"We welcome the appearance of this carefully and printed volume as an interesting literary contribution to that which some people style liturgiology."—Saturday Review.

"Of the book itself, whatever may be thought of the elaborate details of ceremonial to which it descends, we must acknowledge that it has been compiled with a reverent care and a pious painstaking which evidently spring from the conviction, that nothing—not even what might be thought the most trifling detail—is unimportant which concerns the worship of God."—John Bull.

The 'Divine Breathings' are the work of a well-read and thoughtful man. . . . . . Taken as a whole they are, in a remarkable way, free from the slightest tinge of controversy, and may very profitably be read by either Catholic or Protestant. It would be unjust not to add that this little volume is an extremely pretty specimen of the Chiswick Press."—Athenæum.

"The compilers and editors of the present volumes have done good service in collecting the scattered writings of their distinguished uncle.

The pages will command the attention of all readers, the edmiration of most; and the entire production is, on every ground, one of the most valuable accessions to English literature."—Standard.

FULLER, MORRIS, M.A. Our Established Church: its History, Philosophy, Advantages, and Claims. Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d.

"In the interesting work bearing the title 'Our Established Church: its History, Philosophy, Advantages, and Claims,' the Rev.

"Rarely indeed, while wading through the volumes of verse which crowd his table, does the reviewer come upon a volume containing so much that is worthy of his attention as is contained in 'Songs of a Wayfarer.' Mr. Home is a true poet. . . . The workmanship is always artistic, an air of culture hangs over all, and there is some genuine inspiration. . . . . . We give Mr. Home such praise as we have not oftentimes the pleasure of being able to accord."—Athenæum.

"His perception in the nicest shades of word-painting is thoroughly artistic; his mastery of rhythm and metre is considerable; and he seems to be endowed with a keen appreciation of the beautiful in nature end in art."—Scotsman.

"It is not a book which has been rushed through the press, and may be lightly skimmed by the reader, for it contains much solid material."—Medical Times and Gazette.

"We can recommend this book as well worthy of a careful perusal, both in its theoretical and practical sections."—Glasgow Medical Journal.

"Must be regarded as a highly valuable contribution to medical literature, and it will unquestionably give important aid in advancing our knowledge on the subject of which he treats."—Morning Post.

"A valuable contribution to the literature of rheumatism, and will have a lasting value."—Birmingham Medical Review.

"This work, by Dr. Maclagan, who was the first to introduce salicylic acid as a remedy for acute rheumatism, is full of suggestive remarks and valuable practical hints."—Journal of Psychological Medicine.

"From Dr. Maclagan's standpoint the subject is treated with a masterly hand, almost the whole literature of rheumatism being laid under contribution to furnish material in favour of his views."—Monthly Homaopathic Review.

"This work, in which the author develops his views, is written with admirable lucidity, and indicates clearly that he deals with his cases in a scientific spirit, and is an acute and thoughtful observer."—Scotsman.

"'Manchester el Mondo' was quite worthy of republication for its own sake, and collectors will value it all the more for the elegance of its binding and the beauty of the printing."—Manchester Examiner.

"Mr. Bailey, of Manchester, has prefaced the little volume with a very interesting introduction, and the edition is in every way quaint and delightful."—Liverpool Daily Post.

"A dainty little reprint. . . . . Within and without it is a book for book lovers."—Liverpool Albion.

"This curious collection of 'Pleasant Stories,' written a century before the invention of printing, has already been translated into French and German, and was well worth putting into an English dress. . . . The notes, explanatury or illustrative of the stories are, as notes should be, brief, instructive, and to the point."—Saturday Review.

MEDITATIONS IN THE TEA ROOM, by M.P. Second Edition, fcap. 8vo. 5s.

"Here we have a collection of thoughts, aphorisms, comments on men and things, showing a shrewd, somewhat cynical spirit, often expressed with much vigour and point."—Spectator.

"Mr. Shirley's history is gleaned from many and varied sources, the reference to the authorities being always given.

TRELAWNY, E. J. Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author. New Edition, greatly enlarged. 2 vols. crown 8vo. with portraits and plates, 12s.

"His book stands alone in the voluminous and confused literature which deals with the lives of Shelley and Byron."—Saturday Review.

"We will only add that Trelawny's merits as a biographer consist mainly in clear insight, the power of saying exactly what he means in language that is at once plain, terse, and pointedly descriptive, without any amplifying or circumlocution, and a wholly unconventional tone and temper of mind. He observes well, remembers well, and expresses well."—Academy.

