“_It is excessively difficult to review or criticise, in detail, a book of this kind, and yet its abounding merits, its practicalness, its searching good sense and thoroughness, and its frequent beauty, too, make us wish to do something more than announce its publication.... The style is eminently clear, free from redundance and prolixity._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN. “_Few save Religious and those brought into immediate contact with them are, in all probability, acquainted with the French treatise of Guilloré, a portion of which is now, for the first time we believe, done into English.... Hence the suitableness of such a book as this for those who, in the midst of their families, are endeavouring to advance in the spiritual life. Hundreds of devout souls living in the world have been encouraged and helped by such books as Dr. Neale’s ‘Sermons preached in a Religious House.’ For such the present work will be found appropriate, while for Religious themselves it will be invaluable._”――CHURCH TIMES. =THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF.= By S. BARING-GOULD, M.A., Author of “Curious Myths of the Middle Ages.” Volume I. MONOTHEISM and POLYTHEISM. Second Edition. 8vo. 15s. Volume II. CHRISTIANITY. 8vo. 15s. =THE HIDDEN LIFE OF THE SOUL.= From the French. By the Author of “A Dominican Artist,” “Life of Madame Louise de France,” &c. Crown 8vo. 5s. “_‘The Hidden Life of the Soul,’ by the author of ‘A Dominican Artist,’ is from the writings of Father Grou, a French refugee priest of 1792, who died at Lulworth. It well deserves the character given it of being ‘earnest and sober,’ and not ‘sensational.’_”――GUARDIAN. “_There is a wonderful charm about these readings――so calm, so true, so thoroughly Christian. We do not know where they would come amiss. As materials for a consecutive series of meditations for the faithful at a series of early celebrations they would be excellent, or for private reading during Advent or Lent._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN. “_From the French of Jean Nicolas Grou, a pious Priest, whose works teach resignation to the Divine will. He loved, we are told, to inculcate simplicity, freedom from all affectation and unreality, the patience and humility which are too surely grounded in self-knowledge to be surprised at a fall, but withal so allied to confidence in God as to make recovery easy and sure. This is the spirit of the volume which is intended to furnish advice to those who would cultivate a quiet, meek, and childlike spirit._”――PUBLIC OPINION. =A DOMINICAN ARTIST=; a Sketch of the Life of the Rev. Père Besson, of the Order of St. Dominic. By the Author of the “The Tales of Kirkbeck,” “The Life of Madame Louise de France,” &c. New Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.
