An etymological and biographical appendix constitutes a very valuable feature of the work."-Birmingham Daily Post.

PAULI.-PICTURES of OLD ENGLAND. By Dr. REINHOLD PAULI. Translated by E. C. OTTE. Crown 8vo. 8s. 6d.

A sketch at once so faithful and so picturesque of our mediæval life and manners... For a general view of the literature and state system of our country, of the rise and history of parliaments, together with a sufficiently minute description of our old social life, we hardly know any manual that excels the present. It seems to be well suited not as a class-book, but as a preparation for the competitive examinations.”—Christian Remembrancer.

THE ELEMENTS of GRAMMAR taught in ENGLISH.
With Questions. Fourth Edition.
18mo. 25.

THE CHILD'S GRAMMAR. Being the substance of "The
Elements of Grammar taught in English," adapted for the use of
Junior Classes. A New Edition. 18mo. Is.

The author's effort in these two books has been to point out the broad,
beaten, every-day path, carefully avoiding digressions into the bye-ways
and eccentricities of language. This work took its rise from questionings
in National Schools, and the whole of the first part is merely the writing
out in order the answers to questions which have been used already with
success. Its success, not only in National Schools, from practical work
in which it took its rise, but also in classical schools, is full of encourage-

ment.

In the course of the last twenty years the whole question of Liturgical knowledge has been reopened with great learning and accurate research, and it is mainly with the view of epitomizing their extensive publications, and correcting by their help the errors and misconceptions which had obtained currency, that the present volume has been put together.

PROCTER.-AN ELEMENTARY HISTORY of the BOOK of COMMON PRAYER. By FRANCIS PROCTER, M.A. 18mo. 2s. 6d.

The author having been frequently urged to give a popular abridgment of his larger work in a form which should be suited for use in schools and for general readers, has attempted in this book to trace the History of the Prayer-Book, and to supply to the English reader the general results which in the larger work are accompanied by elaborate discussions and references to authorities indispensable to the student. It is hoped that this book may form a useful manual to assist people generally to a more intelligent use of the Forms of our Common Prayer.

The Author has endeavoured to connect the history of the New Testament Canon with the growth and consolidation of the Church, and to point out the relation existing between the amount of evidence for the authenticity of its component parts and the whole mass of Christian literature. Such a method of inquiry will convey both the truest notion of the connexion of the written Word with the living Body of Christ, and the surest conviction of its divine authority.

By BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, B.D. Third Edition.
8vo. 10s. 6d.

Crown

This book is intended to be an Introduction to the Study of the Gospels. In
a subject which involves so vast a literature much must have been over-
looked;
but the author has made it a point at least to study the researches
of the great writers, and consciously to neglect none.

WESTCOTT.-THE BIBLE in the CHURCH. A Popular Account of the Collection and Reception of the Holy Scriptures in the Christian Churches. Second Edition. By BROOKE FOSS WESTCOTT, B.D. 18mo. cloth, 4s. 6d.
