J. H. BUTLER,

HAS PUBLISHED THE THIRD EDITION OF

INDEX RERU M:

OR

INDEX OF SUBJECTS; intended as a Manual, to aid the Student and the Professional Man, in preparing himself for usefulness. With an Introduction, illustrating its utility and method of use. By JOHN TODD, Pastor of the Edwards Church, Northampton. The plan of this work is very simple, and so exceedingly well adapted to the purpose for which it is intended, that it has received the approbation of all who have examined it.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

From Professor Worcester, of Amherst College.

It is just the thing. I have never had a system so complete as yours. I shall take an early opportunity to speak to the whole body of students in regard to it, and shall advise every man to buy a copy.

From Professor Olmsted, of Yale College.

I am happy to say, that the plan and execution of the Index Rerum, are both such as will fully meet my approbation; and I shall recommend it to my pupils, as a valuable auxiliary to their studies.

From Professor M. Hopkins, of Williams College.

I have no hesitation in saying, that the plan of the Index Rerum, by Mr. Todd, is better adapted to the object for which it is intended, than any other with which I am acquainted. Its great excellence consists in its simplicity, and this renders its advantages so obvious, that to those who want any thing of the kind, an inspection of the work must preclude the necessity of any recommendation. It will give me pleasure to speak well of it here."

From Professor M. P. Jewett, of Marietta College, Ohio.

Of the necessity of something of the kind to hold fast the thousand important facts and sentiments which refuse to be detained by the slight associations of the moment, I have been fully, painfully sensible. A few years ago I adopted the plan recommended by Locke, but soon relinquished it as requiring too much time and labor. I subsequently purchased the Cambridge Theological Common Place Book, but here I found myself embarrassed by a printed Index of subjects designed only for professional reading. And it is only in the plan of the Rev. Mr. Todd's work that I find an arrangement exactly suited to the wants of the professional and literary man.

I fully concur in the favorable opinion expressed of the simple arrangement and utility of the Index Rerum.
