MOSHEIM'S CHURCH HISTORY, 



Ancient and Modern, from the birth of Christ to the Eighteenth Century, in 

 which the Rise, Progress, and Variations of Church Power are considered in their 

 connection with the state of Learning and Philosophy ; and the Political History of 

 Europe during that period, continued up to the present time, by Charles Coote, 

 LL. D. 806 pages, 1 vol., quarto, spring back, marbled edge. 



From (he Gospel Herald. 

 This edition forms the most splendid volume of Church History ever issued from 

 the American press; is printed with large type, on elegant paper, and altogether 

 forms the most accessible and imposing history of the Church that is before the 

 public. The former editions of Mosheim have ever been objectionable in conse- 

 quence of the amount of matter crowded into a single page. To do this, very small 

 type were necessarily used, and the lines were so crowded, that the close and con- 

 tinued perusal of the work was very injurious to the eyes. This edition avoids all 

 these evils, and we most heartily recommend it. 



From the Masonic Review. 

 This great standard history of the Church from the birth of Christ, has just been 

 issued in a new dress by the extensive publishing house of Applegate & Co. Nothing 

 need be said by us in relation to the merits or reliability of Mosheim's History : it 

 has long borne the approving seal of the Protestant world. It has become a standard 

 work, and no public or private library is complete without it; nor can an individual 

 be well posted in the history of the Christian Church for eighteen hundred yeara, 

 without having carefully studied Mosheim. We wish, however, particularly to 

 recommend the present edition. The pages are in large double columns ; the type is 

 large and very distinct, and the printing is admirable, on fine white paper. It ia 

 really a pleasure to read such print, and we recommend our friends to purchase this 

 edition of this indispensable work. 



From the Telescope, Dayton, O. 



This work has been placed upon our table by the gentlemanly and enterprising 

 publishers, and we are glad of an opportunity to introduce so beautiful an edition of 

 this standard Church history to our readers. The work is printed on beautiful white 

 paper, clear large type, and is bound in one handsome volur^e. No man ever sat 

 down to read Mosheim in so j^leasing a dress. What a treat is such an edition to 

 one who has been studying this elegant work in small close print of other editions. 

 Any one who has not an ecclesiastical history should secure a copy of this edition. 



It is not necessary for us to say anything in relation to the merits of Mosheim's 

 Cliurch History. For judgment, taste, candor, moderation, simplicity, learning, 

 accuracy, order, and comprehensiveness, it is unequaled. The author spared no 

 pains to examine the original authors and " genuine sources of sacred history," and 

 to scrutinize all the facts presented by the light of the " pure lamps of antiquity." 



From Professor Wriglitson. 

 Whatever book has a tendency to add to our knowledge of God, or the character 

 or conduct of his true worshipers, or that points out the errors and mistakes of for- 

 mer generations, must have an elevating, expanding, and purifying influence on the 

 human mind. Fully as important, however, is it that all the facts and phases of 

 events should be exhibited with truthfulness, perspicuity, and vigor. To the Chris- 

 tian world, next to the golden Bible itself, in value, is an accurate, faithful, and life- 

 like delineation of the rise and progress, the development and decline of the Christian 

 Church in all its varieties of sects and denominations, their tenets, doctrines, man- 

 ners, customs, and government. Such a work is Mosheim's Ecclesiastical History. 

 Like " Rollin's History of the Ancients," it is the standard, and is too well known 

 to need a word of comment.
