COLLOQUIA PERIPATETICA. By the late JOHN DUNCAN, LL.D., Professor of Hebrew in the New College, Edinburgh; being Conversations in Philosophy, Theology, and Religion. Edited by Rev. W. Knight. Third Edition. I vol. fcap. 8vo. Price 3s. 6d.
“Since these lectures were published there has appeared an exceedingly interesting volume, entitled ‘Colloquia Peripatetica,’ by the late John Duncan, LL.D., Professor of Hebrew in the New College, Edinburgh. These Colloquies are reported by the Rev. William Knight, who seems to be admirably adapted for the task he has undertaken. His friend must have been a man of rare originality, varied culture, great vigour in expressing thoughts, which were worthy to be expressed and remembered.... The reader who shall give himself the benefit and gratification of studying this short volume (it will suggest more to him than many of ten times its size) will find that I have not been bribed to speak well of it by any praise which Dr. Duncan has bestowed on me. The only excuse for alluding to it is, that it contains the severest censure on my writings which they have ever incurred, though they have not been so unfortunate as to escape censure.... Against any ordinary criticism, even a writer who is naturally thin-skinned becomes by degrees tolerably hardened. One proceeding from a man of such learning and worth as Dr. Duncan I have thought it a duty to notice.”—Extract from Preface to ‘The Conscience.’ By the late Professor F. D. Maurice.

“We cannot help wishing that such notice more frequently introduced to our readers a volume of Church of England sermons. Still, looking beyond our pale, we rejoice notwithstanding.
“Mr. Ker has dug boldly and diligently into the vein which Robertson opened; but the result, as compared with that of the first miner, is as the product of skilled machinery set against that of the vigorous unaided arm. There is no roughness, no sense of labour; all comes smoothly and regularly on the page—one thought evoked out of another. As Robertson strikes the rock with his tool, unlooked-for sparkles tempt him on; the workman exults in his discovery; behind each beautiful, strange thought, there is yet another more strange and beautiful still. Whereas, in this work, every beautiful thought has its way prepared, and every strange thought loses its power of starting by the exquisite harmony of its setting. Robertson’s is the glitter of the ore on the bank; Ker’s is the uniform shining of the wrought metal. We have not seen a volume of sermons for many a day which will so thoroughly repay both purchase and perusal and re-perusal. And not the least merit of these sermons is, that they are eminently suggestive.”—Contemporary Review.
“The sermons before us are indeed of no common order; among a host of competitors they occupy a high class—we were about to say the highest class—whether viewed in point of composition, or thought, or treatment.
“He has gone down in the diving-bell of a sound Christian philosophy, to the very depth of his theme, and has brought up treasures of the richest and most recherché character, practically showing the truth of his own remarks in the preface, ‘that there is no department of thought or action which cannot be touched by that gospel which is the manifold wisdom of God.’ These subjects he has exhibited in a style corresponding to their brilliancy and profoundness—terse and telling, elegant and captivating, yet totally unlike the tinsel ornaments laid upon the subject by an elaborate process of manipulation—a style which is the outcome of the sentiment and feelings within, shaping itself in appropriate drapery.”—British and Foreign Evangelical Review.

6. Fairy Nightcaps.
“Neither a single story nor a batch of tales in a single volume, but a box of six pretty little books of choice fiction, is Aunt Fanny’s contribution to the new supply of literary toys for the next children’s season. Imagine the delight of a little girl who, through the munificence of mamma or godmamma, finds herself possessor of Aunt Fanny’s tastefully-decorated box. Conceive the exultation with which, on raising the lid, she discovers that it contains six whole and separate volumes, and then say, you grown-up folk, whose pockets are bursting with florins, whether you do not think that a few of your pieces of white money would be well laid out in purchasing such pleasure for the tiny damsels of your acquaintance, who like to be sent to bed with the fancies of a pleasant story-teller clothing their sleepy heads with nightcaps of dreamy contentment. The only objection we can make to the quality and fashion of Aunt Fanny’s Nightcaps is, that some of their joyous notions are more calculated to keep infantile wearers awake all night than to dispose them to slumber. As nightcaps for the daytime, however, they are, one and all, excellent.”—Athenæum.

