ST. PAUL THE TRAVELLER AND THE ROMAN CITIZEN. By W. M. Ramsay, D.C.L., LL.D., Professor of Humanity, Aberdeen; Author of "The Church in the Roman Empire," etc. Second Thousand. 8vo, cloth, with Map, 10s. 6d.
"Professor Ramsay brings not only his great experience as a traveller and archæologist, but the resources of an ingenious mind, and a lively style. The book is, like everything Professor Ramsay does, extraordinarily alive. It shows everywhere personal learning, personal impression; it has the sharp touch of the traveller and the eye-witness."—Times.
"His book is at once a critical reconstruction of the narrative in 'Acts.' A new reading of the life of the Apostle of the Gentiles, a fresh explanation of the relation between first-century Christianity and the social and political conditions amid which it developed, and an announcement of the discovery of an historical star of the first magnitude. The light thrown by Professor Ramsay on the career of the Apostle Paul is often startling in its freshness. There is, indeed, scarcely a single incident in the Apostle's life upon which he has not something new to say."—Glasgow Herald.
THE CHURCH IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE BEFORE A.D. 170. By W. M. Ramsay, M.A., D.C.L., Professor of Humanity in the University of Aberdeen. Fourth Edition. With Maps and Illustrations, 8vo, cloth, 12s.
"This volume is the most important contribution to the study of early Church history which has bean published in this country since the great work of Bishop Lightfoot on the Apostolic fathers. It is, too, unless our memory fails us, without a rival in any foreign country."—Guardian.
THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE HOLY LAND. By George Adam Smith, D.D., Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis, Free Church College, Glasgow. With Six Maps, specially prepared. Fifth Thousand. 8vo, cloth, 15s.
"Professor Smith is well equipped at all points for this work. He is abreast of the latest findings of Scripture exegesis, and of geographical survey, and of archæological exploration; and he has himself travelled widely over Palestine. The value of the work is incalculably increased by the series of geographical maps, the first of the kind representing the whole lift and the of the land by gradations of colour."—Scotsman.
"A very noteworthy contribution to the study of sacred history, based upon the three indispensable conditions of personal acquaintance with the land, a study of the explorations, discoveries, and decipherments ... and the employment of the results of Biblical criticism."—Times.
THE ASCENT OF MAN. By Henry Drummond. Twenty-first Thousand. Net, 7s. 6d.
"Worked out with characteristic ardour and courage. The technical quality of the book is of a high order. In none of his works is Mr. Drummond's literary skill more strikingly manifested. The style—metaphorical, allusive, picturesque—has even more of the writer's wonted grace and facility, and his command of analogy has never been employed with better effect, and productive of more varied and suggestive illustrations."—Saturday Review.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
NATURAL LAW IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. Thirty-second Edition, completing 119,000. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"We have no hesitation in saying that this is one of the most able and interesting books on the relations which exist between natural science and spiritual life that has appeared. Mr. Drummond writes perfect English; his ideas are fresh, and expressed with admirable felicity. His book is one to fertilise the mind, to open it to fresh fields of thought, and to stimulate its activity."—Literary Churchman.
TROPICAL AFRICA. Seventh Edition, completing 34,000. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"Professor Drummond is a clear and accurate observer, and as he has had a sound scientific training, and has a real interest in the human side of African life, he is able to present us with pictures of a distinctness and originality not often met with in books of African travel."—Times.
THE PERMANENT MESSAGE OF THE EXODUS; or, The Mission of Moses. By Rev. John Smith, D.D., of Broughton Place Church, Edinburgh. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"The discourses are of a high order; their author is evidently a man thoroughly in earnest, pulsing with a life which he is eager to communicate. Fresh, fervent, and eloquent, full of interesting information and suggestive statement, they must have produced a deep impression when they were delivered, though for their true appreciation they require quiet, careful, and thoughtful perusal."—Scotsman.
