COUNT MONTALEMBERT'S HISTORY OF THE MONKS OF THE WEST.
5 vols. 8vo, £2, 12s. 6d. The volumes just published (III. to V.) contain the History of the Conversion of England by the Monks, and may be had as a complete book, price 31s. 6d.
"On the whole, the intellectual interest of the Count's 'Monks of the West' rests mainly on this, that it is the work of a brilliant and accomplished layman and man of the world, dealing with a class of characters who have generally been left to the arid professional handling of ecclesiastical writers. Montalembert sees their life as a whole, and a human whole; and, with all his zeal as an amateur hagiographer, he cannot but view them with some of the independence of a mind trained to letters and politics."—Pall Mall Gazette.
