A: DISCOURSE on the STUDIES of the UNI

VERSITY of CAMBRIDGE.

By ADAM SEDGWICK, M.A., F.R.S., &c.
Woodwardian Professor, and Fellow of Trinity College.

THE, recent attacks on physical science,
and the gross misapprehension of its
moral tendency, have been singularly
wanton and ill-timed. ... A sceptic
may, indeed, think that the whole system
of things, moral and physical, has no
principle of continued rest,-that it has
only been jostled into a condition of un.
stable equilibrium, which may be de-
stroyed by the first movement of any of
the component elements, Such a one

may reasonably fear the progress of discovery; for his system wants the essential principles of cohesion. But a sincere believer in the word of God has no fear of this kind; for he knows that all the parts of the natural world are wisely fitted to. gether that the Lord of all nature is a being without variableness or shadow of turning, and that truth, of whatever kind, as seen in the mind of man, is but a perception of his Maker's will.—Ap.

THE TEXT of the ENGLISH BIBLE, as now

printed by the Universities, considered with reference to a REPORT by a SUB-COMMITTEE of DISSENTING MINISTERS. By THOMAS TURTON, D.D.,

Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, and Dean of Peterborough.

AT the suggestion of several friends, on whose judgment I have every reason to place confidence, I publish a Second Edition of my Essay on the Text of the English Bible. It has been thought, that by extending the plan of the work, an opportunity would be presented of introducing

a series of useful illustrations of Scripture Language, in a form not unlikely to secure aftention. ... In the addition now made to the work, the main object has been, to communicate information respecting matters of permanent interest.— Advertisement to Second Edition.

OATHS; their ORIGIN, NATURE, and HISTORY.

By J. E. TYLER, B.D.,

Rector of St. Giles' in the Fields, and late Fellow of Oriel College.

THE practical questions on which the Author has endeavoured in this Treatise to throw light, are chiefly three :

1st. Are Oaths in themselves lawful to a Christian? or are they altogether prohibited by the Gospel?

In the remarks and suggestions which the Author has ventured to offer on the present state of Oaths in England, the principle by which he professes to have been guided is this, that whilst change, generally speaking, is, in itself, an evil, and is, therefore, never to be adopted lightly, or for its own sake, nevertheless, it is the office not of hatred but of love, not of unkindness but of friendship, not of rashness, but of judgment, first to in

2nd. If Oaths are in themselves law. ful, are they, as at present administered aud taken in England, calculated to promote truth and justice? And are they agreeable to the religion which we profess?quire with diligence for the tafest and

N ELEMENTARY TREATISE on the DIF-
FERENTIAL and INTEGRAL CALCULUS.

By the Rev. T. G. HALL, M. A.,

• Professor of Mathematics at King's College, London, and late Fellow and Tutor of Magdalen College, Cambridge.

A knowledge of the principles of this branch of the pure Mathematics is absolutely necessary, before any one can successfully undertake the perusal of works on Natural Philosophy, in which the effects of the observed laws that goveru the material world are reduced to calcu lation.

For Students deficient in this know

lege, yet anxious to obtain as much in-
formation as may enable them to master
the chief analytical difficulties incident
to the study of elementary treatises on
the mixed mathematics, this book has
been written: with the hope, too, that
by its means a subject of high interest
may be rendered accessible to an increased
number of readers.

A DAILY PRAYER BOOK, for the Use of

Families and Schools.

By JONATHAN T. BARRETT, D.D.,
Rector of Beauchamp Roding, Essex.

This Book of Family Devotion is not only drawn up in the language of the Church, but agreeably to her Form and Order for Morning and Evening Service throughout the year; and hence is calculated to lead and confirm her members in her edifying mode of worship at Common Prayer.

Following her example in the Public Congregation, it first draws the attention of the Family to the declaration of God's mercy to all penitent sinners, as set forth in Scripture and after a brief exhortation, applicable to the passages selected for this purpose, and calculated to unite them with the duties of repentance, it proceeds, in the natural order of Christian devotion, to confession, to supplication, to praise, to prayer, to thanksgiving, and to

benediction: dividing the duty as the occasion offers, between the Master and the Household, by the interchange of sentences and responses. This mode of prayer in the congregation by alternate recitation, has been the usage of the Church from the earliest period at which we have any knowledge of the form and matter of her worship; and while it recommends itself to us by its natural, unassuming, and equitable character; by its tendency to excite in us a social spirit of devotion. to cheer, to animate, and warm our hearts; it moreover carries with it the authority of cur rulers, as influenced by the powerful example of the inspired servants of God on earth, and of His angelic hosts in heaven.