THE PROBLEM OF THE AGES. A Book for Young Men. By the Rev. J. B. Hastings, M.A., of Edinburgh. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"He puts the main broad arguments in favour of belief in God and Christianity with admirable lucidity, and generally in a terse and telling fashion. The book is well calculated to serve the purpose with which it has been written, and contains in a handy form a great many modern arguments and evidences which can be got at only by a rather extended course of reading."—Glasgow Herald.
WORKS BY SIR J. W. DAWSON, LL.D., F.R.S.
1. EDEN LOST AND WON. Studies of the Early History and Final Destiny of Man as taught in Nature and Revelation. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.
"Sir William Dawson, in his exalted position as one of the ablest of our modern scientific teachers, is a devout believer in Holy Scripture, and a fearless student of evidence. In these chapters he stands resolutely by the validity of the earlier books of the Hebrew Scriptures.... We need scarcely say that these chapters are enriched by a great deal of special knowledge, both scientific and antiquarian."—Methodist Recorder.
2. MODERN SCIENCE IN BIBLE LANDS. Third Edition. With Map and Illustrations. Crown 8vo, 6s.
"It is full of valuable and trustworthy information, and copiously illustrated with maps and drawings, thus constituting a useful part of a Biblical student's equipment."—Church Times.
3. SOME SALIENT POINTS IN THE SCIENCE OF THE EARTH. With Forty-six Illustrations. Second Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"All that Sir J. William Dawson writes is interesting and forcible, but this, his last work, is by far the most forcible that he has written."—Athenæum.
4. FOSSIL MEN AND THEIR MODERN REPRESENTATIVES. With Forty-four Illustrations. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"It will be especially acceptable to those who refuse to accept the high estimate of man's antiquity which modern science has brought forth, for they will find here their case stated with much ability, and illustrated by a wealth of material drawn from sources not sufficiently known in this country."—Athenæum.
5. THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO REVELATION AND SCIENCE. Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"Any one who will study Dr. Dawson's three recent volumes will not only gain much trustworthy information on matters of romantic interest, but will make the acquaintance of a writer who is as vigorous as he is modest, and as modest as he is vigorous; who knows how to throw the air of genius around even the minuter facts and details of philosophical inquiry; and who combines a true scientific independence of thought with a reverent faith in the Scriptures and the Gospel."—London Quarterly Review.
6. THE STORY OF THE EARTH AND MAN. With Twenty Illustrations. Eleventh Edition, Revised. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"A geological treatise has rarely, if ever, been put into a more readable and popular form. General readers, who have been puzzled and perplexed by elementary text-books, and who have found little satisfaction in the vague generalisation and unmethodical picturesqueness of other popular expositions, will obtain in these pages a clear, trustworthy, and sufficiently panoramic version of the story of the earth and man."—Glasgow Herald.
THE DAYS OF AULD LANG SYNE. By Ian Maclaren. Third Edition, completing 50,000. Crown 8vo, gilt top, 6s.
"There is, we think, a sense in which the new volume is not merely an addition but a supplement to its predecessor. In 'Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush' were passages, and indeed whole stories, which were masterstrokes or masterpieces of a fine poignant pathos, or a dry yet genial humour, but the former preponderated, and gave tone and expression to the book. It may be doubted whether the humorous quality of that Scots canniness which stands out most conspicuously in a difficult negotiation has ever been rendered with happier fineness of observation or intimacy of touch than in the opening study, 'A Triumph in Diplomacy.'"—Daily Chronicle.
BESIDE THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH. By the same Author. Ninth Edition, completing 60,000. Art linen, crown 8vo, gilt top, 6s.
"As an artist in Scotch character of the sort that is found at its best in country villages he has no superior among his contemporaries, ambitious and able as several of these are."—Spectator.
STRANGERS AT LISCONNEL. A second Series of "Irish Idylls." By Jane Barlow. Second Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth. 6s.
