The Coming Race.

Sixth Edition, crown 8vo, 6s.

"Language, literature, and the arts, all touched on with admirable verisimilitude, are impressed into the service of his thesis; and often, in reading of the delights of this underground Utopia, have we sighed for the refreshing tranquillity of that lamp-lit land."-Athenæum.

"Its kindly satire, its gentle moralisings, its healthy humour, and its extensive knowledge well applied, combine to separate it from the mass of ephemeral publications, and give evidence of literary skill very rarely to be met with in books written for the circulating libraries."-Examiner.

"The book is well written, and ingeniously worked out."—Saturday Review.

Venus and Psyche,

WITH OTHER POEMS. By Richard Crawley. Fcap. 8vo, 5s.

"Mr Crawley writes verses through which there runs an abundant vein of genuine poetry. Much, very much, of Mr Crawley's poetry is perfectly original-the creation of his own fancy-which is eminently near akin to the vision and the faculty divine, and is equally powerful in painting scenes of terror and tenderness. His minor poems are most of them beautiful, and some of them exquisite pieces of piercing satire."-Evening Standard.

The Genesis of the Church.

"

By the Right Rev. Henry Cotterill, D.D., Bishop of Edinburgh. Demy 8vo, 16s.

The book is strikingly original, and this originality is one of its great charms-the views of an able and cultivated man whom long study has made fully master of his subject."-Scottish Guardian.

In Dr Cotterill's volume a book of great ability has been presented to the world."-Edinburgh Courant.

His book breathes the spirit and is stamped with the character of the present age. It requires, and will amply repay, the most careful and attentive reading; and it is likely to carry conviction to many a mind which has been merely repelled by the ordinary quoting of texts or appeals to Church History to prove the existence of the three Orders, and the necessity of the apostolical succession."-Literary Churchman.

Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women,

AND OTHER THINGS IN GENERAL. 3 vols. crown 8vo, 10s. 6d. each.

"The flashes of the author's wit must not blind us to the ripeness of his wisdom, nor the general playfulness of his O'Dowderies allow us to forget the ample evidence that underneath them lurks one of the most earnest and observant spirits of the present time."-Daily Review.

The Fatherhood of God:

Considered in its General and Special Aspects, and particularly in relation to the Atonement; with a Review of Recent Speculations on the Subject. By Thomas J. Crawford, D.D. Third Edition, revised and enlarged, with a Reply to the Strictures of Dr Candlish. 9s.

"The plan of this work is comprehensive and yet definite. It embodies much original thought, and the author's habits of searching inquiry and careful arrangement stand him in good stead. Whatever difference of opinion there may be on sundry topics, it would be idle to question the great ability shown by the learned Professor. As the subjects treated of have been and are so much discussed, it will be satisfactory to many to receive a book which expounds so fully, and maintains so forcibly, and on a Scriptural basis, the views of one so well qualified to speak."—Journal of Sacred Literature.

The Doctrine of Holy Scripture respecting the

Atonement. By Thomas J. Crawford, D.D., Professor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh. 8vo, 12s.

"This addition to the latest contributions to the elucidation of the doctrine of the atonement must inevitably take a high rank among them. It collates and analyses the teachings, not only of the apostles, but of all Scriptural authors on the subject. The work is done in a critical, thorough, exhaustive manner, and gives us an exhaustive thesaurus of Scriptural doctrine on the subject."—Princeton Review.

Or, Ten Months' Residence in the United States. By Henry Deedes. Fcap. 8vo, 5s.

Japan;

Being a Sketch of the History, Government, and Officers of the Empire.
By Walter Dickson. 8vo, 15s.

"The entire work is not only pleasant and instructive reading, but one that ought to be read and re-read by all who wish to attain anything like a coherent idea of the real condition of Japan. Its value can hardly be overestimated."— London and China Express.

"Mr Dixon's work gives a general account of the History of Christianity in Japan more accurately than any preceding writer in the English language. His work is the most valuable one that has yet appeared."-Quarterly Review.

A Family Tour round the Coasts of Spain and

Portugal DURING THE WINTER OF 1860-61. By Lady Dunbar of Northfield. Post 8vo, 5s.

Seats and Saddles, Bits and Bitting,

AND THE PREVENTION AND CURE OF RESTIVENESS IN HORSES. By Francis Dwyer. A New and Enlarged Edition. Crown 8vo, with Engravings, 7s. 6d.

