WE take pleasure in announcing to the public that we have just issued the first volume of President MILLIGAN'S Analysis of the New Testament. In his preface to the work the author says, "I have, in this Analysis, endeavored to supply a want which has been long felt in the Family, the Sunday-School, the Bible Class, and every Seminary of learning in which the Bible is made a text book for the moral education and discipline of youth. The object of the work is not to substitute some thing else for the study of the Holy Scriptures, but simply to so aid the student of the Bible in the course of his investigations, that his whole spiritual nature may be brought under the influence of the truth, and so moulded in that form of doctrine which the Holy Spirit has once for all delivered to us.

      "For this purpose I have given (1) The scope and extent of the Parts, Sections, Sub-sections, Paragraphs and Sub-paragraphs of each of the several books of the New Testament; (2) The Text of our English version divided into paragraphs; and (3) Such leading queries under each paragraph as will best serve to bring out its full meaning, and incline the student to profit by the lessons which are therein taught. The analysis of the Four Gospels is given harmonically. In this way, it is believed, the character of Christ, as well as the sphere, scope, and extent of his labors will be most readily understood by the student. As one object of the work is to make the Bible, as far as possible, 'its own Interpreter,' but few notes are given by way of explanation, and these are designed to be merely suggestive."

      Believing that the circulation of this work will do much to promote the study of the Holy Scriptures, we are anxious to put the first volume, embracing the Four Gospels and Acts, into every Family, Sunday-School, College, and Seminary in the Mississippi Valley, as speedily as possible; and we therefore put it at the very low price of two dollars a copy. It contains 400 octavo pages, and is bound in substantial cloth binding.

      Those who desire to act as agents for the work should apply to us immediately.

      This great work, when completed, will consist of ten volumes from the hands of our most distinguished writers and scholars. The first volume, covering Matthew and Mark, by Prof. J. W. McGarvey, is rapidly approachIng completion, and publication day will soon be announced. Sold only by subscription.
