THE GREYSON LETTERS. Selections from the Correspondence of 

 B. E. H. GREYSOX, Esq. Edited by HENRY ROGERS, Author of " The Eclipse of Faith." 

 12mo, cloth, $1.25. 



" Mr. Greyson and Mr. Rogers are one and the same person. The whole work is from his pen ; 

 and every letter is radiant with the genius of the author of the 'Eclipse of Faith.'" It discusses a 

 wide range of subjects in the most attractive manner. It abounds in the keenest wit and humor, 

 satire and logic. It fairly entitles Mr. Rogers to rank with Sydney Smith and Charles Lamb as a 

 wit and humorist, and with Bishop Butler as a reasoner. 



If Mr. Rogers lives to accomplish our expectations, we feel little doubt that his name will share, 

 with those of Butler and Pascal, in the gratitude and veneration of posterity. LONDON QUARTERLY. 



Full of acute observation, of subtle analysis, of accurate logic, fine description, apt quotation, pithy 

 remark, and amusing anecdote. ... A book, not for one hour, but for all hours; not for one mood, 

 but for every mood, to think over, to dream over, to laugh over. BOSTON JOURNAL. 



A truly good book, containing wise, true and original reflections, and written in an attractive style. 

 Hon. GEO. S. HILLARD, LL. D., in Boston Courier. 



Mr. Rogers has few equals as a critic, moral philosopher, and defender of truth. . . . This volume

 mingling the grave and the gay. CHRISTIAN OBSERVER.
