RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ABOVE "oNh Ne
s. We have had frequent occasion to SPEAK
of the diligence, good sense, and gooo li'ten-
tions. of Mr.. Murray ; and we congratulate
him siucercly on the success or this particular
work. We announce this edition, because the
alterations and additions are SO considerable,
that il is rendered almost new work."
British Cri!fc, July 1901.
The examples which Mr.Murray has here
selected, and the iudCious reflections which
accompany them, are such as can scarcely fail
TO make the best impressions, and to produce
the best effects, on all who read them with at
tension. The present edition OF this excel
lent notification, which has been long known
and commended, is enlarged by the addition
nc twenty-two new characters, filing nearly
one hundred pages.

son reviewing this book, in its improved
form, we find the facts unquesIonable and
highly interesting-the style correct and neat
and the .ge~eral tendency of the work such
as induces US strongly to recommend 4, espe-
cially TO young readers, who love entertain
ment mingled with instruction"
EvangeEical Magazine, Oct 1901.
"The rapid sale Of this small but valuable
collection, has anticipated the commentator
we are DESTROYS to bestow. In all exempllfl-
cation of more than seventy remarkable Cha
racters, 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 ylrtuous; and
TO convince or diseountenance those who have
been eunhappily led to oppose the highest
