8. THE CHRISTIAN OFFICER’S COMPLETE ARMOUR; containing Evidences in Favour of a Divine Revelation. By Colonel Burn, of the Royal Marines. Third Edition, 4s. 6d. boards.

Dr. Collyer, in his popular Work, “Lectures on Scripture Facts,” has been pleased to make the following mention of it:—‘May I be permitted to recommend a small and well-composed Treatise, called the Christian Officer’s Panoply, (now called the Christian Officer’s Complete Armour,) written by an excellent Officer in the Marines, now living and personally known to me? This little volume is the best compendium of Evidences in favor of the Bible, and the most familiar, I have ever seen.

‘The style of writing adopted, is at once entertaining and instructive; and I never received more of pleasure and of satisfaction from any book which I ever perused.’

Collyer’s Lectures.

‘We gladly embrace the opportunity afforded us by a new edition of this excellent little work, to give it the sanction of our warmest recommendation. It exhibits the chief arguments in favour of a Divine Revelation in a distinct, luminous, and pleasing form. The substance of it is cast into a free and interesting dialogue between a Captain, a sincere believer in Christianity, and his sceptical friend, a Major in the same regiment. Both characters are taken from the life. We are glad to observe that the name of the worthy writer is avowed in this second edition; the first, it may be proper to observe, was entitled the Christian Officer’s Panoply.’

Eclectic Review.

‘A considerable number of years have elapsed since we enjoyed the pleasure of perusing the first edition of this agreeable book; it comes to us recommended by a character (Sir Richard Hill) well known in the Religious World,’ &c.

Theological Review.

‘We find six dialogues between a Captain who is religions, and a Major who is the reverse; five of which contain proofs, in answer to the common objections against the truth of Revelation. In these five dialogues we have met with a respectable degree of learning and argument.’

British Critic.

‘This Publication certainly does abundant credit to the pious Intention of the Author, who, if a Colonel of Marines, is, to say the least, a very extraordinary character.’

Gentlemen’s Magazine.

‘This Work was recommended by the late Sir Richard Hill, and we are happy in coinciding on the present occasion with the Honourable Baronet. Colonel B. has here compiled, for the use of the Army and Navy, a neat summary of the Evidences in favor of Revelation; and he has managed the dialogue between the Major and Captain with great ease, and at the same time with much effect.’

Monthly Review.

‘All the great, and we need scarcely add irrefragable arguments in support of Christianity, are here enforced in a dialogue between two Officers, one of them very seriously impressed with the importance of Religion, the other a man of the world, who has paid but little attention to the subject.’

Cabinet.

9. WHO FARES BEST, THE CHRISTIAN OR THE MAN OF THE WORLD? By Colonel Burn. Third Edition, 2s. 6d. boards.

Our readers are well acquainted with this intelligent and pious writer, as Author of the Christian Officer’s Complete Armour: we hope the Dialogue now reprinted will soon be more generally known than it is at present; we think the sound reasoning, devotional sentiment and engaging style, by which it is distinguished, will render its extensive circulation a public benefit.
