BY PETER LORIMER, D.D. JOHN WICLIF AND HIS ENGLISH PRE CURSORS, by GERHARD VICTOR LECHLER. Translated from the German, with additional Notes. Library Edition. Two vols. Demy 8vo. cloth, price 218. There can be no doubt whatever that they (the pages of this work) present by far the best and most comprehensive account of one of the most important and interesting personages of English history in pre-Reformation times. Great pains have been taken to investigate the incidents of Wiclif's life, around more than one of which hangs not a little that is disputable and obscure; and his opinions have been most copiously and accurately elicited from his acts and words, and illustrated by classical quotations from his writings. We must not forget to add also that Prof. Lorimer has himself enriched the work in almost every part by a number of "Additional Notes: -GUARDIAN. JOHN KNOX AND THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND: His Work in her Pulpit, and his Influence upon her Liturgy, Articles, and Parties. A Monograph founded upon several important Papers of Knox never before published. Demy 8vo. cloth, price 128. The Author seems unquestionably to have added some very important details to the history of the English Prayer Book, and the facts now for the first time made known to us ought to have an interest for many besides theologians.'-ACADEMY. A very important volume. Every student of English Church history must henceforward count this volume as an authority to be consulted.'SPECTATOR.
