A View of the Evidences of Christianity, In Three Parts; and the Hora Paulina; by William Paley, D.D., Archdeacon of Carlisle; formerly Fellow and Tutor of Christ's College, Cambridge. A new Edition, with Notes, an Analysis, and a selection of Questions from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers; designed for the use of Students, by Robert Potts, M.A., Trinity College. 8vo. pp. 568; price 10s. 6d. in Cloth.

"By a grace of the Senate of the University of Cambridge, it was decreed last year, that the Holy Scriptures and the Evidences of Christianity should assume a more important place than formerly in the Previous Examination.' The object of the present publication is to furnish the academical student with an edition of Paley's Evidences of Christianity, suited to the requirements of the examination as amended. The editor has judiciously added the 'Hora Pauline' as forming one of the most important branches of the auxiliary evidences. He has added many valuable notes in illustration and amplification of Paley's argument, and prefixed an excellent analysis or abstract of the whole work, which will be of great service in fixing the points of this masterly argument on the mind of the reader. Mr Potts' is the most complete and useful edition yet published."-Eclectic Review.

"As an edition of Paley's text, the book has all the excellence which might be expected from a production of the Cambridge University Press, under the care of so competent an editor; but we do not hesitate to aver that Mr Potts has doubled the value of the work by his highly important Preface, in which a clear and impressive picture is drawn of the present unsettled state of opinion as to the very foundations of our faith, and the increased necessity for the old science of 'Evidences' is well expounded by his masterly analyses of Paley's two works-by his excellent notes, which consist chiefly of the full text of the passages cited by Paley, and of extracts from the best modern writers on the 'Evidences,' illustrative or corrective of Paley's statements,and by the Examination Papers, in which the thoughtful student will find many a suggestion of the greatest importance. We feel that this ought to be henceforth the standard edition of the Evidences' and 'Hora.'"-Biblical Review.

"The theological student will find this an invaluable volume. In addition to the text there are copious notes, indicative of laborious and useful research; an analysis of great ability and correctness; and a selection from the Senate-House and College Examination Papers, by which great help is given as to what to study and how to study it. There is nothing wanting to make this book perfect."-Church and State Gazette.

"The scope and contents of this new edition of Paley are pretty well expressed in the title. The object of Mr Potts is to furnish the collegian with a help towards the more stringent examination in theology that is to take place in the year 1851. The analysis is intended as a guide to students not accustomed to abstract their reading, as well as an assistance to the mastery of Paley; the notes consist of original passages referred to in the text, with illustrative observations by the editor; the questions have been selected from the Examinations for the last thirty years. It is an useful edition."-Spectator.

"Attaching, as we do, so vast a value to evidences of this nature, Mr Potts' edition of Paley's most excellent work is hailed with no ordinary welcome-not that it almost, but that it fully answers the praiseworthy purpose for which it has been issued. In whatever light we view its importance-by whatever standard we measure its excellences-its intrinsic value is equally manifest. No man could be found more fitly qualified for the arduous task of reproducing, in an attainable form and in an intelligible dress, the work he undertook to edit, than Mr Potts. By an industry and patience, by a skill and carefulness of no common kind, by an erudition of a high order, he has made 'Paley's Evidences' (a work remarkable no less for its sound reasoning than its admirable perspicuity) adapted to the Christian student's every requirement in the sphere it enters on. To these 'Evidences' the 'Hora Paulina has been added, inasmuch (we quote from the preface) 'as it forms one of the most important branches of the auxiliary evidences of Christianity.' It is further added:To the intelligent student, no apology will be necessary for bringing here before him in connexion with the "Evidences" the "Hore Pauline"-a work which consists of an accumulation of circumstantial evidence elicited from St. Paul's Epistles and the Acts with no ordinary skill and judgment; and exhibited in a pellucid style as far removed from the unnatural as from the non-natural employment of language.' "Without this volume the library of any Christian Man is incomplete. No commendation can be more emphatic nor more just."-Church of England Quarterly Review.

JOHN W. PARKER AND SON, West Strand, London.

"In my opinion Mr Potts has made a valuable addition to Geometrical literature by his Editions of Euclid's Elements."-W. Whewell, D.D., Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

"Mr Potts' Editions of Euclid's Geometry are characterized by a due appreciation of the spirit and exactness of the Greek Geometry, and an acquaintance with its history, as well as by a knowledge of the modern extensions of the Science. The Elements are given in such a form as to preserve entirely the spirit of the ancient reasoning, and, having been extensively used in Colleges and Public Schools, cannot fail to have the effect of keeping up the study of Geometry in its original purity." James Challis, M.A., Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy in the University of Cambridge.

