Dr. WILLIAM SMITH'S CHURCH DICTIONARIES.

**A DICTIONARY OF THE BIBLE:** COMPRISING ITS ANTIQUITIES, BIOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHY, AND NATURAL HISTORY. By Various Writers. Edited by WILLIAM SMITH, D.C.L., and LL.D. With Illustrations. 3 vols. Medium 8vo. £5 5s.

"Dr. Smith's 'Bible Dictionary' could not fail to take a very high place in English literature; for no similar work in our own or in any other language is for a moment to be compared with it."—*Quarterly Review*.

"By such a work as Dr. Smith's 'Bible Dictionary,' every man of intelligence may become his own commentator."—*Times*.

"A book of reference alike for scholar and student. The most complete, learned, and trustworthy work of the kind hitherto produced."—*Athenæum*.

II.

**A DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN ANTIQUITIES:** COMPRISING THE HISTORY, INSTITUTIONS, AND ANTIQUITIES OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. By Various Writers. Edited by WM. SMITH, D.C.L., and REV. PROFESSOR CHEETHAM, M.A. With Illustrations. Vol. I. (To be completed in 2 vols.) Medium 8vo. 31s. 6d. This Work commences at the point at which the "Dictionary of the Bible" leaves off, and gives an account of the Institutions of the Christian Church, from the time of the Apostles to the age of Charlemagne.

"This valuable dictionary brings within easy reach a vast mass of information, access to which has hitherto been restricted to a few, and it deserves to occupy a place in the libraries, not only of the clergy and of ministers of the various denominations, but of all educated laymen."—*Standard*. "We welcome with genuine pleasure the initiatory volume of this long-expected and long-desired work. Our first few glances at the articles surprised us into the confession that the thoroughness and completeness of its execution have exceeded our highest expectations. It distances all its compeers in its own line, whether German, French, or English."—*English Churchman*. III.

**A DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN BIOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, SECTS, AND DOCTRINES.** By Various Writers. Edited by WM. SMITH, D.C.L., and REV. PROFESSOR WACE, M.A. Vol. I. (To be completed in 3 vols.) Medium 8vo. 31s. 6d.

This Work is designed to give a comprehensive account of the Personal, the Literary, the Dogmatic, and the Ecclesiastical Life of the Church, during the first eight centuries of Christianity, and, in combination with the Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, it will afford, it is believed, the most complete collection of materials for the Church History of that period which has yet been published, either in England or abroad. "It is a great credit to English scholarship and English theology to have produced a work like this, full of the results of original and laborious study, which people on different sides of disputed questions, and differing in view possibly from the writers of the articles, may consult with so much confidence, that they will find sound and valuable information. The editors may with justice put forward the claim that they have made accessible to all educated persons a great mass of information hitherto only the privilege of students with the command of a large library."—*Times*.

A DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN ANTIQUITIES.

COMPRISING THE HISTORY, INSTITUTIONS, AND ANTIQUITIES OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. By VARIOUS WRITERS. Edited by WM. SMITH, D.C.L., and REV. PROFESSOR CHEETHAM, M.A. With Illustrations. Vol. I. (To be completed in 2 vols.) Medium 8vo. 31s. 6d. This Work commences at the point at which the "Dictionary of the Bible" leaves off, and gives an account of the Institutions of the Christian Church from the time of the Apostles to the age of Charlemagne.

"This valuable dictionary brings within easy reach a vast mass of information, access to which has hitherto been restricted to a few, and it deserves to occupy a place in the libraries, not only of the clergy and of ministers of the various denominations, but of all educated laymen."—Standard. "We welcome with genuine pleasure the initiatory volume of this long-expected and long-derived work. Our first few glances at the articles surprised us into the confession that the thoroughness and completeness of its execution have exceeded our highest expectations. It distances all its compeers in its own line, whether German French, or English."—English Churchman. A DICTIONARY OF CHRISTIAN BIOGRAPHY, LITERATURE, SECTS, AND DOCTRINES. By VARIOUS WRITERS. Edited by WM. SMITH, D.C.L., and REV. PROFESSOR WACE, M.A. Vol. I. (To be completed in 3 vols.) Medium 8vo. 31s. 6d.

