It is now about five years since the Prospectus of this Series was first issued. Four volumes have now been published, and several others are in an advanced state. The reception which the volumes already published have met with, has fully justified the anticipation with which the Publishers commenced the Series, and warrants them in the belief, that their aim of supplying books "concise, comprehensive, and accurate," "convenient for the professional Student and interesting to the general reader," has been not unsuccessfully fulfilled.

The following paragraphs appeared in the original Prospectus, and may be here conveniently reproduced:

"The Authors being Clergymen of the English Church, and the Series being designed primarily for the use of Candidates for office in her Ministry, the books will seek to be in accordance with her spirit and principles; and as the spirit and principles of the English Church teach charity and truth, so in treating of the opinions and principles of other communions, every effort will be made to avoid acrimony or misrepresentation.

"It will be the aim of the writers throughout the Series to avoid all dogmatic expression of doubtful or individual opinions."

THE FOLLOWING FOUR VOLUMES ARE NOW READY :

Crown 8vo. cloth, 12s. 6d.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"A work which forms one of the invaluable series of Theological Manuals now in course of publication at Cambridge." BRITISH AND FOREIGN EVANGELICAL REVIEW, July, 1856.

"The Author is one of those who are teaching us that it is possible to rifle the storehouses of German theology, without bearing away the taint of their atmosphere and to recognise the value of their accumulated treasures, and even track the vagaries of their theoretic ingenuity, without abandoning in the pursuit the clear sight and sound feeling of English common sense It is by far

r

the best and most complete book of the kind; and we should be glad to see it well placed on the lists of our examining chaplains."-GUARDIAN, Oct. 3, 1855.

Learned, dispassionate, discriminating, worthy of his subject and the present state of Christian Literature in relation to it."

BRITISH QUARTERLY, Oct. 3, 1855.

"To the student in Theology it will prove an admirable Text-Book: and to all others who have any curiosity on the subject it will be satisfactory as one of the most useful and instructive pieces of history which the records of the Church supply."-LONDON QUARTERLY, Oct. 1855.

"The Author carries into the execution of his design a careful and painstaking scholarship . Considered as a list of Testimonials in favour of the canonical writings, our Author's work deserves the praise of great diligence and manifest conscientiousness."-NATIONAL REVIEW, Oct. 1855.

..

If the rest of the series of manuals, of which the present volume forms a part, are as ably executed, the Christian public will be greatly indebted to the projectors of the plan."-LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

"There is nothing. so far as we know, resembling it in the English tongue... We have here presented to us a striking and luminous view of a very broad and comprehensive subject, marked throughout by rich and copious erudition. A volume which we consider a most valuable addition to the literature of Revelation. Scripture Expositors, of whatever name, will acknowledge that they have been laid under deep obligation by the work of MR. WESTCOTT." BRITISH BANNER, Jan. 4, 1856.

"The conception of the work, and the discrimination and learning with which it is executed, adapt it most thoroughly to the present state and forms of controv on the subject to which it relates."-NONCONFORMIST, Jan. 23, 1856.

2. A History of the Christian Church from the Seventh Century to the Reformation. By CHARLES HARDWICK, M.A., Fellow of St. Catharine's College, Divinity Lecturer of King's College, and Christian Advocate in the University of Cambridge, Author of "A History of the XXXIX Articles." With Four Maps constructed for this Work by A. Keith Johnston.

Crown 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"It is full in references and authority, systematic and formal in division, with enough of life in the style to counteract the dryness inseparable from its brevity. and exhibiting the results rather than the principles of investigation. MR. HARDWICK is to be congratulated on the successful achievement of a difficult task."-CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER, Oct. 1853.

"He has bestowed patient and extensive reading on the collection of his materials; he has selected them with judgment; and he presents them in an equable and compact style."-SPECTATOR, Sept. 17, 1853.

"This book is one of a promised series of "THEOLOGICAL MANUALS.' In one respect, it may be taken as a sign of the times. It is a small unpretending volume in appearance, but it is based on learning enough to have sufficed, half a century since, for the ground of two or three quartos, or at least for several portly octavos. For its purpose it is admirable, giving you a careful and intelligent summary of events, and at the same time indicating the best sources of information for the further guidance of the student. Among the authorities thus referred to, we find the most modern as well as the most ancient, the continental as well as the English."-BRITISH QUARTERLY, Nov. 1853.

"It is distinguished by the same diligent research and conscientious acknowledg ment of authorities which procured for MR. HARDWICK'S History of the Articles of Religion' such a favourable reception."

NOTES AND QUERIES, Oct. 8, 1853.

"To a good method and good materials MR. HARDWICK adds that great virtue, a perfectly transparent style. We did not expect to find great literary qualities in such a manual, but we have found them; we should be satisfied in this respect with conciseness and intelligibility; but while this book has both, it is also elegant, highly finished, and highly interesting."

NONCONFORMIST, Nov. 30, 1853.

"As a manual for the student of Ecclesiastical History in the Middle Ages, we know no English work which can be compared to MR. HARDWICK's book. It has two great merits, that it constantly refers the reader to the authorities, both original and critical, on which its statements are founded; and that it preserves a just proportion in dealing with various subjects."

GUARDIAN, April 12, 1854,

3. A History of the Christian Church during the Reformation. By CHARLES HARDWICK, M.A. Crown 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The whole volume displays a profusion of learning, great accuracy and honesty in collecting and collating authorities, a clear as well as a concise narrative of events; and it always refers to the authorities on which the history is grounded." CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCER, April, 1856.

"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 incid 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.

"It is impossible to speak too highly of the extensive and careful research the book everywhere manifests."-BAPTIST MAGAZINE, Aug. 1856.
