“_A departed author being dead yet speaketh in a way which will never
be out of date; Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper, published by Messrs.
Rivington, in bindings to suit all tastes and pockets._”――CHURCH REVIEW.
“_We may here fitly record that Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper has
been issued in a new but unabridged form._”――DAILY TELEGRAPH.
=INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVOUT LIFE.= From the French of SAINT
FRANCIS of Sales, Bishop and Prince of Geneva. A New
Translation.
“_A very beautiful edition of S. Francis de Sales’ ‘Devout Life:’ a
prettier little edition for binding, type, and paper, of a very great
book is not often seen._”――CHURCH REVIEW.
“_The translation is a good one, and the volume is beautifully got
up. It would serve admirably as a gift book to those who are able to
appreciate so spiritual a writer as St. Francis._”――CHURCH TIMES.
“_It has been the food and hope of countless souls ever since its
first appearance two centuries and a half ago, and it still ranks
with Scupoli’s ‘Combattimento Spirituale,’ and Arvisenet’s ‘Memoriale
Vitæ Sacerdotalis,’ as among the very best works of ascetic theology.
We are glad to commend this careful and convenient version to our
readers._”――UNION REVIEW.
“_We should be curious to know by how many different hands ‘The Devout
Life’ of S. Francis de Sales had been translated into English. At
any rate, its popularity is so great that Messrs. Rivington have just
issued another translation of it. The style is good, and the volume is
of a most convenient size._”――JOHN BULL.
“_To readers of religious treatises, this volume will be highly valued.
The ‘Introduction to the Devout Life’ is preceded by a sketch of the
life of the author, and a dedicatory prayer of the author is also
given._”――PUBLIC OPINION.

of melancholy Persons. By WILLIAM CHILCOT, M.A.
“_An elegant edition of an old devotional manual by a clergyman who
was a rector in Exeter at the beginning of the last century. It seems
to contain a great deal of valuable truth as to the sources of evil
thoughts and the mode in which they may be expressed._”――ENGLISH
INDEPENDENT.
“_The book is worthy of a careful perusal, and is one which once known
is likely to be recurred to again and again, a characteristic not
always to be met within works of our own day._”――RECORD.
“_Messrs. Rivington have done all that publishers could do to give
strengthening matter a cheerful form._”――CHURCH REVIEW.
