Dreams

There is a charm, a freshness about this piece of fiction difficult to analyze. The book seems, indeed, like an abstract from life itself, so unexpected are its episodes and so reasonably unreasonable many of its conclusions. It is to be commended for the delicacy and vigor of its art as well as for the wholesome quality of the morals it inculcates." -Boston Beacon.

He has had also unrestricted access to Lord Russell's official and private correspondence during his long life; and to other confidential matter in the possession of the family.

"A great career, a character of marked eminence and individuality, an abundance of novel and authentic material, all treated with sound judgment and approved literary skill by a writer singularly well qualified to handle so congenial a theme." The Times.

THE

"OXFORD" TEACHERS' BIBLE

Contains more Biblical Information than any other Teachers' Bible.

Pronounced by the most eminent English and American Scholars and Clergymen of all denominations to be the BEST TEACHERS' BIBLE MADE.

The great success of this book has been WON ON ITS MERITS, and we invite comparison as to Completeness of Helps, Clearness of Type, Strength of Binding, and Paper.

The vast amount of Biblical information contained in the "OXFORD" Teachers' Bible is so compactly and systematically arranged that the Sunday-school Teacher or Student will find it invaluable in the Preparation of a Lesson or in Bible Study. It is believed that nothing has been left undone in presenting, as far as possible, A PERFECT TEACHERS' BIBLE.

tained in the "OXFORD " Bible for Teachers,

THE HELPS TO THE STUDY OF THE BIBLE, Being all the additional matter that is conhave been carefully revised and enlarged from time to time by Dr. STUBBS, Bishop of Chester; Dr. EDWIN PALMER, Archdeacon of Oxford; Dr. ANGUS, and other eminent scholars. The Scientific Information was prepared under the supervision of Professors ROLLESTON, WESTWOOD, LAWSON, and EARLE -names of the highest authority in their several departments.

[blocks in formation]

"All things taken into consideration, it is one of the most perfect editions of the Sacred Scriptures I have ever seen. I wish that we could place a copy in the hands of every Sunday-school superintendent and teacher in America."

"We have no reason to change our expressed opinion that the 'OXFORD' Teachers' Bible is the most serviceable for the use of the ordinary Sundayschool teacher."

"This invaluable and incomparable book is the most wonderful digest, both in compactness and completeness, of Biblical information, compiled by the best scholarship of the age, that has been offered to the general reader.”

"In my judgment, the 'OXFORD' Bible, in its different varieties and styles, surpasses all others in accuracy, clearness of type, fulness of marginal notes and references, where such are used-in a word, in every requisite of a perfect English Bible."

"Indeed, the book is a library in itself, and should be in the hands of every student of the Bible. It is so compactly and beautifully prepared that it is in every way suitable for the study, the family, the Sunday-school, and the church."

"The very best. I have carefully examined the volume, and can unreservedly recommend it."

"The most complete Bible yet published."

“A noble edition, remarkably full and accurate, giving a wonderful amount of information under the various heads."

"These Helps are an Encyclopædia in themselves, and put the lay reader in possession of the results of scientific study. Wherever there is a Bible they should go with it. They make the reader independent of commentaries, dictionaries, concordances. Everyone interested in the Bible will do his best to give them a wide circulation."

"It is the most superb, complete, and useful edition of the Holy Scriptures in the English language I have ever seen."

"The essence of fifty expensive volumes, by men of sacred learning, is condensed into the pages of the 'OXFORD' Bible for Teachers."

"Beyond question THE Bible for the busy clergyman. In beauty and excellence it has never been surpassed.'

"This generation has great cause to be thankful for the ‘OXFORD' Bible for Teachers."

THE "OXFORD" INDIA PAPER EDITIONS Are the marvels of the age in Bible publishing. The wonderful Lightness of these books, the marvelously Clear Printing, the Strength and Excellence of Binding, combine to place them far in advance of any book hitherto issued. Compare the "OXFORD” INDIA PAPER EDITIONS with any so-called India paper.