"Of Major Dwyer's book we can speak with much approbation. To those who are fond of the science of horsemanship, and who will give themselves time for some study of it, we know no work that comprehends so much good matter in so small a space."- Baily's Monthly Magazine.

The Sketcher.

By the Rev. John Eagles, A.M. Originally published in 'Blackwood's
Magazine.' 8vo, Ios. 6d.

"This volume, called by the appropriate name of 'The Sketcher,' is one that ought to be found in the studio of every English landscape-painter. More instructive and suggestive readings for voung artists, especially landscape-painters, can scarcely be found."- The Globe.

The Spanish Gypsy.

By George Eliot. Fourth Edition, crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.

"It is emphatically a great poem, great in conception, great in execution." -Blackwood's Magazine.

"She is a great writer, and in the 'Spanish Gypsy' she has achieved a great work."-Times.

"It is impossible, indeed, to speak too highly of the intellectual conception at the basis of the poem, and the finish and power with which it is worked out and adorned."-Spectator.

Wise, Witty, and Tender Sayings,

By

In Prose and Verse. Selected from the Works of George Eliot. Alexander Main. Handsomely printed on Toned Paper, bound in gilt cloth, 5s.

"But undoubtedly George Eliot is the only woman of our time whose writings would be remembered for their humour alone, or whose sayings, just now collected into a volume by themselves, are at all likely, like Shakespeare's sayings, to pass into the substance of the language."—Spectator.

"This little volume, which is everything that could be desired in the way of get-up, brings George Eliot's weightier thoughts and reflections, which lie scattered throughout her books, conveniently near; and busy readers may easily repair the results of inevitable haste by frequently devoting to it a spare half-hour. It is a book to have beside one, to be often taken up and laid aside again; for every page supplies food for meditation, and something, too, that is well calculated to be helpful in the conduct of life."-Nonconformist.

Engineer and Shipbuilder. By W. J. Macquorn Rankine, with Portrait. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.

Essays on Social Subjects.

Originally published in the 'Saturday Review.' A New Edition. First and Second Series. 2 vols., crown 8vo, 6s. each.

"Two remarkable volumes of occasional papers, far above the average of such miscellanies. They are the production of a keen and kindly observer of men and manners, and they display a subtle analysis of character, as well as a breadth of observation, which are remarkable. With much of occasional force, these Essays have sufficient solidity to make a book; and while they recall the wit of Montaigne and the playfulness of Addison, they are animated by a better moral tone, and cover a larger range of experience."-Christian Remembrancer.

Euchologion; or, Book of Prayers:

Being Forms of Worship issued by the Church Service Society. A New and Enlarged Edition, 6s. 6d.

"We know of no book which could be recommended as likely to be of greater use to the clergyman, especially to the young and inexperienced, than this second edition of 'Euchologion.""—Scotsman.

The Crown and its Advisers;

Or, Queen, Ministers, Lords, and Commons. By Alexander Charles Ewald, F.S.A. Crown 8vo, 5s.

"We may congratulate Mr Ewald on the possession of a popular style and a clear method. His observations on everything connected with the usages of Parliament are sound, and calculated to be very useful to the class of persons he is addressing. A commendable attempt to explain in simple and popular language the machinery of the English Government."Pall Mall Gazette.

"May be regarded in some respects as a Constitutional Manual."-Standard.

Institutes of Metaphysic:

The Theory of Knowing and Being. By James F. Ferrier, A.B. Oxon., Professor of Moral Philosophy and Political Economy, St Andrews. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 10s. 6d.

Lectures on the Early Greek Philosophy,

AND OTHER PHILOSOPHIC REMAINS OF PROFESSOR FERRIER OF ST ANDREWS. Edited by Sir Alexander Grant and Professor Lushington. 2 vols. post 8vo, 245.

"These lectures, in so far as they treat of Greek philosophy down to Plato, have been carefully elaborated, and are of much value-of higher value, indeed, than any writings on the same subject in the English language; and in point of clearness, depth, and resolute search after truth, and tenacious hold of it when found, we doubt if they are surpassed in any language. For

our part, we do not know any philosophical writings so fascinating to a young student of philosophy as these early pages."-Scotsman.