This Work is designed to give a comprehensive account of the Personal, the Literary, the Dogmatic, and the Ecclesiastical Life of the Church during the first eight centuries of Christianity, and, in combination with the Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, it will afford, it is believed, the most complete collection of materials for the Church History of that period which has yet been published, either in England or abroad.

The editors may with justice put forward the claim that they have made accessible to all educated persons a great mass of information hitherto only the privilege of students with the command of a large library."—Times. "We not only admit the opportuneness of this enterprise, of which the first volume is before us, but we welcome it with acclamation. The conductors will confer a great benefit upon the English Church and clergy indeed, but specifically upon students whose knowledge is confined to their mother tongue, by projecting and carrying through a Dictionary of Christian Biography in which the same patient industry, the same scrupulous fairness, the same paramount regard for the interests of historical truth is maintained, as in previous members of this important series. For 'practical purposes,' as they say, the editors have produced one of the most useful works of this generation."—Church Quarterly Review. A HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, from the EARLIEST RECORDS to the FALL of the WESTERN EMPIRE, A.D. 476. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A., Author of "The Student's Old and New Testament History," &c. Fourth Edition, with Maps and Plans. 3 Vols. 8vo. 31s. 6d. "His points of transition are well chosen, and his wide and various panorama of principalities, powers, and dominions clearly arranged. He has availed himself liberally of the new lights thrown by recent discovery and philology upon the annals of the East; and in all that relates to the oriental empires and African kingdoms or republics, his work is far in advance of any Ancient History in our language." Saturday Review. "In relating not only all the leading events of the epochs here referred to, but also the remarkable incidents of the periods between the respective epochs, one great and rare power was required that of condensation. There are cases in which an historian not only has superabundance of materials, but he is bound to use them all. Such a case has existed here; and Mr. Smith has been equal to its exigencies. The style of the volumes is sustained with the equal tone of a single, able, unimpassioned, and dignified historian throughout."—Athenæum. THE STUDENT'S MANUAL OF OLD TESTAMENT HISTORY. From the Creation of the World to the Return of the Jews from Captivity. With an Introduction to the books of the Old Testament. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With Maps and numerous Woodcuts. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d. "Of our own land, as well as of Greece and Rome, we have histories of a scholar-like character; but Scripture history has not been so carefully or so fully treated before. It is not a little surprising that a subject of such universal importance and interest should have so long been disregarded. This work is very able and scholarly."—Wesleyan Times. THE STUDENT'S MANUAL OF NEW TESTAMENT HISTORY. With an Introduction, containing the connection of the Old and New Testaments. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With Maps and Woodcuts. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"These Manuals will no doubt obtain a wider circulation than the similar volumes on Greece or Rome, as the subject matter is of wider interest. We are glad to say that the tone is eminently reverential."—Churchman.

THE STUDENT'S ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE EAST. From the Earliest Times to the Conquest of Alexander the Great; including Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Media, Persia, Asia Minor, and Phoenicia. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. Woodcuts. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d. THEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS PUBLICATIONS. 7

FOR SCHOOLS AND YOUNG PERSONS.

A SMALLER ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE

EAST; from the Earliest Times to the Conquest of Alexander the Great. By PHILIP SMITH, B.A. With 70 Woodcuts. 16mo. 3s. 6d.

"This book is intended to supply the learner with some information respecting the Eastern nations, with which he comes in contact while reading the histories of Greece and Rome; and to set before the general reader a brief account of the course of ancient civilisation in its earliest seats. Besides this general purpose, the book is specially designed to aid the study of the Scriptures, by placing in their true historical relations those allusions to Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Phoenicia, and the Meda-Persian Empire, which form the back ground of the history of Israel from Abraham to Nehemiah. The present work is an indispensable adjunct of the 'Smaller Scripture History'; and the two have been written expressly to be used together."—Preface. A SMALLER SCRIPTURE HISTORY OF THE

OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, in Three Parts. I.—Old Testament History. II.—Connection of Old and New Testaments. III.—New Testament History to A.D. 70. Edited by WILLIAM SMITH, D.C.L. With 40 Illustrations. 16mo. 3s. 6d.

