flight of speculation." (Morris's Memoirs of Mr. Fuller, p. 249.) An abstract of Mr. F.'s scheme of the Apocalypse is given in the same work (pp. 250-260.). 98. An Exposition of the Book of Revelation. Being the substance of forty-four Discourses preached in the parish church of Olney, Bucks. By the Rev. Henry GAUNTLETT. London, 1821. 8vo. This work "affords ample proofs of his " [the author's] "piety, good sense, and industry. His interpretations of the prophecies, whether fulfilled or expected to be so, are mostly supported by venerable authorities: and where he differs from them, it is with due modesty and candour."

Several Sermons upon the Fifth of St. Matthew; being Part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount. By Anthony HORNECK, D.D. Third Edition. London, 1717. 2 vols. 8vo. These discourses were published after the author's death by Dr. Kidder, Bishop of Bath and Wells, who prefixed a Memoir of Dr. Horneck. The bishop's character of the writings published by himself, is equally applicable to his Sermons on Matt. V. "There is a great vein of piety and devotion which runs through them: they savour of the primitive simplicity and zeal, and are well fitted to make men better.' (Life, p. xxxix.) 107. Christian Blessedness; or, Discourses upon the Beatitudes of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. By John NORRIS. London, 1690. 8vo. "Norris is a fine writer for style and thought, and commonly just.” (Dr. Waterland's Advice to Students, Works, vol. vi. p. 320.) 108. Our Saviour's Divine Sermon on the Mount, contained in the Vth, VIth, and VIIth chapters of St. Matthew's Gospel explained: and the Practice of it recommended in diverse Sermons and Discourses.

Dr. Waterland. "His commentary on Matt. v.-viii. is the best extant. — – He appears to have been a person of the utmost candour, and has solicitously avoided all unkind and contemptuous reflections on his brethren. He has an excellent way of bringing down criticisms to common capacities, and has discovered a vast knowledge of Scripture in the application of them." (Doddridge's Works, vol. v. p. 438.) 109. Sermons sur le Discours de notre Seigneur Jésus Christ sur la Montagne. Par feu M. Jean Scipion VERNEDE. Amsterdam, 1779. 4 tomes 8vo. "His Sermons on the Mount are recommended, as containing an accurate description of the extent, the beauty, and sublimity of evangelical morals, and the force of the motives by which they are produced. They contain many useful and pious observations." (Cobbin's French Preacher, p. 560.) 110. Lectures upon our Lord's Sermon on the Mount. By James Brewster. Edinburgh and London, 1809. 8vo. This volume" contains a statement of Christian morality, always clear, generally judicious, and sometimes discriminating, traced up to Christian principles, and followed up by an appeal to the conscience, at once calculated to convict the reader of his deficiencies, and to persuade him to adopt and act upon the author's statement." (Christian Observer for 1809, vol. viii. p. 780.) 111. Forty-Five Expository and Practical Lectures on the whole of our Lord's Sermon on the Mount. By the Rev. E. GOOD. London, 1829. 8vo. 112. The Resurrection of LAZARUS. A Course of Sermons on the Eleventh Chapter of the Gospel according to St. John. From the French of Beausobre. By Henry COTES. London, 1822. 8vo. "These Discourses are a paraphrase rather than a translation of the third and fourth volumes of the Sermons of M. de Beausobre. They are intended for the use of those who have leisure and opportunity to compare the leading evidences of Christianity in a connected series of discourses upon one of the most remarkable of our Saviour's miracles, — the resurrection of Lazarus." (Author's Preface.) 113. Practical Discourses on the Nature, Properties, and Excellencies of CHARITY, above all the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit; as they are described in the thirteenth chapter of the first Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians. By Matthew HOLE, D.D. Oxford, 1725. 8vo. Besides this volume, Dr. Hole also wrote six volumes of Discourses on the Liturgy of the Church of England (which are very rarely to be obtained complete), and two volumes on the Catechism. They are all characterised by good sense and sober piety. 114. A Discourse concerning the great Duty of Charity [an Exposition of 1 Cor. xiii.] By Richard CROSSINGE, B.D. London, 1732. 8vo. 115. Explication des Caractères de la Charité selon St. Paul dans sa première Epitre aux Corinthiens, ch. XIII. [Par Jacques Joseph DUGUET.] Génève, 1824. 8vo. A new edition, with a few trifling verbal corrections, of an admirable exposition of 1 Cor. XIII. which first appeared in the former part of the eighteenth century, and which is sometimes erroneously ascribed to Fénélon, Archbishop of Cambray. An English translation was published at London, intituled "The Characters and Properties of True Charity displayed." By J. B. de Trevals. 116. Charity. Being an Exposition of 1 Cor. xiii. By the Rev. John BRAMSTON, M.A. London, 1835. 8vo. 117. Practical Discourses upon the PARABLES of our Blessed Saviour. With Prayers, annexed to each Discourse. By Francis BRAGGE, B.D.

