=A Handbook of Church History.=
=From the Apostolic Era to the Dawn of the Reformation.=
By SAMUEL G. GREEN, D.D.
Author of ‘A Handbook of Old Testament Hebrew,’ etc.
With Full Dates, Chronological Tables, and Index.
640 pages. 6s. net.
For the purposes of the student it will be found simple
in arrangement, lucid in style, and entirely without
bias; while careful chronological and other tables will
facilitate its use as a text-book. At the same time the
history is eminently adapted for the general reader, who
will find a subject, which is often rendered for him
unapproachable by the dry and technical method of its
treatment, dealt with in a style at once popular and
exact.
‘It is a capable and lucid narrative, which seems to
succeed in treating a history which covers 14-1/2
centuries in not too sketchy a manner, and which is not
intent in establishing any partizan doctrine.’—_The
Times._
‘It is an interesting synoptic view of the history of the
Western Church.’—_The Daily News._
‘It gives an able and interesting presentation of a
subject which has often been made repellant by the manner
in which it was treated.’—_The Scotsman._
‘It is a marvel of cheapness.’—_The Glasgow Herald._

=His Sorrows and his Emancipation.=
By WILLIAM STEVENS,
Some time Editor of _The Leisure Hour_.
With Portraits and with Six Illustrations by J. FINNEMORE, R.A.
Large Crown 8vo. Cloth gilt. 6s.
_In this work Mr. Stevens presents a vivid picture of
the life and circumstances of the slave in all ages and
lands._ The influence of Christianity on the slave life,
and the steps by which Christian nations successfully
shook themselves free from complicity in slave-holding
are carefully detailed; whilst the chief workers in
the great emancipation movements of modern times are
in turn brought before the reader’s attention. _The
volume furnishes at once the most comprehensive and the
most up-to-date survey of the slavery question._ The
illustrations include some vivid pictures of slave-life,
and incidents in the emancipation movement.
