“_This beautiful little volume will be found specially convenient
as a pocket manual. The ‘Jacula Prudentum’ or proverbs, deserve to
be more widely known than they are at present. In many copies of
George Herbert’s writings these quaint sayings have been unfortunately
omitted._”――ROCK.
“_George Herbert is too much a household name to require any
introduction. It will be sufficient to say that Messrs. Rivington
have published a most compact and convenient edition of the poems and
proverbs of this illustrious English divine._”――ENGLISH CHURCHMAN.
“_An exceedingly pretty edition, the most attractive form we have yet
seen from this delightful author, as a gift-book._”――UNION REVIEW.
“_A very beautiful edition of the quaint old English bard. All lovers
of the ‘Holy’ Herbert will be grateful to Messrs. Rivington for the
care and pains they have bestowed in supplying them with this and
withal convenient copy of poems so well known and so deservedly
prized._”――LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW.
“_A very tasteful little book, and will doubtless be acceptable to
many._”――RECORD.
“_We commend this little book heartily to our readers. It contains
Herbert’s English poems and the ‘Jacula Prudentum,’ in a very neat
volume which does much credit to the publishers; it will, we hope,
meet with extensive circulation as a choice gift-book at a moderate
price._”――CHRISTIAN OBSERVER.
