Chapter XIX: Introduction: By the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, K.g

* * * * *

"We are informed that the Queen has graciously accepted a copy of
Mr. Weylland's new work, 'A Thought for the World,' and that Lady
Gainsborough has received Her Majesty's command to thank him for
it. Lord Shaftesbury has written a gratifying Introduction to the
book.... We notice in the Author's Preface a clever genealogical
sketch of national and international exhibitions, commencing with
the first, which was presided over by King Ahasuerus.... Scenes of
brilliancy and beauty are described with graphic pen. We consider
this a most valuable and well-timed publication."--_Record._

"This is a most interesting volume. In its pages we are told in a
very pleasing way, from personal knowledge and authentic sources,
the story of Christian effort in the Great Exhibitions of London,
Paris, Vienna, and of Philadelphia. There are good
illustrations."--_The Christian._

"His sketches are exceedingly interesting, and will not only serve
for the encouragement of others, but may prove very useful by
suggesting how those engaged in Christian work should go about it.
A recommendatory Preface is furnished by Lord Shaftesbury; but even
apart from this and on its own merits the book should find many
readers."--_The Rock._

"The work will prove suggestive and useful to Christian
workers."--_Watchman._

"The charm attached to the writings of Mr. Weylland has long been
acknowledged, and the power of description which have won such a
wide circulation for 'The Man with the Book,' and 'Round the
Tower,' appears again in his latest work. It is marked throughout
by a lively style, practical common sense, and the enunciation of
right principles."--_London City Mission Magazine._

_This Book is supplied to Subscribers of the_ LONDON CITY MISSION, _direct from Bridewell Place, E. C., for 3s. 6d., postage, 4d._
