The Third Volume will contain: · 1. AN ESSAY ON UNIVERSAL RESTORATION. This well known and extensively read work has been very convenient for the disciples of the Vidler, and Winchesterian school to say, "is not worth answering." 2. AN ESSAY ON ATHEISM. 3. AN ESSAY ON THE ATONEMENT. Mr. Isaac was frequently urged to write in defence of the Atonement of Christ, both by the most learned and influential of his Wesleyan brethren, and by many christian ministers of other denominations. For years he meditated, wrote, and re-wrote on the subject, examining with critical care what had been already published by others; he lived not, however, to finish a work for which he was so eminently qualified; yet, without his finishing touches, the theological student and the intelligent christian will find his Essay on the Atonement worthy of the pen from which it has proceeded. This is properly associated by the editor with the Essay on Atheism. N. B. Any Wesleyan preacher who was present at the London conference of 1822, and will furnish the publisher with a copy of Mr. Isaac's speech on the question of Ordination by imposition of hands, will receive a copy of Mr. Isaac's Works gratis. Just Published, by Hamilton, Adams, and Co., Paternoster Row, London, and to be had of all Booksellers, price 6s. 6d., with Portrait, THE POLEMIC OR, DIVINE: MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE, WRITINGS, AND OPINIONS, OF THE REV. DANIEL ISAAC, BY JAMES EVERETT, AUTHOR OF "EDWIN," "THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH," "THE WALL'S END MINER,' ETC. EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS. "THESE are judicious and interesting Memoirs, illustrative of the upright, unaffected, and sound minded subject of them. They will interest the reader of popular works, as well as afford some true and agreeable lights, whereby to study varieties of human nature, and when placed under peculiar circumstances."-MONTHLY REVIEW, Sept. 1839, p. 145. "It is not merely the scarcity in the article of biography, which makes us relish this Life of Daniel Isaac. Were the memorials of departed worth, genius, and learning, plenty as blackberries,' we should still keep a corner for any fresh leaves from Everett's Book of Worthies. We know him of old, to be happy in the choice of his subjects, and skilful in his treatment of them. Enough to say, that we have read through this Life with pleasure, and cannot close it without recommending it to all such as love what is earnest and genuine, whether it go forth licensed by a bishop, or a synod of non-conformists."- ATHENEUM, Aug. 24th., 1839, p. 628. "Of Daniel Isaac we must speak with praise. He was simple, sincere, and temperate, with considerable humour, and with little temptation; but we have more to do with the subject than with the man." ."-WEEKLY DISPATCH. "This book will be of considerable interest to the Wesleyan Methodists, among whom Mr. Isaac, a man of strong character, was an eminent and influential preacher. It gives considerable insight into the domestic life of the ⚫ lower and middle classes of England. Though not without some of the small blemishes, or rather distinctive marks of his sect and calling, Mr. Isaac was both a good and an able man, full of life and energy; possessing and exercising the power of independent thought upon most subjects."- TAIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE, Nov. 1839, p. 758. "This is one of that class of works which appeal to a certain exclusive, but very extensive order of readers, and to them it will prove very acceptable. The Polemic Divine is neither more nor less than a memoir, (somewhat too lengthy, we must observe,) of the late Mr. Daniel Isaac, a Wesleyan preacher, and one of sufficient celebrity in his day and order to justify a work of the kind devoted to his memory. The work is written with care and industry, and may, as a biography, be read with interest by other persons than those devoted to the extensive sect to which the writer and the subject belong."-NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE, Nov. 1839, p. 431. N.B. Wesleyan ministers, by sending to Messrs. Hamilton, Adams, and Co., Paternoster Row, London, for half a dozen copies of the Polemic Divine, may be supplied at a reduction of £25. per cent., instead of their usual allowance of £10. per cent. £5. per cent. will amply pay for the carriage; and thus twenty will be gained.
