“_An extremely well-printed and well got up edition, as pretty and
graceful as possible, and yet not too fine for real use. We wish the
devotions of this beautiful book were more commonly used._”――LITERARY
CHURCHMAN.
“_We must admit that there is a want of helps to spiritual life amongst
us. Our age is so secular, and in religious movements so bustling, that
it is to be feared the inner life is too often forgotten. Our public
teachers may, we are sure, gain by consulting books which show how
contentedness and self-renunciation may be increased; and in which the
pathology of all human affections is treated with a fulness not common
in our theological class rooms._”――FREEMAN.
“_The publishers have done good service by the production of these
beautiful editions of works, which will never lose their preciousness
to devout Christian spirits. It is not necessary for us to say a word
as to their intrinsic merits; we have only to testify to the good
taste, judgment, and care shown in these editions. They are extremely
beautiful in typography and in the general getting up._”――ENGLISH
INDEPENDENT.
“_We ought not to conclude our notice of recent devotional books,
without mentioning to our readers the above new, elegant, and cheap
reprint, which we trust will never be out of date or out of favour in
the English branch of the Catholic Church._”――LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
“_These manuals of piety written by the pen of the most beautiful
writer and the most impressive divine of the English Church, need no
commendation from us. They are known to the world, read in all lands,
and translated, we have heard, into fifty different languages. For two
centuries they have fed the faith of thousands upon thousands of souls,
now we trust happy with their God, and perhaps meditating in Heaven
with gratitude on their celestial truths, kindled in their souls by a
writer who was little short of being inspired._”――ROCK.
“_These little volumes will be appreciated as presents of inestimable
value._”――PUBLIC OPINION.
“_Either separate or bound together, may be had these two standard
works of the great divine. A good edition very tastefully printed and
bound._”――RECORD.
