*.* The NEW LIFE is by W.J. COURTHOPE.
“This excellent edition of Pope supersedes all its predecessors, and to a study of Pope’s life and works is absolutely indispensable. All that is valuable in the notes of previous editors is preserved. The new Prefaces and Notes contain an extraordinary amount of information, much of which appears for the first time. It is impossible to praise too highly the patient care and painstaking industry with which facts are sifted, omissions supplied, errors corrected.”—Edinburgh Review.
“Though the life and works of the poet will still continue to be the battle-ground of students of English literature, no combatant can regard himself as adequately equipped for the contest who has not studied the suggestive criticism both of Pope’s poetry and character, which is contained in Volume V. of this monumental edition.”—The Quarterly Review.

“His (Prof. Pritchard) thoughts on such a subject must command attention, and these essays will well repay it.... Theologians are discussed here, by one who is both theologian and philosopher, with great learning and breadth of view and with equal courage and honesty.—Scotsman.
“Anything from Professor Pritchard’s pen is sure to be received with thankfulness all round. This volume is in reality a series of discourses which he has given at various times and in divers places to the British Association, the Church Congress, &c. The book is distinguished by a fine and delicate fibre of originality and thoughtfulness, and is also very delightfully written.”—Science Gossip.

THE WITNESS OF THE PSALMS TO CHRIST AND CHRISTIANITY.
By W. ALEXANDER, D.D., Lord Bishop of Derry and Raphoe.
Third Edition, revised. Crown 8vo. 9s.
“We thank the author for his beautiful and valuable treatise, which will open new views to many a pious student, give definiteness to the aspirations of many a devout soul, and be the means, we doubt not, of encouraging a more intelligent use of that Psalter which forms so large a part of our daily prayer and praise, and which is the best interpreter of the wants and feelings of the human soul, its deepest depths of grief, and its fullest and highest intuitions.”—Literary Churchman.
