CHRONICLES OF CARLINGFORD: SALEM CHAPEL.

Second Edition. Complete in 1 vol., price 5s.

"This story, so fresh, so powerfully written, and so tragic, stands out from among its fellows like a piece of newly-coined gold in a handful of dim commonplace shillings. Tales of pastoral experience and scenes from clerical life we have had in plenty, but the sacred things of the conventicle, the relative posi tion of pastor and flock in a Nonconforming connection,' were but guessed at by the world outside, and terrible is the revelation."-Westminster Review.

By JOHN HILL BURTON. New Edition. In crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.