"In 'Strangers at Lisconnel' Miss Barlow returns to her early love, and has produced a second series of 'Irish Idylls' which are in every way as delightful as the sketches of peasant life that at one bound brought her into the very front rank of delineators of Irish character. The sketches possess in a high degree all the charm, simplicity, and tenderness of the original series, while revealing the same fidelity to nature as well as the rich humour and pathos characteristic of the people which Miss Barlow so admirably describes."—Scotsman.
"Only the nature of a genuine artist, combined with the skill of a master of language, could lend so powerful and vivid an interest to the section of barren Irish bogland where the scenes are laid, and only one who had a tender interest and affection for the people could weave such a truthful yet fascinating web of romance around their simple lives."—Derry Standard.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
1. IRISH IDYLLS. Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"The 'Irish Idylls' are delightful reading, and afford a truer insight into Irish peasant character, and ways of light and thought, than any book that it has been our fortune to read for a long time."—Athenæum.
2. KERRIGAN'S QUALITY. Third Thousand. Crown 8vo, art linen, gilt top, 6s.
"A book to touch the hearts of all who read it. Miss Barlow's sketches of the Irish peasantry are the work of close and sympathetic observation, combined with great literary dexterity."—The Daily Chronicle.
3. BOGLAND STUDIES. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"Rarely has it been our fortune to find between a couple of covers more humanity wedded to such vivid lines. Miss Barlow is remarkably observant; she has a gift of concentration, a power of showing us a scene in one line."—Literary World.
LITERARY ANECDOTES OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY: Contributions towards the Literary History of the Period. Edited by W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A., LL.D., and Thomas J. Wise. Volume I., 20s. net.
Preface.—The work, of which this is the first volume, has been suggested by Nichols's well-known Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century. The editors hope to provide in it a considerable amount of fresh matter, illustrating the Life and work of British Authors in the Nineteenth Century. To a large extent they rely upon manuscript material, but use will be made of practically inaccessible texts, and of fugitive writings. While leading authors will receive due attention, much space will be devoted to the less-known writers of the period. It is intended to supply Biographies, Letters hitherto unpublished, additions from Manuscript sources to published works, together with a series of full Bibliographies of the writings of the greater authors. Every precaution has been taken to avoid the infringement of copyright, and the editors hope that they will be forgiven any involuntary transgression. Illustrations and numerous fac-similes will be provided in each volume. While only one thousand copies are to be printed, of which two hundred and fifty are for America, in no circumstances will a reprint be undertaken. The editors, however, reserve the right to issue separately any section of the work.
It is hoped that the second volume will be published in October, 1896.
SONGS OF REST. Edited by W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A., LL.D. Presentation Edition. Second Edition. Elegantly bound in Buckram, gilt top, 5s. This volume includes the First and Second Series. They have been thoroughly revised, and increased by one-third. The Bijou Edition is still on sale, First and Second Series, 1s. 6d. each.
"He has collected many beautiful things."—Daily Chronicle.
"We are not surprised that this new and dainty edition, in one handsome volume, is demanded.... Some of the most exquisite verses in this book are by singers whose praise is certainly not in all the churches, but there is, nevertheless, a deep and impressive unison in all the music."—The Speaker.
A WINDOW IN THRUMS. By J. M. Barrie. Fourteenth Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6s.
"We think that this is the very best of the many good sketches of Scottish peasant life which we have ever read"—Standard.
"This remarkable little book. We follow the homely record with an interest which the most sensational drama could not surpass."—Blackwood's Magazine.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
1. MY LADY NICOTINE. Sixth Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6s.
"Humour refined, irresistible, characteristic."—Echo.
"A very delightful book. The book should be read straight through, and then picked up at intervals and opened anywhere. Wherever it is opened it will please."—Speaker.
2. AULD LICHT IDYLLS. Tenth Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6s.
"Racy, humorous, and altogether delightful."—Truth.
"At once the most successful, the most truly literary, and the most realistic attempt that has been made for years—if not for generations—to reproduce humble Scottish life."—Spectator.
