“The utility of this manual is unquestionable, for whatever progress
the science it is intended to illustrate may be making, it is evident
that, its study should not be entirely omitted even in the most general
education. The arrangement of the work is admirable. The utmost
perspicuity prevails in every page. The public may be assured of its high
claims to their attention, from the facility with which the principles of
the science are unfolded before them; from the philosophic tone in which
the subject is treated, and from the unassuming, modest manner in which
its appeals are made.”—_Alexander’s East India Magazine._

By the Rev. J. G. LORIMER, of St. David’s Church, Glasgow.

Treatise on Baptism.
A Practical Treatise on the Spiritual Import of Baptism, and the Duties
connected with the Observance of the Ordinance. By the Rev. JOHN THOMSON,
Minister of Shettleston.
“This is a work which will, and ought to make its way, where many
more ponderous and learned treatises on the subject will be refused
admittance. The truths regarding the nature and practical bearing of the
ordinance of baptism are correctly and clearly stated; and the duties
binding both upon parents and children, in connexion with the solemn
ordinances, are enforced in some instances with a natural eloquence which
cannot fail to reach the heart, because every reader will feel that the
sentiments come from the heart.”—_Presbyterian Review._
