Tales and Sketches.

Jesus of Nazareth; or, a True History of the Man called Jesus Christ, through Alexander Smyth. 319 closely printed pages; strongly bound in cloth. 8s.

Embracing his parentage, his youth, his original doctrines and works, his career as a public teacher and physician of the people; also, the nature of the great conspiracy against him, with all the incidents of his tragical death, given on Spiritual authority, from Spirits who were contemporary mortals with Jesus while on earth. The Banner gives a description of the nature of the hook, and adds, such is a slight sketch of the facts as made known to our humble citizen, A. Smyth, by the Spirits. They desired him to write the same in the form of a book, giving him authority to make whatever additions, descriptions, embellishments, and transpositions he might think necessary to bring all the facts into view, and make out of them an interesting book, suitable for readers in general. The task is done. The request of the Spirits has been complied with to the best of the author's, ability, and is now issued to the public for their perusal and benefit.

All Christians will find in it matter of the most vital importance, showing how they have mistaken the character of Jesus and the nature of the true God. The Philosopher will find in it matter worthy of deep reflection and page 12 admiration. The Spiritualists will be gratified to find that the character, doctrines, and acts of Jesus accord with the beautiful philosophy of Spiritualism. Theological Students will see in it an immense mass of matter of absorbing interest. There is no one that feels an interest in a good book, that will not feel it in the perusal of this curious and unparalleled production. The author's experience narrated in the introduction is one of the most marvellous instances of Spiritual phenomena.

This book has already created a great amount of interest. Some of the most enlightened and Spiritual minds approve of it highly, and use several for lending; whilst the illogical denunciations that have assailed it from the strongholds of conservatism and sectarianism are flattering testimonials in favour of its progressive tendencies. It is one of the most readable and entertaining books out, and is at the same time full of beautiful Spiritual and moral instruction.
