WITH CONNECTING HISTORIES OF THE TIMES IN WHICH THEY LIVED. By the REV. RICHARD CATTERMOLE, B.D. The design of this work is, to present, on a scale and in a manner adapted to general appreciation, an estimate of the literary character and monuments of our venerable Church. The moral excellences, the religious principles, and the learned labours of her more distinguished Divines, as exhibited in their lives, and exemplified by entire treatises, or considerable portions, selected from their writings, will constitute the chief materials of the design; but connected and bound together as a continuous work, by a broad view of English Church History. Thus the general, and especially the youthful reader will be furnished, in these volumes, with a knowledge, sufficient for his purpose, of what as Englishmen we owe to the National Church, and to those gifted and energetic minds who have zealously laboured in her service for the honour of God and the good of mankind; while others, who, from professional duty, or a serious literary taste, intend to devote themselves systematically to the study of that unequalled treasure of thought, erudition, and eloquence,--the Theological Literature of England,--will be prepared by the previous perusal of these volumes for more profound and extensive research. _In the Press._ Recreation in the Sciences, A SERIES OF POPULAR WORKS. The tendency of which is to show how much of _recreation_, combined with sound knowledge, may be found in natural objects. The traveller and the historian, the artist and the artisan, offer their various works and productions for the study or recreation of young and old, but they invite attention, for the most part, to the imperfect works of man, and their productions, though valuable in themselves, possess not that attractive interest and unwearying amusement which is to be found in the contemplation of the perfect works of Nature. But can it be doubted that, in the beautiful and endless variety of Nature’s works, there exists a store of unfailing amusement and instruction, the pursuit of which is sure to form a profitable occupation for the general reader during many a leisure hour, and is also admirably calculated to supersede many of the recreations of the young, which are productive of no useful results? Of this Series there are already published,-- I. RECREATIONS IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY; Or, THE EARTH AS IT IS. By Miss R. M. ZORNLIN. Foolscap Octavo, with numerous Cuts, Maps, &c. 6_s._ II.
