Lectures on the Philosophy and Practice of Slavery: As Exhibited in the Institution of Domestic Slavery in the United States, with the Duties of Masters to Slaves
Smith, William A. (William Andrew)
Slavery -- United States
“Ability, perspicuity, precision, characterize his performance. His
method and proofs are eminently striking. * * * The work is valuable
as a doctrinal treatise, and is a seasonable addition to Methodist
theological literature. We commend it to the Church, to all whose
views are unsettled on the subject, and especially to those who differ
with us concerning it.”--_Southern Methodist Quarterly._
=BAPTISM: A Treatise on the Nature, Perpetuity, Subjects,
Administrator, Mode, and Use of the Initiating Ordinance of the
Christian Church. With an Appendix, containing Strictures on
Dr. Howell’s “Evils of Infant Baptism,” Plates illustrating the
Primitive Mode of Baptism, &c. By Thomas O. Summers. 12mo, pp.
252.=
This book is got up in handsome style, and sold at 65 cents retail,
with the usual discount to wholesale purchasers. Competent
judges--among them the bishops and editors of the Church--have spoken
of this work in unqualified terms of approval. Several thousand copies
were sold very soon after its first issue. Dr. M’Clintock, Ed. Meth.
Quar. Review, says: “This volume differs from ordinary books on the
subject, in treating at some length of the ‘Administrator of Baptism,’
and of the ‘Use of Baptism,’--points rarely noticed, or, if at all,
very inadequately discussed, in the current treatises. It differs from
them also, and very happily, in the clearness of its arrangement, in
the aptness with which the joints of the discussion fit each other,
and in the discrimination with which important points are brought out
strongly, while minor ones are comparatively thrown into abeyance. In
an appendix Dr. Summers reviews Howell’s ‘Evils of Infant Baptism,’
with keen discrimination and with some severity. We cordially commend
this little volume as one of the best summaries of Christian doctrine
on the subject of baptism that has come under our notice.”
=WESLEY’S SERMONS, with copious Indexes, carefully prepared by
Thomas O. Summers.=
This is an elegant 12mo edition in four volumes, got up expressly for
the convenience of ministers, Sunday-schools, and family libraries.
Price $2.75--30 per cent. discount to Sunday-schools and wholesale
purchasers.--They are also put up in four packages, as Tracts--price
$1.25.
=SONGS OF ZION. A Supplement to the Hymn Book of the M. E.
Church, South. Edited by T. O. Summers. Price 26 cents.=
This work, so loudly called for, has been received with great favor:
the Press of the Church pronounces it just the thing that was in
demand. It should everywhere accompany the Hymn Book.
=THE GREEK AND EASTERN CHURCHES: their History, Faith, and
Worship. 18mo, pp. 179. Price 30 cents.=
We have never met with so much reliable information on the Oriental
churches, in so short a compass, as is found in this neat volume.
=SEASONS, MONTHS, AND DAYS. By Thos. O. Summers. 18mo, pp. 110.
Price 25 cents.=
