VI.

BAXTER'S DYING THOUGHTS; with an Introductory Essay, by the Rev. HENRY STEBBING, M. A.

Mr.

"The present Treatise is one of the most practical Baxter ever wrote. Stebbing's Essay is the best that has yet appeared in the Sacred Classics; it is really introductory to the important subject of Baxter's Treatise, and is in itself a very able and instructive piece of composition."-Scots Times.

VII.

"These are some of the most admirable productions of Bishop Taylor, whose genius is generally admitted to entitle him to one of the highest places among the preachers of the Church of England. Mr. Cattermole furnishes the Introductory Essay, which is chiefly a history of preaching from its rise with Christ and his apostles. He gives too a just description of the merits of the author from whose works he has selected the sermons which appear in this volume."-Leeds Mercury.

DR. WATTS'S LYRIC POEMS; with a Biographical Essay, by ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq. L.L.D.

"There are touches of poetry scattered through these pages, which, simple as childhood, are also as charming."-Literary Gazette.

"Persons who are desirous of learning the mind of Dr. Watts, in the latter, but not the most felicitous part of his life, on the doctrine of the Trinity, may find in this memoir as much satisfaction as the painful subject is capable of affording. Dr. Southey has treated the matter with great judgment and candour."-Evangelical Register.

X. and XI.

BISHOP BEVERIDGE'S PRIVATE THOUGHTS; to which is added, THE NECESSITY OF FREQUENT COMMUNION; with Introductory Essays, by the Rev. H. STEBBING, M.A.

"The selection of these volumes is admirable; those which have already appeared are such as true Christians cannot willingly let die.' The Private Thoughts on Religion and a Christian Life' of Bishop Beveridge, can scarcely be too much commended for the humility, the self-knowledge, and the deeply devotional feeling which pervade them, their able though brief vindication of the truth of Christianity, and their practical bearing."-Leeds Mercury.

"The progress of the Library of Sacred Classics has been watched by us with sincere pleasure. It is gratifying to see members of the Establishment united with dissenting_ministers in spreading the doctrines of orthodox Christianity. The names of Leighton and Dr. Pye Smith need no comment; but when we see them in catholic unity on the same title page, we cannot avoid expressing our pleasure at such a convincing proof of Christian liberality.”—Athenæum.

FIFTEEN SERMONS ON RETIREMENT, SELFDENIAL, RESIGNATION, &c. &c. With an Introductory Essay, by the Rev. RICHARD CATTERMOLE, B. D.

"Mr. Cattermole, one of the able Editors of this work, has shown great talent and good sense, as well as piety in his Introductory Essay to this volume. While enforcing reflection on the instability of this world, and a consequent regard to a future of immortal value, neither the Editor, nor the great authorities whom he has brought forward, would teach us to reject the enjoyments with which a bounteous Providence has filled creation, if the created were only wise enough to use them for the best."-Lit. Gazette.

FOURTEEN SERMONS ON THE RESURRECTION, &c. &c. With an Introductory Essay, by the REV. HENRY STEBBING, M.A.
