The Young Man's Book : or Lectures for the Times. 

 By WILLIAM W. PATTON. One 12mo. vol. 



The lectures contained in this volume are not made up of merely common place 

 remarks. They are elevated in sentiment, chaste in style, and impressive in manner. 

 No person who reads the volume can fail to profit by ft, or to admire the evangelical 

 views and elegant language of the author. The work deserves to be a favorite with 

 young men. Northern Christian Advocate. 



It is a genial, earnest, manly book. The author is himself a remarkable example 

 of independent thinking and philanthropic feeling. The bugle note which he sou mis 

 to young men is no uncertain sound. He goes with his whole soul for bettering the 

 world, where he thinks it bad, and few of "the- young men who heard his lectures or 

 shall read his book, will not be strongly inclined to go wilh him. We co.rditt.lly advise 

 all young men who are anxious to do and be something in this universe, to cultivate 

 an acquaintance with Mr. Fatton or his book. Boston Cfironotype. 



There are seven lectures in this volume devoted to subjects rather unusual in a 

 work of this kind, and having the impress of earnest feeling and reflection. That 

 (some of the points are overstated does not detract from the exceeding value and im 

 portance of most of the views presented all the more important because so infre 

 quently attended to in the pulpit, or in works designed for the. young. The book is 

 written in a perspicuous and forcible style, and both from its matter and spirit is 

 likely to become popular and useful. New 'York Evangelist. 



This is an excellent book excellent in its purpose, in its execution, and in its 

 adaptation to the present day. In some respects ihia book differs from all kindred 

 works that we have seen. As a writer Mr. Patton is lucid, earnest, and direct, never 

 obscure and seldom other than forcible. Regarded merely aa a literary performance 

 we must pronounce these lectures highly creditable. Their timely and important 

 moral inculcations should commend them more especially to the friends of religion 

 and entitle them to a place in every Christian household. Charier Oak. 



These are able and earnest lectures to young men, delivered to the author's con 

 gregation in Hartford, arid contain many valuable considerations and glowing appeals 

 to rouse the youth to diligence, courage, and faith in the struggle of life. New York 

 Observer. 



The counsels, warning?, and encouragements, to the young, contained in this vol 

 ume, are, as designed, adapted to the times. It is interesting in its style as well as 

 matter, and cannot fail to profit that class to whom it is addressed. The (Boston) 

 Puritan. 



The author of these lectures is himself a young man. He has addressed those of 

 his own age, not with the stern reproof or grave counsel of a father, but with the af 

 fectionate entreaty, kind, yet faithful warning of a brother. The subjects of the lec 

 tures are judiciously selected and cannot fail of doing good to those who are soon to 

 bear the burdens and responsibilities of society. Boston Recorder. 



A volume of lectures, seven in number, on subjects of vast importance, and writ 

 ten with much force. The book will profit those who read it. Neio York Commer 

 cial Advertiser. 



The lectures were delivered on Sabbath evenings to densely crowded audiences, 

 and were spoken of in terms of high praise at the time. At the request of many who 

 heard them they are now published. The lectures are valuable, containing a vast 

 amount of good'advice and information for that class of persons for whom they were 

 originally designed, and in a time like the present, when pernicious literature ap 

 pears to be the order of the day, they are still more acceptable. (Hartford) Chris 

 tian Secretary. 



We can positively say that the object of the work is most praiseworthy, the sub 

 jects treated of are important, the counsels it contains are weighty, and are enforced 

 in a happy style with a spirit well calculated to gain the attention of those who are 

 addressed. Hartford (Ct.) Courant. 



In design and execution it is worthy to go side by side with the late popular and 

 widely circulated work known as Reseller's Lectures to Young Men. The fifth lec 

 ture is well suited to our columns and we hope to give it a place ere long. N. Y. 

 Advocate and Family Guardian.
