BY HIS FATHER.

One handsome volume 8vo., pp. 528, portrait. $2.

"This work, which is composed principally of the writings of

the Rev. Mr. Croswell himself, has been compiled by his father

at the age of threescore and ten years. A memoir presented

under these circumstances to the public, cannot fail to demand

universal attention. This will be sustained by the intrinsic

merits of the work itself, which as a record on Christian

experience, trial, and consolation, is one of the most

beautiful memorials of the kind we have ever read. Mr. Croswell

seems to have been a man of quick fancy and elegant learning.

We find scattered through his Memoir a number of graceful

poems on various subjects, but principally religious, which

display both taste and talent. But the sincere and fervent

piety apparent on every page of the volume, must still be

considered as its chief charm, and its highest recommendation

to the class of readers to whom the work especially addresses

itself."--_South. Lit. Gazette._
