Mr HARDWICK's Reformation Church History.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS-continued.

"Exhibits a deep comprehension and a firm grasp of his theme, with the ease and mastery in treatment which such qualities generally impart...... The utility of Mr HARDWICK'S work consists in bringing the greater and minor histories connected with the Reformation into a single volume of compact shape, as well as presenting their broad features to the student. The merit of the history consists in the penetration with which the opinions of the age, the traits of its remarkable men, and the intellectual character of the history are perceived, and the force with which they are presented."-SPECTATOR, March 15, 1856.

"A more satisfactory manual than England has hitherto produced. ...He has laboured learnedly and diligently, at first hand, among the sources and authorities for the ecclesiastical history of the period of which he writes; and has produced a work really original, as far as such a work can be; independent in its judgments; written with taste and feeling; and offering, in its large body of notes, aids and guidance to the fullest investigation the subject can possibly receive."NONCONFORMIST, April 16, 1856.

"His readers will find him a lively, a luminous, and interesting companion, as well as a generally trustworthy guide."-BRITISH BANNER, March 13, 1855.

"He enters fairly into the questions of which he speaks, and does not attempt to evade their difficulty by vague statements...... We cordially recommend this work to those who desire an orderly and lucid summary of the leading events of the Reformation...... We may also observe, that Mr Hardwick has availed himself of the latest German authorities."-LITERARY CHURCHMAN, May 3, 1856. "The style is lucid and the plan comprehensive. The facts are well arranged, and their relations ably brought out...... Will be esteemed by most students as judicious, helpful, and suggestive." EVANGELICAL REVIEW, May, 1856.

"He writes from genuine and independent sources. Though his work is short, it partakes in no respect of the character of a compilation."-THE PRESS, July 12, 1856.

is impossible to speak too highly of the extensive and careful research the book everywhere manifests."-BAPTist Magazine, Aug.

1856.

IV. A History of the Book of Common Prayer, together with a Rationale of the several Offices. By the Rev. FRANCIS PROCTER, M.A., Vicar of Witton, Norfolk, and late Fellow of St Catharine's College. Second Edition, Revised. Crown 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"Mr PROCTER'S 'History of the Book of Common Prayer' is by far the best commentary extant."-CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER. "It is a résumé of all that has been done in the way of investigation in reference to the Prayer-Book."-ATHENÆUM.

"We can have little doubt that Mr PROCTER'S History of our Liturgy will soon supersede the well-known work of Wheatley, and become a much-used hand-book beyond the circuits of the University for the more immediate use of which it has been produced."-NOTES AND QUERIES.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS-continued.

Although very decidedly anti-Roman in its tone, we gladly accept it as a substitute for the dull and dreary dogmatism of Wheatley. It presents in a popular and agreeable narrative, the history of those variations to which so much attention has been directed during the late eventful controversies; and while it contains a very careful, learned and scholarlike exposition of these changes, it also furnishes a most valuable commentary on the successive texts of the formularies themselves, as they are exhibited either in the original editions, or in the useful manuals of Bulley and Keeling."-DUBLIN REVIEW (Roman Catholic), April, 1855.

"Mr PROCTER has done a great service to the Church by this admirable digest."-CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUarterly.

"These valuable lessons may be carried to any part of London, of Great Britain,
of the world. Thousands of miles away from home, in scenes of war, privation
and disease, no less than when-justice preceding charity-she rules over her
own household, woman may be the better for many of the words uttered last
July in the unfashionable little square in which the Working Men's College is
established. A glance at the subjects treated of, and a bare enumeration of
the names of the gentlemen who delivered the lectures, should be enough to
ensure careful attention to them. These men, themselves an honour to
their times, do honour to women by giving her the benefit of the best thoughts
of manly minds."-EDINBURGH REVIEW, Jan. 1856.

"We recommend the book most heartily to all our readers, and especially ladies."-
