Edited by R. L. Ottley, D.D., Professor of Pastoral Theology at Oxford, and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford.

The series is intended, in part, to furnish the clergy and teachers or students of Theology with trustworthy Text-books, adequately representing the present position of the questions dealt with; in part, to make accessible to the reading public an accurate and concise statement of facts and principles in all questions bearing on Theology and Religion.

General Editor, WALTER LOCK, D.D., Warden of Keble College, Dean Ireland’s Professor of Exegesis in the University of Oxford.

The object of each commentary is primarily exegetical, to interpret the author’s meaning to the present generation. The editors will not deal, except very subordinately, with questions of textual criticism or philology; but, taking the English text in the Revised Version as their basis, they will try to combine a hearty acceptance of critical principles with loyalty to the Catholic Faith.

‘The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception. This “Dream of the World’s Tragedy” is a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.’—Dublin Review.

‘A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon... novel, and even sublime.’—W. T. Stead in the Review of Reviews.

‘It cannot be denied that “The Master Christian” is a powerful book; that it is one likely to raise uncomfortable questions in all but the most self-satisfied readers, and that it strikes at the root of the failure of the Churches—the decay of faith—in a manner which shows the inevitable disaster heaping up.... The good Cardinal Bonpré is a beautiful figure, fit to stand beside the good Bishop in “Les Misérables.” It is a book with a serious purpose expressed with absolute unconventionality and passion.... And this is to say it is a book worth reading.’—Examiner.

‘It is impossible to read such a work as “Temporal Power” without becoming convinced that the story is intended to convey certain criticisms on the ways of the world and certain suggestions for the betterment of humanity.... If the chief intention of the book was to hold the mirror up to shams, injustice, dishonesty, cruelty, and neglect of conscience, nothing but praise can be given to that intention.’—Morning Post.

Cotes (Mrs. Everard). See Sara Jeannette Duncan.

‘A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure.’—The World.

‘A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters are traced with a masterly hand.’—Times.

‘Of all Mr. Hope’s books, “A Man of Mark” is the one which best compares with “The Prisoner of Zenda.”’—National Observer.

‘It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure romance. The Count is the most constant, desperate, and modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a faithful friend, and a magnanimous foe.’—Guardian.

‘The tale is thoroughly fresh, quick with vitality, stirring the blood.’—St. James’s Gazette.

‘There is searching analysis of human nature, with a most ingeniously constructed plot. Mr. Hope has drawn the contrasts of his women with marvellous subtlety and delicacy.’—Times.

‘In elegance, delicacy, and tact it ranks with the best of his novels, while in the wide range of its portraiture and the subtilty of its analysis it surpasses all his earlier ventures.’—Spectator.

‘The book is notable for a very high literary quality, and an impress of power and mastery on every page.’—Daily Chronicle.

‘Can be unreservedly recommended to all who have not lost their appetite for wholesome laughter.’—Spectator.

‘The best humorous book published for many a day.’—Black and White.

THE HISTORY OF SIR RICHARD CALMADY. Seventh Edition.

‘A picture finely and amply conceived. In the strength and insight in which the story has been conceived, in the wealth of fancy and reflection bestowed upon its execution, and in the moving sincerity of its pathos throughout, “Sir Richard Calmady” must rank as the great novel of a great writer.’—Literature.

‘The ripest fruit of Lucas Malet’s genius. A picture of maternal love by turns tender and terrible.’—Spectator.

‘A remarkably fine book, with a noble motive and a sound conclusion.’—Pilot.

See also Shilling Novels.

‘A great book. The author’s method is amazingly effective, and produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the mark it is certain to make.’—World.

‘The book is a masterpiece.’—Pall Mall Gazette.

‘This is the new Mr. Arthur Morrison, gracious and tender, sympathetic and human.’—Daily Telegraph.

‘Admirable.... Delightful humorous relief... a most artistic and satisfactory achievement.’—Spectator.

‘A masterpiece of artistic realism. It has a finality of touch that only a master may command.’—Daily Chronicle.