FAITH and PRACTICE; or, The Application of

Christian Principles to the Practical Duties of Life.

By a LADY.

It appears to the Author that there is a want of some publication, which would bring home to the scholars the principles of our holy religion, as applicable to their conduct in the common concerns of life. The religion we profess has been too often considered a mere science, to be learnt as the sciences of Grammar, or Geometry, or Music are learnt. Young people too often take for granted, that all they are told, with respect to Christianity, is true, and

believe it on the authority of their teachers, in the same manner as they give credit to what they are told by them with respect to Geography or Arithmetic; and, unfortunately, the indifference with which these sciences are treated, and the little interest they excite, are too often extended to that infinitely much more important branch of knowledge, the know. ledge of Christianity, the knowledge of their duty, as laid down in the Gospel.

A FEW WORDS ON THE SIN OF LYING.

"Accustom your children to a strict at tentio to truth, even in the most minute particulars. If a thing happened at one windos, and they, when relating it, say

that it happened at another do not let it pass, but instantly check them; you do not know where deviation from truth will end."-Dr. JOHNSON.

RUDIMENTS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE, Or, FIRST FRENCH READING BOOK.

CONTAINING Rules and Exercises on Pronunciation; Principles of Translation, with Exercises for Translating French into English; and a Lexicon of Words, including irregular Verbs, which cannot be found in any Dictionary hitherto published. PRICE 3s. 6d.

I would not have been at the trouble of compiling the present work, could I have found one to answer my purpose better, or even so well. It is singular, that while so many Grammars have been written, to teach the student how to translate English into French, no book (to my knowledge at least,) has yet appeared to enable a beginner to translate French into English...... The EXERCISES in the present work have been made progressive, so as to lead the pupil from the easiest sentences to the most difficult passages.-Introduction.

LIVRE DE CLASSE.

This work, intended as a Reading-Book for the Upper Classes in Schools, as well as for Private Students, consists of several books of Anacharsis and of Télémaque, followed by copious extracts from the best French writers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: to these are added specimens of French Poetry, and a Lexicon of the proper names which occur in the book. In the Notes, the Editor has endeavoured, not only to explain difficult phrases, but by frequently quoting the original passages which the French writers have imitated from the Ancients, to establish a connecting link between French and Classical Literature. Price 5s.

MORCEAUX D'HISTOIRE.

THIS little work consists of Extracts from the best French Historians, such as Bossuet, Montesquieu, Rollin, Barthélémy, Vertot, Hénault, St. Réal, Sismondi, Mignet, &c. The historical information which this work affords, the various styles of composition it exhibits, and the unexceptionable character of its contents, render it peculiarly fit for the instruction of youth.

FRENCH POETRY WITH ENGLISH NOTES. A NEW EDITION, WITH ADDITIONS. 2s.

"Can you recommend me a good book of FRENCH POETRY for Children?" is a question which the Editor of this little volume has frequently been asked, and to which he has hitherto found it difficult, if not impossible, to give a satisfactory reply. · A book of FRENCH POETRY for Children, has then remained to this day a desideratum, and to supply it, the Edito: publishes this little volume, in the hope that it will be received as a well-meant effort on his part, to add one more to the useful class of elementary books, and to render at the same time the study of his own language a means of instilling into the mind of the youthful reader the principles of good taste and sound morality.-—Introduction.

SACRED MUSIC OF THE GREATEST MASTERS,
OF ALL AGES AND NATIONS;

ARRANGED as SOLOS. DUETS, TRIOS, CHORUSSES, &c., and with
ACCOMPANIMENTS for the PIANO-FORTE or ORGAN.

THIS work will comprise such of the best productions of the English, German, and Italian schools, as are calculated for social purposes; a large proportion of which are either altogether unknown in this country, many inaccessible, from the magnitude and cost of the volumes which contaia them, and the whole useless to all but professional musicians from the impracticable shape in which they have been published. From these, and other sources, will be selected such as are best suited to the object in view; and they will be so re-constructed and arranged, as to at them for private performance.

The exclusive nature of nearly all existing collections of Sacred Music, therefore, renders the present undertaking particularly desirable; sacred compositions could they be procured in a familiar form, and on reasonable terms, would partake of that patronage which is now almost wholly bestowed on works of a secular kind. These desiderata it is intended to supply, and thus place within reach of families, and of amateurs unaccustomed to playing from score, really good, prac. tical music,-classical, yet not laboriously and uselessly learned,—in a form and at a price which will deter none from becoming purchasers.

Each Monthly Part (price 1s. 6d.) will contain from Four to Six, or even more Pieces of Music, varying in number according to their length, together with literary and biographical notices of the composers, and of the authors of the poetry.
