WORKS BY THE REV. C. J. VAUGHAN, D.D.

Third Edition.

WORDS OF HOPE FROM THE PULPIT OF THE TEMPLE CHURCH. Crown 8vo. Price 5s.

"Able, lucid, and thoroughly practical."Standard.

"Suffice it to say that they sustain the characteristics of Dr. Vaughan's other writings, and possess an attractiveness which is generally only to be derived from a telling delivery, and consequently is rarely looked for in sermons only read."-John Bull.

"Quiet, scholarly, ingenious, natural, spiritual, evangelical, and earnest. The charm of their pleasantness and goodness does not weary. They are the natural products of a cultured, industrious, vigorous mind."-British Quarterly Review.

"Thorough simplicity, devoutness, and sincerity of Christian purpose, are apparent in all his pulpit utterances."-London Quarterly Review.

WORKS BY THE REV. G. S. DREW, M.A.
VICAR OF TRINITY, LAMBETH,

Second Edition.
SCRIPTURE LANDS IN CONNECTION
WITH THEIR HISTORY. Bevelled
Boards, 8vo. Price 10s. 6d.

"Mr. Drew has invented a new method of illustrating Scripture history-from observation of the countries. Instead of narrating his travels, and referring from time to time to the facts of sacred history belonging to the different countries, he writes an outline history of the Hebrew nation from Abraham downwards, with special reference to the various points in which the geography illustrates the history. . . . He is very successful in picturing to his readers the scenes before his own mind."-Saturday Review.

Second Edition.

NAZARETH: ITS LIFE AND LES-
SONS. Crown 8vo, 5s.

"We have read the volume with great interest. It is at once succinct and suggestive, reverent and ingenious, observant of small details, and yet not forgetful of great principles."-British Quarterly Review.

"A very reverent attempt to elicit and develop Scripture intimations respecting our Lord's thirty years' sojourn at Nazareth. The author has wrought well at the unworked mine, and has produced a very valuable series of Scripture lessons, which will be found both profitable and singularly interesting."-Guardian.

THE DIVINE KINGDOM ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. 8vo, Ios. 6d.

"Entirely valuable and satisfactory.

There is no living divine to whom the authorship would not be a credit."-Literary Churchman.

"Thoughtful and eloquent. .... Full of original thinking admirably expressed."-British Quarterly Review.

THEOLOGY IN THE ENGLISH
POETS.-COWPER, COLERIDge, Words-
WORTH, and BURNS. Post 8vo. 95.

"Apart from its literary merits, the book may be said to possess an independent value, as tending to familiarise a certain section of the English public with more enlightened views of theology."-Athenæum.

"The volume is scholarlike, and evidently the result of study and discrimination."-Hour.

An admirable example of interpretative criticism. It is clear, adequate, eloquent, and there are many such morsels of thought scattered throughout the book. We have read Mr. Brooke's volume with pleasure-it is fresh, suggestive, stimulating, and we cordially recommend it."Nonconformist.

FOR SCEPTRE AND CROWN. A Romance of the Present Time. By Gregor Samarov. Translated by Fanny Wormald. 2 vols. Cr. 8vo, 155. This is the celebrated "Am Zepterund Kronen," which was published about a year ago in Germany, when it created a very great sensation among all classes.
