The palace of fantasy : $b or, the bard's imagery; with other poems
Hardy, John Stockdale
English poetry -- 19th century
“Universally and cordially do we recommend this delightful volume.
We believe no person could read this work and not be the better for
its pious and touching lessons. It is a page taken from the book of
life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent
pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning, ‘Remember
thy Creator in the days of thy youth.’ We have not for some time
seen a work we could so deservedly praise, or so conscientiously
recommend.”--LITERARY GAZETTE.
The Second Edition, enlarged. Foolscap 8vo., Price 6s. cloth.
THE RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF MAN,
In which Religion and Superstition are traced from their Source.
By D. MORISON.
How much the contents of this volume call for the careful investigation
of every one in search of Truth, will appear from the following opinions
selected from many.
“The intention of this book is not less admirable than the manner
in which it is written. It is most instructive, and the tone of its
contents is in the highest degree pious, without the least tinge of
puritanism. The information it gives on the most difficult points
of biblical reading render it a valuable book to all who desire
true knowledge.”--AGE.
“Curious, industrious, and learned, and well worthy the attention
of the public.”--LITERARY GAZETTE.
“The plan of this book was both extensive and important--embracing
an inquiry into the nature of Revelation, and its influence on the
opinions and customs of mankind;” BUT “the writer uses _Scripture_
as an interpreter,” and “sticks to the literal text of the six
days.”--SPECTATOR.
