“Mr. Gardiner has given us a more complete and perfect account
of this interesting period of our history than any which has yet
appeared.”--_Observer._
MONSIEUR GUIZOT IN PRIVATE LIFE (1787–1874). By His Daughter,
Madame DE WITT. Translated by Mrs. SIMPSON. 1 vol. demy 8vo. 15s.
“Madame de Witt has done justice to her father’s memory in an admirable
record of his life. Mrs. Simpson’s translation of this singularly
interesting book is in accuracy and grace worthy of the original and of
the subject.”--_Saturday Review._
“This book was well worth translating. Mrs. Simpson has written
excellent English, while preserving the spirit of the French.”--_The
Times._
“We cannot but feel grateful for the picture that Mme. de Witt has
given us of her father in his home. It is a work for which no one can
be better qualified than a daughter who thoroughly understood and
sympathised with him.”--_Guardian._
“M. Guizot stands out in the pages of his daughter’s excellent
biography a distinct and life-like figure. He is made to speak to us
in his own person. The best part of the book consists of a number of
his letters, in which he freely unfolds his feelings and opinions,
and draws with unconscious boldness the outlines of his forcible and
striking character.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
WORDS OF HOPE AND COMFORT TO THOSE IN SORROW. Dedicated by
Permission to THE QUEEN. _Fourth Edition._ 1 vol. small 4to. 5s.
bound.
“These letters, the work of a pure and devout spirit, deserve to find
many readers. They are greatly superior to the average of what is
called religious literature.”--_Athenæum._
“The writer of the tenderly-conceived letters in this volume was Mrs.
Julius Hare, a sister of Mr. Maurice. They are instinct with the
devout submissiveness and fine sympathy which we associate with the
name of Maurice; but in her there is added a winningness of tact, and
sometimes, too, a directness of language, which we hardly find even in
the brother. The letters were privately printed and circulated, and
were found to be the source of much comfort, which they cannot fail to
afford now to a wide circle. A sweetly-conceived memorial poem, bearing
the well-known initials, ‘E. H. P.’, gives a very faithful outline of
the life.”--_British Quarterly Review._
“This touching and most comforting work is dedicated to THE
QUEEN, who took a gracious interest in its first appearance, when
printed for private circulation, and found comfort in its pages, and
has now commanded its publication, that the world in general may profit
by it. A more practical and heart-stirring appeal to the afflicted we
have never examined.”--_Standard._
“These letters are exceptionally graceful and touching, and may be read
with profit.”--_Graphic._