An Édition de Luxe of
AULD LICHT IDYLLS. With Eighteen Etchings by William Hole. R.S.A. Handsomely printed by Messrs. R. & R. Clark, Edinburgh, on English hand-made paper. Large post 4to, 31s. 6d.

3. WHEN A MAN'S SINGLE. A Tale of Literary Life. Ninth Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6s.
"The best one-volume novel of the year."—Daily News.
"Mr. Barrie is a man with a style. From one end to the other the story is bright, cheerful, amusing."—Saturday Review.
LOVE AND QUIET LIFE. Somerset Idylls. By Walter Raymond, Author of "Gentleman Upcott's Daughter," "Young Sam and Sabina," etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, gilt top. 6s.
LONDON IDYLLS. By W. J. Dawson. Second Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.
"A collection of stories of much promise. Mr. Dawson has a pleasant style, an easy command of effective expression, and he passes lightly from pathos to humour, or rather he can blend the two with no sensible transition."—Times.
"In 'London Idylls' W. J. Dawson has written a book that will be treasured. The poem, in which the author seeks to express the indefinable poetry of London, could only have been written by one very nearly attuned to the spirit, to the loves and passions, joys and sorrows of the world's greatest centre of romance. Of the idylls themselves little may be written to convey any real sense of their charm. The themes on which they turn are such as only London could have supplied. Than the first exquisitely rendered story—infinitely simple and tender—it is not too much to say that nothing more heartsearching has been written since the historian of Joe, the crossing-sweeper, laid down his pen. Dickens himself might have wept over it."—Dundee Advertiser.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

"A powerful story."—Times.
"A powerful book, with a pure and high aim."—Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone.
2. QUEST AND VISION. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"The marks of wide reading pervade the volume, and Mr. Dawson is in the main singularly adroit in his allusions."—Speaker.
3. THE MAKERS OF MODERN ENGLISH: A Popular Handbook to the Greater Poets of the Century. Fifth Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.
4. THE MAKING OF MANHOOD. Fourth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"There is a manly outspokenness in this book as well as vision and sympathy, and an evident understanding of the needs and aspirations which determine the point of view in youth towards religion and literature, work and play, and the give and take of society."—Speaker.
5. THE THRESHOLD OF MANHOOD. A Young Man's Words to Young Men. Eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"They are full of force, penetrated with Christian manliness, unsparing in their denunciations of vice, and throb with desire for the salvation of the young. These are sermons for the times, which should nerve many young soldiers for the good fight of faith."—London Quarterly Review.
WORKS BY DR. DALE.

LETTERS AND SKETCHES FROM THE NEW HEBRIDES. By Maggie Whitecross Paton (Mrs. John G. Paton of Aniwa). Edited by her Brother-in-Law, Rev. James Paton, B.A. With Portrait, Map, and 23 Illustrations. Third Edition. Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"A very attractive piece of missionary literature, full of vivid descriptions of nature and life."—Times.
"A peculiar charm undoubtedly characterises these letters. They were written for members of Mrs. Paton's family and personal friends, without any thought of publication; and their literary grace is evidently natural and of the uncommon kind. They abound in homely touches and in hearty humour, while the unrestrained personal and domestic allusions afford valuable illustrations of a side of missionary life the existence of which is sometimes strangely ignored, and the value of which to the work is by some utterly denied."—Church Missionary Intelligencer.
JOHN G. PATON, D.D., Missionary to the Hebrides. An Autobiography. Edited by his Brother, the Rev. James Paton, B.A. Popular Edition. Complete in One Volume. Twentieth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
"One of the best autobiographies we have ever read. It is candour itself, and bears the impress of truth on every page. It would take a very incorrigible Agnostic all his time not to fall in love with Dr. Paton and his noble work."—Daily Chronicle.
THE STORY OF JOHN G. PATON. Told for Young Folks. By the Rev. James Paton, B.A. With Forty-five Full-page Illustrations by J. Finnemore. With Map. Fifteenth Thousand. 8vo, cloth, 5s.
