EIGHTH EDITION,

Revised and Enlarged, 8vo, cloth, 12s. 6d.; half morocco, 18s.; whole morocco, elegant, 25s.

A CYCLOPÆDIA of ILLUSTRATIONS of MORAL AND RELIGIOUS TRUTHS; CONSISTING OF

Definitions, Metaphors, Synonymes, Contrasts, Analogies, Statistics, Anecdotes, etc.

Designed for the Pulpit, the Platform, the School, and the Family: selected from Authors Ancient and Modern.

The following particulars may be mentioned as the peculiar features of this work:--

I. =Arrangement=: The subjects are consecutively and analytically placed, so that the illustrations desired can at once be found by a reference to the letters beginning the proper word of the subject. Each illustration has over it the precise subject, as near as could be ascertained, for which it was intended by the author, forming in itself a thought upon the general subject.

II. =Comprehensiveness=: Scarcely any point within the compass of theology and morals, in all their phases and relations, is omitted. There is from one to ninety or a hundred illustrations on each general subject. The work contains between SIX AND SEVEN THOUSAND ILLUSTRATIONS, gathered from more than EIGHT HUNDRED AUTHORS.

III. =Newness of Illustration=: The greater proportion of the matter has never appeared before the public, apart from the respective authors. There is also a variety of original illustrations, for the first time appearing in print.

Clergymen of the Church of England, Ministers of all Denominations, Lay Preachers, Sunday School Teachers, and all purchasers, have testified to the excellence of this work, as well as the press in England and America. The fact that the =Eighth Edition= has been called for in so short a time is a sufficient recommendation of its worth and usefulness.
