Chapter XXI: Preface: The work, of which this is the first volume, has been

suggested by Nichols's well-known _Literary Anecdotes of the Eighteenth Century_. The editors hope to provide in it a considerable amount of fresh matter, illustrating the Life and work of British Authors in the Nineteenth Century. To a large extent they rely upon manuscript material, but use will be made of practically inaccessible texts, and of fugitive writings. While leading authors will receive due attention, much space will be devoted to the less-known writers of the period. It is intended to supply Biographies, Letters hitherto unpublished, additions from Manuscript sources to published works, together with a series of full Bibliographies of the writings of the greater authors. Every precaution has been taken to avoid the infringement of copyright, and the editors hope that they will be forgiven any involuntary transgression. Illustrations and numerous fac-similes will be provided in each volume. While only one thousand copies are to be printed, of which two hundred and fifty are for America, in no circumstances will a reprint be undertaken. The editors, however, reserve the right to issue separately any section of the work.

It is hoped that the second volume will be published in October, 1896.

"He has collected many beautiful things."--_Daily Chronicle_.

"We are not surprised that this new and dainty edition, in one handsome volume, is demanded.... Some of the most exquisite verses in this book are by singers whose praise is certainly not in all the churches, but there is, nevertheless, a deep and impressive unison in all the music."--_The Speaker_.

=A WINDOW IN THRUMS.= By J. M. BARRIE. Fourteenth
Edition. Crown 8vo, buckram, gilt top, 6_s._

"We think that this is the very best of the many good sketches of Scottish peasant life which we have ever read"--_Standard_.

"A very delightful book. The book should be read straight through, and then picked up at intervals and opened anywhere. Wherever it is opened it will please."--_Speaker_.

=2. AULD LICHT IDYLLS.= Tenth Edition. Crown 8vo,
buckram, gilt top, 6_s._

=LONDON IDYLLS.= By W. J. DAWSON. Second Thousand.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 5_s._

"A collection of stories of much promise. Mr. Dawson has a pleasant style, an easy command of effective expression, and he passes lightly from pathos to humour, or rather he can blend the two with no sensible transition."--_Times_.

"In 'London Idylls' W. J. Dawson has written a book that will be treasured. The poem, in which the author seeks to express the indefinable poetry of London, could only have been written by one very nearly attuned to the spirit, to the loves and passions, joys and sorrows of the world's greatest centre of romance. Of the idylls themselves little may be written to convey any real sense of their charm. The themes on which they turn are such as only London could have supplied. Than the first exquisitely rendered story--infinitely simple and tender--it is not too much to say that nothing more heartsearching has been written since the historian of Joe, the crossing-sweeper, laid down his pen. Dickens himself might have wept over it."--_Dundee Advertiser_.

Paton of Aniwa). Edited by her Brother-in-Law, Rev. JAMES
PATON, B.A. With Portrait, Map, and 23 Illustrations.
Third Edition. Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6_s._

"A very attractive piece of missionary literature, full of vivid descriptions of nature and life."--_Times_.

"A peculiar charm undoubtedly characterises these letters. They were written for members of Mrs. Paton's family and personal friends, without any thought of publication; and their literary grace is evidently natural and of the uncommon kind. They abound in homely touches and in hearty humour, while the unrestrained personal and domestic allusions afford valuable illustrations of a side of missionary life the existence of which is sometimes strangely ignored, and the value of which to the work is by some utterly denied."--_Church Missionary Intelligencer_.

Autobiography. Edited by his Brother, the Rev. JAMES
PATON, B.A. Popular Edition. Complete in One Volume.
Twentieth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth, 6_s._

"One of the best autobiographies we have ever read. It is candour itself, and bears the impress of truth on every page. It would take a very incorrigible Agnostic all his time not to fall in love with Dr. Paton and his noble work."--_Daily Chronicle_.

=THE STORY OF JOHN G. PATON=. Told for Young
Folks. By the Rev. JAMES PATON, B.A. With Forty-five
Full-page Illustrations by J. Finnemore. With Map. Fifteenth
Thousand. 8vo, cloth, 5_s._

"In the record of thirty years' good work amongst the South Sea cannibals, we have before us one of those missionary enterprises which read almost more strangely than fiction itself.... There are enough hairbreadth escapes and deeds of cool, if unostentatious, courage in these pages to stock half-a-dozen ordinary books, and the forty-five graphic illustrations add much to the attraction of the text."--_Daily Telegraph_.

=LIFE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI=. By PAUL
SABATIER. Translated from the French. Gilt top. New
Edition. Price 9_s._ net.

