CANONS OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT.

From the New York Observer.

THE DOCTRINAL DECREES AND CANONS OF THE COUNCIL OF TRENT, translated from the first edition printed at Rome, in 1564. With a Preface and Notes by W. C. Brown. lee, D. D., New York, C. K. Moore, 1842, pp. 119.

"Let those who would know what Popery is at its best estate, send for this little book and read it. Here we have the decrees and doctrines of a "Council," and whatever is taught here must be the belief of the Roman Catholic Church. "Out of thine own mouth will I condemn thee.'"

From the Presbyterian.

"The decrees of the Council of Trent are the exposition of Popery, and hence their republication will tend to show how far the Romish church has departed from the faith. The notes appended by Dr. Brownlee will direct the atten tion of the reader to the abuses of the system."

From the Christian Intelligencer.

"This noted Council, the Decrees of which now constitute the recognized standard of faith with the Romanists, was assembled by Pope Pius III., 1545. It was continued under several pontiffs, and after several interruptions, it was brought to a close by Pius IV., in 1563.

The preface by Dr. Brownlee gives a short sketch of its history and character. The true character of the doctrines of the Papal Church are here furnished from her own au. thorized standards. Those who wish to study Popery from its own sources will procure this volume. In the same view, we commend " Dens' Theology." The Theology of Dens is a voluminous work, introduced as a text book in the Papal Theological seminaries. The Rev. Mr. Berg of Philadelphia, has recently published a duodecimo volume,* containing compendious extracts from the larger work, carefully translated and arranged by him. These two volumes will give a clear view of what popery is, from its own authoritative testimony."

The following NOTICES of SARAH DOHERTY, and the BOOK OF MARTYRS, are from the New York Press.

A NARRATIVE OF THE CONVERSION AND SUFFERINGS OF SARAH DOHERTY; ILLUSTRATIVE OF POPERY IN IRELAND. The first American, from the third Edinburgh Edition. Published by C. K. MOORE, 142 Nassau street, N. Y. pp. 123.

This biography, it is affirmed, is an accurate detail substan. tially of events in the life of the young woman and her asso. ciates of whom it is the memorial. It is a graphical descrip tion of Popery-highly edifying in its tendency, and contains an impressive example of the wickedness of man, with rich displays of the mercies of God, well adapted to promote the best interests of the reader. It is an excellent book for youth, and for the Sunday School Library.-Christian Intelligencer.

This is a narrative of the conversion and sufferings of an Irish girl who was brought up a rigid Papist, but who, by the blessings of God on the faithfulness of the lady with whom she went to service, was led to renounce her errors, and to embrace the Truth. It it a deeply interesting story, and its wide circulation will do much to quicken efforts for the con. version of the multitude of females employed in Protestant fa. milies. We commend it to the favourable notice of our read. ers.-New York Observer.

This small volume possesses every thing to commend itself to the christian reader. It is neatly got up, and cheap. It is written in a simple and very fascinating style. Its artless and affecting narrative exhibits at once, the evil genius, and fierce intolerant spirit of Romanism in the domestic circle. And, at the same time, it pourtrays the invincible force of divine TRUTH, in gradually expelling the revolting gloom and prejudices of popery from the human mind; and the triumphant power of divine GRACE in delivering an interesting young female from the snares of "the Man of Sin," and in con. soling and sustaining those who put their trust in God amid every affliction, and in finally bringing them off" more than conquerors through him who loved us," to a crown of glory.

We, therefore, cheerfully commend this beautiful and im. pressive narrative to all our converts from popery, and to all who wish to gain a clear insight into the theory and practice

of the great Roman catholic apostacy, and who wish to possess a small book well adapted to confirm Protestants; and direct Roman catholics, who are beginning their search after the TRUE RELIGION.-Protestant Vindicator.

From the Christian Intelligencer. Fox's BooK OF MARTYRS; or a History of the Lives, Suffer. ings, and Triumphant Deaths of many of the Primitive, as well as Protestant Martyrs, from the commencement of Christianity to the latest periods of Pagan and Popish Per. secution; to which is added, an account of the Inquisition, St. Bartholomew Massacre in France, the General Persecution under Lewis XIV., the Massacre in the Irish Rebellion of 1642. Second Edition. New York; Charles K. Moore, 142 Nassau street. 1842; pp. 432, 12mo.

The basis of this work is Fox's Book of Martyrs. The materials of the greater portion of the volume are drawn from that voluminous work, and are happily condensed and ar. ranged, so as to form a work of suitable size to gain extensive circulation. It exhibits the proper character of Popery, as de. veloped in all ages, wherever she has gained the ascendency, in her persecuting spirit, "drunk with the blood of saints." It also places before our view, "the noble army of the martyrs, sealing their testimony to the truth as it is in Jesus, with their lives, and furnishing profitable lessons for the confirmation of our faith, and consolation under trials. The publication of it at this time, when Popery is so industriously and insidiously seeking to extend and regain its ascendency" is opportune.

