STEREOTYPE EDITION. THE Publishers would embrace this opportunity of returning their thanks to the religious public, for that generous appreciation of the present work, which, in the short space of about six months, has already exhausted the large issue of four thousand copies. Regarding this extensive demand for the work, as a verdict of the public that the " Judson Offering" is worthy to take its place as a standard volume in the ranks of missionary literature, the publishers have caused it to be stereotyped. The number of pages has been somewhat increased, by the addition of several articles, chiefly relative to the late departure of the missionaries for Burmah; to make room for which, without unduly enlarging the volume, a few of the poetical articles selected from various sources, and inserted in the former editions, have been omitted in this. article, originally written for the "Judson Offering" has, however, been omitted; nor any one having a special reference to the labors or the sufferings of the venerated missionary whose name it bears.
