THE DIVINE ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY, 



Deduced from some of those Evidences which are not founded on the nutheuticity of

 " III reviewing these volumes, we cannot but liave received a deep impression of (lieir value, and a 

 strong feeling of gratitude that s,i copious a liody of information, hitherto accessible only to a few 

 Scholars and men of leisure, i-" here placed within the reach of popular r.'aders, m;idc attractive even 

 to those whose minds are not inured to literary toil, and applied, by calm, judicious, and powerful 

 reasoning, to the most beneficial of all intellectual and practical purposes." — Eclectic Rev., Sept. 1829.

The Eclectic Review for 31 arch, 1 824, in an elaborate Article on this Work, speaks ofita»"exe. 

 cuted by one who evidently possesses a refined understanding and an elegant taste, conihined with 

 genuine religinus feeling ;" adding, ' we cannot refrain from expressing our cordial wish that the 

 success of the undei faking may be commensurate with the excellence of the design, and exerting all 

 our influence in its favour." 



Ptiblishing: in Volumes, Ss. 6d. each, ISmo.or, 6s. 12mo., with Portraits, 



AUTOBIOGRAPHY ; a Collection of the most instructive and 



amusing- Lives ever Published, written by the Parties themselves. With original Intro- 

 ductions and Sequels. 



Both general and particular Title-pages are supplied, so that any Life may be obtained 

 complete, separately ; a Portrait of each Writer is given, whenever a suiEciently authentic 

 likeness can be procured. 



Besides other advantages, this series will include cheap editions of many scarce and 

 curious works, which cannot at present be obtained without considerable trouble, even at 

 high prices. 



" It was a happy idea which led to the incorporation of all the most interesting Lives by the sub- 

 jects themselves in one uniform series of volumes." — Atlas. 



" No description of reading comes so near works of fiction and fascination as biography ; and of all 

 kinds of biography, autobiography, written with talent, and in the spirit of frankness, is at once the 

 most delightful to the genera! reader, and the most instructive to the philosopher who studies the 

 springs of action in human character." — Scotsman. 



" A well imagined and cheap publication, valuable alike for the man of letters and the general 

 reader." — Globe. 



" There is something charming in any individual's life of himself; but so great a variety of auto- 

 biography, and in one work too, will form an ornament to our literature, which, as we admire, we 

 shall wonder we have been so long without it. The r.eatness of this collection — the well-written in- 

 troductions and sequels (carrying each life down to the death of the author) — the spirited heads of 

 several autobiographers ; and, above all, tlie clieapness (a volume of 310 close printed pages, for 

 instance, for 3s. 6d.) are high recommendations." — Ti/»e Mercttri/.