By Andrew GRAY, D.D. London, 1777. 8vo. Second Edition, 1814. 8vo. This "Delineation will be of great use to the reader in the study of the parables of Jesus, and will enable him to comprehend their full force and meaning. The author has explained and illustrated them with perspicuity, and pointed out the several important instructions that may fairly be deduced from them." (Monthly Review, O. S. vol. lvii. p. 196.) 122. Lectures on Scripture Miracles. By William Bengo COLLYER, D.D. London, 1812. 8vo. 123. Lectures on Scripture Parables. By William Bengo COLLYER, D.D.

TREATISES ON RECONCILING THE CONTRADICTIONS ALLEGED TO EXIST IN THE SCRIPTURES. 1. Michaelis WALTHERI Harmonia Biblica; sive brevis et plana Conciliatio locorum Veteris et Novi Testamenti, adparenter sibi contradicentium. Noribergæ, 1654. 4to. 1696. folio. This work first appeared at Strasburg (Argentorati) in 1626, and has been repeatedly printed in Germany: the edition of 1696 is reputed to be the best and most correct. Walther's Harmonia Biblica is a work of considerable learning and industry, which illustrates many difficult passages with great ability. He has, however, unnecessarily augmented the number of seemingly contradictory passages; a defect which is common to most of the writers of this class. 2. Christiani MATTHIÆ Antilogiæ Biblica; sive Conciliationes Dictorum Scripturæ Sacræ, in speciem inter se pugnantium, secundum seriem locorum theologicorum in ordinem redactæ. Hamburgi, 1500. 4to. 3. Symphonia Prophetarum et Apostolorum; in quâ, ordine chronologico, Loci Sacræ Scripturæ specie tenus contradicentes conciliantur, ut et ad quæstiones difficiliores chronologicas et alias Veteris Testamenti respondetur, in duas partes divisa. Auctore D). M. Johanne SCHARPIO, Scoto-Britanno, Andreapolitano, pastore. Genevæ, 1525. 4to. 4. Johannis THADDEI Conciliatorium Biblicum. Amstelodami, 1648. 12mo. Londini, 1662. folio. The last is reputed to be the best edition, and professes to be considerably enlarged. This work follows the order of the several books of the Old and New Testaments. The remark above made, on Walther's Harmonia Biblica, is equally applicable to Mr. Man's work, to the Conciliatorium Biblicum of Thaddæus, and also to 5. The Reconciler of the Bible: wherein above two thousand seeming Contradictions throughout the Old and New Testament are fully and plainly reconciled. By J[ohn] T[HADDEUS]. London, 1656. 8vo. 6. The Reconciler of the Bible enlarged, wherein above three thousand seeming Contradictions throughout the Old and New Testament are fully and plainly reconciled. By John] T[HADDÆUS] and T[homas] M[AN], London, 1662, folio. 7. The Dividing of the Hooff: or Seeming Contradictions throughout Sacred Scriptures, distinguish'd, resolv'd, and apply'd, for the strengthening of the faith of the feeble, doubtfull, and weake, in wavering times. Also to bring the soule (by prayer and spirituall application) into more familiar acquaintance with the Lord Jesus, the onely David's-Key, to unlock the cabinet of Jacob's God, to fetch out that secret why he should lay his hands thus crosse when he gave his children this blessing. Helpfull to every household of faith. By William STREAT, M.A. London, 1654. 4to. This work is occasionally found in booksellers' catalogues, where it is marked as both rare and curious. It is noticed here merely to put the student on his guard not to purchase it. The critical information it contains is very meagre; and the quaint title-page, which we have copied, sufficiently indicates the enthusiastic spirit of the author. 8.