"This abridgment omits nothing of vital importance, and is presented in such a handy form that it cannot fail to become a valuable aid to the less learned Bible Student. Dr. Wm. Smith's labours are so well known that it is unnecessary to add more than that he has produced the best modern book of its kind on the best book of all days and all time." People's Magazine. "This work is intended for younger children, and contains a good summary of the histories of the Old and New Testaments, with a brief summary of the connecting period. There are a few notes, intended chiefly for the teacher. It is a perfectly marvellous work of condensation, containing as it does, in so small a space, such an immense amount of accurate information as to Scripture facts." John Bull. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH DURING THE FIRST

THREE CENTURIES. By the Rev. J. J. BLUNT, B.D., late Margaret Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. 5th Edition, 6s.

"The warmth with which he insists on the early and rapid spread of Christianity as a proof of its divine origin, the minute and ingenious learning with which he maintains it, the deep importance he attaches to it, recall forcibly to our minds a phase of discussion which had almost passed away in the ever shifting polemics of religion and infidelity."—Quarterly Review. THE HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

From the APOSTOLIC TIMES to the REFORMATION, 1517. By J. CRAIGIE ROBERTSON, M.A., Canon of Canterbury. Fifth Edition, revised. 8 Vols. Post 8vo. 6s. each.

"I cannot conceive, on a smaller scale, any work which would more guide students into a calm, impartial, candid view of the course of disturbed history and ecclesiastical politics, in former or in present times, than Canon Robertson's." Dean of Westminster. "Canon Robertson's work will always be esteemed as a text-book for the student, while the host of references with which he has studded his pages will be invaluable as a guide to the more advanced inquirer."—Saturday Review. "Canon Robertson's work has taken high rank as a standard authority, and has endured satisfactorily the ordeal of a searching criticism. From the nature of its subject, and the space of time it covers, it seems naturally to challenge competition with Dean Milman's 'History of Latin Christianity'; but, in truth, the two books are written from a different point of view, and may be regarded as meeting the wants of different classes of readers."—Scottish Guardian.

HISTORY OF LATIN CHRISTIANITY, including that of the Popes to the Pontificate of Nicholas V. By DEAN MILMAN. 9 Vols. Post 8vo. 54s.

"This work in fact, from beginning to end, will be co-extensive with the Great History of Gibbon. It was natural that a Christian and a clergyman should wish to accompany that wonderful performance through its whole course, and place the religion, which it so constantly misconceives, in a more favourable light; and it is creditable to the author that, with the sincerest attachment to Christianity, he should have accomplished his purpose in so fair and candid a spirit, and with such an exemption from professional bias."—Westminster Review.

"After a careful perusal of these lectures, the reader will know all about Gnosticism in its various phases of good and evil that he needs to know, and he will have gained his knowledge delightfully, owing to the skilfulness and lucidity of his teacher. There are royal roads to learning when such men as Dean Mansel construct them."—Scottish Guardian. "There is no English work to be compared with this either for scope or for precision, and we do not expect to see it superseded in our generation, if indeed it ever is superseded. It is a book to take its stand as a permanent contribution to the history of Christian thought, and will assuredly take its place in every theological library."—Literary Churchman.

THE NICENE AND APOSTLES' CREEDS. Their Literary History, together with some Account of the Growth and Reception of the Sermon on the Faith, commonly called "The Creed of St. Athanasius." By C. A. SWAINSON, D.D., Canon of Chichester and Norrisian Professor of Divinity at Cambridge. With Facsimile. 8vo. 16s. "The work of Canon Swainson must take a high place in the department of literature to which it belongs. Indeed, its value can scarcely be overrated. Henceforward it will be considered the book on the Athanasian Creed,—a standard treatise of permanent worth. Full of learning, breathing a fair and Catholic spirit, evidencing patient and long continued study, as well as a mastery of all details, it commends itself to the churchmen and the dissenter, to the ecclesiastical historian and theologian, as a compendium of facts and documents, a well-written text-book with which they cannot dispense."--Vilnorum. HISTORY OF THE POPES OF ROME: Political and Ecclesiastical. By LEOPOLD RANKE. Translated by Mrs. AUSTIN. Sixth Edition. 3 vols. 8vo. 30s.

