THE ENGLISH GENTLEMAN: his Principles, his Feelings, his Manners, his
Pursuits.
"We like him so well as to wish heartily we might meet many
such."--_Theologian_.
"The object of the first of the four essays is to form the
principles of a gentleman on a Christian standard. In the
other three subjects, of feelings, manners, and pursuits,
the views, though strict, are of a more worldly
kind."--_Spectator_.
GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.

LYRA MEMORIALIS: Original Epitaphs and Churchyard Thoughts. In Verse.
By JOSEPH SNOW. With an Essay, by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. Reprinted by his
permission. A new Edition, remodelled and enlarged.
"The object of Mr. Snow in the volume before us is to suggest
a purer taste and a more impressive style in our churchyard
memorials, and by every word and thought to point through the
shadow of the tomb to the brightness and light beyond it. His
work is, in truth, a treasury of feeling, and we find in its
simplicity its highest merit. To the clergy this volume may be
of signal use."--_Theologian_.
"This is truly a book of the affections; there is scarcely
a page which will not touch tenderly a chord in the heart of
every reader."--_Church of England Quarterly_.
GEORGE BELL, 186. Fleet Street.
