Peeps at the Far East.
A Familiar Account of a Visit to India. By Norman Macleod, D.D. With numerous Illustrations. Second Thousand. Small 4to, cloth gilt extra, 21s.
“It would be difficult to point out in our popular literature a book which in anything like the same compass conveys so full or so instructive a knowledge of British India. Dr. Macleod has the gift of insight into character, and in his intercourse both with natives and European residents never fails to establish a kind of freemasonry, and to draw out the material of thought and subsequent reflection. His work has thus an inner depth and a philosophical value beyond that of a mere record of travel.”—Saturday Review.
Through Normandy.
By Mrs. Macquoid, Author of “Patty,” &c. With 90 Illustrations. Second Edition. Crown 8vo, 12s.
“Written in a cheerful spirit, it leaves a bright and pleasant impression upon the mind; and while those who already know Normandy will recognise the truth of her descriptions, and sympathize with her enthusiasm, those who are yet in ignorance of its attractions may be stirred by Mrs. Macquoid’s advocacy to the amendment of their education.”—Saturday Review.
“The illustrations are excellent.”—Athenæum.
The Philosophy of the Conditioned:
Sir William Hamilton and John Stuart Mill. By the late H. L. Mansel, D.D., Dean of St. Paul’s. Post 8vo, 6s.
“This volume is distinguished by the same clearness of style, cogency of argument, accuracy of information, and mastery of the subjects, which characterize all the other valuable productions of the author, and is on the points criticized a most successful as well as a most unsparing exposure of Mill’s manifold errors.”—British Quarterly Review.
The Human Intellect.
With an Introduction upon Psychology and the Soul. By Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D., President of Yale College. Demy 8vo, 16s.
“In this book the best philosophical thinking of our day may be said to culminate. Not only is it by far the ablest psychological work that America has yet produced, it is unique among ourselves in its completeness and ability. It is a work of which any school or country might be proud, and its form as a manual makes it invaluable to students.”—British Quarterly Review.
“Dr. Porter’s work presents us with a more complete and impartial survey of this whole region of inquiry than has ever before been offered to the student. A man might appeal to such a work as a worthy product of a life.”—Blackwood’s Magazine.
Westward by Rail.
A Journey to San Francisco and Back, and a Visit to the Mormons. By W. F. Rae, Author of “Wilkes, Sheridan, Fox,” &c. With Map. Third and Cheaper Edition. Small 8vo, 4s. 6d.
“Mr. Rae unites the power of a keen and thoughtful observer with the skill and tact of a graphic delineator. The evident candour and singleness of purpose with which he writes make him a trustworthy guide for those who would weigh aright the inducements for or against the longest continuous land journey as yet opened upon our planet.”—Saturday Review.
“At once the most modern and the most reliable authority on the increasingly important subjects with which it deals.”—Westminster Review.