"The best compliment that can be paid to Mr. Ranke is that each side has accused him of partiality to its opponent—the German Protestants complaining that his work is written in too Catholic a spirit, the Catholics declaring that, generally impartial as he is, it is clear to perceive the Protestant tendency of the history. It is more a history of the struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism than a history of the Popes alone, and the reader will here find a narrative compiled with extraordinary care and auteness, and written in a noble spirit of Christian benevolence that cannot fail to charm him."--Times. HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF FRANCE, FROM THE CONCORDAT OF BOLOGNA, 1516, TO THE REVOLUTION. With an Introduction. By W. HENLEY JERVIS, M.A., Prebendary of Heytesbury, and Author of the "Student's History of France." With Portraits. 2 vols. 8vo. 28s. "We do not say that Mr. Jervis is another Grote, but we do say that he has for the first time presented the history of the later French Church as a connected whole in an English dress, and with a mastery of detail and power of grouping and of graphic narration which completely carry the reader along with him throughout, and cannot fail to be most serviceable to the student. Mr. Jervis has supplied a real and important desideratum in English literature, and supplied it in a way which deserves grateful acknowledgment."—Saturday Review BOOK OF THE CHURCH.

"Although Mr. Cartwright's treatise is modestly entitled a 'Sketch,' and is chiefly devoted to exhibiting the great Society in its least favourable aspects, there are few books in the English language which contain so much useful and trustworthy information on the subject."—Saturday Review. "A more remarkable book than this on the subject of the Jesuits has never hitherto appeared. It is written with unimpassioned impartiality, and may be confidently submitted to the study of every sincere member of the Church of Rome, who at least does not approve of seeing their venerable pontiff the mere tool of a body of men who seek ends, here described, by means which Mr. Cartwright renders clear and intelligible."—Notes and Queries.

A Sketch of the CHURCH and the EMPIRE in the IVTH CENTURY: By REV. W. R. W. STEPHENS, M.A., Balliol Coll. Oxon., Vicar of Mid-Lavant, Sussex. With a Portrait. 8vo. 15s.

"Good books on the Christian Fathers are rare in English theology. With surprise therefore, as well as with pleasure, we have read this learned and able work on St. Chrysostom by an English scholar. Mr. Stephens writes clearly as well as learnedly, and his candour and good sense in the treatment of historical, no less than of theological, questions cannot be too highly praised. A far better idea of Chrysostom and his times may be gathered from his pages than from the more philosophical work of Neander."—Examiner. EIGHT MONTHS AT ROME, DURING THE VATICAN COUNCIL. By POMPONIO LETO. Translated from the Italian. With Appendix containing Original Documents. 8vo. 12s.

"A most fascinating book. It gives us the impressions of a resident at Rome during the eight months of the Vatican Council. His sympathies are altogether with the Liberal Roman Catholics. The book is full of true human interest, the descriptions are delightful reading, and the theological discussions are full of instruction."—Daily Review. "It is well known that the author is Marchese Francesco Nobili-Vitelleschi, brother to the late Cardinal Vitelleschi. The position of the writer accounted, in part, both for his accuracy and his moderation. The latter feature of his work strongly contrasts with the prevalent tone of the Italian press at the time of the Vatican Council. Vitelleschi is free both from indifference to all religion, and from hostility to Christianity."—Record. ROME AND THE NEWEST FASHIONS IN RELIGION. THREE TRACTS. By the RIGHT HON. W. E.

"This is a volume of more than ordinary interest. The books selected are well known, and favourites with large numbers of readers. The lecturers have all treated their respective subjects simply and practically, their aim having been to make these

"A valuable handbook for the young clergymen, and indeed for all 'parish priests' who do not consider themselves masters of their duty. The lectures exhibit the results of experience and much thought, those on the course of reading, or more properly of study, adapted to the clergymen display solid learning critically digested.

