Sermons on Certain of the Less Prominent Facts and References in Sacred Story. By Henry Melvill, D. D., Principal of the East India College, and Chaplain to the Tower of London. Second Series. New-York: Stanford & Swords.

These are very peculiar, and for this reason, as well as for others, very interesting discourses. We give the titles of the several sermons, as the best way of conveying, in brief, the character of the book: — “The Young Man in the Linen Cloth;” “The Fire on the Shore;” “The Finding the Guest-Chamber “The Spectre's Sermon, a Truism;” “Various Opinions (about Christ);” “The Misrepresentations of Eve;” “Seeking after Finding;” “The Bird's Nest “Angels our Guardians in Trifles “The Appearance of Failure;” “Simon, the Cyrenian;” “The Power of the Eye;” “Pilate's Wife;”and”The Examination of Cain.” These sermons are brief. The volume consists of only 130 pages octavo.
