“The volume is pervaded by a spirit of deep piety, and it will be an agreeable and profitable companion to all students of the Sacred Volume. Its details are, throughout, most interesting; and the engravings by which it is illustrated are in all cases extremely well executed, and in many instances are eminently beautiful. We should say, that from the elegance of the volume it would be a very appropriate gift to young persons of piety, who are habitual students of the Bible.”

GRAGLIA, C.—A Pocket Dictionary of the Italian and English Languages. By C. Graglia. Square 18mo. bound, 4s. 6d.
“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.
“A very ingenious attempt to bring the recent discoveries of the critical school into working competition with the miserable Goldsmiths and Pinnocks of our youth.”
—Christian Remembrancer.
“The clear, lively, and pleasing style of narration is admirably calculated to awaken and sustain the attention.”
—Athenæum.
“A work which we strongly recommend as certain to afford pleasure and profit to every reader.”
—Athenæum.
“Mrs. Gray has won an honourable place in the large assembly of modern female writers.”
—Quarterly Review.
“We warmly recommend Mrs. Gray’s most useful and interesting volume.”
—Edinburgh Review.

—Spectator.
“More sound principles and useful practical remarks we have not lately met in any work on the much-treated subject of education. The book is written with liveliness as well as good sense.”
—Literary Gazette.
“A volume of excellent tendency, which may be put with safety and advantage into the hands of well-educated young people.”
—Evangelical Magazine.

“They are, in truth, as appears to us, compositions of very rare merit, and realise a notion we have always entertained, that a sermon for our rural congregations there somewhere was, if it could be hit off, which in language should be familiar without being plain, and in matter solid without being abstruse.”

“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.

Newly-Arranged Manual for Communicants at the Lord’s Supper, including the Service for the Holy Communion. 24mo. bound, 3s.
“This volume is designed for young children, and its contents are thrown into the dialogue form. The Circle of the Sciences is laid under contribution, not in any regular or scholastic order, but in such manner as to bring out the prominent facts which would be understood as ‘Wonders of Creation,’ showing the 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.”

“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.”

“The sale of the first edition of this pleasing volume was commensurate with its worth. The Author accomplished two objects 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.”

“These works are excellent. Miss Tytler’s writings are especially valuable for their religious spirit. She has taken a just position between the Rationalism of the last generation and the Puritanism of the present, while the perfect nature and true art with which she sketches from juvenile life, show powers which might be more ambitiously displayed, but cannot be better bestowed.”
—Quarterly Review.

“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.
