Second Edition.

SCRIPTURE LANDS IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR HISTORY. By G. S. DREW, M.A., Vicar of Trinity, Lambeth, Author of "Reasons of Faith." Bevelled boards, 8vo, price 10s. 6d.

"Mr. Drew has invented a new method of illustrating Scripture history -from observation of the countries. Instead of narrating his travels and referring from time to time to the facts of sacred history belonging to the different countries, he writes an outline history of the Hebrew nation from Abraham downwards, with special reference to the various points in which the geography illustrates the history. The advantages of this plan are obvious. Mr. Drew thus gives us not a mere imitation of 'Sinai and Palestine,' but a view of the same subject from the other side. He

is very successful in picturing to his readers the scenes before his own mind. The position of Abraham in Palestine is portrayed, both socially and geographically, with great vigour. Mr. Drew has given an admirable account of the Hebrew sojourn in Egypt, and has done much to popularize the newly-acquired knowledge of Assyria in connection with the two Jewish kingdoms.-Saturday Review.

Second Edition.

CATHOLICISM AND THE VATICAN. With a Narrative of the Old Catholic Congress at Munich. By J. LOWRY WHITTLE, A.M., Trin. Coll., Dublin. Crown 8vo, 4s. 6d.

"We cannot follow the author through his graphic and lucid sketch of the Catholic movement in Germany and of the Munich Congress, at which he was present; but we may cordially recommend his book to all who wish to follow the course of the movement."-Saturday Review.

"A valuable and philosophic contribution to the solution of one of the greatest questions of this stirring age."-Church Times.

NAZARETH: ITS LIFE AND LESSONS. In small 8vo, cloth, 5s. By the Author of "The Divine Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven."

"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." "A singularly reverent and beautiful book; the style in which it is written is not less chaste and attractive than its subject."-Daily Telegraph. "Perhaps one of the most remarkable books recently issued in the whole range of English theology. Original in design, calm and appreciative in language, noble and elevated in style, this book, we venture to think, will live."-Churchman's Magazine.

JOURNALS KEPT IN FRANCE AND ITALY, FROM 1848 TO 1852. With a Sketch of the Revolution of 1848. By the late NASSAU WILLIAM SENIOR. Edited by his daughter, M. C. M. SIMPSON. In two vols., post 8vo, 24s.

"The present volume gives us conversations with some of the most prominent men in the political history of France and Italy

as

well as with others whose names are not so familiar or are hidden under initials. Mr. Senior has the art of inspiring all men with frankness, and of persuading them to put themselves unreservedly in his hands without fear of private circulation."-Athenæum.

"The book has a genuine historical value."-Saturday Review.

"No better, more honest, and more readable view of the state of political society during the existence of the second Republic could well be looked for."-Examiner.

XLVI.

THE DIVINE KINGDOM ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. In demy 8vo, bound in cloth. Price 10s. 6d.

"Our COMMONWEALTH is in Heaven."

[Now ready.

"It is seldom that, in the course of our critical duties, we have to deal with a volume of any size or pretension so entirely valuable and satisfactory as this. Published anonymously as it is, there is no living divine to whom the authorship would not be a credit. . . Not the least of its merits is the perfect simplicity and clearness, conjoined with a certain massive beauty, of its style."-Literary Churchman.

"A high purpose and a devout spirit characterize this work. It is thoughtful and eloquent. The most valuable and suggestive chapter is entitled 'Fulfilment in Life and Ministry of Christ,' which is full of original thinking admirably expressed."-British Quarterly Review.
