“Mr. Nicoll’s well-arranged volume will be of service to the student
and interesting to the general reader. Biography and history are
combined with criticism, so that the men are seen as well as their
works.... The copious and careful table of chronology gives a
distinct value to the book as a work of reference. The volume is
without pretension, and deserves praise for simplicity of purpose, as
well as for careful workmanship.”—_Spectator._
_Second and Cheap Edition._
WITH EIGHT PORTRAITS, 464 pp., crown 8vo., cloth, price 3s. 6d.; gilt
edges, 4s.
=Great Movements and those who= Achieved Them. By HENRY J. NICOLL,
Author of “Landmarks of English Literature,” etc.
“A useful book.... Such work ... should always find its reward in an
age too busy or too careless to search out for itself the sources of
the great streams of modern civilization.”—_Times._
“An excellent series of biographies.... It has the merit of
bespeaking our sympathies, not as books of this class are rather apt
to do, on the ground of mere success, but rather on the higher plea
of adherence to a lofty standard of duty.”—_Daily News._
“Immense benefit might be done by adopting it as a prize book for
young people in the upper classes of most sorts of schools.”—_School
Board Chronicle._
Crown 8vo., 576 pp., cloth, price 6s. 6d.; gilt edges, 7s.

With Hints on Self-Culture and Chapters on the Higher Education and
Employment of Women. By W. H. DAVENPORT ADAMS.
“It is a small thing to say that it is excellent, and it is only
justice to add that this all-important subject is dealt with in a
style at once masterly, erudite, charming.”—_Social Notes._
“As an aid and incitement to self-culture in girls, and pure
and unexceptionable in tone, this book may be very thoroughly
recommended, and deserves a wide circulation.”—_English-woman’s
Review._
“It is a noble record of the work of woman ... and one of the very
best books which can be placed in the hands of a girl.”—_Scholastic
World._
