For the statements respecting the Catholic colleges, and for three or four others, we are indebted to the American Almanac, for 1833. Most of the western and southern colleges have preparatory departments, in which there is frequently an equal number to those of the four classes in college. We shall furnish some additional tabular views in our next number. * Catholic Colleges; a large part of the students in these belong to the preparatory department.

Obituary Address at the funeral of the Two discourses on the divinity of Christ, The fundamental doctrine of the real divinity of our Lord is here stated with great perspicuity and point, and with entire freedom from asperity and party feeling. The first sermon is occupied with a statement of the principal proofs of the doctrine, and the second with an exhibition of its practical effects. Mr. Shepard writes in a masculine style, and with that solemnity which ought ever to mark a production whose object is to exhibit the only ground of hope for lost men. We commend it heartily to the attention of our readers. The origin and history of Missions, compiled from authentic documents. By Rev. THOMAS SMITH, of London, and Rev. JOHN O. CHOULES, of Newport, R. I. illustrated by engravings. Boston: Samuel Walker and Lincoln and Edmands. connected extracts from the journals of the missionaries. So far as we have examined, it is faithfully and impartially done. It is a condensed and interesting sketch of the commencement of the great enterprize for the renovation of the world. It is no objection, that it is not elaborately and philosophically written. The time for a work of that sort has not come. Who troubles Israel? a Discourse delivered in Conway, Ms. on the day of the annual thanksgiving, Nov. 29, 1832. By DANIEL CROSBY, pastor of the Congregational church. Amherst: J. S. & C. Adams. pp. 24. One of the valuable and fearless productions which has been called forth by the temperance reform. The relation of Christianity to the civil government in the United States. Preached in A subject of vital importance, and discussed in a thorough, and for a pamphlet, in an elaborate manner. Mr. Adams proves very conclusively that nearly all our stateconstitutions are founded on the assumption that Christianity is the religion of the country. He shows that our only hope of a continued national existence depends on our maintaining the institutions and cherishing the spirit of our religion. The discourse is rich as furnishing materials for reflection. First Annual Report of the Society for Promoting Manual Labor in Literary Institutions. By THEODORE D. WELD, general Agent. New York: S.

It is in a quarto form, making thus far 576 pages. Two or three engravings on steel accompany each number, some of them very finely executed. The history is written in a familiar style, and is composed very much of evil tendencies of the lottery system, as existing in the United States. By JOB R. TYSON, Esq. Philadelphia: William Brown, 1833. pp. 48. We commend this pamphlet and a lecture by Mr. G. W. Gordon of Boston, as worthy of serious perusal, and as deserving of circulation till the lottery system is extirpated. Idolatry misrepresents the Deity. A sermon at the ordination of Rev.

Domestic Portraiture; or, the successful application of religious principle in the education of a family, exemplified in the memoirs of three of the deceased children of the Rev. Legh Richmond. New York: J. Leavitt. Boston: Crocker & Brewster, 1833. pp. 292. This book would find a more ready sale, if it was simply called the "Life of three of Legh Richmond's children," as it in fact is. The title is too cumbersome. The book is one of real value and of touching interest. If our readers take up the life of Wilberforce Richmond, particularly, they will not lay it aside till it is read through. We have rarely perused a more affecting memorial. The character of Richmond, the father, is presented in new attractions. Elements of History, ancient and modern; with a chart and tables of history included within the volume. By J. E. WORCESTER. Boston: Hilliard, Gray & Co. 1833. pp. 403. The historical atlas has hitherto been an essential accompaniment of the Elements of History. But as the expense of the atlas has operated as an objection to its introduction, the author has put the Elements into such a state, by folding in the volume the chart of general history, and a series of tables of history, that it may be used without the Atlas. Our readers will find this book a very faithful and condensed outline of sacred and secular history, written in a good style for such a work. 1833. G. W. HATHAWAY, ord. pastor, Cong. Bloomfield, Me.

This book belongs to the series of the Harpers. It is an entertaining and welldigested volume, for such as cannot read the larger works of Parry and Franklin. In the volume, there are some striking facts, which show the power of Christianity to sustain the soul in the last extremity of human suffering. March 16, 1833. NOTICES OF NEW PUBLICATIONS. Obituary Address at the funeral of the Rev. Royal Washburn, pastor of the 1st church and parish, Amherst, Mass. By N. W. FISKE. Amherst: J. S. & C. Adams, 1833. pp 44. Of the public men who have recently, in such numbers, paid the debt of nature in this country, hardly any one is so worthy of being held up for an example, as Mr. Washburn. We have rarely seen the individual with whom it was more profitable to be associated, both in an intellectual or religious respect. He united in a remarkable degree sound common sense, intelligent piety, and unaffected Christian humility. His reading was somewhat extensive and always discriminating, his knowledge of human character and of passing events distinct, and all turned to the best practical purposes. Professor Fiske had long known him well, and in his impressive and beautiful sketch states nothing but the truth. We hope he will give a more extended memoir. We know it would be acceptable and useful. connected extracts from the journals of the missionaries. So far as we have examined, it is faithfully and impartially done.
