Published by the "Lutheran Board of Publication" in Philadelphia:
Family Prayer for Morning and Evening and the Festivals of the
Church Year. By C. W. Schaeffer. 1861. 8vo, cloth, 219 pp.

Contains about 80 prayers, 56 of them arranged in a four-week cycle,
composed for the most part out of the words of Scripture; the
Communion prayers appear to have been drawn up with great caution,
so as not to give offense to the unbelief of many who pray, for
which reason the most forceful comfort is also passed over in
silence.

This is a prospectus of the two-fold edition, undertaken by the
author, of the Sinaitic Bible manuscript. Concerning this latter, the
following is reported. Professor Tischendorf has been commissioned by
the Imperial Russian government with the publication of the Bible
manuscript discovered by him. The text of the manuscript will appear
in three folio volumes, of which the first two contain everything
belonging to the Old Testament, and the third the complete New
Testament together with the Epistle of Barnabas and the fragments of
the Shepherd of Hermas. To these three volumes of text is added a
fourth with treatises on the history of the manuscript and the
course of its discovery, on its extraordinarily great age, and on
its importance for biblical textual scholarship. To these treatises
is appended the paleographic-critical commentary on more than 7,000
places in the manuscript altered by ancient correctors; this volume
will furthermore be distinguished by 20 plates of photographic
facsimiles, which will make learned eyes thoroughly familiar with
the impression of the original and are meant to represent
particularly interesting passages of the same. The photographic part
of the work is being carried out in the studio of the Imperial
General Staff at St. Petersburg; one of the largest printing houses
in Leipzig has been entrusted with the production of all the
typographic work. In order that the writing
