The publishers, without boasting of that in which they have no merit, take the liberty to make a few remarks on the subject of their IMPROVED EDITION of this work.

Two motives determined them to print the work in the octavo form. 1st. The great conveniency of a volume of this size, compared with unwieldy quartes; to accomplish this, types a little smaller than the 4to edition are necessary; but it is confidently believed, that still smaller types would be read with much more ease and comfort, in an oetavo volume, which admits of holding in the hand, bringing nearer to the eye, and turning advantageously to the light. 2d. Cheapness. On this head, the publishers might have rested their claims to the patronage of the Christian public, by submitting their specimens and their prices; but when various tricks and unfounded insinuations are resorted to by interested persons to prevent the unwary from subscribing, it is but jasnice to state, that No 1. of the 8vo. edition, on an improved plan, on a good common paper, and new types, is offered at twelve dollars; while one quarto edition has been sold, and another proposed, at thirty dollars! No. 2. of the 8vo. edition, it is intended, shall be fully equal to the 4to.; and is offered at $ 15! No. 3. will be very superior, and finished in an extra manner, at $21 in boards!

The publishers lay no claim to uncommon disinterestedness, but they can truly say, that a desire superior to that of mere money-making, has induced them to engage in this expensive and arduous publication; and that this valuable work might find its way even into the haunts of indigence and wo, they have offered it at the above reduced prices.

Still, however, there may be found some who, from prejudice or fancy, would prefer the 4to. edition. If any such there are, the publishers would inform them, that they shall be able to supply any probable demand for that edition, as they have been often solicited to exchange their Svo. for the 4to. by those who have purchased the latter.

Indeed, such is the well-founded preference for the 8vo. that a distinguished clergyman, who values this work above all price, writes thus :-" I am so much pleased with your edition in 8vo. that I think I should be willing to exchange my 4to. edition, for your coarse copy."

By a new and highly improved method of printing the copious marginal references in this work, in narrow columes at the foot of the text, and using the common Arabic figures, instead of the Roman numerals, are combined economy of expense; great improvement in the beauty of the pages, which are thus rendered uniform; and much greater facility and comfort in examining the

references.

Another, and not a small improvement, in this edition, will be found in the subdvisions of the text corresponding with those of Dr. Scott's “practical obse

pations." The publishers claim, and have secured by Copy-right, the title to these IMPROVEMENTS.

Did the publishers deem it necessary, they could easily fill a volume with certificates and recommendations, from clergymen and private Christians, of various denominations, of the great merit of SCOTT'S FAMILY BIBLE.....but they do not. The following respectable clergymen, among many others, have expressed their opinions of its character, in the most unqualified terms of approbation, viz.

A new literal translation, from the original Greek, of all the Apostolical Epistles, with a Commentary, and Notes, philological, critical, explanatory, and practical. To which is added, a History of the Life of the Apostle Paul. By James Macknight D.D. Author of a Harmony of the Gospels, &c. In six vols'

8vo. To which is prefixed, an account of the Life of the Author.

"This translation evidently appears to be the result of much labour and reflection. It is in general as it should be, perfectly literal: and many passages which in our common version are obscurely and inaccurately rendered, are given by Dr. Macknight with clearness and precision. Particular attention also is paid to the various senses of the Greek particles, which are largely illustrated in the fourth Essay.”—Eclectic Review.

The Four Gospels, translated from the Greck, with Preliminary Dissertations, and Notes, critical and explanatory. By George Campbell, D. D. F. R. S. Edinburgh, Principal of the Marischal College, Aberdeen. In 4 vols. 8vo. with the Author's last corrections and additions.

"The great reputation of Principal Campbell, renders it unnecessary to produce any testimonies to the merit of this his most distinguished work. Few theological readers are entirely unacquainted with the productions of this excellent and learned man. The favourable reception of his Lectures on Sys tematic Theology, published during the last year, proves the estimation in which he is held by the clergy of the United States."

The History of the Church of Christ. 4 vols. 8vo.

By Joseph Milner.

"It will readily be allowed by all who venerate the bible as the word of God, that next to the study of the sacred oracles, no branch of knowledge is so interesting and important as that which developes the history of the Church of Christ"

"Perhaps there is no excellence so predominant in Mr. Milner's work, as the genuine piety which appears in every page."

"We rise from the perusal of this history with far other impressions of the value and excellence of Christianity, than are produced by almost any other historical work; our faith is strengthened, our hope elevated, and our souls animated with a desire to be followers of those who, through faith and patience, have inherited the promises."

"On the whole, we do not hesitate confidently and earnestly to recommend this history as a valuable addition to the library of every Christian, as a work in which instruction is happily blended with interesting narrative, which the young may be allured to read for the entertainment it affords, and which the advanced Christian will prize for the edification he may derive from it.”— Christian Observer.

The Works of ALEXANDER HAMILTON; comprising his most important Official Reports; an improved edition of the Federalist, on the New Constitution, written in 1788; and Pacificus, on the Proclamation of Neutrality, written in 1793. In 3 vols. 8vo. with portraits of HAMILTON, MADISON, and JAY, engraved by Leney.

7 50 "The appearance of these volumes has given us the most lively satisfaction. They contain the writings of a statesman, whose opinions deserve to be received as oracular, and to be recalled to the public attention at every concur rence of opportunity. The official reports of Gen. Hamilton, as Secretary of the Treasury, and his Essays on the Federal Constitution, form an invaluable nd of solid instruction, and are fitted to yield a rich harvest to the Ameries

name. They display such natural endowments of intellect, and such an accumulation of knowledge, as would have raised their author to the highest offices of national trust, and entitled him to the most splendid rewards of fame, under any free government, whether of antiquity or of modern times.”—American Review.