“An exceedingly valuable contribution to theological literature. The history begins no earlier than the Middle Ages; since he considers that in earlier times, while the theory of a price paid to Satan was current, there was no real theology on the subject. A more thorough historical study of the doctrine of the Atonement, and a correct understanding and appreciation of the various forms it has assumed in different schools, are very much needed in this country.”—British and Foreign Evangelical Review.

“That venerable Dean, who is an absolute impersonation of the ‘reminiscences’ of all the Scottish Churches, who in his largeness of heart embraces them all, and in his steadfast friendship, his generous championship of forgotten truths and of unpopular causes, proves himself to be in every sense the inheritor of the noble Scottish name which he so worthily bears.”—Dean Stanley’s Lectures on the Church of Scotland.

The Doctrine of Christ Developed by the Apostles: a Treatise on the Offices of the Redeemer, and the Doxology of the Redeemer. By Rev. EDWARD STEANE, D.D. 8vo, Price 10s. 6d.
“I have now attentively, and with great pleasure, perused your volume, and I desire to express my sincere thankfulness to God and to you for so timely a publication.”—J. H. Hinton, M.A.
“We have read this volume with more than ordinary pleasure. In the midst of so much in modern theological literature that is objectionable or doubtful, it is refreshing to meet with a clear, manly, outspoken exposition of those great evangelical doctrines which are in danger of being less ‘commonly believed among us’ than they were among our fathers. The style of the whole book is clear, free, and vigorous; it is characterised by a tone of sustained eloquence which reminds us more of the style of Dr. Chalmers than anything we have read for a long time.”—Wesleyan Methodist Magazine.
“The style is graceful and flowing, the spirit devout and tender, and the theology of the Puritan type.”—General Baptist Magazine.
“Here there is no uncertain sound on the doctrine of substitution and of expiatory sacrifice, nor on that which Luther called ‘Articulus stantis vel cadentis ecclesiæ,’ the great doctrine of justification by faith.”—Daily Review.
“In our judgment, a more valuable contribution in a single volume to the exposition, defence, and illustration of evangelical truth has not been often made. Thoughtful educated Christian laymen, students, and young ministers, will read it with equal pleasure and profit.”—The Literary World.
“A handsome welcome book, full of the old Gospel, and rich in tenderness and feeling, the ripe fruit of an honoured and green old age. The work is conscientiously and lovingly done, and the result is a treatise on the Prophetic, Priestly, and Kingly Offices of Our Lord such as will give to all readers much intelligent thought and much holy and suggestive sentiment. The text gives proof of careful study and ample scholarship, and it is further enriched with notes taken from recent Biblical criticism.”—The Freeman.

He is a lucid and agreeable writer, a profound metaphysician, and by his able translations from the German has proved his grasp of mind and wide acquaintance with philosophical speculation.”—Examiner.

“‘Taine’s History of English Literature’ shows a sounder appreciation of the spirit of our literature, and is a better exponent of its growth from stage to stage, and of the minute characteristics of each stage, than any of the numerous summaries and outline histories that have been produced by Englishmen.... Of the general method pursued by M. Taine in this work we cannot speak too highly.... We are bound to bear testimony at once to the very great ability with which M. Van Laun has translated the work.”—The Examiner.
“Taine’s short chapter on Chaucer is thoroughly well worth reading.... His chapter on our dramatic literature is particularly noteworthy.... A better exposition of the nature and ramifications of Shakspeare’s genius could hardly be looked for within the limits of a moderately short chapter.”—The Examiner.
“M. van Laun has done a difficult task admirably well, by translating into the English of a scholar one of the most brilliant books that France has produced for years.... The analysis of a consummate critic and a brilliant rhetorician ... with as true a sympathy as if all his life he had breathed the intellectual air of England.”—The Spectator.
