NOTES AND REFLECTIONS ON THE PSALMS.

By ARTHUR PRIDHAM. Demy 12mo., cloth, price 10s.

"Our readers are already favourably impressed with the name and labours of Mr. Pridham. The present volume will not simply sustain but add to his reputation. While he has chosen his subjects wisely, he has worked them out with ability. The longest articles are devoted to those Psalms which relate immediately to the person and work of the Messiah."-Christian Witness.

"Many will find his 'Notes' suggestive of profitable thought to their minds.”— Church of England Magazine.

"We think Mr. Pridham's expositions of Divine truth eminently adapted to do good in these days of feeble piety, lax profession, and indeterminate belief. His writings are characterised by an individuality and earnestness which are refreshing and invigorating, and at the farthest remove from mere common-place.-Primitive Church Magazine.

"The spirit of this work is excellent, and its tone high.—Quarterly Jl. of Prophecy. NOTES & REFLECTIONS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.

By ARTHUR PRIDHAM. Demy 12mo., cloth, price 6s.

"The author is evidently competent to the task he has undertaken, which he executes in an earnest and thoughtful spirit, and with more of substantial learning than he cares to show. There is often a pregnancy of meaning in his sentences which reminds us of the old divines.-Kitto's Journal of Sacred Literature.

"The work exhibits no small evidence of ripe study of the original text, and above all, is the production of one thoroughly sound on the great doctrine of justification by faith."-Christian Times.

"Welcome is the modest, right-hearted treatise which is here introduced to our readers. We heartily commend the volume, and shall be glad to find that Mr. Pridham is encouraged to complete his purpose of publishing similar comments on the Epistle to the Hebrews."-Baptist Magazine.

"Sound, enlightened, and edifying. The book bids fair to be useful to the Church of Christ, occupying a place distinct from all its predecessors."-Christian Witness. "A great amount of most precious truth and able criticism. Both the tone and substance of the book are of a very superior kind."-Quarterly Journal of Prophecy. "This valuable work has commanded the favourable attention to which its great merits justly entitle it."-Englishwoman's Magazine.

NOTES & REFLECTIONS ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS

By ARTHUR PRIDHAM. Demy 12mo., cloth, price 6s.

"Its criticism is of a superior order, and its success in elucidating the meaning such as makes the reader feel how truly the writer has had sympathy with the apostle's spirit. The work is one of great value, and fitted to be of much service to the Church."-Quarterly Journal of Prophecy.

"Adjusting in a useful proportion, doctrinal statement, and practical application. Its tone appears to be perfectly sound.-Bickersteth's Weekly Visitor.

"Mr. Pridham is a careful writer, and eminently evangelical. We believe that the judicious and spiritual reader will find this volume very helpful in the study of the remarkable Epistle on which it is written."-Eclectic Review.

"The main scope of the Scriptural argument is never for a moment lost sight of." -Christian Witness.

"A valuable commentary on important portions of the Scriptures."-Englishwoman's Magazine.

"Mr. Pridhain is well acquainted with the original Scriptures, and his critical explanation of obscure passages will repay the most careful attention."-Primitive Church Magazine.

"Possesses the same qualities as its predecessor (Notes on the Romans'). In both epistles are found innumerable touches both of character and doctrine, such as afford the best materials for brief and impressive exposition."-Baptist Magazine.

EVERY-DAY ASTRONOMY;

OR, PRACTICAL LESSONS ON THE CELESTIAL SPHERE. NEW AND CHEAP EDITION, 3s. 6d.

The "Educational Times," says,

2.They are assumed to be given under the light canopy of heaven (not before a paper globe), and the various changes in the heavenly bodies are explained as they successively take place.

3. "The book is illustrated by beautiful plates, affording a key whereby the constellations can READILY be distinguished from each other, and by means of which any one can at once be pointed out.

-"The subject is constantly regarded by the talented author in a reverential and devotional spirit."

From the "Athenæum."

"A compact volume, with directions for finding the principal stars, groups, and constellations. The matter is good, and so arranged as to convey, in a few nights, the names, movements, and locations of the planets and fixed stars."

From the "Morning Advertiser."

"A charmingly simple yet well considered attempt to render the initiatory study of a difficult science more pleasing and successful than hitherto. The author is a writer of great merit. The plates of constellations, containing in all between fifty and sixty groups of stars, are the most brilliant and clear pictorial representations we remember to have seen in an illustrated work."

From "Tait's Magazine."

"There is no better book than this extant.'

From the "Atlas."

"Very clear. AN EXCELLENT WORK FOR POPULAR USE."

From the "Sunday School Teachers' Magazine."

"A highly successful attempt to simplify the study of Astronomy." From the "Church of England Magazine."

"We turn to the present volume with much gratification."

From the "Englishwoman's Magazine."

"It is a great and distinguishing excellence of this treatise on popular Astronomy that it directs the learner's attention not to an artificial globe or orrery, but to the starry heavens themselves. The lessons are free from needless technicalities, imparted in a lively and perspicuous style, and illustrated by accurate time-tables and plates of uncommon excellence."

From the "Christian Witness."

"This is one of the best publications of its class that we have ever seen.'

From the "British Controversialist."

"We have often wished in by-gone days for such a work; and believing that others have felt a similar want, we cheerfully recommend this, the only volume we have met with well adapted to supply it."
