COMMENTS
I find “The Quest of Happiness” a very rich and beautiful work. It
is eminently a book for the home. Wherever it is known it must make
life sweeter and more wholesome. PHILIP S. MOXOM, _Pastor of South
Congregational Church, Springfield, Mass._
It is a book full of help and sympathy, marked by a wide acquaintance
with literature and with life, and by a true insight into those
conditions which make for the truest and best existence. S. P. CADMAN,
_Pastor of Central Congregational Church, Brooklyn_.
It is a consummate statement of the highest conception of the nature
of human life, and of the only methods by which its meaning and
possibilities can be attained. Dr. Hillis is not only a great master of
style, but a serene satisfaction with God’s method of moral government
breathes from every page and makes the teacher trustworthy. CHARLES
FREDERIC GOSS.
“The Quest of Happiness” is Dr. Hillis’s very best book. It is strong,
vivid, clear, and has a certain indefinable human quality which will
be sure to give it a large circulation and make it a source of great
helpfulness. I especially enjoyed the “Forewords.” They would make an
attractive volume in themselves. AMORY H. BRADFORD, _Pastor of First
Congregational Church, Montclair, N. J._
THE PLEASURES OF LIFE
BY
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK
[LORD AVEBURY]
_Cloth, 12 mo_, $1.25
It is good to read his cheery chapters, and to rejoice that there is
one such glad optimist in this sad world. _Boston Herald._
The tone of the work throughout is harmlessly optimistic, and it has a
hearty and cheery drift, very salutary for disheartened or over-wearied
people. _The Dial._
A good wholesome book. The literary variety of expression is charming.
_Home Journal._
THE USE OF LIFE
BY
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK
_Author of “The Pleasures of Life,” etc., etc._
_Cloth, 12 mo_, $1.25
One of the most astounding men of letters of to-day. An exceptional
weight attaches to the kindly philosophy of his latest long talk “The
Use of Life,” and everybody will rise the better from the perusal of
his meditations. _Philadelphia Record._
Inspired by a wholesome optimism, sound common sense, and a reverent
recognition of the higher truths of existence. Just the volume that
needed to be written on a subject full of vital interest to every
thoughtful man and woman. _The Bookman._
