SIR GEORGE BURNS, BART.: HIS TIMES AND FRIENDS. By Edwin Hodder, Author of "The Life and Work of the Seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G.," "The Life of Samuel Morley," etc. With Etched Portrait by Manesse. Now ready, 8vo, cloth, price 14s.
"Mr. Hodder, who is well, and in many respects favourably known by his biographies of Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. Samuel Morley, has found an equally congenial theme in the life of a man who had not a little in common with these two eminent philanthropists."—Times.
"The wonderful story of his rapid and remarkable rise from very small beginnings to the position of one of the greatest shipowners and philanthropists of the age is narrated compactly, discriminatingly, and skilfully. The volume abounds with racy anecdotes and interesting incidents relating to business men, literary men, ministers, philanthropists, scientists, soldiers, and statesmen with whom Sir George Burns was on terms of personal friendship."—Scotsman.
"A delightful book, abounding in interesting matter."—Liverpool Mercury.
PROFESSOR W. G. ELMSLIE, D.D. MEMOIRS AND SERMONS. Memoir by W. Robertson Nicoll, M.A., LL.D. With Reminiscences by Professor Marcus Dods, D.D., Professor Henry Drummond, Rev. John Smith, M.A., and Rev. James Stalker, D.D. Third Edition. With Portrait, crown 8vo, cloth, price 6s.
"Elmslie was too remarkable a man to be left without a memoir. He was too bright and genial a spirit to be buried in a ponderous biographical sarcophagus. Dr. Robertson Nicoll may be heartily congratulated on having produced a 'speaking portrait' of his friend. The presentation of him is, indeed, dramatic, with its keen strokes of characterisation, its rapid action, its bright succession of scenes, and the success with which it enables the reader to realise the man Elmslie, his achievements, his springs of action, the atmosphere and sunshine of his life, his speech, and almost, it seems, his play of feature."—Scotsman.