"M. Paul Sabatier is one of those men of letters, unhappily rare in France, in whom ripe learning and fine critical sagacity are not divorced from a reasonable Christian faith. Trained in the 'Faculté de Théologie Protestante de Paris,' he has grown into the most brilliant scholar of his Church. No commentary on the _Didache_, for instance, is more illuminating than the edition of that treasure-trove which he published in 1885. And now he has given us a 'Life of St. Francis' which may stand on the same shelf with Villari's 'Life of Savonarola.'"--_The Expositor_.

"We may cordially commend this translation. It is thoroughly well done, fluent and accurate, and nowhere betraying by idiomatic faultiness or even stiffness, that insufficient mastery of one or the other language which mars too many versions."--_Glasgow Herald_.

=OLD FARM FAIRIES.= A Summer Campaign in Brownieland
against King Cobweaver's Pixies. By HENRY CHRISTOPHER
MCCOOK, D.D. With 150 Illustrations. Crown 8vo,
cloth, 5_s._

"The story tells of a war between the Brownies and the spiders, and will interest a child by the oddity and strangeness (greater than a purely imaginative writer could conceive) of the devices of strategy and warfare to which the spiders resort. The illustrations to the book are partly fanciful, partly true to the nature of spider life.... A story so fresh in its idea, and so well worked out, is sure to please a young reader, and to lend a peculiar attraction to the study of natural history."--_Scotsman_.

_WORKS BY DR. THAIN DAVIDSON._

=1. A GOOD START.= Sixth Thousand. Crown 8vo, cloth,
3_s._ 6_d._

"Books which are confessedly and designedly 'improving' without being dull, are not very common. Such books Dr. Davidson has already proved his capacity to write, and these 'homely talks' with young men are not inferior to his previous efforts. Earnest and plain, and strictly adapted to the understanding of the ordinary man, they are never careless or meaningless."--_Academy_.

=2. SURE TO SUCCEED.= Eighth Thousand. Crown 8vo,

=4. THE CITY YOUTH.= Seventh Thousand. Crown 8vo,
cloth, 3_s._ 6_d._

"A volume well worthy to rank with his previous works on kindred subjects. Dr. Davidson's matter and manner are alike excellent. About the former there is no suspicion of what hasty people might call cant, while the latter is serious but not heavy. Dr. Davidson aims at no impossible standard; he is as sympathetic as he is acute, as kind as he is firm."--_Globe_.

=THE CATACOMBS OF ROME=, and their Testimony Relative
to Primitive Christianity. By the Rev. W. H. WITHROW, M.A.
Sixth Edition. 134 Illustrations. Crown 8vo; cloth, 6_s._

"Mr. Withrow's account of the catacombs of Rome is an exceedingly painstaking and thorough-going work, and whether or not the writer may be correct in all his inferences, they have evidently been founded upon diligent information. He could not have very much that was absolutely new to tell on the subject; but as a convenient account of the most remarkable and interesting monuments of primitive Christianity, of those excavations which furnished the persecuted Church with refuges during life and in death, which formed her places of worship in times of peril, and received the remains of martyrs, the present volume is perhaps inferior to none of its predecessors."--_Saturday Review_.

Happily, Mr. Thayer writes with vivacity, and knows how to select the picturesque and salient incidents, and in the majority of instances he has likewise the good sense to let it speak for itself."--_Speaker_.

=1. THE KEY OF THE GRAVE.= A Book for the Bereaved.
By W. ROBERTSON NICOLL, M.A., LL.D. Third Edition.

"Dr. Robertson Nicoll has produced a unique, exquisite, and most edifying book. We are much impressed by the delicate and profound spiritual insight manifested on every page of this beautiful little volume. Many a familiar passage in the Bible shines with a new, unexpected, and immortal light. It is difficult to know what to quote from a volume so full of delightful and memorable passages. It is pre-eminently a book to put into the hands of the refined, sensitive, scholarly, and devout, when they feel the awful pressure of the greatest bereavement."--_Methodist Times_.

=2. MEMORANDA SACRA.= By Professor J. RENDEL HARRIS,
M.A., Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge. Second Edition.

"Two gifts, both of the very highest, are marvellously united in Professor Rendel Harris, and here we have the ripe fruits of one, in most delicious flavour and most wholesome nourishment. It is not possible to review such a book as this. Words about it do not tell us what it is. Nor will a selection of words from it half convey its incommunicable fragrance."--_Expository Times_.

_THE GENERAL GORDON EDITION._

Norwich. Reprinted, with General Gordon's marks, from the
