Keith Johnston's School Atlases-OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "They are as superior to all School Atlases within our knowledge, as were the larger works of the same Author in advance of those that preceded them." -Educational Times. "Decidedly the best School Atlases we have ever seen."-English Journal of Education. The Physical Atlas seems to us particularly well executed. The last generation had no such help to learning as is afforded in these excellent elementary Maps. The Classical Atlas is a great improvement on what has usually gone by that name; not only is it fuller, but in some cases it gives the same country more than once in different periods of time. Thus it approaches the special value of a historical atlas. fully full and accurate for its scale. The General Atlas is wonderFinally, the Astronomical Atlas, in which Mr Hind is responsible for the scientific accuracy of the maps, supplies an admitted educational want. No better companion to an elementary astronomical treatise could be found than this cheap and convenient collection of maps."-Saturday Review. "The plan of these Atlases is admirable, and the excellence of the plan is rivalled by the beauty of the execution. The best security for the accuracy and substantial value of a School Atlas is to have it from the hands of a man like our Author, who has perfected his skill by the execution of much larger works, and gained a character which he will be careful not to jeopardise by attaching his name to anything that is crude, slovenly, or superficial."Scotsman.

Handsomely printed, in imitation of the large editions of Andro Hart, on toned paper, bound in cloth, red edges, 8s. 6d. We heartily recommend Mr Sprott's Introduction to the 'Book of Commun Order' to every one who wishes honestly to get the truth, and the whole truth, about the history, so far as Scotland is concerned, concerning a devotional formulary which has had so curious a destiny. This Introduction is full of learning, used with a candour that deserves all honour. In reading it we cannot find whether the author is a supporter or an opponent of a formulary of worship-he has undertaken the history of one book of that kind, and he tells it fairly out."-Scotsman.

Fair to See: A Novel. By Laurence W. M. Lockhart, Author of 'Doubles and Quits.' New Edition in 1 vol. post 8vo, 6s. "But politics are the smallest part of this very readable novel, the interest of which never flags, for the story is as full of situations' as a good play."Times. "Fair to See' is something better than a clever novel. It shows no little artistic power; and as you read it you feel that there is much more in the book than at first you fancied. The scenes on the moors, in the barracks, and the ball-rooms are all dashed off by an expert. These are minor merits, but they go far towards assuring the success of a story which marks a decided advance on the author's first novel."-Pall Mall Gazette. The Days of the Son of Man: A HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN THE TIME OF OUR LORD. By "Deserves high commendation. First, for the reverent common-sense which characterises its judgments; next, for the extensive and careful reading of the best authorities of which it is the result; also, for its admirable arrangement and lucidity; and lastly, for the succinctness which, without any sacrifice of completeness, presents us with a full view of the ministry of our Lord, its conditions, characteristics, and results, in so small a compass. As a manual for family and school use the book is, we think, the very best that has come under our notice."-British Quarterly Review. History of the Rise and Progress of Freemasonry In Scotland.

"It is of the handiest of sizes; the paper is good; and the type, which seems to be new, is very clear and beautiful. There are no pictures. The whole charm of the presentment of the volume consists in its handiness, and the tempting clearness and beauty of the type, which almost converts into a pleasure the mere act of following the printer's lines, and leaves the author's mind free to exert its unobstructed force upon the reader."-Examiner.

Studies in Roman Law. 868 pages, and 279 Engravings, With Comparative Views of the Laws of France, England, and Scotland. By Lord Mackenzie, one of the Judges of the Court of Session in Scotland. Second Edition, 8vo, 12s. "We know not in the English language where else to look for a history of the Roman Law so clear, and at the same time so short. More improving reading, both for the general student and for the lawyer, we cannot well imagine; and there are few, even among learned professional men, who will not gather some novel information from Lord Mackenzie's simple pages."-London Review. ... "This is, in many respects, one of the most interesting works that the legal press has issued in our time. The explanation of the Roman Law, historical and expository-the 'Studies'-is admirably given, clear and simple, and yet very learned, and the whole work is conceived in a candid and liberal spirit, being, besides, distinguished by a calmness of tone eminently befitting the judicial pen."-Law Magazine and Review. |
