7. SECKER (Archbishop) _on the Catechism_: and WILSON (Bishop) _on the Sacrament_. These are truly excellent treatises: their established celebrity renders no further recital of them necessary in this place. 8. SERMONS: by _Dr. S. Clarke_; _Abp. Secker_, _Sherlock_, _Jortin_, _Balguy_, _Porteus_, (Bishop of London), _Blair_, and _Carr_.[9] These among many other excellent ones, whose enumeration would swell the list to an unnecessary size, may be perused and meditated on with great advantage. They are not selected in rejection of others, but solely as containing much sound and edifying matter, which may bring forth "sixty and an hundred fold." [9] Miss Boudler has published a small volume of useful sermons to a country congregation, which it may be advisable to procure. Her name is not prefixed to the work; but it is published by _Cadell_ and _Davies_, in the Strand. 9. WILSON'S (Bishop) _Bible, with Commentaries_: in 3 vols. 4to. Bath: printed by Crutwell. Perhaps, the most judicious and unexceptionable illustration of the sacred text extant. 10. GISBORNE'S _Duties of Women_, and _Familiar Survey of the Christian Religion_, are both very excellent performances, and reflect great credit on the head and heart of the distinguished and benevolent writer. 11. _The Whole Duty of Man._ 12. _The Ladies' Calling._ These two last works are from the same anonymous author, whose publications are, indeed, purer than gold--"yea, than much fine gold." Such are the works recommended to the perusal and meditation of serious and enlightened parents: and such, it is hoped, will not bring forth "bitter fruits." There are moments of languor and heaviness, of dulness and despondency, to which the best of mothers may be exposed, and which may be removed, or relieved, by a perusal of some of the foregoing writers: in such moments, she will know the full value of their works, and will not repent the trouble or expence incurred in the procuring of them. She will then be convinced that the common productions, which amuse the ignorant and the foolish, could not have supplied the want of them; whether in soothing the pangs which arise from a deceased husband or child, or in teaching her to bear up with fortitude against the frowns of a persecuting world. The balm of consolation, which arises from these studies, she will pour into the bosom of a dutiful daughter; and the knowledge that she has gained by experience, will be imparted to, and grow up with, her rising posterity. Let it always be impressed on our minds, that if we are so anxious to procure costly furniture, or splendid apparel, which the moth eats, or the thief steals, how much more is it our duty to devote a comparatively trifling sum towards the acquisition of those mental treasures, of which neither treachery nor violence can dispossess us, and which fit us, by degrees, for the eternal mansions of happiness and rest.
