full of interest, and the little volume will be useful for
reference.”—_Graphic_.

career of the great Reformer, drawn up by an acknowledged master of
the subject, and of a judicious selection of characteristic passages
from Wiclif’s works.”—_St. James’s Gazette_.
“No better summary of the conclusions could perhaps be given than
that which Dr. Buddensieg has epitomized.”—_British Quarterly

well printed on thick paper, containing a scholarly and appreciative
account of Wiclif’s life.”—_Nonconformist_.
“Beautifully printed in the old-fashioned manner, and bound in
imitation of vellum, this book is a thing of beauty. The specimens
