A THOUGHT FOR THE WORLD;
OR,
THE NARRATIVE OF CHRISTIAN EFFORT IN GREAT EXHIBITIONS.
BY JOHN MATTHIAS WEYLLAND.
Introduction by the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, K.G.
"We are informed that the Queen has graciously accepted a copy of Mr. Weylland's new work, 'A Thought for the World,' and that Lady Gainsborough has received Her Majesty's command to thank him for it. Lord Shaftesbury has written a gratifying Introduction to the book.... We notice in the Author's Preface a clever genealogical sketch of national and international exhibitions, commencing with the first, which was presided over by King Ahasuerus.... Scenes of brilliancy and beauty are described with graphic pen. We consider this a most valuable and well-timed publication."—Record.
"This is a most interesting volume. In its pages we are told in a very pleasing way, from personal knowledge and authentic sources, the story of Christian effort in the Great Exhibitions of London, Paris, Vienna, and of Philadelphia. There are good illustrations."—The Christian.
"His sketches are exceedingly interesting, and will not only serve for the encouragement of others, but may prove very useful by suggesting how those engaged in Christian work should go about it. A recommendatory Preface is furnished by Lord Shaftesbury; but even apart from this and on its own merits the book should find many readers."—The Rock.
"The work will prove suggestive and useful to Christian workers."—Watchman.
"The charm attached to the writings of Mr. Weylland has long been acknowledged, and the power of description which have won such a wide circulation for 'The Man with the Book,' and 'Round the Tower,' appears again in his latest work. It is marked throughout by a lively style, practical common sense, and the enunciation of right principles."—London City Mission Magazine.
