"The reader will find the subject of the Ishmaelitish descent of the Arabian treated in a clear and convincing manner by Mr. Forster, in his learned and valuable work, Mahometanism Unveiled."-Quarterly Review, No. 83.

"From the novelty of the view which is thus given of Mahometanism, and the ability displayed by the author, we shall be greatly mistaken if a serious discussion of the whole subject be not revived among the learned men of the country."-Monthly Review.

"What a noble legacy for a man to leave behind him! In these volumes are garnered the labours of a life-a life of profound investigation and of immense knowledge, digested by a singularly clear and contemplative mind. It is a work put forth too in the noblest spirit of literature that which looks to the future, and builds up, not a palace for self to dwell in, but a noble and enduring monument for the instruction of ages yet to come."-Literary Gazette, January 14, 1832.

"We have not spoken of the author's style, which constitutes no small part of the attraction and charm of the work. Uniformly perspicuous, correct, and unaffected, it sometimes rises into eloquence. As the author's pride and vanity are now alike buried in the dust, our approbation or censure cannot affect him; but we have been not the less anxious to do justice to a work upon which have been bestowed the meditations of a life, and the best efforts of a mind of no ordinary endowments."-Eclectic Review, April 1832.

XVI. SIX SERMONS on the STUDY of the HOLY SCRIPTURES, their Nature, Interpretation, and some of their most important Doctrines, preached before the University of Cambridge in the years 1827-8.

XVII. A SECOND COURSE of SERMONS for the YEAR; containing Two for each Sunday, and one for each Holyday; abridged from the most eminent Divines of the Established Church, and adapted to the Service of the Day: intended for the Use of Families and Schools. Dedi. cated, by permission, to the Lord Bishop of London. By the Rev. J. R. PITMAN, A. M., alternate Morning Preacher of Belgrave and Berkeley Chapels. In Two Vols. 8vo, price 21s. boards.

"There is no question which the Clergy are more frequently asked, and to which they find it more difficult to give a satisfactory reply than this-What Sermons would they recommend for the use of a private family? There are so many circumstances which render the greater part of modern discourses totally unfit for the purposes of domestic instruction, and the old standards, unmodernised, are so little intelligible to common ears, that it is no easy matter to point out any set of discourses embracing a sufficient variety to excite attention, at the same time forcibly inculcating the pure doctrines and practical precepts of Christianity. We really think that Mr. Pitman's work bids fair to supply the deficiency which has been so much regretted.”—Quarterly Theolog. Review.

A Third Edition, revised throughout, of the FIRST COURSE is just published, same size and price as above.

"The author of Natural History of Enthusiasm has already taken his station among the most influential, as well as the most truly philosophical writers of the day; and his present performance, whatever attention it may meet with, we cannot but regard as the most valuable service which he has yet rendered to the cause of truth and Scriptural piety." -Eclectic Review, October 1831.

"His matter is unquestionably selected with judgment, and luminously arranged; his language is clear and concise, and not deficient in elegance; and we rise from the perusal of his work with very favourable impressions of his character, with which otherwise we are unacquainted."-Theological Review.

"To such readers as wish for an Ecclesiastical History, written on the model of Milner's, and animated by the same spirit, Mr. F.'s work will be highly acceptable, particularly as it is complete, and comprised within a single volume."-Eclectic Review.

Norman Pearson. It is a reproach to the present age, that his valuable writings, breathing as they do the sublimest and purest spirit of piety, rich in beautiful images and classical learning, throughout abounding in practical reflections, and all expressed with the sweetest and simplest eloquence, should have been neglected among us."-British Critic.
