 /exception of this volume." Figaro. 



"A volume of carefully-prepared sketches, in- 

 cluding a memoir of the late Prince Consort, show-

 'husband of the Queen, the tutor of the royal 

 children, the private secretary to the Sovereign, 

 .and her permanent minister;' Sketches of Robert

 faction in his daily work, although nothing less 

 practical than that of a baker, but who yet made 

 noble contributions to geological science;' of 

 George Moore; of Commodore Goodenough, and 

 others, not forgetting Lord Lawrence who rendered 

 invaluble services to his country in our Indian 

 possessions." Nonconformist. 



" Readable examples with original 



comment and reflection judiciously intermixed."

"These biographies can only be spoken of in 

 terms of cordial praise. The facts are evidently 

 drawn from the best sources ; they are narrated 

 in an exceedingly attractive style : and each me- 

 moir contains information which not only the young, 

 but many readers of mature age will be glad to 

 .avail themselves of." Nottingham Guardian. 



" Instructive and tastefully-written biographies.
