"Here is the ideal book of travel in Spain; the book which exactly anticipates the requirements of everybody who is fortunate enough to be going to that enchanted land; the book which ably consoles those who are not so happy, by supplying the imagination from the daintiest and most delicious of its stores."—Spectator.
"Since the publication of 'Castilian Days,' by the American diplomat, Mr John Hay, no pleasanter or more readable sketches have fallen under our notice."—Athenæum.

MEMORIALS OF A QUIET LIFE.
WITH TWO STEEL PORTRAITS.
Twelfth Edition. Two Vols., Crown 8vo., 21s.
"The name of Hare is one deservedly to be honoured; and in these 'Memorials,' which are as true and satisfactory a biography as it is possible to write, the author places his readers in the heart of the family, and allows them to see the hidden sources of life and love by which it was nourished and sustained."—Athenæum.
"One of those books which it is impossible to read without pleasure. It conveys a sense of repose not unlike that which everybody must have felt out of service time in quiet little village churches. Its editor will receive the hearty thanks of every cultivated reader for these profoundly interesting 'Memorials' of two brothers, whose names and labours their universities and church have alike reason to cherish with affection and remember with pride, who have smoothed the path of faith to so many troubled wayfarers, strengthening the weary and confirming the weak."—Standard.
"The book is rich in insight and in contrast of character. It is varied and full of episodes, which few can fail to read with interest; and as exhibiting the sentiments and thoughts of a very influential circle of minds during a quarter of a century, it may be said to have a distinct historical value."—Nonconformist.
"A charming book, simply and gracefully recording the events of a simple and gracious life. Its connection with the beginning of a great movement in the English Church will make it to the thoughtful reader more profoundly suggestive than many biographies crowded and bustling with incident. It is almost the first of a class of books the Christian world just now greatly needs, as showing how the spiritual life was maintained amid the shaking of religious 'opinions'; how the life of the soul deepened as the thoughts of the mind broadened; and how, in their union, the two formed a volume of larger and more thoroughly vitalised Christian idea than the English people had witnessed for many days."—Glasgow Herald.
