“The aim of this little volume is to embody an account of the delightful and successful intercourse of believers with heaven for some four thousand years. The author has indulged a good deal in narrative, opening and explaining the circumstances which gave birth to the several prayers. “The author does not aim to write a treatise on prayer, or to comment on all the references to prayer in chronological order, but to dwell on its nature and importance, and make suggestions on the most important allusions to prayer, as indicated all along for four thousand years. He explains the circumstances connected with the prayers of these holy men.”—_Religious Union._ =Messianic Prophecy and the Life of Christ.= By Rev. W. S. KENNEDY. 12mo. $1.25 “The plan of the author is to collect all the prophecies of the Old Testament referring to the Messiah, with appropriate comments and reflections, and then to pursue the subject through the New Testament in the life of Christ as he appeared among men. The reader will find the results of Hengstenberg and Neander here gathered up, and presented in a readable shape.”—_The Presbyterian._ “This work exhibits the prophetic element in the Messianic argument in an analytical shape, and with peculiar force.”—_Episcopal Recorder._ “The general idea of the book is a very happy one, and it has, on the whole been well wrought out.”—_The Lutheran._ =Theologia Germanica.= Which setteth forth many fair Lineaments of Divine Truth, and saith very lofty and lovely things touching a Perfect Life. Edited by DR. PFEIFFER, from the only complete Manuscript yet known. Translated from the German by SUSANNA WINKWORTH. With a Preface by the Rev. CHARLES KINGSLEY, Rector of Eversley; and a Letter to the Translator, by the CHEVALIER BUNSEN, D.D., D.C.L., etc.; and an Introduction by PROF. CALVIN E. STOWE, D.D. 16mo. Cloth, $1.25; calf, $2.50 This treatise was discovered by Luther, who first brought it into notice by an edition which he published in 1516, of which he says: “And I will say, though it be boasting of myself, and ‘I speak as a fool,’ that, next to the Bible and St. Augustine, no book hath ever come into my hands whence I have learnt, or would wish to learn, more of what God and Christ, and man, and all things, are.” “A precious lump of pure gold in a flag of earth and stone.” “This little volume which is brought out in antique style, is, apart from its intrinsic value, a curiosity of literature. It may be regarded as the harbinger of the Protestant Reformation. No fewer than seventeen editions of this book appeared in his lifetime, and up to the present day it has continued to be a favorite manual of devotion in Germany, where it has passed through certainly as many as sixty editions.”—_Evening Traveller._
