D. APPLETON AND CO.

200 BROADWAY, NEW-YORK,

RESPECTFULLY inform the Literary Public, that they still continue the branch of their house in London, No. 16 Little Britain, as established in 1830, and invite the attention of the friends of Literature to the important advantages the establishment affords for the importation of Books specially ordered. Among the great variety of publications abroad, comparatively few are for sale in this country. A great inconvenience is therefore obviated by this arrangement, as any person may leave his order for any particular work, and by the rapid communication of steamers, the book is at hand in a few weeks.

Professors and Students of Theology, Law, and MedicineArchitects, Mechanics, and all who are unable to procure foreign Books in our own country, may, for the small commission of ten per cent. on the cost, procure any work published in any part of Europe.

Books for incorporated Institutions will be imported free of duty.

Ď. A. & Co. have, in addition to their branch in London, an Agent in Leipsic, for the supply of all orders for Books published throughout Germany-also in Brussels, Paris, Florence, and Madrid; so that they are prepared to execute, with great fidelity and promptness, all orders intrusted to their care from any portion of the Continental Book-market.

The necessity of such facilities for a speedy supply of Books from the great Book-marts of Europe, has long been felt. The advantages which they offer to Literary Institutions, Professional Gentlemen, and the Literary Public at large, all will acknowledge.

D. A. & Co.'s Literary Bulletin, containing a list of all books published during every month in Great Britain, together with a selected list of all Continental books, with the prices affixed, and other important literary information, is published immediately on the arrival of the steamer of the 1st of every month. As this periodical is furnished gratis, gentlemen who desire to receive it will please address the publishers, 200 Broadway.

Orders for single copies or by the quantity, will be received until 3 1-2 o'clock the day previous to the sailing of the steamer from Boston, on the 15th and 16th of each month.

The same facilities extended to the public by this circular, will be executed at as low prices and with equal promptness, by GEORGES. APPLETON, 148 Chesnut-street, Philadelphia.

COMPLETE WORKS OF MR. RICHARD HOOKER; WITH AN ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE AND DEALH.

BY ISAAC WALTON.

ARRANGED BY THE REV. JOHN KEBLE, M. A.

In two elegant octavo volumes.-Price $4 00.

CONTENTS.

The Editor's Preface comprises a general survey of the former edition of Hooker's Works, with Historical Illustrations of the period. After which, follows the Life of Hooker, by Isaac Walton. Those articles occupy nearly two-fifths of the first volume of the English edition. His chief work succeeds, on the "Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity." It commences with a lengthened Preface designed as an Address "to them who seek the Reformation of the Laws and Orders Ecclesiastical of the Church of England."

The discussion is divided into eight books, which include an investigation of the topics thus stated.

1. Laws and their several kinds in general.

2. The use of the divine law contained in Scripture; whether that be the only law which ought to serve for our direction in ali things without exception; or whether Scripture is the only rule of all things, which, in this life, may be done by men.

3. Laws concerning Ecclesiastical Polity, whether the form thereof be in Scripture so set down that no addition or change is lawful: or whether, in Scripture, there must be of necessity contained a form of church polity, the laws whereof may in no wise be altered. 4. General exceptions taken against the laws of our polity, as being popish, and banished out of certain reformed churches; or the assertion, that our form of church polity is cor rupted with popish orders, rites, and ceremonies, banished out of certain reformed churches, whose example therein we ought to have followed.

5. The fifth book occupies two-fifths of the whole work, subdivided into eighty-one chapters, including all the principal topics which, in the sixteenth century, were the subjects of polemical disputation between the members of the Established Church of England and the Puritans. The character and extent of the research can accurately be understood from this general delineation. Our laws that concern the public religious duties of the church, and the manner of bestowing that Order, which enableth men, in sundry degrees and callings, to execute the same; or the assertion that touching the several duties of the Christian religion, there is among us much superstition retained in them; and concerning persons who, for performance of those duties, are endued with the power of ecclesiastical order, and laws and proceedings according thereunto, are many ways herein also corrupt.

6. The Power of Jurisdiction, which the Reformed platform claimeth unto lay-elders, with others; or the assertion, that our laws are corrupt and repugnant to the laws of God, in matters belonging to the power of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, in that we have not, throughout all churches, certain lay-elders established for the exercise of that power.

7. The Power of Jurisdiction, and the honour which is annexed thereunto in Bishops, or the assertion, that there ought not to be in the Church, Bishops endued with such authority and honour as ours are.

8. The power of ecclesiastical dominion. or supreme authority, which with us, the highest governor or prince hath, as well in regard of domestical jurisdiction, as of that other foreignly claimed by the Bishop of Rome; or the assertion, that to no civil prince or governor there may be given such power of ecclesiastical dominion, as by the laws of the land belongeth unto the supreme regent thereof.

