"Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited
the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much
to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet
we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To
gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or
woman to take ap a new volume : and if Mr. Evil does not add
distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one--of placing
familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . . The
book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall
Gazette.

" Raving read the book through from cover to cover—of itself
an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare
Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once
or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could
spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func-
tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture
and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As
a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned
cities through which he made this winter journey, he has
acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun.
" The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the
picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some-
times eloquent language Notwithstanding his well-
worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume,
which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News.

" There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels,
and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing
that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its
descriptions of places and works of a$ we can thoroughly testify,
and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an
Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves
with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger.

" sir. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable
him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance
at the opening of the cgcumenical Council ; his journey was
accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route
sketches are lively and amusing."—Record.

" In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter-
esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker may extend into
the compass of two goodly volumes ln tne very first
page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its
contents We recommend the entire little volume as
well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental
information."—News of the World.

"The ground was all new to Mr. Evil, and, in spite of the
season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir-
cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables
him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has
seen. . . . . Mr. Evil was fortunate enough, in company
with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro-
cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican
Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western
Morning News.

"Italy has been described to the reading world again and
again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the
charm of novelty, and it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge-
nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records
his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian
scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone
before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The
exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in
glowing,• terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the
(Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. Ms description of
Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the
average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a
perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery
described, and be grateful to Mr. II vill for his pleasant resolleo-
tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News.
"Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be
read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English-
women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . .

The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it
every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen
will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's Winter
Journey to Rome."—The Examiner.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5,
Red Lion-square, W.C. London.—During the last 10 years
this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number
of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan
adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London
and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
_ _ _ _

During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly
every week in some of the most frequented districts of the
metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones.

To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are
earnestly solicited, and will be thaikfully received by Mr. John
Stabb, Hon. Sec., 5, Rod Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the
Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C.
