Fletcher, John, 1729-1785
"This series of biographies has a distinct aim, and occupies
a distinct place. It purposes to record the lives of men
eminent for religious character or service. The series is
well begun by Dr. Stoughton's excellent memoir of
Wilberforce, which is done with equal literary skill, sound
judgment, and good taste. It is admirable in feeling, and
from beginning to end full of interest."--_British Quarterly
Review._
II.
HENRY MARTYN.
By CHARLES D. BELL, D.D., Honorary Canon of Carlisle, and
Rector of Cheltenham.
"A worthy record of a noble life."--_Whitehall Review._
"In every way a most delightful volume."--_Rock._
III.
PHILIP DODDRIDGE.
By CHARLES STANFORD, D.D.
"The story of the life and life-work of Doddridge is told by
Dr. Stanford with felicitous grace and extraordinary
animation. The romance and the conflict of the life, the
delicate culture and high breeding of the man, and the
various results of his sanctified intelligence and
consecrated sense, are delineated with subtle tact and fine
feeling."--_Evangelical Magazine._
IV.
STEPHEN GRELLET.
By WILLIAM GUEST, F.G.S.
"The singularly adventurous history of Grellet, a son of
noble parents established at Limoges, in France, who yet
became one of the most distinguished American Quaker
preachers, is not wholly unknown even beyond the Society of
Friends. Mr. Guest necessarily condenses his facts, but his
little book nevertheless presents many scenes of striking
interest."--_Daily News._
"If it were in our power, we would induce every one of our
readers to invest his first spare half-crown in this book,
and then we would persuade him to read it through and
through."--_Sword and Trowel._
"A marvellous story of adventurous mission and extraordinary
acceptance."--_Evangelical Magazine._
V.
ROBERT HALL.
By E. PAXTON HOOD.
"Whatever thou art, orthodox or heterodox, send for the Life
of Robert Hall."--_Bulwer Lytton's "The Caxtons."_
"Mr. Paxton Hood's brilliant pen has given us a sketch of
Robert Hall worthy to rank beside Dr. Stanford's 'Philip
Doddridge.'"--_Christian._
"We have not often taken up a more interesting
biography."--_Record._
"Mr. Hood has delineated Robert Hall very successfully. A
wide range of knowledge, a fine instinctive perception, and
considerable literary aptitude, make this memoir about the
best delineation of the great preacher that we
know."--_British Quarterly Review._
VI.
THOMAS CHALMERS.
By DONALD FRASER, D.D.
"Characterized by a true appreciation of Dr. Chalmers'
character and work, and is written in a vigorous and
interesting manner."--_United Presbyterian Magazine._
"Dr. Fraser has evidently found the subject a congenial one,
and he has treated it in a skilful and effective
manner."--_Rock._