After those eight Books of "The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity," follow two Sermons, "The certainty and perpetuity of Faith in the elect; especially of the Prophet Habakkuk's faith ;" and "Justification, Works, and how the foundation of faith is overthrown."

Next are introduced-"A supplication made to the Council by Master Walter Travers," and "Mr. Hooker's answer to the supplication that Mr. Travers made to the council." Then follow two sermons-"On the nature of pride,”—and a "Remedy against sorrow and fear."

Two Sermons on part of the epistle of the Apostle Jude, are next inserted-with a prefatory dedication, by Henry Jackson.

The last article in the works of Mr. Hooker is, a Sermon on Prayer.

To render the work more valuable and adapted for reference and utility to the Student, a very copious Topical Index is added.

The English edition in three volumes sells at $10 00. The American is an exact reprint, at less than half the price.

From Lowndes' British Librarian and Book-Collector's Guide.

Keble's preface, like Walton's life, should precede every subsequent edition. "Hooker is universally distinguished for long drawn melody and mellifluence of lan guage, and his works must find a place in every well chosen clerical library."

BURNET'S HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION. The History of the Reformation of the Church of England, by GILBERT BURNET, D. D., late Lord Bishop of Salisbury-with the Collection of Records and a copious Index, revised and corrected, with additional Notes and a Preface, by the Rev. E. Nares, D. D., late Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford. Illustrated with a Frontispiece and twenty-three engraved Portraits, forming four elegant 8vo. vols. $8.00.

A cheap Edition is printed, containing the History in three vols. without the Records-which form the fourth volume of the above.-Price, in boards, $2 50.

To the student either of civil or religious history no epoch can be of more importance than that of the Reformation in England. It signalized the overthrow, in one of its strongest holds, of the Roman power, and gave an impulse to the human mind, the full results of which are even now but partly realized. Almost all freedom of inquiry-all toleration in matters of religion, had its birth-hour then; and without a familiar acquaintance with all its principal events, but little progress can be made in understanding the nature and ultimate tendencies of the revolution then effected.

The History of Bishop BURNET is one of the most celebrated and by far the most frequently quoted of any that has been written of this great event. Upon the original publication of the first volume, it was received in Great Britain with the loudest and most extravagant encomiums. The author received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament, and was requested by them to continue the work. In continuing it he had the assistance of the most learned and eminent divines of his time; and he confesses his indebtedness for important aid to LLOYD, TILLOTSON, and STILLINGFLEET, three of the greatest of England's Bishops. "I know," says he, in his Preface to the second volume," that nothing can more effectually recommend this work, than to say that it passed with their hearty approbation, after they had examined it with that care which their great zeal for the cause concerned in it, and their goodness to the author and freedom with him, obliged them to use."

The present edition of this great work has been edited with laborious care by Dr. Nares, who professes to have corrected important errors into which the author fell, and to have made such improvements in the order of the work as will render it far more useful to the reader or historical student. Preliminary explanations, full and sufficient to the clear understanding of the author, are given, and marginal references are made throughout the book, so as greatly to facilitate and render accurate its consultation. The whole is published in four large octavo volumes of six hundred pages in each-printed upon heavy paper in large and clear type. It contains portraits of twenty-four of the most celebrated characters of the Reformation, and is issued in a very neat style. It will of course find a place in every theologian's library—and will, by no means, we trust, be confined to that comparatively limited sphere.-N. Y. Tribune.

BURNET ON THE XXXIX. ARTICLES.

An Exposition of the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England. By GILBERT BURNET, D. D., late Bishop of Salisbury. With an Appendix, containing the Augsburg Confession, Creed of Pope Pius IV., &c. Revised and corrected, with copious Notes and additional References, by the Rev. James R. Page, A. M., of Queen's College, Cambridge. In one handsome 8vo. volume. $2 00.

"No Churchman, no Theologian, can stand in need of information as to the character or value of Bishop Burnet's Exposition, which long since took its fitting place as one of the acknowledged and admired standards of the Church. It is only needful that we speak of the labours of the editor of the present edition, and these appear to blend a fitting modesty with eminent industry and judgment. Thus, while Mr. Page has carefully verified, and in many instances corrected and enlarged the references to the Fathers, Councils, and other authorities, and greatly multiplied the Scripture citations-for the Bishop seems in many cases to have forgotten that his readers would not all be as familiar with the Sacred Text as himself, and might not as readily find a passage even when they knew it existed-he (Mr. P.) has scrupulously left the text untouched, and added whatever illustrative matter he has been able to gather in the form of Notes and an Appendix. The documents collected in the latter are of great and abiding value."
