New Unitarian Biography.

MEMOIR OF THE LATE REV. GEORGE ARMSTRONG, formerly Incumbent of Bangor in the Diocese of Down, latterly one of the Ministers of Lewin's-Mead Chapel, Bristol. With Extracts from his Journals and Correspondence. By ROBERT Henderson, his Literary Executor. 8vo. Price, $2.62.

"Mr. Armstrong was one of Nature's noblemen, true, honorable, generous, a warm lover of liberty in every form, and with a heart full of sympathy for them that suffered in its behalf.”. Christian Reformer.

"We welcome this volume, not only as a tribute of devoted affection for an able and a good man, but as containing some lessons of no slight importance in our day; lessons which, as best we can, we would transfer to our pages for the benefit of our readers."-London Inquirer.

Mr. King's Elegant Work on the White Mountains.

THE WHITE HILLS; their Legends, Landscape, and Poetry. By Rev. T. STARR KING. Illustrated with Sixty Exquisite Engravings on Wood, by ANDREW. From Drawings by WHEELOCK. One volume, small quarto, printed in the most elegant style, on tinted paper. Ready in November.

It is the intention of the Publishers that this work shall be in every respect the most beautiful of its kind ever issued.

The name of the author- a name so intimately connected with the mountains and their vicinity, by his incomparable descriptions of their scenery is a sufficient guaranty that the text will be all that can be desired.

In carrying out their plan they have secured the assistance of Mr. M. G. WHEELOCK, an artist whose delineations of Mountain, Lake, and Landscape Scenery are unsurpassed; and of Mr. JOHN ANDREW, whose skill as an engraver on wood is unequalled.

With this combination of talent, the Publishers feel confident of producing a work which every lover of nature will desire to possess.

To be ready early in December.

"This seems to us the best ethical treatise we have ever read.

THE

Mr. Northend's New Work for Teachers and Parents.

TEACHER'S ASSISTANT; or, Hints and Methods in School Discipline and Instruction. Being a Series of Familiar Letters to one entering upon the Teacher's Work. By CHARLES NORTHEnd, A. M., Author of "The Teacher and Parent," &c. 12mo. Price, $1.00.

"This volume owes its existence, in part at least, to a request from a friend of the author to furnish advice and hints on one or two points connected with teaching. In complying with the request, it occurred to the writer that a series of familiar letters in reference to school duties and school exercises might prove beneficial to many. The idea has resulted in the preparation of this book, which is presented to the public, and particularly to teachers, with the hope that it may prove both acceptable and useful."

The President of the Connecticut State Teacher's Association says:

"I think it the most valuable book for teachers that I have ever seen. It is a complete guide in all the duties of the school-room; and from its easy, familiar style, and clearness of illustration, it cannot fail to meet a very general demand.”

"From all sects, parties, homes, from places distant and near, from thoughtful persons of every ecclesiastical order and every doctrinal confession, from conservative and radical, we hear enthusiastic and grateful commendations of ROBERTSON'S SERMONS. People read them that do not love to read sermons. Scholars admire them. Thinkers respect them. Believers are cheered by them."-REV. F. D. HUNTINGTON'S Monthly Religious Magazine.

SERMONS

PREACHED AT TRINITY CHAPEL, BRIGHTON, ENGLAND.

BY THE LATE

FREDERIC W. ROBERTSON, M. A.

FIRST, SECOND, AND THIRD SERIES.
Three Volumes. 12mo. $1.00 each.

To confirm the testimony of the paragraph quoted above, the publishers submit the following opinions of these wonderful sermons and their gifted author, both from the religious and the secular press:

"Sermons more readable than these cannot be found. They interest all, because richly imbued with sentiments, and expressive of emotions, which well up in all human hearts when the chords are touched by the hand of genius and of piety. The style is admirable, the thoughts are moving, and the expression unusually forcible and elegant. ..... His love of the Saviour was ardent, his appreciation of the blessings of the Gospel was high, and his attachment to the Church undoubted. He had an affectionate heart, a fervid fancy, a glowing imagination, and an intellect both vigorous and highly cultivated."- Protestant Episcopal Quarterly Review, N. Y.

"Robertson, chaste, scholarly, vivid, profound, reaching further in bare suggestion than most men in elaborate statement, his fragmentary utterances the audible meditations of an earnest spirit struggling with the vast mysteries of life and redemption. ..... Preachers would do well to study Robertson, as a model of vigorous thinking, and of a clear, strong, earnest style.” — New York Independent (Congregationalist).

"As specimens of enlarged and elevated thought, and of beauty and power of language, they are remarkable, and will be read with great advantage. Seldom do we find such freshness and life in printed pulpit discourses.". - Boston Recorder (Congregationalist).

"They are among the most remarkable productions of the pulpit in any age, for novelty and force of thought, strength and point of diction, and an earnestly devoted, yet philosophic spirit." Christian Register (Unitarian).

"We have never read Sermons so fresh and genial in their tone; at once rich in thought, tender in feeling, and eloquent in utterance. They fall short of the perfect standard of Orthodoxy; but no one can doubt the ardent piety and holy zeal and winning life of their author. They are fresh, instructive, direct, and must have been heard, as they may be read, with interest and benefit.". Christian Watchman and Reflector (Baptist).

"To the hundreds of intelligent and spiritual persons in England and America, who are struggling for a more genial, catholic, self-sacrificing Christian experience, longing for a wiser and tenderer brotherhood, weary of strife and bitterness, to all such, whatever their creed or communion, the individuality of Mr. Robertson's mind and the lovingness of his spirit will come with an interpretative power that will be warmly welcomed...... The spirit of a wide and generous Christian culture is in the volumes, and no one can study them without feeling that their author loved the fellowship of St. John as well as St. Paul, and that, better still, he sat at the feet of Jesus and learned of him.”— Southern Methodist Quarterly Review.

"We recommend these Sermons to the perusal of our readers. They will find in them thought of so rare and beautiful description, an earnestness of mind so steadfast in the search of truth, and a charity so pure and all-embracing, that we cannot venture to offer praise, which would be, in this case, almost as presumptuous as criticism.". London Economist.
