“The deep religion of a thankful heart, Which rests instinctively in heaven’s law, With a full peace that never can depart From its own steadfastness; a holy awe For holy things—not those which men call holy, But such as are revealed to the eyes Of a true woman’s soul bent down and lowly Before the face of daily mysteries; A love that blossoms soon, but ripens slowly To the full goldenness of fruitful prime, Enduring with a firmness that defies All shallow tricks of circumstance and time; By a sure insight knowing where to cling, And where it clingeth never withering.” --------------------- Butler & Tanner, The Selwood Printing Works, Frome, and London. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WORKS BY WILLIAM ANDERSON. --------------------- _SELF-MADE MEN. Fourth and Cheap Edition,_ crown 8vo, price 3_s._ 6_d._ “This extraordinary book has just reached us as we are closing our sheet. It is a glowing, a glorious talk about all sorts of men, and all sorts of things; a cyclopædia of biographical facts. It must have required no small portion of the lifetime, even of a laborious man, to prepare himself for such an undertaking. To every young man in England we would say, ‘Haste and procure it, and then con it by incessant perusal till you have caught its spirit, and you will be a gainer as long as you live.’”—_Christian Witness._ “We should like to know that every young man in the land had this work in his possession. It would greatly aid his studies, and stimulate his exertions. It is a valuable and useful volume.”—_Wesleyan Times._ “His appeals are not got up in slow measured tones, but burst upon us with all the force and fiery eloquence of the true orator; and his reasonings are sound in every part. To him who desires to be a man, and not a milksop, we tender our advice to consult ‘Self-made Men.’”—_Peterhead Sentinel._ “There is earnestness, right principle, and good sense in what Mr. Anderson has written.”—_British Quarterly._ --------------------- _KINGS OF SOCIETY; or, Leaders of Social_, Intellectual, and Religious Progress.
