Mr. Sharpe, by a care and industry extending over thirty years, has

now produced a Translation of the New Testament the Greek, which, for its faithfulness and purity, may possibly never be excelled, and has the commendation of the scholars and critics of nearly all Churches. He has freed the English New Testament from more than one thousand mistranslations and confused and unintelligible renderings. The English Churchman, and also the Ecclesiastic, speak of Mr. Sharpe's translation as "the most correct English version in existence, The either of the whole or any portion of the New Testament."

་་

Athenæum. To the reading public themselves our advice is to get 'The Bane of a Life,' and read it. There is a freshness about the book which will delight all but the jaded seekers of sensation.....Such a book is not without its absorbing interest. It does not thrill us, but it charms and satisfies us. It succeeds in giving us a living human interest in the humble people to whom it introduces us; it tells us more than we knew before of their trials and temptations, their joys and triumphs; it makes us feel that love and ambition are the same in every sphere, and human nature in all classes is human nature still; and as to do this was the author's object, we may assure him that he has fully succeeded in it."— Observer.

HIGHER LAW: a Romance. By the

Author of The Pilgrim and the Shrine.' 3 vols.

From the Westminster Review, July, 1870.

"That same purity of style, earnestness of tone; that same depth philosophic reflection, which marked The Pilgrim and the Shine' may all be found rendered still more attractive by the beauty of the story in the present work." There is no novel, in short, which can be compared to it for its width of view, its cultivation, its poetry, and its deep human interest, except 'Romola.""

[ocr errors][merged small]
[blocks in formation]

"There can be no doubt that it was desirable to publish, and so to place on record, the letters which fill these two handsome volumes. They extend over many and eventful years; they passed between persons of high and honourable position in politics and society, who in their day were some of them actors and some of them behind the scenes of the greatest historical drama ever played-a drama wherein Presidents, Consuls, Kings, and Emperors move across the stage: wherein Congresses, National Assemblies, and Parliaments sway the action, and real mobs and real armies throng the back scenes. Its first act was the American Rebellion, its tremendous fifth was the Hundred Days; and no one to the end of the world will reproach it with lack of interest or incident."

From the Athenæum.

"The volumes begin to martial music; Alexander's Feast' is occupying London, and the Pretender's pibrochs are stirring the hearts in the Highlands. We see Handel sitting, dejected, wan, and dark, listening to his own music,' and no one heeding him either then or subsequently. The details here given of the '45 affair contain numerous touches of character that are both novel and amusing....It is not only in details of important public events these volumes are rich; they are still richer in illustrations of life generally, and of the manners of women in particular. Prudes, hu-sies of audacious stamp, and 'gentlewomen sweep across the stage in brilliant groups that dazzle and fasciuate as they pass.... We heartily congratulate the public on their possession of such a record of the history, triumphs, sorrows, wisdom, folly, fear, gossip, and scandal that delighted or exasperated our ancestors during three-quarters of a century."

From the Pall Mall Gazette.

"The letters in these volumes passed between the first Earl of Malmesbury and his family and various celebrated friends; Mr. Pitt, Lord Grenville, Mr. Canning, and Lord Palmerston, who was his ward, being among the number. The most interesting of all, however, are those written by his mother: for this reason, that they are brimful of amusing gossip, and illustrate the manners of the day with great piquancy. There are also the letters of an officer of the Guards, who served all through the Peninsula, took part in the defence of Hougemont, and writes with a clearness and vivacity that give new interest even to the oldest themes. The ladies, however, bear off the palm in this correspondence; and two of them, Lady Shaftesbury and Mrs. Harris, write with a healthy freedom, which is only to be paralleled in the correspondence of Queen Caroline's Maids of Honour. A very diverting account of an abortive wedding-party is given by Mrs. Harris, Lord Malmesbury's mother, in 1874. Our readers will probably agree with us that all this kind of thing is infinitely more amusing than the doings of much greater people."

From the Saturday Review.

"The interesting and valuable correspondence of a family which for two or three generations combined personal merit with good fortune. The letters extend over a period of seventy-six years, and are of the most varied character, including abundant gossip mellowed by time, a few important political documents, and an extremely-interesting series of letters, written during active service and during the Waterloo campaign by the present General Sir G. Bowles. The first public event recorded in the volumes is the Rebellion of 1745; and it closes with the Thistlewood conspiracy and the trial of Queen Caroline."

Mr. Dixon brings before the eyes of his countrymen a picture of Russia, its scenery and its people, which is so novel and interesting that it can scarcely fail to arrest their attention."-Saturday Review.

"We claim for Mr. Dixon the merit of having treated his subject in a fresh and original manner. He has done his best to see with his own eyes the vast country which he describes, and he has been able to lay before general readers such a picture of Russia and the Russian people as cannot fail to interest them."-Athenaum.
