A History of the Christian Church from the Seventh Century to the Reformation. By the Rev. CHARLES HARDWICK, M.A., Fellow of St Catharine's Hall, and late Cambridge Preacher at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall, Author of "A History of the XXXIX Articles." With Four Maps constructed for this Work by A. Keith Johnston. Crown 8vo. cloth, 10s. 6d.

"Of the history of the Medieval Church this is a concise and complete Manual. With all the chief authorities, Catholic as well as Protestant, Mr HARDWICK shews himself familiar, and he has diligently collected and judiciously used his abundant materials. The book throughout bears mark of much learned research, and it is written in a strain of candour and moderation."-LITERARY GAZETTE, October 1, 1853.

"This forms one of a series of Theological Manuals which Messrs MACMILLAN, Cambridge, have in course of publication. If the other volumes of the series are as well and carefully written as this, theological students will have good cause to thank them."CLERICAL JOURNAL, Sept. 22, 1853.

"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, October, 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, September 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 acknowledgement of authorities which procured for Mr HARDWICK'S History of the Articles of Religion' such a favourable reception."NOTES AND QUERIES, October 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, November 30, 1853.
