EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS.

"This volume attests the devout spirit of the author, as well as his substantial orthodoxy. It is a pleasing memorial of one who combined strong attachments to the Anglican Church and her Formularies with a manly love of truth, uprightness with fervour of spirit, sensitiveness with depth of feeling."-Athenæum.

"The authorship of the volume gives it a special interest. It affords abundant evidence of the strong devotional feeling which possessed the writer, evidence confirmed by those who knew the man. The prayers are fervent and beautiful in no common degree."-Spectator.

"The prayers breathe the purest and most chastened piety, and it is a merit of the highest order that they are couched in the briefest language. It is impossible in a brief notice to give an adequate idea of the solemn beauty of the Litanies. They are in complete sympathy with the difficulties of our own day.

"No circumstance of peril, or temptation, or suffering, is overlooked in this collection. It is a complete manual for all who need help in putting their thoughts into words."-The Inquirer.

"The volume before us is a touching rebuke to Dr. Williams's callous critics. It shows him to have been, what his friends knew he was, a man of strongly emotional and religious temperament.

...

"The volume contains specimens of almost every variety of devotional composition; . . . they are characterized by all that affluence and variety of thought and grace of style which we should have expected from such a mind dealing with such subjects."-Scotsman.
