The Working Man's Family Bible,

WITH

SCOTT AND HENRY'S COMMENTARY,

Condensed by Professor EADIE,

With 6,000 additional Notes, from the great Standard Authors of Europe and America, selected by Dr. M‘GILVRAY,

Which will be delivered to Subscribers, gilt edges, for 21s.

"We know of no Family Commentary to be compared | with it, for fulness, completeness, and adaptation, while the typography is equal to any thing that has been produced, even by Bagster himself........ Had there been a council of the ancients as to the best method of thoroughly popularising Henry and Scott, and turning their prodigious labours to the best account for the millions, a wiser decision could not have been reached. The References are rich and copious-references constituting real parallels, and possessing something more than mere verbal resemblances, the fault of a mass of those that constitute our

popular References. The Notes are remarkably useful, as illustrative of the text, without learned lumber, in which the gist of the criticism is oft-times lost. In these 6,000 or 7,000 Notes, we have really the elements of all the approved criticism now extant....... We have, then, to congratulate Mr. M'Phun on the accomplishment of this great work, incomparably the best of its kind, which will constitute him a great public benefactor, and hand down his name in honourable conjunction with the Word of God to a late posterity."-BRITISH BANNER.

THE LEISURE HOUR:

(988)

A FAMILY JOURNAL of INSTRUCTION and ENTERTAINMENT: Illustrated with Engravings by Eminent Artists.

THE rapid growth of periodical literature is one of the characteristic features of the present day. The weekly journal is adapted to answer ends which are not attained by books. Materials elsewhere provided are, by this agency, presented in such quantities, and with such a regard to adaptation and variety, that the short and broken intervals of daily toil may be turned to profit; and the humblest artisan, though denied access to larger stores of knowledge, may treasure up during his leisure hours abundant facilities of usefulness and pleasure.

It is impossible for the Christian Church to be faithful to its duties, and yet leave this powerful agency unemployed. The various sections of the religious world have been actively engaged in the cultivation of a periodical literature suited to their own wants, and efforts have from time to time been made, not unsuccessfully, to gain the eye of the masses. Yet still, in surveying the prodigious volume of thought which hastens weekly to meet the intellectual wants of the people, it is startling to observe how

EVERY PERSON SHOULD To assist in garnering this fragment of precious time, and to supply the fire-side circle with a copious fund of entertaining information, will be the design of the proposed journal. Avoiding the pernicious principle of creating a distinctli terature for each of the different sections of society, there will be no ostentatious parade of condescension in the choice of topics or the mode of treating them; but animated by feelings of pure catholicity, "THE LEISURE HOUR" will seek to utter scmtiments which shall meet an equally quick response in the parlour and the workshop, the ball and the cottage. While the work will be imbued with a religious spirit, it will comprise papers on every subject which can elevate, gratify, or instruct. Articles on the more prominent topics of the day will be mingled with interesting narratives, instructive sketches from history, visits to places of celebrity in distant parts of the world, popular dissertations on

need not speak. Silence is fittest for it.
The Religious Tract Society having had its atten-
tion called to the subject by many of its supporters,
has determined, as far as practicable, to supply this
deficiency. The projected serial is intended to meet
the requirements of all classes. Its aim will be to
make every vacant moment the means of enriching
the memory with instructive and pleasant thoughts.
In this respect, it will be adapted to meet a common
and growing want. The recent efforts in our cities
and large towns to abridge the hours of business by
means of the Early Closing movement-the tendency
of the Legislature in the same direction, as evinced
by its Act for shortening the period of factory labour-
these, and many other equally significant social
phenomena, seem to indicate, as one of the recognised
principles of the day, that

In carrying out this object, no expense will be spared. The services of able contributors have been secured, and every thing will be done to render "THE LEISURE HOUR" fully commensurate with the wants of the times. The Committee are aware that in fixing so low a price, nothing short of a very extensive sale will avert pecuniary loss. For this they trust to the intrinsic merit of the publication, and to the warm cooperation of their friends and supporters; while they would earnestly supplicate upon the whole undertaking the effectual blessing of Almighty God.

The publication will consist of Sixteen large Pages, printed with new and clear type, on good paper, and illustrated with Engravings.

WEEKLY NUMBERS, price One Penny; or, MONTHLY PARTS, in a neat wrapper, Five-pence.

May be had of Booksellers, Stationers, and other Vendors in Town and Country.

[blocks in formation]

Twelve Engravings of Statues of the Madonna in One Engraving of the Cardinal Virtues-Patience, Nuremberg, elucidated by Mrs. Jameson.

Two Engravings from Drawings from the "Sketch

Book of Moritz Retzsch."

Thirteen Engravings from Drawings by F. W. Fairholt, F.S.A. to illustrate a Day at Chatsworth, by Mrs. S. C. Hall.

by Professor Mücke, of Dusseldorff.
Two Engravings of Examples of Modern German
Artists, from the Illustrated Bible of Baron
Cotta.

Twelve Engravings of Recent Works, to illustrate
the "
Progress of Art-Manufacture."

It will be obvious to all who examine the Four Engravings on Steel above enumerated, that each is of greater value than the sum charged for the whole; and that they are quite equal in size and excellence to the prints which, a few years ago, were published at half-a-guinea each.

This Part, commencing a New Volume with the New Year, affords a favourable opportunity for New Subscribers.

"The Art-Journal.". -The Volume for 1851 is now ready.

This Volume, with the Volumes for 1849 and 1850, form a complete Series of "The Art-Journal" up to 1852, inasmuch as the earlier Volumes, under the title of "The Art-Union Journal," do not necessarily form part of the work. The Vernon Gallery was commenced in January 1849.

The Three Volumes, each published (bound) at One Guinea and a Half, contain One Hundred and Nine fine Engravings on Steel-Six Prints in Colours-and Two Thousand Engravings on Wood. The Volumes may be ordered of any Bookseller in Town or Country.

The VOLUME of

THE ART-JOURNAL ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE"

May now be obtained of any Bookseller at the price of One Guinea.

This Volume will be soon out of print: it cannot be reprinted: and there is no question of its largely augmenting in value. when classed among Scarce Works: those by whom it is required will therefore do well to obtain copies early.

Odd Parts of "The Art-Journal," to complete Volumes, may be obtained of any Bookseller.

Beautiful Christmas and New-Year's Gift.

"The Art-Journal Illustrated Catalogue" (price One Guinea)

Is recommended as a peculiarly appropriate Gift-Book for the Christmas of 1851. "It is at once interesting, useful, and beautiful;" "a valuable reminder of the Exhibition to those by whom it was visited, and equally valuable to those to whom the enjoyment was denied; a beautiful book for the drawing-room; and a useful instructor for all classes." This Volume may still be obtained of any Bookseller; but it will be soon out of print.