"In the record of thirty years' good work amongst the South Sea cannibals, we have before us one of those missionary enterprises which read almost more strangely than fiction itself.... There are enough hairbreadth escapes and deeds of cool, if unostentatious, courage in these pages to stock half-a-dozen ordinary books, and the forty-five graphic illustrations add much to the attraction of the text."—Daily Telegraph.
LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI. By Paul Sabatier. Translated from the French. Gilt top. New Edition. Price 9s. net.
"M. Paul Sabatier is one of those men of letters, unhappily rare in France, in whom ripe learning and fine critical sagacity are not divorced from a reasonable Christian faith. Trained in the 'Faculté de Théologie Protestante de Paris,' he has grown into the most brilliant scholar of his Church. No commentary on the Didache, for instance, is more illuminating than the edition of that treasure-trove which he published in 1885. And now he has given us a 'Life of St. Francis' which may stand on the same shelf with Villari's 'Life of Savonarola.'"—The Expositor.
"We may cordially commend this translation. It is thoroughly well done, fluent and accurate, and nowhere betraying by idiomatic faultiness or even stiffness, that insufficient mastery of one or the other language which mars too many versions."—Glasgow Herald.

OLD FARM FAIRIES. A Summer Campaign in Brownieland against King Cobweaver's Pixies. By Henry Christopher McCook, D.D. With 150 Illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s.
"The story tells of a war between the Brownies and the spiders, and will interest a child by the oddity and strangeness (greater than a purely imaginative writer could conceive) of the devices of strategy and warfare to which the spiders resort. The illustrations to the book are partly fanciful, partly true to the nature of spider life.... A story so fresh in its idea, and so well worked out, is sure to please a young reader, and to lend a peculiar attraction to the study of natural history."—Scotsman.

WORKS BY DR. THAIN DAVIDSON.
1. A GOOD START. Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"Books which are confessedly and designedly 'improving' without being dull, are not very common. Such books Dr. Davidson has already proved his capacity to write, and these 'homely talks' with young men are not inferior to his previous efforts. Earnest and plain, and strictly adapted to the understanding of the ordinary man, they are never careless or meaningless."—Academy.
2. SURE TO SUCCEED. Eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"An excellent present for a youth just going into business or coming up to London. It consists of twenty pithy and practical lectures to young men."—Record.

4. THE CITY YOUTH. Seventh Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"A volume well worthy to rank with his previous works on kindred subjects. Dr. Davidson's matter and manner are alike excellent. About the former there is no suspicion of what hasty people might call cant, while the latter is serious but not heavy. Dr. Davidson aims at no impossible standard; he is as sympathetic as he is acute, as kind as he is firm."—Globe.
5. TALKS WITH YOUNG MEN. Fifteenth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d.
"For sterling common-sense combined with true spiritual feeling, they have not been surpassed for many a day. The addresses bristle with telling metaphors and illustrations, and the book can be read from cover to cover with profitable interest."—Literary World.
THE CATACOMBS OF ROME, and their Testimony Relative to Primitive Christianity. By the Rev. W. H. Withrow, M.A. Sixth Edition. 134 Illustrations. Crown 8vo; cloth, 6s.
"Mr. Withrow's account of the catacombs of Rome is an exceedingly painstaking and thorough-going work, and whether or not the writer may be correct in all his inferences, they have evidently been founded upon diligent information. He could not have very much that was absolutely new to tell on the subject; but as a convenient account of the most remarkable and interesting monuments of primitive Christianity, of those excavations which furnished the persecuted Church with refuges during life and in death, which formed her places of worship in times of peril, and received the remains of martyrs, the present volume is perhaps inferior to none of its predecessors."—Saturday Review.
THE HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. By George P. Fisher, D.D., LL.D. With Seven Coloured Maps. New Edition. Fifteenth Thousand. 8vo, 712 pp., 12s.