LECTURES ON THE RIGHT USE OF THE EARLY FATHERS. By REV. J. J. BLUNT. 8vo. 9s.

The object of this Work is to induce the theological student to turn his attention, next after Scripture, to the Primitive Fathers; not with blind allegiance as authorities to which he must in all things bow, but with such respect as is due to the only witnesses we have of the state and opinions of the Church immediately after the Apostles' times, and such as the Church of England herself encourages.

THE WITNESS OF THE PSALMS TO CHRIST AND CHRISTIANITY. BEING THE BAMPTON LECTURES FOR 1876. By W. ALEXANDER, D.D., Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe. 8vo. 10s. 6d.

"The Bishop of Derry's long-expected Bampton Lectures have been published at last; and no worthier contribution to theological literature has been made of recent years. The fine appreciation of the poet, the research of the scholar, and the fervour of the Christian theologian are conspicuous in its glowing pages. Bishop Alexander knows how to charm and delight while he instructs His style is rich, and yet not overloaded; it is eloquence, not rhetoric. The subtle sense of a poet's imagination pervades every page." - Scottish Guardian. "There can be no doubt that this volume—which is strikingly able and suggestive—will add to the already high reputation enjoyed by the Bishop of Derry. The author has focussed into one centre all the leading ideas in vogue upon the subject he has selected for treatment, and has surrounded the whole with a freshness and interest which cannot fail to procure for his lectures a sympathetic circle of readers." Manchester Courier. BENEDICITE; OR THE SONG OF THE THREE CHILDREN. Being ILLUSTRATIONS of the POWER, BENEFICIENCE, and DESIGN manifested by the CREATOR in HIS WORKS. By G. CHAPLIN CHILD, M.D. Tenth Thousand. Post 8vo. 6s.

"Taking the hymn, 'O all ye works of the Lord' as the motive of his book, the author has culled from the whole range of Science and natural history such facts as illustrate the power and wisdom and goodness of the Creator. It is a happy idea, very well carried out."—Church Builder. "A book marked by great beauty and simplicity of style, as well as scientific accuracy. Such books raise and ennoble the mind of the reader by familiarising it with the wonders of the earth and heavens, and inducing his whole spirit with the glory of the Architect, by whose Almighty word they were called into existence."—Quarterly Review. THE CONTINUITY OF SCRIPTURE, as declared by the TESTIMONY of our LORD and of the EVANGELISTS and APOSTLES. By LORD HATHERLEY. New Edition. 16mo. 2s. 6d. Or crown 8vo. 6s.

"Under a very moderate guise, this volume contains a condensed and forcible argument in support of the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures and of the truth of the Christian interpretation of them. Such a work deserves, for several reasons, an especial welcome. Lord Hatherley, at an anxious conjuncture in religious thought, has thrown his whole intellectual and moral authority on the side of the received faith. He has thus rendered the Church an immense service, and has earned from her a debt of deep gratitude."—Times. "We welcome this simple but most forcible testimony to the inspiration and authority of the Bible. We trust it may be widely circulated."—Record.

FOUNDATIONS OF RELIGION IN THE MIND AND HEART OF MAN. By SIR JOHN BYLES, late one of the Judges of H.M. Court of Common Pleas at Westminster. Post 8vo. 6s.

"Sir John Byles enables the reader to judge of the facts and arguments that have satisfied the author's mind as to the fundamental truths of the Christian religion: he has added nothing to what has been said before, but he has produced a trustworthy epitome of facts and reasoning that must be useful to others, and in a ripe and vigorous old age recorded his testimony for the fundamental truths of Christianity."—English Churchman. WORSHIP IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND. By A. J. B. BERESFORD-HOPE, M.P. 8vo. 9s. Or, Popular Selections from. 8vo. 2s. 6d.

"Mr. Beresford Hope's book is calm, temperate, and, to any fair mind, convincing: and it is excellently well arranged."—Literary Churchman.

