Synopsis

Excerpt from Alphabetical and Descriptive Catalogues: Of the Publications of the Presbyterian Board of Publication

The Presbyterian Board of Publication went into operation A. D. 1840, and at the time of issuing the Annual Report in May 1854, had published three hundred and seventy different works, exclusive of tracts and pamphlets.

The works enumerated in the following Catalogue are of every variety, from the most profound treatises in theology, to the simplest child's hymn-book and catechism. Many of them are of the highest value even to ministers, and until issued by the Board had never been republished in this country, and could of course only be had by importation, and at such prices as placed them beyond the reach of ministers of limited means.

Many of the books are also designed to enlighten and establish Presbyterians, more especially in the peculiarities of their own doctrines and polity. Where are to be found works better suited to this purpose, than Fisher's Catechism, Lime Street Lectures, Dickinson on the Five Points, The Great Supper, Matthews on the Divine Purpose, Miller on Presbyterianism, Miller on Public Prayer, Shaw's Exposition of the Confession of Faith, Green's Lectures on the Shorter Catechism, Hodge's History of the Presbyterian Church, &c.?

The Catalogue of the Board also contains a rich assortment of practical books. The Life of McCheyne has been thought, by some, to rank with those of Martyn and Brainerd, and it surely would be difficult to find a biography in which there is more of a sweet and spirit-cheering piety. Alexander's Religious Experience has been read with pleasure and profit by all denominations, while, by his Practical Sermons, he being dead still continues to preach in many a social meeting, and to teach by many a fireside.
