Regius Professor of Technology in the University of Edinburgh. By his
Sister, JESSIE AITKEN WILSON. With Portrait. 8vo. cloth, price 10s. 6d.
'His life was so pregnant in meaning, so rich in noble deeds, so full of
that spiritual vitality which serves to quicken life in others; it bore
witness to so many principles which we can only fully understand when we
see them in action: it presented so many real pictures of dauntless
courage and of Christian heroism, that we welcome gratefully the attempt
to reproduce it which has resulted in the volume before us. Miss Wilson
has entered lovingly upon her task, and has accomplished it well.'

Late Incumbent of St. Stephen's, Brighton.
By JOHN NASSAU SIMPKINSON, M.A. Rector of Brington, Northampton.
Third and cheaper Edition. Fcp. 8vo. 5s.
'A more edifying biography we have rarely met with ... If any parish
priest, discouraged by what he may consider an unpromising aspect of the
time, should be losing heart ... we recommend him to procure this
edifying memoir, to study it well, to set the example of the holy man
who is the subject of it before him in all its length and breadth, and
then he will appreciate what can be done even by one earnest man; and
gathering fresh inspiration, he will chide himself for all previous
discontent, and address himself with stronger purpose than ever to the
lowly works and lofty aims of the ministry entrusted to his charge.'
