Shorter, Clement King
English literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism
_The Methodist Times_ says--
"Deas Cromarty ... comes in a good second to these great writers (Barrie
and Maclaren). _There is the freshness of the mountain breezes about the
book which gives zest to the reading of it._"
_The Manchester Courier_ says--
_"Those who pick up the book will find difficulty in laying it down
before the last page is reached."_
_The Methodist Recorder_ says--
"One of the most charming stories of the season.... _This is as truly an
'Idyll' as anything Tennyson ever wrote._"
NEW BOOK BY CUTCLIFFE HYNE.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt, 6s._
The 'Paradise' Coal Boat
By Cutcliffe Hyne, Author of "The Recipe for Diamonds," &c.
"In Mr Cutcliffe Hyne our great Anglo-Indian romancer (Rudyard Kipling)
seems to have found a worthy comrade.... Grim and powerful tales....
Alike from a literary and political point of view Mr Cutcliffe Hyne has,
in his latest volume, deserved well of the commonwealth."--_The Star._
"Mr Hyne knows the sea, and the seamy side of sea life. He also knows
the West Coast of Africa, and whether we are voyaging with him in a
tramp steamer between London and Shields, or off the Lagos Coast, we
feel that we are somehow in the proper atmosphere. Constructively his
stories are always excellent."--_The Scotsman._
A NEW VOLUME OF SERMONS.
_Just Published, crown 8vo, buckram, 3s. 6d._
The Sorrow of God
And Other Sermons
By Rev. John Oates.
"For the contents of 'The Sorrow of God' we have nothing but praise, and
we could wish for nothing more than that the book might be widely
circulated. Spiritual insight, large culture, with its consequent
breadth of sympathy and eloquent expression, are the distinguishing
features of what is, without exaggeration, a collection of notable
sermons.... Those of our readers who value a fresh utterance on the
great problems of religion will lose no time in getting acquainted with
a book we have been able to notice all too briefly."--_The Sunday School
Chronicle._
"There are many noble utterances in these sermons.... It is because the
author helps us to feel purer and better that we so heartily commend his
book."--_The New Age._
FOURTH EDITION. _Long 8vo, cloth, 1s._
Manners for Men
By Madge of "Truth"
(Mrs Humphry.)
"Always in most excellent taste as well as astonishingly complete.
Certainly the world would be a very much pleasanter place to live in if
all men did read and practise her admirable precepts."--_Saturday
Review._
"It is a charmingly-written code of true manners."--_Leeds Mercury._
"Very welcome will be this little book, written sensibly and
brightly."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Mrs Humphry's book will be worth more than its weight in gold....
Excellent, robust common sense, tempered by genuine goodness of heart,
is a characteristic of everything she writes."--_The Queen._
"A very dainty and instructive epitome of all that we ought to be.... To
a shy young man this tactful volume should be invaluable."--_To-Day._
NEW BOOK BY MRS HUMPHRY.
