Short Lives of Great Men.

By W. F. BURNSIDE and A. S. OWEN, Assistant Masters at Cheltenham College. About 300 pages. Illustrated. Crown 8vo., 3s. 6d.

The lives are illustrative of greatness in Church and State and representative departments of English Life. Attention has been paid more to the salient points of life and character of each man in relation to his age than to too much biographical detail. There are forty-four lives in all.

The Romance of Empire. By PHILIP GIBBS, Author of "Knowledge is Power," etc. Illustrated. xvi +478 pages. Crown 8vo., 6s.

A Short History of English Commerce and Industry, from the Earliest Times to the Reign of Queen Victoria. By L. L. R. PRICE, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, Author of "A Short History of Political Economy," etc. xii+252 pages. Crown 8vo., 3s. 6d. Guardian.-"The merits of the book are considerable, and deserve to be enumerated; they are great lucidity and exactitude of statement; a careful sifting of evidence and comparison of conflicting views: skilful and clear grouping and arrangement of epochs and events. Such merits cannot fail-as indeed they have not failed in the present case-to produce a telling and satisfactory history."

English Political Philosophy. An Exposition and Criticism of the Systems of Hobbes, Locke, Burke, Bentham, Mill and Maine. For the use of University and College Students. By WILLIAM GRAHAM, M.A., Professor of Jurisprudence and Political Economy at Queen's College, Belfast. Large crown 8vo., cloth, 10s. 6d. net.

Athenæum.-"Professor Graham has undertaken a task of great utility, and has performed it adequately and attractively. He has not merely made a serviceable contribution to the history of political ideas; he has made an original contribution to political literature."

SCRIPTURE HISTORY.

Lessons in Old Testament History. By the Venerable A. S. AGLEN, Archdeacon of St. Andrews, formerly Assistant Master at Marlborough College. 450 pages, with Maps. Crown 8vo., cloth, 4s. 6d.

An entirely new Text-Book of Old Testament History, so arranged that it may be used together with the Bible, or as a manual by itself. A reference at the head of each lesson directs attention to the chapters of the Bible which are covered by its contents, and may be most profitably read in connection with it.

The Bishop of Winchester writes: "I am struck with the combination of courage, reverence, and ability which Archdeacon Aglen has shown in carrying out the principles laid down in his Preface."

The Bishop of Llandaff writes: "I consider the work a very valuable one, and likely to be extremely useful to all students of the Holy Scriptures."

Biblical History of the Hebrews. Upon the lines of the Higher Criticism. By the Rev. F. J. FOAKES JACKSON, Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and Honorary Canon of Peterborough. Crown 8vo., 6s. Athenæum.-"This book represents a restatement of Old Testament history as read in the light thrown upon it by archæological discoveries and modern critical analysis. At the same time it rests throughout on a thoroughly conservative Christian bases. The result is a praiseworthy piece of work, at once invigorating and safe."

Old Testament History for Schools. By the Rev. T. C. FRY, Headmaster of Berkhamsted School. Crown 8vo., cloth, 2s. 6d.

W. Emery Barnes, D.D., Hulsean Professor of Divinity, Cambridge, writes: "Such a book was very much needed, and Dr. Fry has put a very valuable instrument into the hands of a good teacher. I think it will make the teaching of the Bible very much easier for thoughtful men who have too little time for shaping their own thoughts for the Scripture hour in class."

Jerusalem under the High Priests. Five Lectures on the Period between Nehemiah and the New Testament. By EDWYN BEVAN, Author of "The House of Seleucus." Demy 8vo., 7s. 6d.
