Word-Studies in the New Testament.
By MARVIN R. VINCENT, D.D.
The Synoptic Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles of Peter, James and Jude, 8vo. $4.00.
_The_ REV. DR. HOWARD CROSBY _says_:
Dr. Vincent’s “Word-Studies in the New Testament” is a delicious book. As a Greek scholar, a clear thinker, a logical reasoner, a master in English, and a devout sympathizer with the truths of revelation, Dr. Vincent is just the man to interest and edify the Church with such a work as this. Thousands will take delight in handling the gems which he has brought to view by his careful research and judicious discrimination. There are few scholars who, to such a degree as Dr. Vincent, mingle scholarly attainment with aptness to impart knowledge in attractive form. All Bible-readers should enjoy and profit by these delightful “Word-Studies.”
_The_ REV. THEODORE L. CUTLER, D.D., _in the New York Evangelist_.
A huge wagon, packed and piled with the golden sheaves of many years of thorough Bible research, is this precious volume. It is not a commentary. It is not a dictionary. It is not a series of dry scraps on philology or lexicography. It is not a cyclopedia for lazy ministers to crib sermons from. It is just like no other work on the New Testament that we can find elsewhere, and therefore it fills a niche that has hitherto been left empty. The very things which a young minister—and many an older one, also—ought to know about the chief _words_ in his New Testament, he will be able to learn in this affluent volume.

THE SELF-REVELATION OF GOD.
By SAMUEL HARRIS, D.D., LL.D, Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale College.
8vo, uniform with the “Philosophical Basis of Theism.” $3.50.
“Such a work is not brought out in a day, but is the growth of years of professional study and reflection. Few books on Apologetics have been recently produced that will be more influential and formative upon the mind of the theological or philosophical student, or more useful.”—Prof. W’M. G. T. SHEDD, D.D., _in the Presbyterian Review_.
“We do not know a better work among recent publications than this one for building up old hopes and giving a new strength to one’s faith. The book is thoroughly evangelic, fresh, and well wrought out.”—BISHOP HURST, _in Northwestern Christian Advocate_.
“The extent of literary, philosophical and theological learning which the work displays is remarkable. The style is vigorous, luminous, finished, and sometimes brilliant.”—_Boston Daily Advertiser._

History of Modern Philosophy.
DESCARTES AND HIS SCHOOL.
By KUNO FISCHER. Translated by J. P. GORDY. Edited by NOAH PORTER. 8vo. $3.50.
“It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this work. The author is remarkable for the lucidity, order, and thoroughness of his expositions, and is by far the best historian of modern philosophy.”—_Boston Beacon._
SOME PROBLEMS OF PHILOSOPHY.
By ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER, Professor of Philosophy in Columbia College. 12mo. $1.00.
“For clearness and profundity of thought, deftness of presentation, and lucidity of style, Professor Alexander’s book is not surpassed by any philosophical work of similar scope in the language. It is so simple, frank, and straightforward, that it will appeal to a large class of thoughtful men.”—_Science._
