GRAY, Mrs. H.—Emperors of Rome from Augustus to Constantine: being
a Continuation of the History of Rome. By Mrs. HAMILTON GRAY. 1 vol.
12mo. with Illustrations, 8_s._
"So many applications are made to us for histories suited to a
period of life when the mind is beginning to develope its power,
and to find satisfaction in connecting the past with the present
and the future in human affairs, that we are induced to
recommend these volumes, which, however widely circulated, have
not half the circulation which they deserve. They are clearly
written. They neither minister to childish imbecility, nor take
for granted a measure of knowledge which cannot be lawfully
expected of the young. They present the page of history as it
really is—not a series of dry details, nor of gorgeous
spectacles, but with enough of plain fact to instruct the
understanding, and of romantic incident to kindle the sympathies
and affections. The German school of historical doubters are
neither listened to by Mrs. Gray as oracles, nor rejected as
impostors. Niebuhr is heard, without, as in some cases, being
worshipped. Those will do little justice to these volumes who
regard them as of value only to the young. We know of no book of
the kind in which the upper classes of public schools may more
successfully study those facts of which they are apt to be
miserably ignorant, and in which their fathers may find more
suggestive hints for the Pulpit and the Senate."—_Christian
Observer._
"We have no hesitation in saying, that this is one of the best
histories of the Roman Empire for children and young people which
has come under our notice. Mrs. Hamilton Gray has made herself
acquainted with at least some of the more important ancient
writers on the subject of which she treats, and also with the
criticisms of Niebuhr and other modern investigators of Roman
history."—_Athenæum._
"It may be recommended as a clear, rapid, and well-arranged
summary of facts, pointed by frequent but brief reflections....
The book is a very good compendium of the Imperial History,
primarily designed for children, but useful for
all."—_Spectator._
"It would be an erroneous impression to convey of this volume,
that it is written solely for schools and children. In reality
it is an abridgment far more likely to be useful to grown-up
persons, who can reflect upon the working of general laws, and
make their own observations upon men and things. A striking
characteristic of the book is the impartiality of its political
tone, and its high moral feeling."—_Examiner._
—— History of Rome for Young Persons. With numerous Wood Engravings.
2 vols. 12mo. cloth, 12_s._
"A very ingenious attempt to bring the recent discoveries of

calculated to awaken and sustain the attention."—_Athenæum._

"They are, in truth, as appears to us, compositions of very rare

5_s._ 6_d._
"These Sermons are marked by unaffected piety, great clearness
of exposition, and a direct plainness of style and purpose which
render them pre-eminently practical."—_Britannia._
"A set of plain, spirited discourses, which are not unlikely to
disturb the repose of the drowsy, and to send home simple truths
to the hearts that heed them. The Sermons are, besides,
scriptural in their doctrinal views, charitable in temper,
unpolemical, rather asserting the truth than contending for
it."—_Christian Observer._

wisdom and goodness of the Creator. The illustration of
scriptural facts is also continually kept in view, and suitable
moral and religious lessons are drawn. The book is for holiday
rather than for school use, and the forms of conversation are
the better preserved by occasional digressions from the subject
immediately in hand."—_Record._

"Mr. Ross appears to have been a remarkable man. He had fine
natural talents, and much acquired learning; and all his
attainments were devoted to the Saviour's glory. We have read
the Memoir with great interest; and we think that no one can
carefully peruse it without honouring the character therein
portrayed, and feeling some additional spur to diligent
advancement in God's service. The Sermons are weighty, and well
deserve perusal. The volume is altogether most important, as it
exhibits the history and labours of an Irish clergyman, who, by
his position, saw much into that strife which is so keenly
carried on between the truth of Scripture and the perversions of
Rome."—_Church of England Magazine._

find here; and all we have perused of the volume has instructed
us not a little."—_English Review._
"The volume consists of letters chiefly addressed to his son
and daughter; and exhibits the writer in a very amiable,
affectionate, pious, and sensible light. Some of the epistles to
his son contain judicious advice on study and critical remarks
on books."—_Spectator._

cheerful, unaffected, kindly, without overweening conceit or

THOMPSON, B.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Incumbent of Old
Brentford. 12mo. cloth, 5_s._
"In a theological point of view his object is very successfully
accomplished by Mr. Thompson. In a literary sense the plan of
the writer gives purpose, variety, and interest to his
discourses. Biography and applied morality are superadded to the
general matter of a sermon. The style is agreeable—the manner
rapid and impressive."—_Spectator._

by its original publication,—the first, a truly Christian
narrative of the manners and habits of a religious family,
combined with an elegant description of the diversified scenery
of the Lake countries; and the second, a donation, to a
considerable amount, by the sale, to the purposes of the Church
Missionary Society. The same objects are kept in view in the
second issue, and we can, therefore, do nothing better now to
increase its circulation, than by assuring our readers that the
excellence of the design has been sought to be performed in the
most satisfactory manner."—_Bell's Messenger._

edified with the perusal."—_Christian Remembrancer._

perusal."—_Britannia._
WOLFE, Rev. C.—Six Plain Sermons, preached to a Rural Congregation.
By the Rev. CHARLES WOLFE, late Curate of Kemsing, Kent. Fcap. cloth,
2_s._ 6_d._
"The name prefixed to this volume is so dear to the Christian
and literary world, that we took it up with a feeling of
pleasure and interest, and have not been disappointed. It is by
the nephew of the celebrated author of the 'Ode on the Burial of
Sir John Moore,' pronounced by Byron to be the _chef-d'œuvre_ of
all odes in our tongue. The sermons are simple, warm,
affectionate, scriptural, and substantial: there is still a
gleam of genius beneath all, which betrays that power is
modulating itself to humility, and that there is no gap in the
links of hereditary talent," &c.—_Church of England Quarterly
Review._

"The most striking point in Mr. Woodward's writings, the point

hearts, is the high and elevated standard of holiness which he
ever places before us, the deeply practical tendency of all his
thoughts," &c.—_English Review._

SPECIMENS OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
[Illustration]
[Illustration: OF HUMILITY.
Vice is grown aweary of her gawds, and donneth russet garments,
Loving for change to walk as a nun, beneath a modest veil:
For Pride hath noted how all admire the fairness of Humility,
And to clutch the praise he coveteth, is content to be drest in
hair-cloth;]
[Illustration: OF BEAUTY.
Beauty is dependence in the babe, a toothless tender nurseling;
Beauty is boldness in the boy, a curly rosy truant;
Beauty is modesty and grace in fair retiring girlhood;
Beauty is openness and strength in pure high-minded youth;]
