RELIGIOUS SOUVENIR FOR MDCCCXXXVII. EDITED BY CHAUNCEY COLTON, D. D. PRESIDENT OF BRISTOL COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA. NEW YORK: PUBLISHED BY HALL & VOORHIES. 1837. 159792 Entered according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1835, by EDWARD C. BIDDLE, in the Office of the Clerk of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia: PREFACE. IN offering to the public the fifth volume of the RELIGIOUS SOUVENIR, the present Editor would do injustice to his feelings, were he to omit the expression of his sense of obligation for the favour, with which the volume of 1836, under his supervision, was received. It has still been his endeavour to consecrate the pages of this work to the interests of Christian piety; and he trusts the variety and beauty, with which the lessons of truth are herein enforced, will not fail to attract many readers-who will "receive the truth in the love of it." Great efforts have been made by the enterprising publishers to secure, for the illustrations of this volume, the choicest specimens of art; and it is confidently believed that both the matter and the illus trations will be found to reflect credit upon the con tributors and artists, who have employed their talents to enrich and embellish the work.
