BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

1. SERMONS on the most Important Doctrines of the Gospel; comprehending the Privileges and Duties connected with the Belief of those Doctrines. 2 vols. 12mo. price 8s.

"These are most excellent Sermons. They are evangelical in the highest degree. They are very sensible, and have an uniformly good tendency. And they are of a kind the most needed; being, as to style, subjects, and length, eminently adapted to be read in families, or as Village Sermons."

Baptist Magazine.

2. REPENTANCE Explained and Enforced; being a Serious Appeal to every Man's Conscience on its Nature, Necessity, and Evidences. 18mo. 5th edition, price 1s. 6d. boards.

This Work is written in language studiously brought down to the lowest capacity, and sold cheap, to meet the views of those who employ part of their property in giving away religious books to the poor.

"The writer has given a peculiar interest to his composition, by a judicious selection of anecdotes, and by appropriate quotations from the best of our old divines."

Evangelical Magazine, November 1812.

"We seriously recommend this small volume to masters and heads of families, as the most useful work on the all-important subject of Repentance which they can put into the hands of their children and

servants.

Christian Herald, August 1814.

"With respect to its size, the book need not alarm any who have leisure for reading at all; the style is plain, practical, and affectionate; our view is confined to the precise topic which the author professes to discuss; and not merely its leading doctrines and prominent phrases, but its whole tone and spirit are decidedly evangelical."

Edinburgh Christian Instructor, Sept. 1814.

"This is a work which a Christian will take delight in putting into the hands of his servant, or a neighbour who has been unhappily inattentive to the important concerns of religion. The lively simplicity of the style, and the short anecdotes with which it is interspersed, are calculated to draw the attention of the reader to the truths which it inculcates."

Eclectic Review.

3. The ADVANTAGES of EARLY PIETY Unfolded and Displayed, in a Series of Plain Discourses addressed to Young People. One of them delivered to the Young Ladies at a Boarding School. Neatly printed. 18mo. price 2s. 6d. 4th edition, boards.

"The Reverend Mr. Thornton has recently added to the variety of our sermons to youth, A Series of Plain Discourses, as he calls them; but very sensible, judicious and affectionate, on the Advantages of Early Piety; the last of which will particularly interest our young females, as having been originally addressed to a boarding school of young ladies."

Evangelical Magazine.

4. The FRUITS of the SPIRIT; being a comprehensive View of the principal Graces

which adorn the Christian Character. 12mo. price 4s. boards. 3d edition.

"We hesitate not to give this piece our warmest commendation, and to offer our grateful acknowledgments to Mr. Thornton for so valuable an addition to those books which feed devotion in the closet, and tend to produce peace in the family, with general good-will among mankind."

Evangelical Magazine, August 1813.

"We regret that this excellent little work did not long since receive all the currency which our recommendation could give. While it will be valued by the experienced Christian, as calculated to stir up his pure mind by way of remembrance, it will be of great service to the inexperienced."

Eclectic Review.

5. EARLY PIETY Exemplified, in a brief Memoir of Miss Mary Ann Mabbs; with Extracts from her Devotional Papers. 18mo. price ls. 6d. boards.

6. MAXIMS and DIRECTIONS for YOUTH, containing many Anecdotes suited to Private Families and Schools. 3d edition, enlarged.

They are gleaned from the writings of some of the best authors, ancient and modern, whose names are generally affixed. We can safely recommend this small volume for the purposes expressed in its title." Evangelical Magazine.
