"This story is well told, and is of the deepest interest. Not a
page will be regarded as dull or dry."--_Record._
"This book should be read by all who labour among the masses. It is
a story of trials and triumphs."--_Word and Work._
"Lord Shaftesbury has written a good introduction to a graphic
story."--_The Christian._
"Every chapter will be read with satisfaction."--_Rock._
"In this volume the writer displays a thorough knowledge of London,
its poor districts, docks, and river. A vast amount of information
is condensed in its pages, and the style is racy and
pleasing."--_City Press._
"The author speaks with authority. If any one is ignorant of the
strange material that is operated upon by the agency of the London
City Mission, and the wonderful transformation brought about by the
same means, he ought certainly to read 'Round the Tower.'"--_Sword

A THOUGHT FOR THE WORLD;
OR,
THE NARRATIVE OF CHRISTIAN EFFORT IN GREAT EXHIBITIONS.
_BY JOHN MATTHIAS WEYLLAND._
INTRODUCTION BY THE RT. HON. THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY, K.G.
* * * * *
"We are informed that the Queen has graciously accepted a copy of
Mr. Weylland's new work, 'A Thought for the World,' and that Lady
Gainsborough has received Her Majesty's command to thank him for
it. Lord Shaftesbury has written a gratifying Introduction to the
book.... We notice in the Author's Preface a clever genealogical
sketch of national and international exhibitions, commencing with
the first, which was presided over by King Ahasuerus.... Scenes of
brilliancy and beauty are described with graphic pen. We consider
this a most valuable and well-timed publication."--_Record._
"This is a most interesting volume. In its pages we are told in a
very pleasing way, from personal knowledge and authentic sources,
the story of Christian effort in the Great Exhibitions of London,
Paris, Vienna, and of Philadelphia. There are good
illustrations."--_The Christian._
