The following are selected from a large number of favourable notices:
"The author has evidently reflected deeply on the subject of Socialism,
and his views are broad, equitable, and quite up to date. In a score or so
of chapters he discusses Socialism from manifold points of view, and in
its manifold aspects. Mr. Maxwell is not a fanatic; his book is not dull,
and his style is not amateurish."--_Hull Daily Mail._
"There is a good deal of charm about Mr. Maxwell's style."--_Northern
Daily News._

The Monumental Brasses of Lancashire and Cheshire.
With some Account of the Persons Represented.
_Illustrated with Engravings from Drawings by the Author._
By JAMES L. THORNELY.
"Mr. Thornely's book will be eagerly sought by all lovers of monumental
brasses."--_London Quarterly Review._
"Local archæologists will give a hearty welcome to this
book."--_Manchester Guardian._
"Mr. Thornely has produced a very interesting volume, as he has not only
figured every monumental brass within the two counties to which he has
confined his researches, but in every case he has given a description
also, and in some instances the genealogical information is of a high
order of value."--_The Tablet._
"The book is wonderfully readable for its kind, and is evidently the
result of careful and painstaking labour. The chapters are well condensed,
nowhere burdened with verbiage, yet sufficiently full to serve the purpose
in view. The illustrations of the various brasses are exceedingly well
done, and add much value and interest to the work, which should become
popular in Lancashire and Cheshire."--_Warrington Guardian._
The Press on Messrs. William Andrews & Co.'s Printing and Binding.
"The book is very handsomely got up."--_Dundee Advertiser._
"A remarkably handsome volume, typographically equal to the best
production of any European capital."--_North British Daily Mail._
"The book is entitled to unstinted praise on the ground of its admirable
printing and binding."--_Shields Daily Gazette._
