From the Masonic Review.

This great standard history of the Church from the birth of Christ, has just been issued in a new dress by the extensive pub lishing house of Applegate & Co. Nothing need be said by us in relation to the merits or reliability of Mosheim 's History : it has long borne the approving seal of the Protestant world. It has become a standard work, and no public or private library is complete without it ; nor can an individual be well posted in the history of the Christian Church for cighteen hundred years, without having carefully studied Mosheim, We wish, however, particularly to recommend the present edition. The pages are in large double columns ; the type is large and very distinct, and the printing is admirable, on fine wbite paper. It is really a pleasure to read such print, and we recommend our friends to purchase this edition of this indispensable work.

From the Telescope, Dayton, O.

This work has been placed upon our table by the gentlemanly and enterprising publishers, and we are glad of an opportunity to introduce so beautiful an edition of this standard Church his tory to our readers. The work is printed on beautiful white paper, clear large type, and is bound in one handsome volume, No man ever sat down to read Mosheim in so pleasing a drese, What a treat is such an edition to one who has been studying this elegant work in small close printof other editions.

From Professor Wrightson.

Whatever book has a tendency to add to our knowledge of God, or the character or conduct of his true worshipers, or that points out the errors and mistakes of former generations, musi have an elevating, expanding , and purifying influence on the human mind. Such a work is Mosheim ' s Ecclesiastical History Like “ Rollin 's History of the Ancients," it is the standard ,and is too well known to need a word of comment.
