'Favourably as Mr. Woodcock is already known by his previous
writings, the present work will, we are persuaded, add to his
reputation and increase his usefulness. The substance of the work
is rich and precious almost beyond praise, and its literary
workmanship bears unmistakable evidence of industry, intelligence,
and judgment. Its multitudinous facts, drawn from a variety of
sources, are skilfully marshalled, are narrated in a lively and
agreeable style, and the spirit with which it is animated is deeply
religious. It is an exceptionally excellent book, as full of
interest as a novel, and yet as religious as a liturgy. People of
all ages and conditions will find in its pages a mass of pleasant,
instructive, and wholesome reading, fitted in an eminent degree to
promote their spiritual growth, and to nourish in their hearts an
interest in revivals of evangelical religion.'--Introductory note
by the Rev. C. C. M'Kechnie, Connexional Editor.
'Facts stranger than Fiction stud the pages of this volume, and
shed light upon the various ways in which God is pleased to draw
men to himself. The work is written in a clear felicitous style,
and affords about as agreeable readings as anyone can desire, while
its rich illustration and forcible presentation of Gospel truth,
cannot fail but prove a blessing. It is in fact, as full of
interest as a novel, and yet as religious as a
liturgy.'--_Christian Ambassador._

Notices and Recommendations.
'This book is decidedly the best thing of the sort that has yet
appeared. Its range is comprehensive of the whole of the mighty
subject, and it is literally crammed with fact and argument. Every
section is a species of moral demonstration. We defy Cardinal
Wiseman and all his cardinals, archbishops and bishops, and clergy
to boot, to refute this volume. In 350 pages we have a species of
encyclopaedia. We know of no human hand from which Popery has
received a more powerful, death-dealing blow. Would that a copy of
this well crammed and very cheap volume might find a place in every
British household.'--Rev. J. Campbell, D.D., in the _British
Standard_.
