“_In these light miscellany days there is a spiritual refreshment in the spectacle of man girding up the loins of his mind to the task of producing a genuine epic. And it is true poetry. There is a definiteness, a crispness about it, which in these moist, viewy, hazy days ♦is no less invigorating than novel._”――EDINBURGH DAILY REVIEW. ♦ “in” replaced with “is” =THE TWO BROTHERS=, and other Poems. By EDWARD HENRY BICKERSTETH, M.A., Vicar of Christ Church, Hampstead, and Chaplain to the Bishop of Ripon, Author of “Yesterday, To-day, and for Ever.” Second Edition. Small 8vo. 6s. =A HANDY BOOK OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL DILAPIDATIONS ACT, 1871.= With the Amendment Act, 1872. With Remarks on the Qualification and Practice of Diocesan Surveyors. By EDWARD G. BRUTON, F.R.I.B.A., and Diocesan Surveyor, Oxford. Crown 8vo. 5s. =STONES OF THE TEMPLE; OR, LESSONS FROM THE FABRIC AND FURNITURE OF THE CHURCH.= By WALTER FIELD, M.A., F.S.A., Vicar of Godmersham. With numerous Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d. “_Anyone who wishes for simple information on the subjects of Church-architecture and furniture, cannot do better than consult ‘Stones of the Temple.’ Mr. Field modestly disclaims any intention of supplanting the existing regular treatises, but his book shows an amount of research, and a knowledge of what he is talking about, which make it practically useful as well as pleasant. The wood-cuts are numerous and some of them very pretty._”――GRAPHIC. “_A very charming book, by the Rev. Walter Field, who was for years Secretary of one of the leading Church Societies. Mr. Field has a loving reverence for the beauty of the domus mansionalis Dei, as the old law books called the Parish Church.... Thoroughly sound in Church feeling, Mr. Field has chosen the medium of a tale to embody real incidents illustrative of the various portions of his subject. There is no attempt at elaboration of the narrative, which, indeed, is rather a string of anecdotes than a story, but each chapter brings home to the mind its own lesson, and each is illustrated with some very interesting engravings.... The work will properly command a hearty reception from Churchmen. The footnotes are occasionally most valuable, and are always pertinent, and the text is sure to be popular with young folks for Sunday reading._”――STANDARD. “_Mr. Field’s chapters on brasses, chancel screens, crosses, encaustic tiles, mural paintings, porches and pavements, are agreeably written, and people with a turn for Ritualism will no doubt find them edifying. The volume, as we have said, is not without significance for readers who are unable to sympathize with the object of the writer. The illustrations of Church-architecture and Church ornaments are very attractive._”――PALL MALL GAZETTE. =A SHADOW OF DANTE.= Being an Essay towards Studying Himself, his World, and his Pilgrimage. By MARIA FRANCESCA ROSSETTI. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d.
