THOUGHTS; selected from the Works of WILLIAM ELLERY CHANNING, D.D. 32mo. pp. 160.  Price, 37-1/2 cents.

“This is a diamond of a volume, the purpose of which is well expressed in the following ‘thought’ from Channing, which is put on the title-page:—­

“’Sometimes a single word, spoken by the voice of genius, goes far into the heart.  A hint, a suggestion, an undefined delicacy of expression, teaches more than we gather from volumes of less gifted men.’

“Those who differ in theological views from the gifted Channing will of course find many thoughts in this little volume not to their taste.  But those to whom any theological views have ever done much good will nevertheless prize the book for its thoughts.  Thoughts they are, not faint reflections of thought.  And those who would be wise above all things prize to know what can be thought on all sides of every important subject.  To enrich our columns we borrow a gem or two.”—­Chronotype.
