work, which has been written and prepared with experience and care. We
know of no work at a reasonable price that answers in its
stead."--_Boston Sunday Globe._
"One of the elegant books of the season is 'Edens of Italy,' by Rev.
Dr. Joseph Cross."--_Springfield Republican._
"The author has written from a full mind and richly-laden memory, aided
by careful notes taken on the spot. The readable quality of the book is
aided by the clearest typographic expression, and the numerous
illustrations make the volume a feast to the eye. Even in this day of
attractive bindings, this one is noticeable for its extreme beauty. The
coloring is refined and tasteful; and the decorative design, which is
beautiful and appropriate in conception, has been artistically carried
out. As a whole, the cover is charming in effect, and reflects great
credit on the taste of the house which issues the volume. On the
principle of honor to whom honor is due, it seems hardly just that it
is not customary to permit artists who furnish designs for book-covers,
to reap what measure of glory and profit there is to be had from being
publicly credited with the work they do."--_Art Interchange._
_+COALS FROM THE ALTAR.+_ Sermons for the Christian Year. By
the Rev. Joseph Cross, D.D., LL.D. 2 vols. 12mo, cloth. $1.50
each.
Vol. I., Advent to Ascension.
Vol. II., Ascension to Advent.
"They are aptly named 'Coals from the Altar,' for they are admirably
adapted to kindle a flame of fire in the Christian heart. The author's
wealth of imagery, his warm sympathy and personal appeals, his fine
descriptive powers and flow of language, his deep pathos and
tenderness, do not need the fervor and emphasis of the living voice to
send home the arrow of truth; but his sermons touch the feelings
equally when addressed to the eye, by means of type, and become an
efficient ministry of good."--_The Churchman._
"Evangelic truth and apostolic order have no better definition and
defence in the whole range of sermonic literature, than in these
glowing 'Coals from the Altar'"--_The Standard of the Cross._
"They are written in a most moderate tone, with much force and beauty
of language, and with great earnestness and tenderness appeal to the
hearts and consciences of readers. For family reading and for lay
reading we can warmly recommend these sermons."--_The Church
Guardian_, Halifax.
"The sermons are eminently scriptural, terse and accurate in style, and
are excellent illustrations of good principles in
homiletics."--_Lutheran Observer._
"Dr. Cross shows himself an eloquent and able thinker, and his sermons
are full of spiritual fervor."--_The American Bookseller._
+_PAULINE CHARITY._+ Discourses on the Thirteenth Chapter of
St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. By the Rev. Joseph
Cross, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 12mo, cloth. $1.50.
"These sermons are eminently instructive and stimulating; the great
central truth of practical religion is forcibly presented and well
illustrated, and the discourse is often marked with special vigor and
eloquence."--_Zion's Herald._
"These are clear, instructive, thoroughly evangelical, and highly
edifying. They will serve as good models for young ministers, in style,
spirit, and directness of address."--_Lutheran Observer._
"The sermons included in the volume before us are vigorous and fluent;
and, though the author calls them 'old-fashioned homilies,' they are
neither dry nor antiquated in style or thought."--_Good
Literature._
"These are of sermons which leave an influence that the hearer carries
into his daily thought and conduct."--_Boston Globe._
+_OLD WINE AND NEW_+. Occasional discourses. By the Rev.
Joseph Cross, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol. 12mo, cloth.
