“We cannot withhold the expression of our admiration of the style and elegance in which this work is got up.”—Press and St. James’ Chronicle.
“A departed author being dead yet speaketh in a way which will never be out of date; Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper, published by Messrs. Rivington, in bindings to suit all tastes and pockets.”—Church Review.
“We may here fitly record that Bishop Wilson on the Lord’s Supper has been issued in a new but unabridged form.”—Daily Telegraph.
INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVOUT LIFE. From the French of Saint Francis of Sales, Bishop and Prince of Geneva. A New Translation.
“A very beautiful edition of S. Francis de Sales’ ‘Devout Life:’ a prettier little edition for binding, type, and paper, of a very great book is not often seen.”—Church Review.
“The translation is a good one, and the volume is beautifully got up. It would serve admirably as a gift book to those who are able to appreciate so spiritual a writer as St. Francis.”—Church Times.
“It has been the food and hope of countless souls ever since its first appearance two centuries and a half ago, and it still ranks with Scupoli’s ‘Combattimento Spirituale,’ and Arvisenet’s ‘Memoriale Vitæ Sacerdotalis,’ as among the very best works of ascetic theology. We are glad to commend this careful and convenient version to our readers.”—Union Review.
“We should be curious to know by how many different hands ‘The Devout Life’ of S. Francis de Sales had been translated into English. At any rate, its popularity is so great that Messrs. Rivington have just issued another translation of it. The style is good, and the volume is of a most convenient size.”—John Bull.
“To readers of religious treatises, this volume will be highly valued. The ‘Introduction to the Devout Life’ is preceded by a sketch of the life of the author, and a dedicatory prayer of the author is also given.”—Public Opinion.
