CLAUDE THE COLPORTEUR.
WITH A COLOURED FRONTISPIECE, AFTER WARREN.
Uniform with "MADAME PALISSY."
"_A Sower went forth to sow._"
"The hero of the narrative is, in plain English, a Bible hawker
among Roman Catholics chiefly; and his difficulties, ill-treatment,
conversations, and beneficial influence form the staple of the
Book--his character is well drawn."--_English Churchman._
"The volume is one of no ordinary merit; for it throws intense interest
around common occurrences and common characters; and presents, not only
a vivid series of pictures, but a well-sustained tale."--_Church and
State Gazette._
Second Edition, price 7_s._ 6_d._ post 8vo. cloth,
THE
PROVOCATIONS OF MADAME PALISSY.
With COLOURED FRONTISPIECE by WARREN.
"One of the most graceful of stories gracefully told; something to
touch the heart, to call up a quiet smile, and to summon a tear even
into manly eyes. We do not remember ever having met with a book at once
so natural, so clever, and so emphatically 'delicious.'"--_Church and
State Gazette._
"It is a long time since we have met with a book of such truly
excellent characteristics as are apparent in every page of this
volume."--_Bell's Messenger._
"On the basis of the true history of Palissy, the writer has framed
the present work; has given a very spirited sketch of his labours; has
exhibited the extravagancies, amounting to crimes, of a man of genius
driving on in the pursuit of his darling object; and has depicted, as
the title promises, with a good deal of power, the plagues of a wife
who has such a husband."--_Christian Observer._
"There is a sweet, pure, and healthful flavour of the book, especially
in those portions which inculcate that glorious axiom, 'Hope on, hope
always,' without which nothing great was ever achieved."--_Morning
Advertiser._
"Many little traits of family and village life are infused into the
story, which give variety and _vraisemblance_."--_Spectator._
"Avowedly the creations of fiction--but of fiction pleasing itself
with supplying a gap in the records of truth. In this work of art the
author has shown considerable skill ... having produced out of slight
materials a pretty little book; its brevity is, in our eyes, its
principal fault."--_Guardian._
In fcp. cloth, price 3_s._ 6_d._
THE CHRONICLES
OF
MERRY ENGLAND,
_Rehearsed unto her People_.
"We have here the records of old, from which the aged reader may
learn as much, and with which he may be as much amused, as the young
students who will welcome the story-teller and be grateful for the
tale."--_Church and State Gazette._
"The work bids fair to become a great favourite with the young in
schools and families."--_British Quarterly._
