The Scottish Parliament Before the Union of the Crowns
Rait, Robert S. (Robert Sangster)
Scotland. Parliament -- History
"Anyone in search of a brief and rapid survey of British Colonial
History will find in this compact volume exactly what he wants....
The little book is written with knowledge and discrimination,
and is saved from being a mere catalogue by happy touches of
generalization, which tell the reader where he stands in regard to
the whole subject of colonization."--Outlook.
The Anglican Revival. By Rev. J. H. OVERTON, D.D., Rector of
Epworth and Canon of Lincoln.
"The Anglican Revival is a model of what such a book ought to
be.... It bears on every page the distinction, undefinable but
unmistakable, of being written by a man who knows thoroughly well
what he is talking about."--Guardian.
The Rise of Democracy. By J. HOLLAND ROSE, M.A.
"In dealing with his subject Mr. Rose displays considerable
independence of thought, joined to accuracy of detail and
clearness of exposition. His style, too, is vigorous; and on the
whole he has made a good start for what promises to be a useful
and instructive series."--Glasgow Herald.
English National Education. By H. HOLMAN, M.A., formerly
Professor of Education in University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.
"Public opinion seems to be slowly awakening to the importance of
education. A book like this should assist the process by its clear
account of previous failures and shortcomings, and its grasp of
true principles."--Times.
Victorian Novelists. By JAMES OLIPHANT, M.A.
"This little work is one of the most thoughtful literary studies
that we have read for some time."--Aberdeen Free Press.
British Foreign Missions. By the Rev. WARDLAW THOMPSON and the
Rev. A. N. JOHNSON, M.A.
"The book gives a careful and admirable account of the growth and
progress of British Foreign Missions during sixty years of the
Queen's reign."--Literary World.
The Earl of Beaconsfield. By HAROLD E. GORST.
"Mr. Gorst's interesting little volume will be especially welcome
as forming a faithful record of the career of a great statesman,
and, above all, a great Imperialist."--Telegraph.

_NEW EDITION. CAREFULLY REVISED AND GREATLY AUGMENTED_
By CHARLES ANNANDALE, M.A., LL.D.
"The IMPERIAL DICTIONARY is a work which fairly deserves the
epithet of monumental. It is really what it professes to be--'a
complete encyclopædic lexicon, literary, scientific, and
technological'. In other words it is the best dictionary of its
kind in the English language, and its kind is the best."--St.
James's Gazette.
