Michael Faraday: Third Edition, with Portrait
Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
"_The book is calculated to recall pleasant memories of holidays
well spent, and scenes not easily to be forgotten. To those who
have never been in the Western Highlands, or sailed along the Frith
of Clyde and on the Western Coast, it will seem almost like a fairy
story. There is a charm in the volume which makes it anything but
easy for a reader who has opened it to put it down until the last
page has been read._"--SCOTSMAN.
=Mrs. Jerningham's Journal.= A Poem purporting to be the Journal of a
newly-married Lady. Second Edition. Fcap. 8vo. 3_s._ 6_d._
"_It is nearly a perfect gem. We have had nothing so good for
a long time, and those who neglect to read it are neglecting
one of the jewels of contemporary history._"--EDINBURGH DAILY
REVIEW. "_One quality in the piece, sufficient of itself to claim
a moment's attention, is that it is unique--original, indeed,
is not too strong a word--in the manner of its conception and
execution._"--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
=Mudie.=--STRAY LEAVES. By C. E. MUDIE. New Edition. Extra fcap. 8vo.
3_s._ 6_d._ Contents:--"His and Mine"--"Night and Day"--"One of Many,"

_This little volume consists of a number of poems, mostly of a
genuinely devotional character._ "_They are for the most part
so exquisitely sweet and delicate as to be quite a marvel of
composition. They are worthy of being laid up in the recesses of
the heart, and recalled to memory from time to time._"--ILLUSTRATED
LONDON NEWS.

Influence on the Character of the People. By J. CLARK MURRAY, LL.D.,
Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy in McGill College, Montreal.
Crown 8vo. 6_s._
"_Independently of the lucidity of the style in which the whole
book is written, the selection of the examples alone would
recommend it to favour, while the geniality of the criticism upon
those examples cannot fail to make them highly appreciated and
valued._"--MORNING POST.
=Myers (Ernest).=--THE PURITANS. By ERNEST MYERS. Extra fcap. 8vo.
cloth. 2_s._ 6_d._
"_It is not too much to call it a really grand poem, stately and
dignified, and showing not only a high poetic mind, but also great
power over poetic expression._"--LITERARY CHURCHMAN.
=Myers (F. W. H.)=--POEMS. By F. W. H. MYERS. Containing "St. Paul,"
"St. John," and others. Extra fcap. 8vo. 4_s._ 6_d._
"_It is rare to find a writer who combines to such an extent the
faculty of communicating feelings with the faculty of euphonious
expression._"--SPECTATOR. "_'St. Paul' stands without a rival
as the noblest religious poem which has been written in an age
which beyond any other has been prolific in this class of poetry.
The sublimest conceptions are expressed in language which, for
richness, taste, and purity, we have never seen excelled._"--JOHN
BULL.
