THE YOUNG- MAN PROM EOME.

In a senes of Letters, especially directed for the Moral Advancement of Youth. By the

Rev, John Angell James . Fifth edition, 1 vol. I8mo.

This work, from the able and prolific pen of Mr. James , is not inferior, we think, to any of its pre-decessors. It contemplates a young man at the most critical period of iife, and meets him at every*A»int as a guide in the paths of virtue, as a guard from the contagious influence of vice. Every youngman who desnes to fonn a viituous and useful character, should possess himself of this admirabl®work ; and every Christian parent, whose sons are leaving the patenial mansion for another home,should take care that they carry avvay with them this rieh treasury of Christian counsel and instruo-tion .Albany Advertiser

THE CHRISTIAN PROFESSOR

Addressed in a series of Counsels and Cautions to the Members of Christian Chnrches. B 7

Rev. John Angell James . 1 vol. 18mo.

The author vemarks in this excellent volume : When I look into the New Testament , and readwhat a Christian should be, and then look iuto the church of God, and see what Christians are , I ampainfully affected by observing the dissimilanty ; and in my jealousy for the honour of the ChristianProfession, have müde this effort, perhaps a leeble one, and certainly au anxious one, to remove itsbiemishes, to restore its impaired beauty, and thusraise its reputation.

It is not my intention to enter into the eonsideration of private, experimental, or doctrinal reli-giös, so much as into its practical parts *, and to contemplate the believer rather as a professor, than aChristian , or at least, rather as a Christian in relation to the world, than in his individual capacity, orin his retirement.

The following are the divisions under which he treats his subject, viz.: What the Christian pro-fession imporls : its Obligation and Design ; the Dangers nf Self-Deception ; the Young Professor ;au attempt to compare the present geueration of Professors with others that have preceded them ; th®necessity and importance of Professors notbeing satisfied with low degrees of Piety, and of their seek-ing to attain to eminence ; the duty of Professors to avoid the appearance of evil; on Conformities tothe World ; on the Conduct of Professors in retWence to Politioa ; on ßrotherly Love ; the Influemof Professors ; their Conduct towards Unconverted Relatives; the Unmarried Professor; the Profes-sor in Prosperity ; in Adversity ; the Conduct of Professors away from Home ; the Backsliding Pro-fessor ; on the necessity of the Holy Spirits Influence to sustain the Christian Profession ; the DyingProfessor.

HAPFINESS, ITS NATURE AND SOURCES.

By Rev. John Angell James . 1 vol. 32mo.

Thisis written in the excellent authoris best vein. He has, with asearching fidelity, exposed thevarious unsatisfying expedients by which the natural heart seeks to attain the great end and aim ofallhappiness, and with powerfui and touching exhortations directed it to the never-failing source ofall good. The author does not engage himself in speculations or theories. The results of extendedobservation, the testimony of well-at.tested experience, are arrayed, in the light of which the true wayand the false are clearly seen. It is eloquently and pointedly written. A better book We have not ina long time seen. Evangelist .

THE WIDOW DIRECTED

To the Widows G-od. By the Rev, John Angell James . 1 vol. 18mo.

Ifany thing more were necessary to give this book currency with the Christian community thanthe name of its author, we should have it in the. peculiurly tender and interesting nature of the subjecton which he writes. He has written many good books. and all belong to the same general dass ; and-though some of them are more generally applicable than this, yet in no one, perhaps, has he discover-ed a more skilful hand, or a more tender and devout spirit. The book is worthy to be read by otherabesides the dass for which it is especially designed ; and we doubt not that it is destined to como as afriendly visiter to many a house of mourning, and as a healine balm to many a wounded heart.
