Letters from Abroad.
By Dean Alford. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d.
“As the season approaches, and the highway of Italian travel will be thronged again, we are sure readers who contemplate a trip to Rome and the South, to Central or Northern Italy, will find him a kind, genial, and entertaining companion, who will show them what to see, and how to see it. At any time, stay-at-home travellers will read the volume with interest, and the descriptions of the sins and shames of Rome—still pagan Rome—will, we trust, confirm in many minds a hearty determination to resist the advent of Romish imposture in our own country.”—Eclectic Review.
The Reign of Law.
By the Duke of Argyll. Crown 8vo, 6s. People’s Edition (sixteenth), limp cloth, 2s. 6d.
“There are few books in which a thoughtful reader will find more that he will desire to remember.”—Times.
“Shows a breadth of thought, a freedom from prejudice, and a power of clear exposition rare in all ages and all countries. It is as unanswerable as it is attractive.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“A masterly book.... Strong, sound, mature, able thought from its first page to its last.”—Spectator.
Primeval Man.
An Examination of Some Recent Speculations. By the Duke of Argyll. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, 4s. 6d.
“This is perhaps the most clear, graceful, pointed, and precise piece of ethical reasoning published for a quarter of a century. Its great end is to show that it is impossible to pursue any investigation of man’s history from the purely physical side. Its reasoning seems as absolutely conclusive against the upholders of the ‘natural selection’ theory. The book is worthy of a place in every library, as skilfully popularising science, and yet sacrificing nothing either of its dignity or of its usefulness.”—Nonconformist.
Iona.
By the Duke of Argyll. With Illustrations. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.
“Pleasantly and unaffectedly written, it is well fitted to discharge what we take to be the main object of such a work, that of guiding people to a subject and setting them to think about it. We are not ashamed to confess that we put down the Duke’s little book with a wish to know more about Iona and St. Columba than we knew when we began it. We thank him for a pretty little book.”—Saturday Review.