From the New York Observer. Fox's BOOK OF MARTYRS.-This well known work has just been republished in a handsome 12mo volume by C. K. Moore, 142 Nassau st, N. Y. It contains a history of the lives, sufferings and triumphant deaths of many of the primi. tive and Protestant martyrs; it has an account of the inqui sition, and of the Bartholomew massacre, and other great facts that stand illustrious in the world's history as monuments of what Popery was, is, and will be, till it is bound hand and foot and cast into the lake of fire, or in the wonderful mercy of God, reformed. We have no doubt this work, published in excellent dress, in a convenient size and form, will be widely circulated, and we know that it will be eminently useful, as it has been in very many years past.

From the Evangelist.

A new edition in duodecimo, of Fox's famous history of the lives, sufferings, and triumphant deaths of many of the primitive, as well as Protestant martyrs, from the fi st com. mencement of persecution to the latest periods of Popish cruelty. The history of the Inquisition, of the massacre of St Bartholomew's day, of the fierce persecution of the Hugue. nots in the days of Louis XIV., and of the massacre at the Irish Rebellion in 1641, are also added. The whole makes a sad and frightful picture of human depravity, and enough to steel one's heart to invincible opposition to that system of cruelty, deceit, and bloodshed, which is now sought with so much eagerness, to be planted in the midst of us. Such an exposure of the true nature of Popery, as this work is, ought to be placed within the reach of every family.

A Representation of the Miraculous Medal, as introduced n the Lecture on " MIRACLES," advertised in this catalogue.

The rays represent the graces, which the Virgin obtains for men. The cross, &c. stand for Jesus, Mary, and the Trinity. The hearts, are those of Jesus and Mary. The dagger in one of the hearts, is symbolical of that scripture, "a sword shall pierce through thine own soul." The "Hi coculorum" to be used is inscribed round the medal, O Mary, con. ceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee."

A Careful Inquiry into the Fundamental Doctrines of the Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. By W. C. Brownlee, D. D.—Neat, in cloth, price 25 cents.

We cut the following notice of this instructive little work, from the columns of the N. Y. EVANGELIST.

A Careful Inquiry into the Fundamental Doctrines of the Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. By W. C. Brownlee,

D. D. New-York: Charles K. Moore.

Although Dr. Brownlee has become well known as an author, we are certain that he never chose a subject more worthy of his powers, nor wielded them more effectually, than in the present treatise. Famil iar and convincing as the proofs of our Lord's Deity were already to our minds, we confess Dr. Brownlee has succeeded in setting them forth with a freshness and force in some respect entirely new.

Dr. Brownlee does not rest in the simple defence of his position. He overwhelms his opponents by the vigor, brilliancy, and boldness of his attack. We feel sure that no man, however far gone in Socinianism, can read this little work, and not realize in some measure, the dangerous nature of his error.

Those who are firmly established in this glorious and essential truth, will be confirmed by a persual, and those who are sceptical on this subject, will be benefited also.

The two APOCALYPTIC BEASTS in ST. JOHN'S REVELATION, fully explained, with an accurate engraving. A very interesting and instructive book of 48 pages, 18mo. With Preface and Notes by Dr. Brownlee. Neat, in cloth, with an engraving, 18 3-4 cents.

The following notice is from the Christian Intelligencer.

EXPLANATION OF THE PICTURE OF THE APOCALYPTIC BEASTS. St. John beheld a great Beast rising up out of the sea; that is, the troubled nations of the earth, agitated by the bloody wars of the Romans. This Beast had seven heads (mountains) and ten horns (kingdoms, ten crowns on the horns. After this, he beheld another beast rising out of the earth, at first in appearance like a lamb, with two horns. The first Beast is the Roman empire pagan; the second, the Roman power papal. And as the second Beast gave life to the image of the first Beast, so that it spake and acted as it had ever done before, it is easy to see that the second Beast became, in fact, in all respects like to the first Beast. And hence the picture of the second Beast became, in fact, exactly similar to that of the first. The imperial horn and crown being displaced by the pope's horn and crown!

The picture in this Tract, is drawn and engraven with accuracy, after St. Jolin's graphic delineation in Rev. xiii. 1, &c. The Tract will be looked upon and read with solemn and impressive interest, by all who watch the voices, and thunders, and bloody deeds of the Roman catholic church. We particularly recommend this Tract to the public attention Published by C. K. Moore, 142 Nassau street, N. Y.
