“Mr. Grant’s scholarship is endorsed by authorities; his method is good, his style clear, and his treatment so impartial that his work has been praised alike by _Church Times_, _Record_, _Watchman_, _Freeman_, and _Nonconformist_. No words of ours could better prove the catholicity of a most instructive and valuable work.”—_Peterborough Advertiser._ “The work shows very plainly that much care and judgment has been used in its compilation.... The intrinsic worth of its contents and their lasting usefulness admirably adapt it for a present. The eight engravings have been chosen so as to give examples of the highest samples of sacred art.”—_Oxford Times._ “A very delightful volume for Sunday reading, the devotional character of the hymns giving an especial charm to the work. The historical information will be proved full of interest to young Churchmen, and young ladies especially will find the work to be one well adapted to inform the mind and gladden the heart.”—_Bible Christian Magazine._ “Mr. Grant’s volume is worthy of high praise, alike for its careful research and its discriminative quotations. There is so much religious literature which is below the level of criticism, that we cannot but welcome a volume which commends itself to a cultivated Christian audience.”—_Echo._ “_Mr. John Hogg is always successful in producing an attractive array of books for youthful readers, ... and we ought to add, that all his publications are prettily got up._”—BRISTOL MERCURY. WITH EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS BY FRANK ABELL, PRINTED ON TONED PAPER. Large crown 8vo., 422 pp., cloth, price 3s. 6d.; gilt edges, 4s. =The Adventures of Maurice Drummore= (Royal Marines), by Land and Sea. By LINDON MEADOWS, Author of “Whittlings from the West,” “College Recollections and Church Experiences,” “Jailbirds, or the Secrets of the Cells,” etc. “Every boy who is lucky enough to get these adventures once into his hands will be slow in parting with them until he has brought the hero safely home through them all.”—_British Mail._ “A very good sort of story it is, with more of flavour than most.”—_World._ “We have seen nothing in this book to contradict at least the latter part of an opinion quoted in the preface from a correspondent, that it is one of the cleverest, and one of the healthiest, tales for boys with which the writer was acquainted.”—_Spectator._ “It is almost equal to Robinson Crusoe.”—_Sheffield Independent._ “A capital story. The adventures are excellently told. Many of such books are mere imitations, and have no originality. Lindon Meadows’ story has originality, and it is well worth reading.”—_Scotsman._ “It has a distinct literary flavour, and is realistic in the best sense.”—_Athenæum._
