SCOTT'S COMMENTARY ON THE BIBLE.

We have recently published a new and elegant standard edition in five large quarto volumes, printed on fine white paper, and large, handsome, clear type. Price in full sheep binding $12.50. Half-calf, $15.

The present edition of this valuable Commentary is superior to any that has yet been issued, not only having all the author's final corrections, but also a number of useful Tables, a Concordance, Family Record, &c., together with the advantages of large type, white paper, and substantial binding.

A COMMENTARY ON THE ROMANS.

Abridged for the use of Sunday-Schools and Bible-Classes. By the Rev. Charles Hodge, D. D. 12mo. Price 75 cents.

We need say nothing in recommendation of a book on which the Christian world, both in Europe and this country, have so placed the stamp of approval. Also, Questions on the Epistles to the Romans-designed to accompany the Commentary. 18mo. Price 15 cents.

COMMENTARY ON THE SONG OF SOLOMON.

By the Rev. George Burrowes, D. D. 12mo. Price $1.25.

The divine Song is viewed as an allegory, intended to be an attractive vehicle of the most elevated and spiritual truths, touching Christ and the Church.

This judicious Commentary by .Professor Burrowes will, we are confident, relieve many serious persons of great difficulties, and will reveal to them a treasury of pure, rich, elevated, spiritual thought, where they had been little inclined to pause, and perhaps almost afraid to trust themselves in their seasons of devout meditation.-PURITAN RECORDer.