"By the publication of these works, Mr Potts has done very great service to the cause of Geometrical Science: I have adopted Mr Potts' work as the text-book for my own Lectures in Geometry, and I believe that it is recommended by all the Mathematical Tutors and Professors in this University."-Robert Walker, M.A., F.R.S., Reader in Experimental Philosophy in the University, and Mathematical Tutor of Wadham College, Oxford.

"When the greater Portion of this Part of the Course was printed, and had for sometime been in use in the Academy, a new Edition of Euclid's Elements, by Mr Robert Potts, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, which is likely to supersede most others, to the extent, at least, of the Six Books, was published. From the manner of arranging the Demonstrations, this edition has the advantages of the symbolical form, and it is at the same time free from the manifold objections to which that form is open. The duodecimo edition of this work, comprising only the First SixBooks of Euclid, with Deductions from them, having been introduced at this Institution as a text-book, now renders any other Treatise on Plane Geometry unnecessary in our course of Mathematics."-Preface to a Treatise on Descriptive Geometry, &c. for the Use of the Royal Military Academy, by S. Hunter Christie, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, Secretary of the Royal Society, &c. and Professor of Mathematics in the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich.

"The plan of this work is excellent."-Spectator.

"We must be content with giving a short, but emphatic approval of the book as a beginner's text-book."-Athenæum.

"Mr Potts has maintained the text of Simson, and secured the very spirit of Euclid's Geometry, by means which are simply mechanical. It consists in printing the syllogism in a separate paragraph, and the members of it in separate subdivisions, each, for the most part, occupying a single line. The divisions of a proposition are therefore seen at once without requiring an instant's thought. Were this the only advantage of Mr Potts' Edition, the great convenience which it affords in tuition would give it a claim to become the Geometrical text-book of England. This, however, is not its only merit.”—Philosophical Magazine, January, 1848.

"If we may judge from the solutions we have sketched of a few of them [the Geometrical Exercises], we should be led to consider them admirably adapted to improve the taste as well as the skill of the Student. As a series of judicious exercises, indeed, we do not think there exists one at all comparable to it in our language-viewed either in reference to the student or teacher."-Mechanics' Magazine, No. 1175.

"The Hints' are not to be understood as propositions worked out at length, in the manner of Bland's Problems, or like those worthless things called 'Keys,' as generally forged and filed,'-mere books for the dull and the lazy. In some cases references only are made to the Propositions on which a solution depends; in others, we have a step or two of the process indicated; in one case the analysis is briefly given to find the construction or demonstration; in another case the reverse of this. Occasionally, though seldom, the entire process is given as a model; but most commonly, just so much is suggested as will enable a student of average ability to complete the whole solution-in short, just so much (and no more) assistance is afforded as would, and must be, afforded by a tutor to his pupil. Mr Potts appears to us to have hit the 'golden mean' of Geometrical tutorship."-Mechanics' Magazine, No. 1270.

"We can most conscientiously recommend it [The School Edition] to our own younger readers, as the best edition of the best book on Geometry with which we are acquainted."-Mechanics' Magazine, No. 1227.

COD LIVER OIL,

PREPARED IN THE LOFFODEN ISLES, NORWAY:

AND PUT TO THE

TEST OF CHEMICAL ANALYSIS,

BY DR. DE JONG H,

OF THE HAGUE,

Late Medical Officer of the Dutch Army, Corresponding Member of the "Société Medico-Pratique" of Paris, Author of a treatise entitled "Disquisitio comparativa chemico-medica de tribus olci jecoris aselli speciebus" (Utrecht, 1843), and of a work entitled "L'Huile de Foie de morue envisagée sous tous les rapports

comme moyen thérapeutique" (Paris, 1853); etc., etc.,

Administered with speedy and marked success in the treatment of
CONSUMPTION, BRONCHITIS, ASTHMA,

GOUT, RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, DIABETES,
DISEASES OF THE SKIN, NEURALGIA,

RICKETS, INFANTILE WASTING, GENERAL DEBILITY,
AND ALL SCROFULOUS AFFECTIONS.

