LETTERS FROM A FATHER TO HIS SONS IN COLLEGE. 



By Samuel Miller, D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary, Prince- 

 ton, New Jersey. 



The writer of this volume has had five sons trained and graduated in the College 

 of New Jersey. These Letters, not indeed precisely in their present form, but 

 in substance, were actually addressed to them. There is, probably, not one idea 

 contained in this manual which was not, during their course in the Institution, dis- 

 tinctly communicated to them, either orally or in writing. The influence of these 

 counsels on their minds, it is believed, was not wholly useless. May they prove 

 still more useful when presented in this revised and more public form. 



THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY RELIGION ; with a Selection 

 of Hymns and Prayers, adapted to Family Worship, and Tables for the 

 regular Reading of the Scriptures. By the Rev. S. G. Winchester, A. M., 

 late Pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, ,and the Pres- 

 byterian Church at Natchez, Miss. In 1 vol. 12mo. 



The subject is one of incalculable practical importance, and is treated in a mas- 

 terly manner. It contains an able, elaborate and highly instructive Essay on the 

 obligation, nature and importance of Family Religion; and we hope, ere long, it 

 will be found in the Library of every family.

THE BEAUTIES OF HISTORY, or Examples of the Opposite 

 Effects of Virtue and Vice, for the use of Schools and Families, with 

 Questions for the Examination of Students. 1 vol. 12mo., with plates. 



This work is introduced into our High School. It is particularly adapted for a 

 Class Book in all our male and female Seminaries, &c. 



"We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Grigg & Elliot, a very neat 

 duodecimo volume, entitled ' The Beauties of History ; or, Examples of the oppo- 

 site effects of Virtue and Vice, drawn from real life.' After a careful examination 

 of this book, we can conscientiously recommend it to parents and teachers as a 

 most meritorious performance. There are here collected, within a narrow com- 

 pass, the most striking examples of individual virtue and vice which are spread 

 forth on the pages of history, or are recorded in personal biography. The noblest 

 precepts are recommended for the guidance of youth ; and in the most impressive 

 manner is he taught to conquer the degrading impulses which lower the standard 

 of the human character. We have not lately met with a volume which, in design 

 and execution, seemed so acceptable as this. The book, moreover, is handsomely 

 got up, and illustrated with wood engravings."
