I.

WILLIAM WILBERFORCE.

By John Stoughton, D.D.

"This series of biographies has a distinct aim, and occupies a distinct place. It purposes to record the lives of men eminent for religious character or service. The series is well begun by Dr. Stoughton's excellent memoir of Wilberforce, which is done with equal literary skill, sound judgment, and good taste. It is admirable in feeling, and from beginning to end full of interest."—British Quarterly Review.

II.

HENRY MARTYN.

By Charles D. Bell, D.D., Honorary Canon of Carlisle, and Rector of Cheltenham.

"A worthy record of a noble life."—Whitehall Review.

"In every way a most delightful volume."—Rock.

III.

PHILIP DODDRIDGE.

By Charles Stanford, D.D.

"The story of the life and life-work of Doddridge is told by Dr. Stanford with felicitous grace and extraordinary animation. The romance and the conflict of the life, the delicate culture and high breeding of the man, and the various results of his sanctified intelligence and consecrated sense, are delineated with subtle tact and fine feeling."—Evangelical Magazine.

IV.

STEPHEN GRELLET.

By William Guest, F.G.S.

"The singularly adventurous history of Grellet, a son of noble parents established at Limoges, in France, who yet became one of the most distinguished American Quaker preachers, is not wholly unknown even beyond the Society of Friends. Mr. Guest necessarily condenses his facts, but his little book nevertheless presents many scenes of striking interest."—Daily News.

"If it were in our power, we would induce every one of our readers to invest his first spare half-crown in this book, and then we would persuade him to read it through and through."—Sword and Trowel.

"A marvellous story of adventurous mission and extraordinary acceptance."—Evangelical Magazine.

V.

ROBERT HALL.

By E. Paxton Hood.

"Whatever thou art, orthodox or heterodox, send for the Life of Robert Hall."—Bulwer Lytton's "The Caxtons."

"Mr. Paxton Hood's brilliant pen has given us a sketch of Robert Hall worthy to rank beside Dr. Stanford's 'Philip Doddridge.'"—Christian.

"We have not often taken up a more interesting biography."—Record.

"Mr. Hood has delineated Robert Hall very successfully. A wide range of knowledge, a fine instinctive perception, and considerable literary aptitude, make this memoir about the best delineation of the great preacher that we know."—British Quarterly Review.

VI.

THOMAS CHALMERS.

By Donald Fraser, D.D.

"Characterized by a true appreciation of Dr. Chalmers' character and work, and is written in a vigorous and interesting manner."—United Presbyterian Magazine.

"Dr. Fraser has evidently found the subject a congenial one, and he has treated it in a skilful and effective manner."—Rock.

VII.

WILLIAM CAREY.

By James Culross, D.D.

"The work has a special value in recording an important chapter of Anglo-Indian history. It seems to us very well written."—Academy.

"An excellent monograph on Carey. Dr. Culross has done his work well."—Athenæum.

"The little book has great literary excellence. Dr. Culross has taken no ordinary trouble in the collection of his material. He understands how to arrange it in felicitous style, and so to tell the story as to make it eminently attractive and useful to his readers."—Congregationalist.

VIII.

ANDREW FULLER.

By his Son, Andrew Gunton Fuller.

Letter from the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon to the Author:—

"Venerable Friend,—I thank you for sending me your 'Andrew Fuller.' If you have lived for a long time for nothing else but to produce this volume, you have lived to good purpose. I have long considered your father to be the greatest theologian of the century, and I do not know that your pages have made me think more highly of him as a divine than I had thought before. But I now see him within doors far more accurately, and see about the Christian man a soft radiance of tender love which had never been revealed to me either by former biographies, or by his writings. You have added the moss to the rose, and removed some of the thorns in the process. Yours most respectfully, C. H. Spurgeon."

"It is a remarkable production, when one remembers that Mr. Gunton Fuller is now eighty-two years of age, and he lost his father as far back as the year 1815. An excellent addition to Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton's series of 'Men Worth Remembering.'"—Christian World.

IX.

ALEXANDER DUFF, D.D., LL.D.

By Thomas Smith, D.D.

"Dr. Smith, who has enjoyed very intimate association with Duff, both in private life and in public work, has executed his task with much skill and fine sympathy."—Outlook.

"We heartily commend this compact and interesting little volume."—Evangelical Magazine.

"As an original study of a great man by one of his most intimate friends and co-workers, it would be impossible to speak too highly of this little volume."—Christian Leader.

X.

SAMUEL RUTHERFORD.

By Andrew Thomson, D.D., F.R.S.E., Edinburgh.

"The volume is written in a popular style, and contains all that is really needful to be known regarding Rutherford's career, character, and writings. Dr. Thomson has imparted vivacity to the narrative by visiting the localities where Rutherford lived. The author has produced a volume which, in respect at once of completeness, sustained interest, and freshness of interest, is unequalled by any preceding memoir of Rutherford."—Scotsman.

"An admirable and delightful biography, written with great literary grace and equally great spiritual sympathy. A most interesting account of religious Scotland as it was two hundred years ago."—British Messenger.

XI.

RICHARD BAXTER.

By the Very Rev. G. D. Boyle, M.A., Dean of Salisbury.

"The Dean of Salisbury has given in a popular form a trustworthy and attractive summary of a somewhat puzzling and complex personality and career. Mr. Boyle's estimate of Baxter's theological position is marked by a singular candour and liberality of sentiment. His presentation of fact is as accurate as his criticism is sound."—Academy.

"The biography of Richard Baxter by Dean Boyle is an intellectual feast. In it we have vivid pictures of the troublous times of the seventeenth century, and of course we get a particular account of the eminent Nonconformist, his religious convictions, his ministerial work, his sufferings under persecution, his trial before the terrible Chief Justice Jeffreys, the strong and the weak sides of his character, his political influence, his voluminous writings, his majestic prowess as a casuist, his yearning for a real and comprehensive unity amongst Christians, and, above all, his childlike resignation to God's will. All these topics are delightfully descanted upon by the Dean of Salisbury."—Clergyman's Magazine.

XII.

JOHN KNOX.

By Wm. M. Taylor, LL.D.

"A bold and vigorous sketch of the illustrious preacher, for whom a claim is made that 'if not pre-eminently the Scotchman of history,' he is certainly 'one of the three mightiest,' of 'the first three' of his nation."—Daily Chronicle.

"An admirable biography of John Knox. The volume forms the most compendious and trustworthy and, perhaps we may add, interesting memoir of the great reformer available to the general reader."—Liverpool Daily Post.
