“_It bears traces throughout of having been due to a patient, loving
and appreciative study of the great poet, as he is exhibited, not
merely in the ‘Divina Commedia,’ but in his other writings. The result
has been a book which is not only delightful in itself to read, but
is admirably adapted as an encouragement to those students who wish to
obtain a preliminary survey of the land before they attempt to follow
Dante through his long and arduous pilgrimage. Of all poets Dante
stands most in need of such assistance as this book offers._”――SATURDAY
REVIEW.
=PARISH MUSINGS; OR, DEVOTIONAL POEMS.= By JOHN S. B. MONSELL,
LL.D., Rural Dean, and Rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford. Fine
Edition. Small 8vo. 5s. Cheap Edition, 18mo, limp cloth, 1s.
6d.; or in Cover, 1s.
=THE LIFE OF JUSTIFICATION.= A Series of Lectures delivered in
Substance at All Saints’, Margaret Street, in Lent, 1870. By
the Rev. GEORGE BODY, B.A., Rector of Kirkby Misperton. Second
Edition. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.
“_On the whole we have rarely met with a more clear, intelligible and
persuasive statement of the truth as regards the important topics on
which the volume treats. Sermon II. in particular, will strike every
one by its eloquence and beauty, but we scarcely like to specify it,
lest in praising it we should seem to disparage the other portions of
this admirable little work._”――CHURCH TIMES.
“_These discourses show that their author’s position is due to
something more and higher than mere fluency, gesticulation, and
flexibility of voice. He appears as having drunk deeply at the
fountain of St. Augustine, and as understanding how to translate
the burning words of that mighty genius into the current language
of to-day._”――UNION REVIEW.
“_There is real power in these sermons:――power, real power, and
plenty of it.... There is such a moral veraciousness about him, such a
profound and over-mastering belief that Christ has proved a bona-fide
cure for unholiness, and such an intensity of eagerness to lead others
to seek and profit by that means of attaining the true sanctity which
alone can enter Heaven――that we wonder not at the crowds which hang
upon his preaching, nor at the success of his fervid appeals to the
human conscience. If any one doubts our verdict, let him buy this
volume. No one will regret its perusal._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
