4. The HISTORY of the CRUSADES against the ALBIGENSES, in the Thirteenth Century. Translated from the French of J. C. L. Simonde de Sismondi. With an Introductory Essay by the Translator. 8vo. Price 8s.

Although the history of the unfortunate Albigenses has been [frequently told, yet few writers have, we believe, bestowed so much industrious research upon it as the modern historian of France, and none have examined and canvassed it more thoroughly. We rejoice, therefore, that this great episode in the history of France has been presented to us in an English dress. The translator of the volume before us, who has executed his task in a very satisfactory manner, has prefixed to it a well-written introduction."-New Monthly Magazine.

5. The VISION of the HEAVENLY WORLD; to which is prefixed a Memoir of Mrs. Eliza Leslie, who died at Monghyr, Hindostan, April 8th, 1826. By Andrew Leslie. 12mo. boards.

The Author is evidently possessed of a vigorous imagination, an acute judgment, and a feeling heart. We can cordially commend both the design and the execution of his Work."-New Baptist Miscellany.

6. SOUL PROSPERITY; or the Closet Companion. By John Dennant. 12mo. bds. new Edition, revised. Price 4s. "We think the volume well adapted for general usefulness. The author has compressed many important topics into a small compass; and we think his work cannot be read by any Christian without benefit, but that it is pecularly adapted to instruct and improve those who have neither time to read nor the means to procure, larger treatises."-Congregational Magazine.
