the title of
The World’s Workers.
Mr. Archibald Forbes’
Life of Sir Henry Havelock
is one of the most fascinating works of its kind; the
Rev. H.C.G. Moule’s
Life of the Rev.
Charles Simeon is delightfully written and full
of interest, and the Rev. J.H. Overton’s
Life of Wesley gives an admirable picture in
brief of the great revival preacher. Further
particulars of the great and good Father Dainien can
be gathered from Mr. Edward Clifford’s work;
of Elizabeth Gilbert, from the Life by Frances Martin;
and of George Mueller, from the shilling autobiography
he has written, which is worthy of the deepest attention.
John Howard’s life has been well told by Mr.
Hepworth Dixon, Lord Shaftesbury’s by Mr. Edwin
Hodder, and Mr. Glaisher’s career is set forth
at large in
Travels in the Air. Perhaps
the largest and best collection of narratives of noble
lives is contained in Mr. Edwin Hodder’s
Heroes
of Britain in Peace and War, now issued in two
cheap volumes; from this many facts have been gathered.
In
The Memorials of Captain Hedley Vicars will
be found a thoughtful picture of that devoted life;
whilst in
The Life and Work of James Hannington,
by E.C. Dawson, a graphic narrative is given of
the martyr bishop of Central Africa.
Ismailia
affords a vivid picture of Sir Samuel Baker’s
life in the Soudan, and few books will give greater
pleasure to the reader than General Butler’s
Life of General Gordon. A Life of Mr.
W.H. Smith, by Sir H. Maxwell, has been recently
published in popular form.
The Lives of Robert and
Mary Moffat, by J.S. Moffat, will afford
much enjoyment, as will Miss Yonge’s
Life
of Bishop Patteson.
