 Mr Barnett Smith continues his biographical activity. It is not many weeks since 

 a volume appeared from his pen on " Christian Workers of the Nineteenth Century " ; 

 now we have "Women of Renown: Nineteenth Century Studies." The later is the 

 larger and more elaborate work of the two, but in design and execution it is not 

 greatly dissimilar from the earlier volume. Desirous of showing what the women of 

 eminence whom he has chosen for delineation really were— how they lived, moved, 

 and acted— the author has presented them wherever he could "as painted by them- 

 selves or their contemporaries." Autobiographies and biographies are thus, as far as 

 available, laid under contribution. In the hands of so capable a compiler as Mr 

 Barnett Smith such materials have been skilfully utilised, and the result Is a series of 

 brightly written sketches. 



The Life and Enterprises of Ferdinand de Lesseps— The only full 

 and Complete English Account of. New Edition. Revised, and 

 brought up to the time of his death, with Portrait. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. 



" A great part of M. de Lesseps' career already belongs to history, and is Invested 

 with a lustra whicli nothing can obscure. Mr Q. Barnett Smith malies this clear in bis 

 useful and painstaking compilation. . . . It is skilfully executed, and illustrates aptly 

 and not altogether inopportunely, both the poetry and the prose of H. de Lesseps' 

 extraordinary career." — The Times. 



" A very comprehensive life of Ferdinand de Lesseps has been produced by G. 

 Barnett Smith, who has already proved his ability as a faithful and painstaking bio- 

 grapher. The career of M. de Lesseps was one of great achievements and great 

 vicissitudes. This biotrraphcr lauds his achievements. The facts of the prosecution 

 in connection with the Panama Canal project are elaborately set forth in this volume, 

 to which all readers interested in the question should refer for information on a matter 

 which to people not resident in France must have appeared unusually complicated." — 

 Westminster Review.

 Writings. By Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, D.D. Crown 8vo, gilt top, 

 Ss. 



" In virtue of his literary genius, his solid acquirements, his manly sense, and his 

 sympathetic and generous piety, he ranks among the most eminent and estimable of 

 Christian teachers." — Chambers's JSTicyolopcedia. 



" These essays range over a period of twenty years ( 1 850-1870), and they furnish a 

 series of singularly interesting illustrations of the great controversies which have 

 agitated that time. . . . Every one, indeed, of his essays has achieved in its day a 

 success which makes a recommendation unnecessary." — Allibonb.