"As a biographic source for the last years of Shelley's life, Mr. Trelawny's book is invaluable. . . . Even if written by an outsider, this account of a poetic still-life would be attractive; but coming from one who for months was Shelley's constant companion, who performed his funeral rites, and broke the news of his death to his widow, it may fairly be said to rank with the standard works of biographic literature."—Pall Mall Gazette.

WALTONIANA. Inedited Remains in Verse and Prose of Izaak Walton, author of the "Complete Angler." With Notes and a Preface by R. H. Shepherd. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"This dainty little volume distinctly belongs to the class of literary luxuries, and not to the loaves and fishes of sturdy bibliomania. A hearty reader or a gluttonous collector will disdain its brevity and the miscellaneous character of its comtents, but to the critic and literary historian it is not without interest and even value."—Athenaum.

"As this charming little volume, with its curiously old-fashioned typography, attests, Walton was for the best part of his life a writer of verses, if not a poet, and in all his verses the simplicity and serenity of his cheerful and affectionate nature shine out with a pleasant force."—Daily News.

WARBURTON, R. E. EGERTON. Hunting Songs. Sixth Edition. 12mo. with vignette title, 5s.

"All who remember—and who has forgollen it?—the 'Tantivy Trot' will eagerly take up 'Songs and Verses on Sporting Subjects,' by R. E. Egerton-Warburton (Pickering), and they will not be disappointed. There is much that deserves remembrance in the unpretending little book."—Graphic.

"'Songs and Verses on Sporting Subjects,' by R. E. Egerton-Warburton (Pickering), comprises another addition to the poetry of the chase by that admirable writer whose hunting songs of Cheshire and other counties have long earned him the title of the 'poet-leureate' of the hunting field."—Sporting Gazette.

—— Twenty-Two Sonnets. Small 4to. 11 full-page illustrations, 12s. 6d.

WARWICK, ARTHUR. Spare Minutes; or, Resolved Meditations and Premeditated Resolutions. Edited by the Rev. W. J. Loftie. 18mo, uniform with "Divine Breathings." 1s. 6d.

"This is a delightful little book, printed at the Chiswick Press, elegantly attired, rivalling the conciseness of its literary style in its typography and binding; so that he who has not too many spare minutes may well carry these about with him in his waistcoat-pocket.—St. James's Gazette.

WILBERFORCE, R. T. The Five Empires; an Outline of Ancient History. Fifteenth Edition. 12mo. maps and plates, 3s. 6d.

"When a book has reached its fifteenth edition it passes beyond the limits of criticism and can speak for itself. The work before us is well known, and of its usefulness there can be no question."—Church and State.

YACHTSMAN'S HOLIDAYS, A; or, Cruising in the West Highlands. By the "Governor." Second Edition. Crown 8vo. cloth, with illustrations on wood, 5s.

"Although the 'Governor,' in his brief preface, modestly affects to apologize for the nationel absence of humour, in reality he shows a quick perception of comic sides of character; and, as he can tell a capitel story, he makes his narrative very amusing. He takes off the islanders and their broken Anglo-Saxon vernacular in a manner that would do credit to Mr. William Black. . . . . Altogether, the little volume is greatly to be recommended to any adventurer in those Western waters; and, thanks to its modest proportions, there can be no objection to shipping it among the sea-stores of even such a vessel as the 'Ilma.'—Saturday Review.

"Anyone who intends cruising north during the coming summer would do well to obtain 'A Yachtsman's Holidays,' it contains so many valuable hints of the places most worth seeing, and many useful sailing directions obtained from personal experience. . . . . The volume is of a very handy size, and we think every yachtsman should find a place for it in his book locker."—Field.

"Four cruises are described, each in a separate craft. . . . Good seamanship was, of course, needed when cruising in such small boats among the northern lochs, but the 'Governor' evidently knows what he is about when the-tiller is in his hand as well as he does when he takes up the pen. The result of both gifts is, that he not only escaped 'the dangers of the deep,' but that the public are indebted to him for a book whose only fault is its brevity."—Globe.

"He interests his readers in his craft, and in the voyagings he made by their help, giving us a very lively and graphic picture of life on, or rather, we should say, off the West Coast."—Spectator.

"The 'Governor' is evidently one whose company is to be desired on a yachting cruise. He is a man of few dislikes and many sympathies. . . . . We are certain he will not want readers."—Glasgow Herald.
