" He goes to work upon the only true principle, and produces a picture that at once satisfies

 Eighteen Christian Centuries ; and those who want to know still more than he gives them, will

History of France, 



FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE YEAR 1848. 



By the Eev. James White, 



Author of the " Eighteen Christian Centuries." 



Post Octavo, price 9s. 



"Mr White's 'History of France,' in a single volume of some 600 pages, contains every lead- 

 ing incident worth the telling, and abounds in word-paiating whereof a paragraph has often as 

 much active life in it as one of those inch-square etchings of the great Callot, in which may be 

 clearly seen whole armies contending in bloody arbitrament, and as many incidents of battle as 

 may be gazed at in the miles of canvass in the military picture-galleries at Versailles." — Athenamm. 



" An excellent and comprehensive compendium of French history, quite above the standard of 

 a school-book, and particularly well adapted for the libraries of literary institutions." — National 

 Jteview. 



" We have in this volume the history of France told rapidly and distinctly by a narrator who 

 has fancy and judgment to assist him in seizing rightly and presenting in the most eff'ective man- 

 ner both the main incidents of his tale and the main principles involved in them. Mr White is, 

 in our time, the only writer of short histories, or summaries of history, that may be read for 

 pleasure as well as instruction, that are not less true for being told in an effective way, and that 

 give equal pleasure to the cultivated and to the uncultivated reader." — Examvner. 



Leaders of the Beformation : 



LUTHER, CALVIN, LATIMER, AND KNOX. 



Bythellev. John Tulloch, D.D., 



Principal, and Primarius Professor of Theology, St Mary's College, St Andrews, 



Crown Octavo, price 5s. 



"We are not acquainted with any work in which so much solid information upon the leading 

 aspects of the great Reformation is presented in so well-packed and pleasing a form." — Witness. 



"The idea was excellent, and most ably has it been executed. Each Essay is a lesson in sound 

 thinking as well as in good writing. The deliberate perusal of the volume will be an exercise for 

 which all, whether yoimg or old, will be the better. The book is erudite, and throughout marked 

 by ^eat independence of thought. We very highly prize the publication. "^British Standa/rd. 



"We cannot but congratulate both Dr TuUoch and the university of which he is so prominent a 

 member on this evidence of returning life in Presbyterian thought. It seems as though the 

 chains of an outgrown Pimtanism were at last falling from the limbs of Scotch theology. There 

 is a width of sympathy and a power of writing in this little volume which fills us with great ex- 

 pectation. We trust that Dr Tulloch will consider it as being merely the basis of a more complete 

 and erudite inquiry."— iiierary Gazette. 



" The style Is admirable in force and in pathos, and the book one to be altogether recommended, 

 both for the merits of those of whom it treats, and for that which the writer unconsciously 

 reveals of his own character. " — Globe.
