By JAMES PAYN. Fcap. 8vo. cloth, 5s.

Lord Bacon and Sir Walter Raleigh:

Just published.

Critical and Biographical Essays. By MACVEY NAPIER,
Esq., late Editor of the Edinburgh Review and of the Encyclo-
pædia Britannica.
Post 8vo. cloth, 7s. 6d.

"Both Essays exhibit a very remarkable combination of judgment and pains-
taking research......The Essay on Raleigh is likely to be more interesting
to the majority of readers, and is perhaps the most discriminating sketch
of its subject to be met with."—ATHÆNEUM ̧

"The Essay on Bacon fills up an important chapter in the history of Phi-
losophy.........The Essay on Raleigh is by far the best life of that remark-
able man that has hitherto been published."-THE ECONOMIST.
"Profoundly interesting."-GLASGOW GAZETTE.

"Very interesting and trustworthy."-ATLAS.

"The Essay on Bacon throughout displays a very extensive philosophical reading, and is quite conclusive. The Essay on Sir Walter Raleigh is, however, the more important in a literary point of view, and one possessed of great interest for all readers. It brings together all the reliable information furnished by the printed authorities; and adds thereto the special merit of introducing facts previously unknown, from unpublished MSS., which Mr. Napier brought to light."

NONCONFORMIST, June 1, 1853.

"No statesman, no politician, no student of history, can fail to derive instruction from this volume."-SPECTATOR, Jan. 22.

SCOTTISH ECCLESIASTICAL JOURNAL. "Evince not merely undiminished but increased intellectual power. The tone is practical and healthy."-ENGLISH REVIEW, April 1853.

"Has already stamped its impress deeply on the public mind, and promises to raise its author to a higher position than ever as a leader of modern thought."-BRITISH & FOREIGN EVANGELICAL REVIEW, June 1853.

"A volume that will take rank with the best of its class, and that will worthily occupy a place side by side with the Sermons of Horsley and Butler."-BRITISH BANNER, June 15, 1853.

feature of this edition, are useful and appropriate. The superior ty-
pography of the work we must not omit to notice; and altogether it is

"Mr. Maurice is aiming at a high object. He would reconcile the old and the new. He would disencumber what is popular of what is vulgar, confused, sectarian, and preserve and illustrate it by disencumbering it. He calls on us not to be afraid of the depths and heights, the freedom and largeness, the 'spirit and the truth' of our own theology. It is a warning and a call which every age wants. We sympathize with his aim, with much of his positive teaching, with some of his aversions and some of his fears. We do not respect him the less for not being afraid of being called hard names. But certainly such a writer has need, in no common degree, of conforming himself to that wise maxim which holds in writing as well as in art, 'Know what you want to do, then do it.'"-GUARDIAN. "Throughout these Essays runs a large-hearted, truthful, and earnest spirit, which provokes a similar warmth of feeling in the reader. Their candour and straightforwardness, the anxiety evinced to put the best construction upon dissentients and not to escape from any just charge against ourselves, are as rare in Christian and Church Advocates as they are valuable to their cause. Even those who may not be able to agree with Mr. Maurice throughout, will certainly admire the charity and forbearance he displays in dealing with difficult and delicate subjects: none can well be other than gainers by witnessing a treatment of them so remarkable in respect both of temper and ability."-CLERICAL Journal.

"Every author of real mark has a purpose in writing a book, without a knowledge of which it cannot be fairly appreciated, and by it should be estimated the method of his reasonings, illustrations, and phraseology. This plain canon of writing might, we think, help to absolve Mr. Maurice from some of the weightier accusations which have been brought against him."-CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY REVIEW.

MACMILLAN AND CO.'s

Phaethon; or Loose Thoughts for Loose Thinkers. By the Rev. CHARLES KINGSLEY, Canon of Middleham and Rector of Eversley; Author of "The Saint's Tragedy", &c. Crown 8vo. sewed, 2s.

"The Dialogue of Phaethon has striking beauties viewed apart from its
expressed reference to this modern form of heresy; and its suggestions
may meet half way many a latent doubt, and, like a light breeze, lift
from the soul clouds that are gathering heavily, and threatening to
settle down in wintry gloom on the summer of many a fair and pro-
mising young life."-SPECTATOR, Oct. 2, 1153.

"We cordially welcome Mr. Kingsley into the field of discussion on which
he has here entered. It is one in which he is capable beyond most of
doing the state some service."-BRITISH QUARTERLY.
"One of the most interesting works we ever read."

NONCONFORMIST, Jan. 19, 1853.

*An Introduction to the Study of the Gospels: Including a new and improved Edition of 'The Elements of the Gospel Harmony.' With a Catena on INSPIRATION, from the Writings of the Ante-Nicene Fathers. By the Rev. BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Assistant Master in Harrow School. Crown 8vo, cloth. Shortly. "Deserves and will command attention."-CHRIST. REMEMBRANCER. "With peculiar gratification do we welcome the truly learned, vigoand genial work of Mr. Westcott, The whole style of Mr. Westcott's book shows how possible it is to think profoundly without undermining the foundations of faith, and to be a debtor to Germany without being its slave."