"A seasonable as well as valuable contribution to the literature of the day."—Saturday Review.

"Mr. Hope is a man who has a right to be heard in the great Ritual controversy of the day."—English Independent.

"Mr. Hope has rightly judged that a layman's view of the present ritual difficulties might be useful, and we hasten to say that his book is as valuable as it is opportune."—Church Review.

THE SHADOWS OF A SICK ROOM. With Preface by CANON LIDDON. 16mo. 2s. 6d.

"A little book, evidently the production of a man of deep and thorough piety, yet so cultivated that his thoughts when lying sick unto death have thrown themselves into definite form, and shaped themselves into that older kind of statelier, or as some now-a-days say, of stiffer eloquence, to which we are accustomed in South, and in a few of those half-forgotten master-pieces of the English Church. The eloquence, however, is not artificial, but pours itself out, as it were, like poetry to a poet, the rational mode of expression of the mind when heated with a sense of the nearness of the Divine. There is in this volume much of the charm derived by so many minds from 'Il Penseroso.'"—Spectator. THEOLOGICAL AND RELIGIOUS PUBLICATIONS. 17

"With such a help as this, judiciously circulated in a country parish, much that so often shacks by its incongruity in 'God's Acre,' might be gently got rid of. Over and above, however, its more immediate object, the book has a value of its own. It is a choice collection of holy thoughts which the living may lay to heart with profit in anticipation of the grave." Christian Observer.

To which Mr. PEEK'S PRIZES were awarded by the Marquis of Salisbury, Rev. Dr. Hessey, and Rev. Dr. Vaughan. 8vo. 10s. 6d. "These admirable and vigorous essays require few words to introduce and recommend them to the great body of its members. They are all admirable in point of style, clearness of argument, and moderation of tone. The three Essays taken together may be fairly considered as exhaustive of the whole subject, and as furnishing a complete armoury of defence for future orators and writers." Standard. PROVERBS; OR, WORDS OF HUMAN WISDOM. Collected and Arranged. With Preface by CANON LIDDON. 16mo. 3s. 6d.

"The collection shows great judgment and wide reading. The book will take its stand among the most attractive of the season. It is a book for both the grave and the gay."—Church Herald.

Vol. VII.—WELSH CATHEDRALS.—LLANDAFF, ST. DAVID'S, ST. ASAPH'S, AND BANGOR. With 40 Illustrations. Post 8vo. 15s.

"Each cathedral has been described after careful personal examination. They are illustrated by engravings of the highest beauty and interest; most of them representing subjects or points of view which do not occur in Britton, executed for the most part by Mr. Jewitt." Quarterly Review. "This very attractive and valuable work may, indeed, be said to be by far the best guide-book to our Cathedrals. It is, in fact, a national work, as well as a Church work, and it is worthy of our Church and nation." English Churchman. "It would be difficult to find any work in which the author has so carefully and successfully condensed information. He has succeeded in giving a thorough and reliable history of each Cathedral, a scrupulously accurate and faithful description of each edifice, and a chronological narrative of the Bishops of each See." Kellogg. "This work is full of very valuable information, architectural, archaeological, historical, and artistic."—Saturday Review.

"Handbooks that should provide a concise but correct history of the several Cathedrals in this country have long been looked for, not only by antiquaries and architects, but by all men of art or of letters. The illustrations are the best of their kind."—Literary Churchman. "These volumes will prove a great boon to the architectural student; but they are so free from mere technical phraseology, and are so pleasantly written, that the general reader will be tempted to increase his knowledge of both the history and architecture of our great cathedrals."—John Bull.

