“The life and character of Bunyan stand out in bold relief, and for the first time the author of the ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ is portrayed as he really existed.”—Westminster Review.
POPE. By Leslie Stephen. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“The sketch of Pope’s life which Mr. Leslie Stephen has written is interesting throughout.... A work which one can only lay down with a wish to have a good deal more on the same subject from the same hand.”—Academy.
BYRON. By Professor Nichol. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“Decidedly one of the most careful and valuable of the whole series. When a book is as good as Professor Nichol’s, there is little to be said about it, except to recommend it as widely as may be.”—Athenæum.
COWPER. By Goldwin Smith. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“Mr. Goldwin Smith has sketched in a few decisive touches the genius of the poet and the weakness of the man.”—Daily News.
LOCKE. By Professor Fowler. Crown 8vo. 2s. 6d.
“In the case of Locke’s biographer, we venture to say that Mr. Morley has been exceptionally fortunate. A pen more competent than Professor Fowler’s for this particular work might have been sought, and sought in vain.”—Examiner.
