Published by JAMES MILLER, 647 Broadway. SERMONS BY HENRY MELVILL, B. D., Minister of Camden Chapel, Camberwell, and Chaplain to the Tower of London, formerly Fellow and Tutor of St. Peter's College, Cambridge. COMPRISING ALL THE Discourses Published by Consent of the Author, EDITED BY Right Rev. C. P. M'lLLVAINE, D. D., Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Ohio. IN TWO VOLUMES. A NEW EDITION OP FRIENDS IN COUNCIL: A Series of Readings, and Discourse Thereon. By Arthur Helps. Complete iu 2 volumes, 16mo. Cloth, $4.00. Reprinted from the English edition. These volumes may have been suggested by Coleridge's Table Talk, and are in a vein quite similar to the papers furnished by the " Autocrat of the Breakfast- table," though the vein lies much deeper here than there. There is a thread of narrative on which the discussions are strung, and the topics are selected from life, and treated with great variety — some of them with philosophical discernment, skill, and thoroughness. The style is always pure, and the discussions dignified, through the most familiar and animated colloquies ; while the dashes of humor impart geniality and zest. The volumes are always entertaining and suggestive, whether read consecutively or taken np and opened at random for half an hour's literary recreation. — Freewill Baptist Quarterly.