**NINEVEH AND ITS REMAINS; A POPULAR ACCOUNT OF RESEARCHES AND DISCOVERIES AT NINEVEH, DURING AN EXPEDITION TO ASSYRIA IN 1845 7.** By A. H. LAYARD. With numerous Illustrations. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"This new edition has been carefully revised. Subsequent discoveries amongst the ruins of Nineveh, and the progress made in the interpretation of the cuneiform inscriptions, have enabled the Author to add to the text, and have led him to modify some of the views which were expressed in his original work. For the convenience of his readers he has added to the account of his visit to the Yezidis, or Devil-Worshippers, originally published in 'Nineveh and its Remains,' the narrative of subsequent visits to that curious sect, contained in his work entitled 'Nineveh and Babylon.' He has thus brought together all the information which he has been able to collect concerning them."—*Preface to the present edition.* **NINEVEH AND BABYLON: A POPULAR NARRATIVE OF A SECOND EXPEDITION TO ASSYRIA, 1849 51.** By A. H. LAYARD. With numerous Illustrations. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"This volume contains an abridgment of the narrative of my second expedition to Assyria and Babylonia, published in 1851, under the title of 'Nineveh and Babylon.' I have described, in the introduction, the principal discoveries on the site of Nineveh made after my return to England in the spring of 1851. Further researches among the ruins after my departure from Assyria, and the contents of the Cuneiform inscriptions as deciphered by English and French scholars, have added to our knowledge of the history, the language, and the arts of the ancient Assyrians and Babylonians, but they have not led me to modify, to any material extent, the views put forward in my original work. I have noticed in the following pages the most important results of the interpretation of the Assyrian inscriptions."—*Author's Preface.* "The various attempts that have been made to give popular descriptions of Mr. Layard's discoveries, have taught him the necessity of placing them in a *popular form* before the public."—*Economist.*

"It is with much pleasure that we introduce to our readers the most interesting contributions of the modern press. Such men as Mr. Layard deserve the gratitude of posterity."—*Evangelical Magazine.*

THE FIVE GREAT MONARCHIES OF THE

ANCIENT WORLD; OR THE HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, AND ANTIQUITIES OF ASSYRIA, BABYLONIA, CHALDEA, MEDIA, AND PERSIA. By GEORGE RAWLINSON, M.A., Canon of Canterbury, and Camden Professor of Ancient History at Oxford. Third Edition, with Maps and 600 illustrations. 3 vols. 8vo. 42. "Canon Rawlinson has placed within the reach of English readers all that we as yet know of those great fabrics of eastern power of which the names are so familiar to us, and which affected more or less directly the history in which we are most interested. He has taken the subject in hand fully and comprehensively, and with the advantage of discoveries which are new since Niebuhr." Saturday Review. "Professor Rawlinson's work well maintains the credit of the English scholarship, and while it lays open many curious records of the past, has a special value in its frequent elucidation and illustration of historical passages in Holy Writ." Record. THE LAND OF MOAB. TRAVELS AND DISCOVERIES

ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE DEAD SEA AND THE JORDAN. By the REV. H. B. TRISTRAM, LL.D., F.R.S., Canon of Durham, Author of "The Land of Israel," "Natural History of the Bible," &c. With Map and Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 15s. "Canon Tristram's party was ready for every emergency: however wild are the savages he meets, he has a missionary to spring on them who is familiar with their tongue and manners; he has a botanist for every shrub; and a photographer for every ruin. And besides all this, he is a host in himself naturalist, philologer, antiquary, geologist, Nimrod; he is equally ready with his gun and his fossil-hammer, his Bible or his Arabic; equally adept in solving the difficulties of Bedouin etiquette or stuffing a vulture, or determining a site. And besides all this, he carries a pen, and a very deft and ready pen, and when there is anything to tell he knows how to tell it; and so Moab has been reft from the domain of the unknown and unknowable, and lies all mapped out and photographed and described. Altogether the book is a very interesting one, and we can only hope future explorers will imitate Mr. Tristram's part in the zeal and thoroughness of its research." Saturday Review. JOURNAL OF RESEARCHES IN THE HOLY

LAND IN 1838 AND 1852. With Historical Illustrations. By EDWARD ROBINSON, D.D. Maps. 3 vols. 8vo. 42s.

