“Home duties, amusement, social claims and appropriate literature,
are subjects successively treated, and treated with both knowledge
and sound judgment.”—_Pall Mall Gazette._
“_A wide field of variety, and some of the strongest elements
of romantic interest, are covered by and comprised in the books
published by Mr. Hogg._”—SCHOOL BOARD CHRONICLE.
Southey’s Edition, with Life of Bunyan, &c.
Illustrated with the Original Wood Blocks, by W. HARVEY.
Large crown 8vo., 402 pp., cloth, price 3s. 6d.; gilt edges, 4s.
=The Pilgrim’s Progress. In Two= Parts. By JOHN BUNYAN. With
Bibliographical Notes, and a Life of the Author, by ROBERT SOUTHEY;
Portrait and Autograph of BUNYAN, and Thirty Wood Engravings by W.
HARVEY, from the Original Blocks. The Text in large type (Small
Pica). This is a reprint (with additional notes) of the edition
published by John Major, London, 1830, at 21s., which was highly
eulogized by Sir Walter Scott and Lord Macaulay.
“This reprint, at a very moderate price, may be regarded as a
popular boon.”—_Daily Telegraph._
“An excellent edition of the great allegory. It contains Southey’s
‘Life,’ which certainly stands first for literary merit.”—_Pall
Mall Gazette._
“Costlier editions are on sale, but none produced with more taste
than this one.”—_Dispatch._
“A real service has been rendered for those who want a thoroughly
readable copy of ‘The Pilgrim’s Progress.’”—_Literary World._
“The whole book is reproduced in excellent fashion.”—_Scotsman._
“This edition has exceptional claims upon public favour. The late
poet laureate’s biography is in his best manner, while Harvey’s
effective woodcuts are in themselves a feature of very considerable
interest to lovers of British art. In the matter of typography and
general get-up the reprint is in every respect superior to the
original edition, and the low price at which the book is published
should tempt many to obtain a copy. The binding and decorations are
very effective, and the volume is fitted to grace any drawing-room
table.”—_Oxford Times._
Second Edition, with Eight Engravings after Celebrated Painters.
Small crown 8vo., 392 pp., cloth, price 3s. 6d.; gilt edges, 4s.
=The Church Seasons. Historically= and Poetically Illustrated. By
ALEXANDER H. GRANT, M.A., Author of “Half-Hours with our Sacred
Poets.”
☞ The aim has been to trace the origin and history of the Festivals
and Fasts of the Ecclesiastical Year, and to illustrate in
poetry the circumstances under which they began and continue to
be celebrated, and the principal ideas and doctrines which they
severally incorporate.
“Our festival year is a bulwark of orthodoxy as real as our
confessions of faith.”—PROFESSOR ARCHER BUTLER.
