While the Presbyter distinctly pronounceth some or all of these sentences for the Offertory, the Dearon, or (if no such be present.) some other fit person, shall receive the devo tions of the people there present, in a bason provided for that purpose. And when all have offered, he shall reverently bring the said bason, with the oblations therein, and deliver it to the Presbyter; who shall humbly present it before the Lord, and set it upon the holy table, saying,

Blessed be Thou, O Lord God, for ever and ever: Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine: Thine is the kingdom. O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all; both riches and honor come of Thee, and of thine own do we give unto Thee. Amen.

BOOK TABLE.

PICTORIAL FIELD BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION; or

i lustrations, by pen and pencil of the history, scenery, biography, re.ics and traditions of the war for independence. By Benson J. Lossing, Harper & Brothers.

We have received Nos. 4 and 5 of the above work. We gave a brief notice of it in our last, but a more attentive perusal of its contents calls for a more extended notice. The plan which the author has selected is a happy one. The volume is not a detailed history of the revolutionary war, in which events are narrated in their chronological order, but a work of travels, interspersed with revolutionary and other historical incidents. The author is travelling through the United States, and visiting all the places which are at all conspicuous in the annals of the revolution. As he visits these different spots he gives an account of the battles, sieges, or other interesting particulars which have identified them with the history of the country. Although by adopting this method he does not relate the facts in the order in which they occurred, but commences with the northern expedition of Burgoyne in 1777, he accompanies his descriptions with such remarks as enables the reader to read understandingly, and to see the causes which operated to produce the events related,

and the bearing which they in their turn had upon those that followed. The style of the author is animated, forcible, and highly de scrip

tive.

The work abounds with wood cuts, handsomely executed, and illustrating the text. On the whole it is one of the very best books of the season.

THE PRELUDE; or Growth of a Poet's Mind. Au Autobiographical Poem. By William Wordsworth. New-York: D. Appleton & Co., 1850. The origin and object of the above poem is thus alluded to by the lamented Wordsworth, in a preface to the "EXCURSION."

Several years ago, when the author retired to his native mountains with the hope of being enabled to construct a literary work that might live, it was a reasonable thing that he should take a review of his own mind, and examine how far nature and education had qualified him for such an employment.

"As subsidiary to this preparation, he undertook to record in verse, the origin and progress of his own powers, as far as he was acquainted with them."

The volume is divided into fourteen parts, of which the following are the subjects: Childhood and School-time--Residence at Cambridge—

Summer Vacation - Books - Cambridge and the Alps-Residence in London - Retrospect Residence in France - Imagination and taste, how impaired and restored.
