By the Rev. J. B. MARSDEN. 
‘ Probably the best book on the subject current in our literature.’—A then^um. 
‘Mr. Marsden’s information is well digested, his judgment sound and impartial, his manner of statement not 
only clear, but with a sustained vividness. The work has somewhat the appearance of an Encyclopedia, but it 
is only in appearance. The exposition has the freshness of an original work. The philosophic impartiality of 
the author should not be passed over. He has, of course, opinions, but he indulges in no violence or harshness of 
censure. The arrangement is well adapted for the important point of conveying complete and full information.’— 
Spectator. 
‘Possesses the essential quality of accuracy, and the style is smooth and clear. It is a most useful book of 
reference on all subjects connected with ecclesiastical history.’— Morning Chronicle. 
‘Full, accurate, and impartial.’— Literary Gazette. 
‘ Supplies a want long felt by the clerical student.’— Morning Post. 
‘Mr. Marsden’s History has a fair chance of becoming widely known in England, and also in Scotland. The 
work exhibits high literary power and a thorough appreciation of the elements requisite for popularising a theme 
which all the dulness of the many who have written on it can never render wholly uninteresting.’— Edinburgh 
Guardian. 
1 vol. post 8vo. 5s. 
MEMOIRS OF REMARKABLE CHARACTERS: 
Nelson, Bossuet, Milton, Oliver Cromwell, &c. 
By M. LAMARTINE. 
‘ This work will materially raise the reputation of Lamartine. Along with the brilliancy of style and warmth 
of imagination which characterise all his writings, we find here gravity of thought and earnestness of purpose. 
The subject also is well suited to his peculiar,, genius and talents. As a sketcher of historical scenes and of 
historical characters, choosing his own subjects, suggested by his own tastes or sympathies, no living author is 
capable of greater or more successful efforts. In this work we have a gallery of illustriousjportraits, drawn in bold, 
striking style, and glowing with life-like feeling and expression.’— Literary Gazette. 
In 8vo. 6s. With numerous fine Plans and Plates.
