"This is my comfort in mine Affliction: for thy WORD hath quickened me." -on a large type, demy 8vo., 7s. 6d., cloth.

Extracts from the Rev. Hugh White's (of Dublin) Meditations. "See this subject ( Blessed Results of Affliction') treated with peculiar force of argument, and felicity of expression-strong in scriptural statements of divine truth, and rich in scriptural sources of divine consolation -in a most valuable work, entitled 'COMFORT IN AFFLICTION by the Rev. James Buchanan, North Leith,'-which I would affectionately recommend to every Christian mourner, who desires to drink deeply of the refreshing streams which the Fountain of all Comfort—the Word of God, supplies; for it is from this sacred source the pious and talented author of this excellent work derives Comfort in Affliction,' which his pages so eloquently and attractively sets forth."

"To those who are acquainted with the high character for personal piety, theological attainments, and professional usefulness of the excellent author of these Meditations, it may be enough to state, that they are in every way worthy of that distinguished Christian Minister."-Presbyterian Review.

"We have not read any work on the subject which equals it either in the substantial matter which it brings before the afflicted for their consolation, or in the variety of its details. Were we desirous, indeed, that Affliction should be properly understood and improved, we could not recommend any book at all so well adapted for both purposes as this......... We earnestly hope that it will soon find its way into every Christian family."-Scottish Guardian.

"We do not at this moment indeed remember any single work in which the deeply interesting subject of Affliction is considered in a greater variety of lights, and in all, is illustrated with so much vigour of judgment and felicity of expression."-Christian Instructor.
