/" We have had frequent occasion to speak
Of the diligence, good sense, and good lnten-
tons, Of Mr.. Murray and We congratulate
him sincerely ON the success OF this particular
work We announce this edition, because the
alterations and additions are SO considerable,
that it is rendered almost new work.
british Critic, Jaly 1901.
aThe examples which Mr.Murray has here
selected, and the judicious reflections which
accompany them, are such as can scarcely tau
to make the best impressions, and to produce
the best effects, on ali who read them with at
tention. The present edition Of this excel
lent publication, which has been long known
and commended, is enlarged by the addition
Of twenty two new characters, filling nearly
one hundred pages
.4lhi-Jacobin Reviezy, Jan. 1904.
owe have received the tenth and last edi-
ton of this valuable work. The improve
r.ents made in it, will appear from the authors
advertisement. We can only add to this ac-
count of the present useful volume, our hope
that it will be extensively circulated among
our countrymen."
The american Review e Literary Journal,
for my, .dugusS q Seffcmber, 1907.
Con reviewing this book, in its improved
form, We find the facts unqucscionabls and
highly interesting--the style correct and neat
and the general tendency of the work such
as induces us strongly to recommend il, espe-
cially to young readers, who love entertain
ment mingled with Instruction.
EuangeAcal Magazine, oct. 1901.
"The rapid sale Of this small but valuable
collection, has anticipated the commentator
we are DESTROYS to bestow. In an exenpliG-
cation of more than seventy remarkable cha
ractcrs, many striking examples are exhibited
which, in the quiet hour OF reflection, man
contribute to arrest the careless and wander
ing to animate the sincere and yiltuous and
