OPINIONS.

"Mr. Masson has succeeded in producing a series of criticisms in relation to
creative literature, which are satisfactory as well as subtile, which are not only
ingenious, but which possess the rarer recommendation of being usually just
But we pass over these Essays to that which is in the main a new, and, according
to our judgment, an excellent biographical sketch of Chatterton... This' Story
of the Year 1770,' as Mr. Masson entitles it, stands for nearly 200 pages in his
volume, and contains, by preference, the fruits of his judgment and research in
an elaborated and discursive memoir. . . Its merit consists in the illustration
afforded by Mr. Masson's inquiries into contemporary circumstances, and the
clear traces thus obtained of Chatterton's London life and experience. .
Mr. Masson unravels this mystery very completely.”—Ï'IMES.

"No one who reads a single page of Mr. Masson will be likely to content himself
with that alone. He will see at a glance that he has come across a man endowed
with a real love of poetry; a clear, fresh, happy insight into the poet's heart;
and a great knowledge of the historical connexion of its more marked epochs in
England. He has distinct and pleasant thoughts to utter; he is not above doing
his very best to utter them well; there is nothing slovenly or clumsy or untidy
in their expression; they leap along in a bright stream, bubbling, sparkling, and
transparent."-THE GUARDIAN.

"Worthy of being ranked among the very foremost of their class.
The longest
and finest composition of the work-a gem in literary biography-is its' Chat-
terton, a Story of the Year 1770.' This singularly interesting and powerful
biography fills up this sad outline as it never was filled up before."

EDINBURGH WITNESS (edited by Hugh Miller).

"His life of Chatterton is a complete, symmetrical and marvellous work of art . . . a classical biography."-THE GLASGOW COMMONWEALTH.

"Will secure both attention and respect."-EXAMINER.

Very admirable criticisms, which show not only a thorough acquaintance with the works he criticises, but a deep sense of poetic beauty."-DAILY NEWS. "We know not where to find a larger amount of discriminating, far-seeing, and genial criticism within the same compass."-BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW. "Here is a biography (the essay on Chatterton) told without exaggeration, without unwarranted use of hypothetic incidents, yet surpassing the most highly-wrought fiction in its power over our emotions."

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW. "Not only a series of biographical studies, but in some sort a philosophical history of English poetry from Shakspeare to Alexander Smith."-THE LEADER. "Distinguished by a remarkable power of analysis, a clear statement of the actual facts on which speculation is based, and an appropriate beauty of language. These Essays should be popular with serious men."—THE ATHENÆUM.

MANUALS FOR THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS,

Uniformly Printed and Bound,

NOW IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION.

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.

[ocr errors]

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.

[ocr errors]

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:
