"Since Dr. Chalmers, no Scottish divine has produced sermons more eloquent and impressive than those contained in this volume. or three extracts will show that this book is different from the ordinary pulpit style which has rendered a sermon' almost a synonym for any composition which is dull, formal, and unattractive."-Literary Gazette.

"To our friends south of the Scottish Border, who do not know Dr. Guthrie, we say, Procure this volume and read it, and you will feel that you have made the acquaintance of a man whom it were worth while to go some distance to see."-British Quarterly Review.

DISCOURSES ON THE RESURRECTION.

BY ROBERT S. CANDLISH, D.D.

"These Discourses are undoubtedly far superior to the general run of sermons, in vigour of style, power of reasoning, and force, if it is not to be called felicity of illustration."-Spectator.

HANDBOOK FOR SURREY, HANTS, AND THE ISLE OF WIGHT. Map. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.

The object of MURRAY'S HANDBOOKs is to give matter-of-fact descriptions of what ought to be seen at each place, and is calculated to interest an intelligent English traveller, without bewildering him with an account of all that may be seen;-to avoid chronological details, and instead of abridging the records of a town from beginning to end, to select such local anecdotes as are connected with remarkable events which have happened there, or with distinguished men who have lived there ;-to adopt as simple and condensed a style as possible, avoiding florid descriptions and exaggerated superlatives;-and to use the descriptions of others, where good and correct, rather than obtrude extracts from the Editor's own journals.
