PAMPHLETS RECEIVED.

 

            POPERY AS IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE AGES; AND AS IT IS IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. By John Thomas, Senr., Dubuque, Iowa. —This is a pamphlet of 44 pages, published by my father as his protest against the “Mystery of Iniquity” in the Valley of the Mississippi. Popery assumes an impudent bearing in Dubuque, where the craven-hearted Protestants are perfectly crest-fallen in its accursed presence. Nearly, if not quite all, of their “helps” are Papists; so that the evil eyes of the priests, through them, spy out all their domestic affairs, and familiarise their children with the idolatry of the Queen of Heaven. It is to be hoped that this pamphlet will arouse some of them from their slumbers, and cause them to free themselves from the espionage of the confessional which is evil, and tends only to evil, and that continually. The author, who has passed his three-score years and ten, has written well, and produced a pamphlet that will doubtless add much to the information of those among whom the viper is warming to life.

 

            THE COMING STRUGGLE AMONG THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH: or the Political Events of the next fifteen years described in accordance with prophecies in Ezekiel, Daniel, and the Apocalypse: showing also, the important position Britain will occupy during and at the end of the awful conflict. ANONYMOUS. 32 pages. —This is published in London. Fifty-five thousand have been sold. On the fifth page the author says, “Dr. Thomas, of America, was the first to find the key, and they who have read his book, (Elpis Israel,) will at once be able to understand the following description of the period given. For the sake, however, of those who have not seen Dr. Thomas’s work—and we believe this applies to the majority of general readers—it will be necessary to give a rapid and connected sketch of the prophecy on which the whole hangs, and point out the errors into which former interpreters have fallen.” The substance of the pamphlet may be found spread out on the pages of the third part of Elpis Israel.

 

            THE REFLECTOR OF DIVINE TRUTH. —A Monthly Periodical, 12mo., pp 14. Numbers 1, 2, 3 have been received from Edinburgh, where it is issued by the friends of the Kingdom and its Gospel. Success to it, and to all efforts diffusive of the knowledge of the truth.

 

            THE SOUL: or the Hebrew word NEPHESH, and the Greek word PSUCHE. By William Glen Moncrieff. Edinburgh: 12 mo. 22pp. 1852.
