'CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED,' is the title of an eloquent and
well-reasoned discourse, from the pen of Rev. C. W. DENNISON,
of Wilmington, Delaware, sent us by an attentive friend and
correspondent. It was preached to the Second Baptist Church of
Delaware, in September last, from PAUL'S words: 'For I determined not
to know any thing among you, save JESUS CHRIST, and Him crucified.'
Published by request. J. P. CALLENDER, 141 Nassau-street.
'LECTURES TO CHRISTIANS.'--This volume contains twenty-five Lectures,
delivered by Rev. CHARLES G. FINNEY, in 1836 and 1837, reported by
the Editor of the New-York Evangelist, and revised by the author,
who has chosen to present them in the condensed and laconic style
in which they were delivered. 'As my friends wish to have them in a
volume,' says Mr. FINNEY, 'they must take them as they are.' Such
as they are, therefore, they are before the public. JOHN S. TAYLOR,
publisher.
'THE ISSUE,' PRESENTED IN A SERIES OF LETTERS ON SLAVERY.--This is
a small volume, of an hundred and ten pages, from the pen of Rev.
RUFUS WM. BAILEY, of South Carolina. It contains fifteen letters,
originally published in a religious newspaper, and widely copied and
circulated through the religious journals of the United States. Their
object was and is, to induce slavery-agitators to 'let the South
alone.' JOHN S. TAYLOR, Brick Church Chapel, Park.
'THE FAMILY PREACHER, or Domestic Duties Illustrated and Enforced,'
is the title of a work by the same author, and from the same press,
as 'THE ISSUE.' It consists of eight discourses upon the duties of
husbands, wives, females, parents, children, masters, and servants.
We have given the volume but a cursory perusal, yet we have read
enough to enable us conscientiously to recommend it to the reader,
as well calculated to do good--to make all conditions of social life
better and happier.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN.--The former edition of Mrs. JAMESON'S
'Characteristics of Women, Moral, Poetical, and Historical,' was
noticed at length in this Magazine. In the present issue, numerous
errors and omissions have been corrected and supplied; we are sorry,
however, to perceive that not a few typographical inaccuracies are
still permitted to mar the volume. The work contains several pretty
etchings by the gifted authoress.
WILLIS'S POEMS.--Messrs. SAUNDERS AND OTLEY have issued 'Melanie,
and Other Poems, by N. P. WILLIS.' The volume, which is tastefully
executed, and embellished with a fine portrait of the author,
contains little, if we do not mistake, upon which the judgment of the
public has not already been passed. The same house has published 'The
Star of Seville,' a new Drama, by Mrs. FANNY KEMBLE BUTLER.