"We are sincerely thankful to Dr. Fisher for having collected with so much labour, and sifted with so much clearness, a perfectly overwhelming mass of facts, and we are certain that his book will be frequently referred to by students of Church History, as a trustworthy compendium and outline of the main events in the history of the Church."—Guardian.
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
THE GROUNDS OF THEISTIC AND CHRISTIAN BELIEF. 8vo, cloth, 10s. 6d.
"The book, which we have frequently recommended, is an able defence of both natural and supernatural religion, and forms practically a modern appendix to Butler's 'Analogy.' The work is not merely an 'apology'; it pursues the attack with considerable vigour, and hence it provides an ample armoury whence to draw weapons for use against the arguments of unbelieving scientists and philosophers."—Church Times.

2. THE EVERY-DAY OF LIFE. Fifth Edition.
"Rich in suggestion and full of truth."—Dundee Advertiser.
"Dr. Miller very fitly dedicates his new book to 'those who want to grow better.' By such his pages will be read with mingled delight and profit, for they are full of apt quotation, striking and abundant illustration, and great knowledge of human nature."—Literary World.
3. SECRETS OF A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. Third Edition.

THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS. By Handley C. G. Moule, M.A., B.D., Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"Mr. Moule has made a very careful study of Paul's great doctrinal epistle, and has entered thoroughly into its spirit."—Scotsman.
"We do not hesitate to place it in the very front of the little group of volumes which are the best examples of this carefully edited work. It would be pleasant to linger upon this commentary, upon the clearness with which the great evangelical doctrines of the Epistle are explained and enforced, upon the earnestness of its personal appeal, and the charm which often marks its language; but the judicious student of the New Testament will obtain the book for himself."—Record.

"For the rest we have little to say that is not in praise of a volume which is modelled somewhat on the lines of Dr. Smiles' 'Self-Help.' There is so much pernicious literature in circulation that it is always a pleasure to meet with books which confront the young ideas with golden deeds. Happily, Mr. Thayer writes with vivacity, and knows how to select the picturesque and salient incidents, and in the majority of instances he has likewise the good sense to let it speak for itself."—Speaker.

1. THE KEY OF THE GRAVE. A Book for the Bereaved. By W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A., LL.D. Third Edition.
"Dr. Robertson Nicoll has produced a unique, exquisite, and most edifying book. We are much impressed by the delicate and profound spiritual insight manifested on every page of this beautiful little volume. Many a familiar passage in the Bible shines with a new, unexpected, and immortal light. It is difficult to know what to quote from a volume so full of delightful and memorable passages. It is pre-eminently a book to put into the hands of the refined, sensitive, scholarly, and devout, when they feel the awful pressure of the greatest bereavement."—Methodist Times.
2. MEMORANDA SACRA. By Professor J. Rendel Harris, M.A., Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. Second Edition.
"Two gifts, both of the very highest, are marvellously united in Professor Rendel Harris, and here we have the ripe fruits of one, in most delicious flavour and most wholesome nourishment. It is not possible to review such a book as this. Words about it do not tell us what it is. Nor will a selection of words from it half convey its incommunicable fragrance."—Expository Times.
THE GENERAL GORDON EDITION.
3. CHRIST MYSTICAL. By Joseph Hall, D.D., Bishop of Norwich. Reprinted, with General Gordon's marks, from the Original Copy used by him, and with an Introduction on his Theology by the Rev. H. Carruthers Wilson, M.A.
"Hall's treatise is in itself an excellent example of the best kind of devotional literature, and it will contribute to its appreciation by the modern reader that its sacred teachings and appeals formed part of the spiritual nourishment of the English 19th century hero and saint."—Christian World.
4. RUYSBROECK AND THE MYSTICS. With selections from Ruysbroeck. By Maurice Maeterlinck. Authorised Translation by Jane T. Stoddart.
"It does much to make intelligible and attractive a powerful religious thinker, from whom most readers would turn aside on account of the perplexities and vagueness of his manner."—Scotsman.
