From the TIMES, October 4, 1861.

"As regards the contents of this Cyclopædia, it is, however, impossible to give any sufficient impression of an aggregate which includes somewhere or other all the information generally required upon every conceivable topic. A good Encyclopædia, as every one knows, is a compendious library, and though students may require further information upon some points than its summaries contain, even students will be surprised in this instance to find the materials at their disposal when they once adopt the habit of resorting to its pages. For all practical purposes a large proportion of the articles may be said to be exhaustive; they are accurate to a degree which will strike even those who know what pains have been taken to render them so; and, as they are concise as well as full, every column being rammed like a skyrocket, the owner has a reservoir out of all proportion to the library shelves it will occupy."

From the DAILY NEWS, October 23, 1861.

"In its completed form 'The English Cyclopædia' is destined, we are sure, to prove of immense value. It is well written, and its vast stores of knowledge are so arranged as to be readily accessible. It is so copious that the student need not doubt that he will find the information he may reasonably expect in a work which is offered to him as 'A New Dictionary of Universal Knowledge.' Its cheapness, combined with excellence, marks it out for a very wide circulation. We repeat our congratulations to Mr. Knight, who has so honourably brought his important undertaking to a close."

From the SPECTATOR, September 28, 1861.

"It is a work that may safely be consulted by the most advanced students, and is likely to hold its own as the most complete work of reference in the language, until some great revolution in science has taught us how blindly our wisest philosophers are still groping in the dark."

BRADBURY & EVANS, 11 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, E.C. (199)

WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

"Refinement of taste, purity of moral tone, and poetical | moral purpose to the tale, which adds greatly to its other and dramatic talent in the conception and working out of excellences." character, are conspicuous throughout. In descriptions of nature, especially where she has snatched a grace from Art, The Shadow in the House' is wealthy. GLOBE. "The story will remain as one of the gems of English fiction. The author will be counted among the masters who have pierced the human heart through and through. Mr. Saunders' humour is real humour, his pictures of country life are odorous, and that sweetest of women, Mrs. Dell, will yet furnish a subject for the painter."

CITY PRESS.

"The mustard-seed of error or weakness from which all the horrors of the tale are made to arise, is a very natural and true view of life, and gives a high but not obtrusive

"The work before us, which is couched in language not only effective and characteristic, but singularly chaste and poetical, is constructed upon the excellent principle of gradually developing the characters and incidents; the interest gaining almost unconsciously upon the reader, growing stronger and stronger with every succeeding chapter, till his attention is completely absorbed, and his mind prepared for the final dénouement."
