      - Books Recently Published continued . particular conclusions , or , indeed , on anything but its manifest labour and patience , the rare and indisputable monuments of knowledge which we find in it , and the surpassing ran ° -e of me thod it includes—logical , philosophical , and imaginative . Not many books have , at anytime , been published with such irresistible claims to attention in these respects ; in our own day we remember none . "—Examiner . " Mr . Mackay brings forward in support of his views an amount of erudition which will prove formidable to his antagonists . Most of the best German editions of the Greek and Latin classics seem to be perfectly familiar to the author , who knows well how to wield such ponderous materials . . . . . . . ' £ he account of the theosophy of Aristotle , given in the first volume is evidently the production of a master of the subject . "—Athe ~ nceuni . " Over the vast area of cloud-land , bounded on one side by the wars of the Christians , and on the other by the last book of the Odyssey , he has thrown the penetrating electric light of modern science , and found a meaning for every fable and phantom by which the mysterious region is haunted . "—Atlas . GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICE OF THE MEMOIR OF WM . ELLER 7 CHANNING , » . 2 > . With Extracts from his Correspondence and Manuscripts . ^ Editedby his Nephew , WILLIAM HENRY CHANNING ; and embellished by two very superior Portraits of Dr . Channing , engraved on steel , from Paintings by the eminent artists Alls ton , 3 jnd Gambardella . 2 vols . post 8 vo , cloth . Published at £ 1 8 s . now reduced to 10 s . 6 d . " It is pleasing to add that objections to the theological tenets of Dr . Channing do not prevent our entertaining a high admiration of his general writings , but this admiration rises to a far higher feeling as we study his biography ; for we see that' singularly lofty as is the spirit which his writing 3 breathe , he was true to them in heart and life : ' and we find the secret of his eloquence in the power which elevated ideas and enlarged conceptions of all that U just , pure , true , grand , beautiful , loving , and holy , had in the transformation of his being . "—Chambers' Journal . * ' This is a valuable contribution to literature . The peculiar eminence reached by Dr . Channing during his life makes a history of himself and of his mind indispensable to the future student of opinion . "—Atheneeum . " It is a work of high merit , and of deep interest . "—Examiner . " He was a remarkable man , and he rendered remarkable service . His mental history is deeply interesting . "—Eclectic Review . " We find it difficult to tear ourselves away from these deeply interesting volumes , which we are disposed to rank among the best biographies of the age . " —CUrhtian Reformer . PHASES OF FAITH ; or PASSAGES FROM THE HISTORY OF MY CREED . By Francis William Newman , Author of " The History of the Hebrew Monarchy , " «« The Soul : her Sorrows and her Aspirations . " Post 8 vo . cloth , 6 s . " In the earlier part of this book singular freshness is given by its autobiographical form and the perfect simplicity with which it lays open every state of mind bearing on the subsequent developments of opinion , you feel yourself in the presence of a mind wholly incapable of the least moral unfairness or selfdeception , and wholly devoted with absolute singleness to the quest of the true and the good . "—Prospective Review . Second Edition , with Additions , THE SOUL : HER SORROWS AND HER ASPIRATIONS . An Essay towards the Natural History of the Soul as the basis of Theology . By Francis William Newman , Formerly Fellow of Baliol College , Oxford , and Author of "A History of the Hebreiv Monarchy . " Post 8 vo . cloth , 6 a . "The book contains more of the genuine life of Christianity than half the books that are coldly elaborated in its defence . The charm of the volume is the tone of faithfulness an J sincerity which it breathes—the evidences which it affords in every page of being drawn direct from the fountains of conviction . "Prospective Review . " On the great ability of the author we need not comment . "Literary Gazette . We have seldom met with so much pregnant and suggestive matter in a small compass as in this remarkable volume . It is distinguished by a force of thought and freshness of feeling rare in the treatment of religious subjects . "—Inquirer . The Prospective Review , in an article on the ' Phases of Faith , " says : — " The earlier treatise ' The Soul , ' so abounds in passages oi solemn and tender devotion , that the reader is borne on the win" over the chasms of its faith , and no more feels it 3 doubts than he would pause upon a heresy let fall in prayer . " A Second Edition , with Explanatory Preface . THE NEMESIS OF FAITH . By J . A . Fkoude , M . A ., Late Fellow of Exeter College , Oxford . Post 8 vo . cloth , 6 s . " The Nemesis of Faith' possesses the first requisites of a book . H has power , matter , and mastery of subject , with that lariyencss which must arise from the writer ' s mind , and that individual character—those truths of detail—which spring from experience or observation . "—Spectator . " The most striking quality in Mr . Froude ' s writings is his descriptive eloquence . Hia quickness of eye is manifest equally in his insight into human minds , and in his perceptions or natural beauty ... The style of the letters is everywhere charming . The confessions of a Sceptic are often brilliant , and always touchin " . The closing narrativo is fluent , graphic , and only too highly wrought in perfect beauty . "—Protective Review , May , 1810 .