"Robinson's 'Biblical Researches' has been our leading text book on the geography of Palestine for twenty years. Until Eli Smith and Edward Robinson began their travels in 1838, little had been done towards a survey of the Holy Land which could pretend to be at once scientific and historical. Together they rode through the country, noting its aspects, fixing its sites, laying down its wadies and watercourses, its deserts and mountains."—Athenæum. SINAI AND PALESTINE; IN CONNECTION

SIGNS AND WONDERS IN THE LAND OF

HAM. A DESCRIPTION OF THE TEN PLACUES OF EGYPT.

WITH ANCIENT AND MODERN PARALLELS AND ILLUSTRATIONS,

By REV. T. S. MILLINGTON, B.A. Post 8vo. 7s. 6d.

"Mr. Millington illustrates Egyptian life and manners from Herodotus, Pliny,

Plutarch, and ancient writers, and avails himself of every hint he can get from modern travellers, but his chief source of illustration is older than Herodotus himself. He finds it in the paintings, sculptures, papyri, and inscriptions upon which modern

Egyptologists have been so long at work. His book, which is agreeable and easy reading, is richly studded with good woodcuts. It is a capital Sunday book."

English Churchman.

"A good work, well done, and just the book for the parish lending library; but that is not all. We take it to be the fruit of a country clergyman's leisure hours. It will do much to popularise the results of the Egyptology of the present age. Those results are so many confirmations of the Mosaic record, and the fact is emphatically one to be brought forward. We trust the book will be widely circulated. Mr.

Millington has evidently given much thought to his task, and brought to it a considerable range of reading and an undoubted power of graphic description."

THE MODERN CUSTOMS AND MANNERS OF BIBLE LANDS, ILLUSTRATIVE OF SCRIPTURE. By HENRY VAN-LENNEP, D.D. With Coloured Maps and 300 Illustrations. 2 vols. 8vo. 21s.

"The illustrations are excellent, and the whole book is an attractive collection of those facts which so much add to the intellectual appreciation of the Holy Scriptures."—Guardian.

"Dr. Van-Lennep's work contains a mass of information on the manners and customs of Bible lands not readily accessible elsewhere."—Athenæum.

"It is impossible to over-estimate the value of Dr. Lennep's work. So intensely reliable are the statements, that the more its pages are studied, so much the more conclusive will it appear that a better help to the Holy Scriptures can scarcely be expected ever to appear."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. TRAVELS IN ASIA MINOR. With Observations on the State of Society, and a Description of Antiquarian Researches and Discoveries, together with an Account of Missionary Labours, Illustrations of Biblical Literature and Archaeology. By HENRY VAN-LENNEP, D.D., Thirty Years Resident in Turkey. With Map and Illustrations. 2 vols. Post 8vo. 24s. "Dr. Van-Lennep has written an interesting book respecting regions which, in the present day of geographical inquiry, do not receive the attention they deserve at the hands of either travellers or antiquaries. He confines his descriptions of scenery and remarks upon the people entirely to what he himself saw; and having a great deal of matter to narrate, he has not been under the necessity, like several different avellers, of eking out the substance of his information by referring to observations of other explorers, or by manufactured digressions of a scientific character."—R. 9th. THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS. Their Private Life, Government, Laws, Arts, Manufactures, Religion, Agriculture, Early History, &c.

"The students of Dr. Smith's admirable Dictionaries must have felt themselves in want of an Atlas constructed on the same scale of precise and minute information with the article they were reading. This want has at length been supplied by the superb work before us. The indices are full, the engraving is exquisite, and the delineation of the natural features very minute and beautiful. It may safely be pronounced and higher praise can scarcely be bestowed to be a worthy companion the volumes which it is intended to illustrate."—Guardian. "This Atlas is intended to be a companion to the Dictionary of the Bible and the Classical Dictionaries. The maps are all new; they have been constructed according to the highest and most recent authorities, and executed by the most eminent engravers. The artistic execution of this important and superb work is peerless. Each map is a picture. Their accuracy is of course beyond suspicion, although only continuous use can really test it."—British Quarterly Review. Whether large or small, we have certainly no such a thoroughly satisfactory set of Maps elsewhere: and this Atlas may almost claim an international value, for it has profited by both English and foreign help, and the Maps have been executed by the most eminent engravers both in London and Paris.