DR. DE JONGH, an eminent Dutch physician, has, as is well known, devoted himself for upwards of sixteen years to a series of scientific researches into the nature and properties of Cod Liver Oil. His works, recording these investigations, have been translated into most of the European languages; by universal admission, they are regarded by the Faculty as the standard authority upon the subject; and in addition to the spontaneous approval and highly flattering testimonials from some of the most distinguished medical men and scientific chemists in Europe, they have been rewarded by his Majesty LEOPOLD I., the King of the Belgians, with the large gold medal of merit, and by his Majesty WILLIAM II., the King of the Netherlands, with a silver medal specially struck for the purpose.

DR. DE JONGH's elaborate chemical investigations and therapeutical experiments with the several kinds of Cod Liver Oil, have demonstrated the superior efficacy of this pure Light Brown Oil, which effects a cure, relieves symptoms, and alleviates suffering in a much shorter time than the Pale Oil: iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile acid, and the elements of the bile-imparting the colour to the Oil, and deemed amongst its most active and essential principles-being invariably present in larger quantities than in the Pale Oils manufactured in Great Britain and Newfound land, which, by their mode of preparation, are in a great measure deprived of these active properties.

DR. DE JONGH'S OIL,

It is genuine and pure Cod Liver Oil, containing all the active and essential medicinal properties that therapeutical experience has found to be most effective in the operation of the remedy, being prepared with the greatest care solely from that species of cod-fish which yields these in the largest quantity, and by a process which secures their presence in the proper and fullest proportion.

Being invariably submitted to skilful and scrupulous chemical analysis by DR. DE JONGH, its genuineness, purity, and uniform strength are ascertained and guaranteed; and, as far as possible, a certain, regular, and uniform result may be anticipated, when it is administered to the same patient, or in similar diseases or circumstances.

In taste and odour it is not disagreeable or repulsive; it is easily taken; creates no nausea or after-taste; is borne with facility, and not rejected by the stomach; does not irritate or disturb the organs, but improves the functions of digestion and assimilation; neither does it produce any constitutional derangement. Its use may therefore be continued for a long period, and without interruption, in those critical, obstinate, and serious cases where continuous perseverance is absolutely essential, and until the desired object is accomplished.

Its medicinal properties are found, in practice, to be infinitely greater than those of the ordinary Cod Liver Oil, the same quantity going three times as far, and effecting a cure or beneficial results in a much shorter period; in many instances affording immediate mitigation of symptoms, and arresting disease, or restoring health, where other Oil had been long and copiously administered without any benefit. In actual price it is not higher, nor in use so expensive as any Oil sold as genuine by respectable chemists; whilst its active properties, more rapid effects, the smaller doses required, and its uniform purity and certainty of operation, render it far prefer able and more really economical than that which is offered at the lowest price. This latter consideration is particularly worthy the attention of all who, from motives of apparent cheapness, may be induced inadvertently to recommend or purchase an inferior or spurious preparation.

Besides the means taken to ensure genuineness and superiority previous to exposure for sale, further to guard against subsequent admixture or adulteration,

This Oil is sold only in bottles; each bottle being sealed with a stamped metallic capsule, and bearing beneath the pink outside wrapper a label with DR. DE JONGH's stamp and signature, fac-similes of which are subjoined. WITHOUT THESE NONE ARE GENUINE. DIRECTIONS FOR USE ACCOMPANY EACH BOTTLE.

CAUTION.

Dr. de Jongh's Agents extremely regret that information they have received compels them solicitously to caution all purchasers against unprincipled attempts frequently made, when this Oil is applied for, in various unfair ways to disparage its value, and to recommend or substitute an inferior Brown or Light Brown Oil, described as Norwegian, as "imported fresh from Norway;" or as of the same kind and of equal purity and fine quality as Dr. de Jongh's. Extensive use and general preference for many years on the Continent, and equally favourable results since the introduction of this Oil into this country, having materially diminished the demand for the Pale or Yellow variety, ordinary

Brown Fish Oils, prepared solely for manufacturing or household purposes, can be and are very profitably offered and supplied at a low rate of charge, although their total unfitness for medical use not only leads to serious disappointment or injury, but tends to detract from the high and general reputation of a remedy, when genuine, of acknowledged and inestimable value. Where this discreditable course is pursued, purchasers are earnestly requested to resort to another establishment, or to apply directly to Dr. de Jongh's Agents in London.
