"It is a great deal to be able to say in favour of this book that we
have discovered nothing in it which can annoy or offend a member of any
Christian denomination; and that many of the quotations are not only
valuable in themselves, but have been collected from sources not easily
accessible to the general reader. Not a few of the chapters are,
however, Mr. Welby’s own composition; and these are, for the most part,
thoughtfully and carefully written."—_The Critic._
"The author and compiler of this work is evidently a largely-read and
deeply-thinking man. For its plentiful suggestiveness alone it should
meet with a kindly and grateful acceptance. It is a pleasant, dreamy,
charming, startling little volume, every page of which sparkles like a
gem in an antique setting."—_Weekly Dispatch._
"This book is the result of extensive reading and careful noting; it is
such a commonplace book as some thoughtful divine or physician might
have compiled, gathering together a vast variety of opinions and
speculations bearing on physiology, the phenomena of life, and the
nature and future existence of the soul. With these are blended facts,
anecdotes, personal traits of character, and well-grounded arguments,
with the one guiding intention of strengthening the Christian’s faith
with the thoughts and conclusions of the great and good of the earth.
Mr. Horace Welby has brought together a mass of matter that might be
sought in vain through the most extensive library; and we know of no
work that so strongly compels reflection, and so well assists
it."—_Lond. Review._
