BALDWIN BROWN, B.A. "Notwithstanding Mr. Hinton's severe, almost harsh criticism, it may be doubted whether, on the whole, Mr. Brown's theological views substantially differ from his own. There may be occasional looseness of phraseology, and some inconsistencies of expression, but such a book ought to be judged rather by its entire scope than by detached passages from sermons-intended to illustrate some special views of Divine truth-being submitted to the ordeal of theological dissection. To a great extent Mr. Hinton is, we verily believe, only examining the other side of the same shield which Mr. Brown holds up to view. It may be a defect in theological acuteness which permits us, after reading these strictures, to find in the book a broad and elevated view of The Divine Life in Man,' which warms and expands the spiritual life."— Nonconformist. "Knowing, as the discriminating reader does, that the excellence of modern printed sermons is in inverse proportion to their multitude, he will not allow these to escape him without a recognition of their superior merit."-Homilist. "They deserve to be ranked among the very noblest productions of pulpit eloquence which have appearel for many years. Scarcely less suggestive than Robertson, Mr. Brown has more glow and artistic finish; with more thought and vigour than Caird, he has equal richness of diction; free from the glitter and pyrotechnic display, which at first dazzle, and at last weary, in Guthrie, he has a power hardly inferior to his of levying contributions on all the realms of history, nature, and art, for the illustration of spiritual truth. In a word, this volume of discourses on the Divine Life' presents us with a variety of excellences rarely found in combination."-Baptist Magazine. "No candid and just mind can do otherwise than respect and admire Mr. Brown for the publication of this book. His high and refined culture, his eloquent diction, his devout and earnest spirit, all serve to strengthen the conviction that here is a man who ought to be, and must be heard; a man of quick intellect and brave heart, who may say wrong things, but will oftener say right ones; and for whom, upon the whole, we ought to be very grateful to God as one of Ilis precious gifts to our age."---The Freeman. "His discourses are full of the reality of life. The preacher never forgets that he has before him men and women to whom Providence has assigned strong and living interests in two worlds, divided by the slightest partitions. His words are those of a true child of the age---one who has fought his way through all that is now interesting and disturbing the minds of men."-Daily News. "The volume is a noble monument of pure, original, independent and elevated thought, expressed in language alike remarkable for its simplicity and its eloquence, its transparency and strength."-Scottish Review. "Fresh, free, outspoken, yet full of love, these Discourses are alive with the spirit of Evangelical Christianity. Would to God we had ten thousand such earnest, Catholic, and honest preachers, as Mr. Brown."-Christian Spectator. "The sermons are all eminently practical, and address themselves to the heart, as they command the attention of the reader. As a compendium of practical Christian doctrine, they merit a high place amongst the theological works of the day."---National Standard. In One Vol., price 6s. 6d., Cloth. FARQUHAR FRANKHEART; or, Incidents in the Introduction of Methodism into Yorkshire. A Tale. By the Author of " Orphan Upton," "The Heirs of the Farmstead," &c. There are few periods in the history of Yorkshire more interesting than that which witnessed the commencement and establishment of Methodism in the county. Polite prejudice intrigued against it, whilst honest violence opposed it in open riot. Some of those schemes and outbreaks have been woven into this Tale with strict fidelity to truth, by one who has had access to peculiar sources of information regarding the events narrated, and the characters sketched. An eminent critic to whom the MS. has been submitted, says of the work," It is characterized by very remarkable dramatic force and humour," and "is pervaded by a spirit of deep religious truthfulness."
