"They are noble sermons; and we are not sure but that, with the cultivated reader, they will gain rather than lose by being read, not heard.

(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._

half-bound morocco.
"Is probably the best work of the kind now published."--_Times._
"Not only are the present territorial adjustments duly registered in all these maps, but the latest discoveries in Central Asia, in Africa, and America have been delineated with laborious fidelity. Indeed the ample illustration of recent discovery, and of the great groups of dependencies on the British Crown, renders Dr Johnston's the best of all Atlases for English use."--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"He has given us in a portable form geography posted to the last discovery and the last Revolution."--_Saturday Review._
"This is Mr Keith Johnston's admirable Royal Atlas diminished in bulk and scale so as to be perhaps, fairly entitled to the name of 'handy,' but still not so much diminished but what it constitutes an accurate and useful general Atlas for ordinary households."--_Spectator._
"The 'Handy Atlas' is thoroughly deserving of its name. Not only does it contain the latest information, but its size and arrangement render it perfect as a book of reference."--_Standard._
=THE HANDY HORSE-BOOK=;
OR, PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS IN RIDING, DRIVING, AND THE GENERAL CARE
AND MANAGEMENT OF HORSES. By a CAVALRY OFFICER. A New Edition, with

=GEOLOGY FOR GENERAL READERS.=
A SERIES OF POPULAR SKETCHES IN GEOLOGY AND PALÆONTOLOGY. By DAVID
PAGE, LL.D. F.R.S.E. F.G.S. Second Edition, containing several New
Chapters. Price 6s.
"Few of our handbooks of popular science can be said to have greater or more decisive merit than those of Mr Page on Geology and Palæontology. They are clear and vigorous in style, they never oppress the reader with a pedantic display of learning, nor overwhelm him with a pompous and superfluous terminology; and they have the happy art of taking him straightway to the face of nature herself, instead of leading him by the tortuous and bewildering paths of technical system and artificial classification."--_Saturday Review._
"This is one of the best of Mr Page's many good books. It is written in a flowing popular style. Without illustration or any extraneous aid, the narrative must prove attractive to any intelligent reader."--_Geological Magazine._
=HANDY BOOK OF THE FLOWER GARDEN=,

Edited by SIR ALEX. GRANT and PROFESSOR LUSHINGTON. 2 vols. post
8vo, 24s.
"These lectures, in so far as they treat of Greek philosophy down to Plato, have been carefully elaborated, and are of much value--of higher value, indeed, than any writings on the same subject in the English language; and in point of clearness, depth, and resolute search after truth, and tenacious hold of it when found, we doubt if they are surpassed in any language.... For our part, we do not know any philosophical writings so fascinating to a young student of philosophy as these early pages."--_Scotsman._
