"An admirable and delightful biography, written with great literary grace and equally great spiritual sympathy. A most interesting account of religious Scotland as it was two hundred years ago."--_British Messenger._ XI. RICHARD BAXTER. By the Very Rev. G. D. BOYLE, M.A., Dean of Salisbury. "The Dean of Salisbury has given in a popular form a trustworthy and attractive summary of a somewhat puzzling and complex personality and career. Mr. Boyle's estimate of Baxter's theological position is marked by a singular candour and liberality of sentiment. His presentation of fact is as accurate as his criticism is sound."--_Academy._ "The biography of Richard Baxter by Dean Boyle is an intellectual feast. In it we have vivid pictures of the troublous times of the seventeenth century, and of course we get a particular account of the eminent Nonconformist, his religious convictions, his ministerial work, his sufferings under persecution, his trial before the terrible Chief Justice Jeffreys, the strong and the weak sides of his character, his political influence, his voluminous writings, his majestic prowess as a casuist, his yearning for a real and comprehensive unity amongst Christians, and, above all, his childlike resignation to God's will. All these topics are delightfully descanted upon by the Dean of Salisbury."--_Clergyman's Magazine._ XII. JOHN KNOX. By WM. M. TAYLOR, LL.D. "A bold and vigorous sketch of the illustrious preacher, for whom a claim is made that 'if not pre-eminently the Scotchman of history,' he is certainly 'one of the three mightiest,' of 'the first three' of his nation."--_Daily Chronicle._ "An admirable biography of John Knox. The volume forms the most compendious and trustworthy and, perhaps we may add, interesting memoir of the great reformer available to the general reader."--_Liverpool Daily Post._ LONDON: HODDER AND STOUGHTON, 27, PATERNOSTER ROW. * * * * * Transcriber's Notes Made minor punctuation corrections.
