=The Christian Ministry=: Its Origin, Constitution, Nature, and Work. A Contribution to Pastoral Theology. By the Very Rev. WILLIAM LEFROY, D.D., Dean of Norwich. In one Volume, 8vo, cloth, 14s.
"This is, in every sense of the word, a timely book.... From the importance of the themes which it embraces, Dean Lefroy's book is one that should be of great value."--_Record._
"In presenting his own views, which he does with remarkable power and in the most lucid way, the author has occasion to controvert the opinions of several recent writers, a duty which he performs with great ability, fairness, and unvarying courtesy. These lectures are by no means dry or dull reading; they are lightened up by many passages of chastened eloquence; they show ripe scholarship, and a thorough mastery of materials by which a judgment is to be formed."--_Scotsman._
=Memorials of Edwin Hatch, D.D.= Edited by HIS BROTHER. In crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d.
"There is noticeable throughout them a sincerity, a strong affection, and sureness of faith; a tender-heartedness and sympathy for the lot of the poor and suffering which is real and often touching. His best sermons are his simplest, and his power shows itself most surely when he is dealing with matters of character and the conduct of life."--_Spectator._
=The Growth of Church Institutions.= By Rev. EDWIN HATCH, D.D. Second Edition. In crown 8vo, 5s.
"Standing quite by itself as a solid result of individual search, a book stiff with significant facts and bursting with inferences."--_Expositor._
=Towards Fields of Light. Sacred Poems.= By the Same Author. Cloth, gilt edges, crown 8vo, 2s. 6d.
"They are exquisitely beautiful."--_Church Review._

=Professor W. G. Elmslie, D.D. Memoir and Sermons.= With Portrait. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6s.
Memoir by W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D. With Reminiscences by Professor MARCUS DODS, D.D., Professor HENRY DRUMMOND, Rev. JOHN SMITH, M.A., and Rev. JAMES STALKER, D.D.
"In more ways than one this volume is full of interest. Dr. Robertson Nicoll has outlined the personal career of the Professor of Hebrew for his pupils, and of the Presbyterian minister for his disciples, whether directly or indirectly under his charge; but, in supplying them with an admirable selection of memorable words, has given a wider public the opportunity of making acquaintance with the thoughtful life of an original religious mind. The value of the portrait--for it should be valuable to those working for and with others in the spiritual struggles of the age--lies in the inspiration it should give to young thinkers in the Christian Church. In these selections we have little that is not truly catholic in spirit. We do not mean that Professor Elmslie's papers are in any way of classic rank, but we do mean that they tell us of those serene depths over which roll the waves of this troublesome world, powerless to affect their calm. It is impossible by extracts to give an idea of the impression of strength made upon one by what are, after all, only popular sermons and surface-papers; but we think some will thank us for calling attention to what we point to as typical of a young teaching spirit of our own time in its sensitive perceptiveness and practical administrative activity."--_Spectator._
