“Dr. Cumming is the popular exponent of a school of prophetic interpretation, and on this score has established a claim to attention. His book furnishes an instructive collection of the many strange portents of our day. Dr. Cumming takes his facts very fairly. He has a case, and the gravity of the subject must command the attention of readers.”—Times, March 6.
“A deeply interesting work. We commend it to all who wish for able and honest assistance in understanding the signs of the times.”—Record.
“This book is intensely interesting from beginning to end, and is marked throughout by the same earnest and conscientious tone which characterises all Dr. Cumming’s writings on this, his favourite subject.”—London Scotsman.
LIFE AND REMAINS OF ROBERT LEE, D.D., F.R.S.E., Minister of Old Greyfriars, Dean of the Chapel Royal of Holyrood, and Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen. By Robert Herbert Story, Minister of Rosneath; with an Introductory Chapter by Mrs. Oliphant, author of “The Life of the Rev. Edward Irving,” &c. 2 vols. 8vo, with Portrait. 30s.
“We need make no apology to our readers for calling their attention to the life and writings of a man who, by the force and energy of his character, has left an indelible mark on the annals of his country. It is but a small thing for a man to leave a mere name behind him, even though that name be famous; it is a far higher merit to bequeath to posterity a living influence, and this Dr. Lee has certainly accomplished. We cordially commend the perusal of this book to everybody.”—Times.
SPIRITUAL WIVES. By W. Hepworth Dixon, Author of ‘New America,’ &c. Fourth Edition, with A New Preface. 2 vols. 8vo. With Portrait of the Author. 30s.
“Mr. Dixon has treated his subject in a philosophical spirit, and in his usual graphic manner. There is, to our thinking, more pernicious doctrine in one chapter of some of the sensational novels which find admirers in drawing-rooms and eulogists in the press than in the whole of Mr. Dixon’s interesting work.”—Examiner.
LUCREZIA BORGIA, Duchess of Ferrara; A Biography: Illustrated by Rare and Unpublished Documents. By William Gilbert. 2 vols. post 8vo, with Portrait. 21s.
“A very interesting study of the character of Lucrezia Borgia. Mr. Gilbert has done good service in carefully investigating the evidence on which the charges rest which have been brought against her, and his researches are likely to produce the more effect inasmuch as their results have been described in a manner likely to prove generally interesting. His clear and unaffected style is admirably adapted for biography. That Mr. Gilbert will succeed in amusing and interesting his readers may be safely predicted.”—Saturday Review.
